I don't understand how I placed 6th. Can judging really be based on numbers?
Architecture is art. This is like saying a house with 5 bedrooms scores
higher than one with 4. I understand it has to be unbiased, but seriously, I
guess you have to see it to understand.
Also, if you look at Chrystal's house from the FRONT YARD instead of the
side yard (where the contest warp brings you...), her house looks very
simular to the example house. At first, I even thought of using the same
object set for my entry, but I figured I'd be counted down, seeing as it's
unoriginal. I'd like to congradulate those who actually did win something.
Pay somebody $100 to put together a lego set using the instructions, give
$10 to the person who made something completely different with them.

Sexy Eyes: hi syntax
Syntax: hai
spyder: :P at newsgroup messages
Sexy Eyes: i could care less what the newgroups have to say... they are all
nothing more than slamming people for no reason... always complaining...
ALaskanShadow: Hyper Anthony: I'm sorry for whatever on earth I did to
offend you, but ejecting people from your world for their honest-to-god
opinion on something isn't a very good way to do things. :/ Also, not
letting me defend my self seems rather childish
spyder: i propose a rejudging session.. with completely different unique
judges :|
spyder: or community vote

Sexy Eyes: I found the fairest way to have a vote, one that was foolproof,
and because you don't like the outcome, I am being ridiculed in newsgroups,
etc... I won't be doing this again.
Sexy Eyes: I don't need the crap the kids give all the time.

okay time to end this crap... but meh i already think it died, since you
people are converting currency.. anyway...
first off.. why am i always at my contest lot? i'm afk, silly. usually you
can find that out if i park my av on the bed... putting on lipstick and
kissing judge butt... no... besides the fact i didn't even know who the
judges were, i don't wear lipstick :o. also, it's nice to read what people
comment on throught the night (compliments;ideas;criticism). why is josh
there? he obviously knows how to make a winning house, so he gives me tips
or ideas. why do i build from blueprints? because i'm considering choosing
architecture as a major when i go to college, unoriginal? in a way, i guess,
but when i was considering what i would build for the contest, i'd figured
"is it easy to build from your mind, or from specifications?" i hate
building from my mind because the next day i dislike what i've already
built. following blueprints is having to meet the requirements of a guide.
oh seiya -- that gang up deali-o had nothing to do with josh, it was like
4am his time when that happened, and didn't you say you enjoyed that, since
it "motivated" you to build even more?

anyway, i do agree on the fact SE was the host and it was wrong to get rowdy
with her, seeing as she had no control over the judge marks. even the day i
registered for the contest, i told her the prize was very generous of her. i
would be frustrated too, but oh well. these contests are the main reason i
use activeworlds, i only build when theres a 'purpose' behind it. the main
shocker which was surprising was when Chrystal got away with 1st place with
those prefab'd walls. Many agree her entry looks very simular to the
gz/model house. variety is very limited when using a building set. this just
in, from the screenshot of my house on the afantasy website, i've realized
the interior textures zbuffered in with the siding textures.

If this was the case with the judges... that's a technical flaw. I'm sure
that wasn't the problem, though.

Anyway, the contest is history, i feel no more need to complain(or whine)
about my loss, if things were to actually go my way and I get first, I'll
feel guilty for Chrystal. Things are they way they are.
Hopefully I've addressed all issues I felt needed clarification, and I still
believe I somehow implanted some soft flaming in here. I currently accept
all flames, as I find this a good excercise of reasoning.

wow, congratz on bringing this back up. if i lost the competition, and am
'considered a sore loser', why should it matter if my build is still in your
world or not? "I never kick anyone out of my world without valid reason!"
.... you ejected me instead of josh, and it took you an hour just to find out
how to delete the ejection.

sorry i was trying to eject josh not you. I am trying to fix that now

Telegram from Sexy Eyes, sent Sun Oct 31, 2004 7:48 PM:
I did everything I could... even set the time back... let me try once more

Telegram from Sexy Eyes, sent Sun Oct 31, 2004 7:49 PM:
once more try please?

Telegram from Sexy Eyes, sent Sun Oct 31, 2004 7:50 PM:
we are working on it...

also, there weren't any rules saying I couldn't. Hell, my house can't
compete with any of the rest, so consider it a good deed. " I had plenty of
complaints by users who were there just to see the builds during the
Halloween party, " ... I know you're probably not going to post again due to
the "messages that undoubtedly will be posted
here since bashing is always a problem in this newsgroup", but clarify that.
Complaints about me? or complaints about the results? anyway... I've asked
this before, since the contest is over, may I know the 5 participants in
judging? I want to ask them how they came to their decision. Besides this,
this whole topic is old, and you're just reminding them that I'm immature,
they already know ;D.

As much as following an avatar around, or playing around with those silly
tourists, this all appears to be teen behavior. And where is it happening?
AWTeen. My knowledge of the people who reside in the AWTeen core is very
limited, but I would believe they are teens too. If this is viewed as an
event that requires an ejection, input it into the CA. As weird as these
ejections were, I do believe there was a reason behind them, but it should
at least be clarified to the ejectee. Josh posted here because he was
confused. So would anybody else if they were ejected without knowing the
reason.
"Until you can calm down and abide by the guidelines you are ejected. This
came on a recomendation by the PK's and others."
I find that as a qualified ejection, only if he's caught doing something
wrong again. If you decided to eject him WHILE he was touristing around as
"Johns Gal" or so, he would have a better understanding of why he just got
the ejection. What happened is as if you recieved a ticket for speeding last
week. Absurd.
