Yes, what sort of team would upload and check hundreds of daily requests in

This would require one feature that I could see needing, and a great feature
that I have yet to think of: objects with actions that create you to have a
certain gesture.. (not neccessarily on the avitars.dat too, so it could be
used only when appropriate and not ahve a person sitting in mid air or
pedaling as they walk)

there could be a "sitting" gesture that the action code of the couch calls
the avatar to do.. hmm.. think i'll put this as a seperate post as well..
seems interesting to me :-)

Excluding people on the world right's list has been a feature asked for for
ages: but if you recall on the "feature vote" aw has up, custom AVs have
defeated this one overwhelmingly, so I guess people like us will have to
hold off until more people realize what an amazing feature this would be.

A) That was originally one of the major things differentiating the user
levels of tourist and citizen
B) Tourists can not run bots - if they could; keep in mind they all share
citnumber 0, i'm sure the botlimit would fill very fast.. and which one of
these grey's would determine the ppw? ;-)

These are stored on the server, not in the compromisable cache of AW, and
therefor not available in standalone mode.. (thank goodness, I wouldn't want
someone altering their cache after the world DLs to give themself whatever
rights they please, lol, even if they don't hold world-wide.. it would just
be an easier way for an amatuer to do a makeshift "awhack"

Aye - Bless AW for their ability to allow such flexibility with bots :-)
they are amazing..

AW is *NOT* written in vb.. and also note that ; breaks the action into a
seperate tag all together, follow your actions with a ; and type your
comments and they will not effect the action whatsoever..

How about.. objects with actions that create you to have a certain gesture..
(not neccessarily on the avitars.dat too, so it could be used only when
appropriate and not ahve a person sitting in mid air or pedaling as they
walk)

there could be a "sitting" gesture that the action code of the couch calls
the avatar to do.. or a pedaling gesture linked from an excersize bikes so
your avatar appears to ride the excersize bike :-)

Nov 29, 2002, 9:51pm

Yeah, when cits were $20 a year you could add 3 more bots for $20 (virtually
buying another cit) I'de assume that now though that the 3 bot limit
increase costs the same as Cits do now..

OOOOH!!!!
Now I remember!!

I wish AW would get rid of simple mode - they just added it as request of
their past-business parter Juno, to me it's just another hurdle for tourists
to have to cross, they don't even get to see most the features of AW with
simple mode on...

and quite frankly, i'm sickened by it..

Bots in AW 3.4 with the 3.4 world server can customly format the color and
style of a users text...
...other then that there really isn't anything else you can do...

[View Quote]

Apr 16, 2003, 9:05am

that would be very difficult seeing as how the browser knows no differance
between a street.rwx and a couch.rwx ..however it could be done perhaps if
modelers were to enter a pre-defined comment line or something that AW could
search for, and if found in the object, align you as you wish by the
option...

however i'm not sure there is much of a need or desire for this option,
since it really makes no difference where in the road you walk, heh...

I Disagree..

I had a sony laptop & a horrible experience. The thing crashed more then my desktop comp, and when it broke, getting it fixed was a
bitch. The hinges where the monitor folds over snapped off for no apparent reason, when giving it to sears they sent it to wyoming
or someplace like that, It was returned with, yes, the hinges fixed, but the latch & touchpad both broken. We talked to Sears and
both them & Sony deny ever doing work on it, and niether would take responsibility and fix their work. I have decided to go against
sony & sears if at all possible and think that if this is the way they are going to treat people, then others should as well.

Aug 10, 2001, 8:27pm

And I agree.. however I felt it necessary to share my experience as to enlighten others of possible issues, if they read that and
are disheartened, then find another company which no one has every had complaints about (yeah right, but you get the point) then
they will ultimateley recieve a better product. I personally liked going to Sears, and am satisfied with my other Sony products,
but based on principle will not purchase either untill they have resolved their communication problems. I am more then willing to
by a sony television at a different appliance store, or by something other then sony at sears, however the combination of sony at
sears will never happen from me again. I actually haven't been to sears since nor bought a sony product because of my mom's all-out
boycott of both. I was just sharing an experience so others could perhaps learn from it, or at least be aware. Awareness is a
higher point of intelligance, and I think that if I can help the others be aware of certain things, then we are all that much better
off.

