> Every last Citizen should have some space on the FTP to place some
(perhaps a limited number) custom objects and/or textures; and every last
object available in any and every world on the AW Server should be available
in AW proper. Limiting objects and commands that are clearly available
elsewhere is absolutely silly. It doesn't even speed anything up. It just
slows us builders down.

You'd need some rules there...what if you made a HUGE object? What if your
object can encroach?

> Every last Citizen should have the rights to eject tourists at will.
If tourists suffer from this they can just buy the damn license.
PeaceKeepers should only have to discipline errant Citizens.

Naw, muting is good enough, it could pretty annoying if *your* talking to a
tourist, and some jerk ejects him.

> There's been some pondering of communities here. I have found that
many tourists, and indeed many Citizens, never make it out of GZ. Why?
Because they like to chat, and it's hard to find other people to chat with
elsewhere. I suggest abandoning Ground Zero entirely. The startout "gate"
should change regularly, even daily, from site to site. Perhaps there can
be contests for who's land "sponsors" GZ, or we could use the winners from
some other contest, or maybe it can be random. If GZ changed every day,
newcomers and old could choose favorite places to be and "communities" could
be more readily established. Think about it.

This is sweet idea! I never heard of this idea before, but I think it would
promote communities big time.

> This one might be harder to implement, but would greatly improve AW:
The ability to turn off SHIFT and/or flying commands should be inherent to
each property, maybe even each sector. We should be able to wall each other
out of our own properties if we so desire. Also, I would like to see a
"Soundproofing" option. In one word: PRIVACY. Yeah, I want to chat
uninterrupted with my friends. New rules separating "public" and "private"
behavior could then be implemented. If some sort of age or rating barriers
could be made (say, a wall that is solid for minors or rating-challenged
individuals), we could even get a little more lax on "adult" content while
simultaneously defending the kids.

Naw, what if you made a wall that was like 2 km long, and hundreds of meters
high, and you couldn't go through it? You'd have to teleport...quite
annoying I'd say.

> AW Developers: If there aren't enough developers working, HIRE ME and
we'll get some things done. I could write half of these changes myself in
cute little easy-to-add-on modules if you (for some reason) can't.

We sure could use some new programmers ^_^

Arg...I hate this server, anyone know of a better one?

Tripod said I violated some rule, but I looked through their rules word by

You can probably try using some kinda drafting program...where you find it

Don't wanna be cocky here, but SW City is a pretty nice town and we never
did any long term planning...just for individual builds really.

What are your opinions?

You'd think the main world of Active Worlds would be a little more
professional.

Immigration Officer: Welcome to AlphaWorld , SW Comit

Not even the right grammar anymore, yeesh. Missing period, and a space
in-between AlphaWorld and the comma. No big deal in most cases, but they
should be more careful =\

My newest build is Whistling Plains Casino. It's really been open since
the 10th, and has been pretty busy all the time. You can play Plinko, slot
machines, Knights of Fire (multiplayer racing game), and the most favorite
game: Money Wheel (kinda like the wheel of fortune), and Roulette will be
available in the next few days. Everything except the slots gives VR money
(working on the slots to change that though).The casino is open whenever I'm
online.

I got together with my friends and we came up with these Top Ten Tips to
Township (TTTTT). By SW Comit, Syntax, and Captain MAD Mike.

10. Let's face it. Your bound to run into "bad builders" every now and
then. Give them some tips on how to build. You might want to type up a
list of tips and publish it. I did (see below).

9. Being a good leader involves your understanding of AW. Learn about it's
history, current events, it's people, memorize the objects and textures,
stay current with the software abilities.

8. Remember, the town just isn't about getting a ton of builders. Work on
it a bit and grow to like the town. Grow to like building! You must do
something 21 times for it to become a habit! Lots of people are more
impressed with building style and the city size rather than its population.

7. If your going for a highly populated town, don't limit your citizen very
much (like lot limitations or charging VR money for land). People have
hundreds of towns to choose so if they pick yours you should treat them like
kings. Although I limiting lot size or charging VR money is a helpful
control, it's just a turn down when your town is starting out.

6. Get yourself known. A good town involves a good mayor. Chat with the
people at AW GZ, try to meet other mayors and organization leaders. You can
get your name listed for various reasons at certain websites (see below).
Chances are, your friends will end up building in your town and they might
be committed builders (which are pretty much the heart of town growth).

5. Get your town known! There's many advertisements organizations out there
willing to help (see below for links). The more people see your town's name
the more likely they'll go there. A nice logo, slogan, and website helps
too.

4. For the love of Enzo, cover you land! There is nothing more frustrating
than someone building on open land where you planned to build! Make sure you
don't overlap your grass, too. In case you run into garbage or vandal, you
can get GET (Garbage Elimination Team) to help, but it takes a couple weeks.
A nice town perimeter is handy too.

3. Make a town square (or GZ). Town squares are a town's first impression,
so you should really try to make this one of your best builds. It can't
just be some 1 day thing, it should be a well thought out detailed area.
Also, it should be informative about town events or city statistic.

2. Township involves good building, so if you want to impress your visitors,
strive to be a good builder. Try new things out, learn what exactly objects
are for. Keep your roads straight and lined up (unless you know what your
doing), experiment. Avoid any type of grassing overlap in the starting
stages of the town. A small overlap at the get go will send a ripple that
you will always regret right through your town. Watch your animated
textures, they take up cell space and can look unsightly since not many
match. Also, technical builds are great (that being things like a paintball
arena, or bot controlled games).

1. One word: commitment. If there's one thing I don't like, it's people
leaving they're town because it's not moving along fast enough. If your
going to start a serious town you need to know what your getting into to: A
long term project. Most towns really don't start picking up until they're
well developed, so you might have to rough it alone for awhile, and when
people start to leak into your town they'll see how good it is and you can
start from there.

Sure a Preston can do they. Use the action command change object, and the
event either be time or VRT. With VRT you can set it so the bot would
change an ad at 1:00 AM, 1:30, 2:00, 2:15, etc, whatever you want really.
With timer you can set it so the bot will change that object every so and so
seconds. Anyway, you gotta know how to get Preston to change objects
around, so you'll need to give them a name (create name ad, for example). I
hope this helps =)