I am not fully for the use of Custom Avatars because I feel it can be abused rather be by size, or obscene use of textures/seqs.
Therefore I have come up with an Idea that I feel might make us all happy, wheather you be for 100% Custom AVs, or None at all.

A World owner would be able to have one of three choices in regards to Custom AVs in their world.

Option A) Allow All Custom Avatars
-Will allow ANY custom avatar that a visitor would like to use.

Option B) Limited Custom Avatars
-AW will have an "av maker" in which a world owner can specify what textures/objects or "bodies" and sequences that can be used. A
small dialog box within AW will show these options and create the avatar as per the users request. This way the world owner can
"censor" and limit the custom avatars people use, to prevent them from being too big, too small, or obscene.

Option C) No Custom Avatars
-No users will be allowed Custom Avatars in that world.

I think that having these three options is a good compromise for people who are for/against custom AVs and the reasons why. Let me
know what you think..

Reply posted are-specific below..

: Ok, it's about 3 am in the morning and I can't sleep, so I'm just going to
: write down my beliefs and hopefully this will get me back to sleep.

Sleep's over rated ;-)

: I understand a lot of you Americans out there are going to reply to this
: message with all your bible terms, I understand most of you probably go to
: church every Sunday morning...

It will be the death of us...

Anyway, I don't have any religion, and you
: would NEVER see me walking into some church, they were never there at the
: beginning, it was never intended for us to 'worship' someone...
:
Amen.. as far as i'm concerned the "Beginning" is something that happened and is over with.. maybe we don't know how.. maybe we do..
but false idealogy and using brainwashing technieques for guilt-free conformity and in-grown roots of discrimination in such a *free
loving* religon is absurd and will lead to the demise of our great people..

: Don't question my beliefs though, I'm not trying to get all of you to
: understand or agree with me in any of this.

Unlike your religous counterparts you show a large amount of respect in simply stating your beliefs and letting people interpert
what they won't rather then feeding it into your brains like i'm sure many of the responses you recieve will attempt to do..

: Anyway, to get this started;
: I believe in re-incarnation, and I believe in what people so call 'heaven'
: happens to be Earth, this is MY thought, and my thought only, at least this
: use to be a better place to live in before technology ruined it all for us,
: including destroying nature, re-producing to the state that some countries
: can't even support its people anymore. Earth itself seems more like hell
: because of it, some people don't want to live in it anymore, walking down
: the streets and getting their heads kicked in over a t-shirt. We, ruined it
: all for ourselves...

The great "advancing technology" has left some behind.. even many of our own minds, hearts and soul... we cheat evolution in a way
that will some day lead to a massacre of "natural" (non disease or 3rd party) deaths of an outstanding caliber. We've almost got
ourselves killed hundreds of time in history because of our false pride and wonderfull "technology" but I don't care what anyone
says our "pride" and "technology" and intelligance, no matter how limited it may be will lead us to suicide in a false sense of
security and personal- belonging which we will all discover is just that we are all the same.. more people marching down the
assembly line as our society spoon-feed's us it's conforming authoritarian beliefs, no matter your form of govornment they are all
the same..

: Another thing, a brain does not store your knowledge, a brain only stores
: memory, and is also used to control the body you happen to be in right now.
: This would explain, when you have already lived once and start a new life
: that you happen to be smarter than others, because you bring your knowledge
: with you in the next life, of course, without you knowing about this
: knowledge, it comes back without you really knowing... Why don't you know
: this? Because the brain held the 'memory', so you can't 'remember' your past
: life and your past knowledge in the new one... If that makes any sense?

Yes, your mind stores your memory.. and your thought process converts these memories and experiences into knowledge, you will find
your self several times relating in your mind things to memories of similar experiences of your past... as far as reincarnation I
often wonder if when you die "you" (not the physical you, but your soul, i hate to say soul because of how it has been defined, but
i mean the mental make-up of your mind, not the matter itself) can re-start life again.. your conciense being the preceding life
trying to guide you based on it's experiences.. but the purpose for any of this is unkown.. need there be one?

: This explains the geniuses. However, people like me who have no main
: knowledge of anything, besides what I have learnt in-time by experience and
: teaching myself are new souls... With so much re-production, there isn't
: enough souls to go into the bodies. So... who creates the soul? God?

How do we know it's created, or transfered, perhaps the majority of society are mindless sheeple (sheep + people) who lack any of
their own thought process and just follow around the "majority" denieing all insecurities untill their death.

: So where is hell to me? Although Earth is starting to look more and more
: like a hell hole, I still enjoy living life to its fullest and am not afraid
: of death and to continue on with a new life, until the end of this Earth. I
: don't think anything we can do can fix what has become of Earth today...
: Anyway, back to this 'hell' subject, to me it's a soul that has been
: banished, a soul that does not deserve another chance, one that is to remain
: in this 'spirit' form and stay in an area, not able to leave it. This
: explains your haunted places, ghosts and spirits that are angry, that move
: things around the place, sometimes even try to 'KILL' you or scare you to
: death... Why are they angry? Imagine not being able to leave an area, not
: able to manipulate and touch things, to communicate and socialize, not able
: to take part in life and get somewhere... Yes, that is hell to me...
: But what about those normal ghosts, the 'good' ghosts? They don't stay there
: for ever, they are lost, they have something to finish before continuing on
: with life, something is missing...

Why does there have to be a hell? why does there have to be a heaven? both are meer novelty ideas used to "threaten" people into
conforming with certain beliefs and lifestyles.. why must their be something when it's all over? why must their always be a
"purpose" or "meaning" ..it is just shows how we are product's of our surroundings, we know thing "technologically" inside the box,
what is "possible" and "reality," one of which who's limits have yet been tested..

: Now, this is the part that is most definitely going to get me some flames
: and some miss-treating...
: I believe in the bible being created to control man, man created it and
: spread it to control.
: And this part is even worse, but yes, I ripped up my bible to threads 10
: years ago...

I don't necessarily like sharing a lot of my view's because I feel that I am in a "public" position by leading AWDebate and feel
that in many aspects and debate's I should remain neutral as not to show a bias towards certain things and people's.. you may not
believe me because you don't see it often.. but I am truly (for many aspects, when you question my values and morals on which I live
I tend to sling mud) a open minded person willing to listen to people's ideas no matter what they are, and feel that this sharing of
knowledge is the basis of which communication was formed, to inform other life forms of experiences you incurred, so that they do
not have to endure the "torture" as far as the bible, and any organized religon for that matter. It is defineteley a tool created
by man to control the masses. For everything you see and do there is a series of events that "evidently" prove the action's
existance, however if you look hard there is also just as much proof that it did not, however none of this, either way, matters if
you have preconcieved notions flowing through your mind of certain things. Most religons were created (i feel) by an ancient
"ruling power" who created a diverse series of "religons" with the same basic principles, this way the ruler can not only capture
the mind but also the people's faith, because faith can push people to new extremes, but being able to locate and manipulate this
faith can lead towards any person to do virtually anything, based on this faith. It is easy to write a story that answers
everyone's questions. When you can clear confusion from the human mind you can maintain ultimate trust and respect from those
people. If you can answer the questions that plague their minds for ages, logically, they won't second-guess near anything you tell
them. If you can answer these questions and capture the deepest part of thier mind and heart you have ultimate control. It seems
to me that people who are religonless see this, but those who are "Trained" thier religons fail to see the similarities and
clearness of my accusations, easily fending them off with what they feel is "simple logic" but to me is ever-contradicting
idealogy.. obviously these people fall victim to brainwashing and control in conformity but are also so far into it that they don't
even know it happened. Whoever created this has discovered the key to manipulating large masses of people to willfully submiss to
your commands & requests, preachings.

: I don't care what your beliefs are, you keep believing them, I will keep
: believing mine :)

That is the open-minded ness I spoke of before, people who are "out of the loop" share these beliefs however religous people will
"disagree" not by voice, but by action, they will pressure you and form their eternal morals based on the "teachings" of these
beliefs, these "religons" which are to unite are creating stigma and worsening discrimination among minorities and even in some
cases a majority.

: But I post this, because this is my true beliefs and I was also bored off my
: nut, and had to write something which may start a huge debate...

I'm sure you started something which you will ultimateley wish you hadn't.. I can guarantee you that many people will gain knowledge
from the upcoming debate on this topic, and some may even question their own beliefs and "place in life." What I have to say to you
is that you can believe as you choose, if you wish to be a christian, you can believe those beliefs, the key to living happily is
understanding the control of your thoughts, people can take the clothes you wear and the food you eat, but the thoughts and beliefs
inside your mind are something that can not be revoked by even the largest army. If some beliefs make it that much easier for you
to get through life, then I urge you to continue practicing those beliefs, however keep in mind that I also have a right to my
beliefs, and others there's.. and "pushing" weather it be from stigma or simple "comments" about certain people's actions and quotes
is taking it a step too far. When you try to weave your ideals into anothers mind you are creating a question in that person's
mind, perhaps a question of their own beliefs.. times in which you question your belief's is time wasted, sure everyone "questions"
the main beliefs on which they live several times thoughtout their life, but swaying them one way or another is taking a small piece
of that little pie called freedom we all bestow in our minds. Let me have my freedom, don't try to make me "conform." That's all I
ask of you, respect, and freedom from what I believe are ultimateley "false truths." Beliefs and thoughts, "evident truths" which
are none but the opposite. Freedom from lies is the ultimate freedom, the same freedom that you base your life on, your beliefs
views and morals. Have a nice day and keep in mind that no matter what happens to you in your "life" how "little" you may have
means nothing.. because you need nothing to drown in a pool of your own thought.

But by controling disease and dissorder, and by buying our air conditioner's and canned food we are slowing the evolution of our
kind, if not bringing it to a hault. The rest of the world is moving in it's natural course which we do not understand and take
blame for, but yet we still sit in our air conditioned house, eating our canned beans and taking our medication, all of which is
leading to our own death. By stalling evolution in such a matter we are dangering ourselves with a great disaster. In 20, 30, 40,
100 years from now when the earth's thousand year cycle has reached it's heat point again (before reverting back to an "ice age"
where it all begins again) we are still alive, the same as we were 20, 40, 100 years before... but just then.. we run out of canned
beans, our electricity supply burned by the blazing heat of the sun and our diseas evolve beyond our medication. What do we do
then? When if we had let nature take it's course we would have evolved with it and not set ourself up for crisis. I honestly
believe we are over-developing our land and resources, and when we realize this it will be too late. If you believe in such a
thing; what we are doing now is destroying the next generation of the "human race" and destroying the natural cycle of evolution and
change. The earth's cycles begin with an "ice age" and evolve in to creatures able to meet the needs of the changing environment..
the world slowly heats up untill all the ice has melted and it sits a giant puddle, after which the sun and earth resume their
cycles, much larger then modern science is aware of and the world slowly dips into darkness and cold, at which it freezes, then the
sun slowly comes closer to our planet once again as the orbit continues, the planet heating and the few remaining ice-creatures
evolving.. into water based life forms which survive in the amazing amount of liquid coating the planet.. it is dried and evaportes
into an "upper atmosphere" of "clouds" which co-exist far beyond our scape, awaiting to rain.. freeze where it is frozen and flow
into rivers and oceans for our consumption and re-enterance into the "cycle" that we are presently aware of. When these sea
creatures evolve into humans again, because of the amount of resources we consumed they will be set far back, and doubtfully survive
long enough to evolve to the changing planet, thereby ending animal life on earth. Plant life will soon follow as the bodies of the
dead can no longer fertilize the soil for them to grow, and control their population from simply destroying eachother. The earth
becoming yet another desolate wasteland that people in other galaxies will come to "debate" if there was ever live on such a baren
planet. This may sound outlandish.. but it makes perfect sense to me..
