Ummmm a question? How does this pertain to most of the NG's you crossposted
to? It should have been put in WORLDBUILDERS and thats it!

*grins at wings* I have to agree I belive it was all blown out of proportion
as well. Barsoom has it's password, and I will be hornswaggled if I am going
to spend another 2 weeks uploading files just to change it unless I "have"
to.

Actually I am suspecting that they mean a votign script for people to be
able to come grade the build and have the bot track the "grades".

Lots of people would like soemthing like this, others would hate it.

They seem to be working on this one.

Can't this already be done with a drag on the window frames of the AW

Good idea! I like it.

Interesting concept, only drawback I see to it would be a sky build.

Another idea I like, however it would cause a few nightmares for world

Not for me, but I know quite a few who would love it.

You can already do this. Just not with /me instead just bracket your action

Excellent idea here, and one I wholeheartedly support!

Hmmm, I suspect the implimentation of this one would give Roland fits, but
it is still a good idea. Although as someone who makes avatars I cannot
think of how to pull it off, and have it user activated all off one avatar.
Unless of course the mouth of an avatar were to be made with lip clumps and
custom SEQs written for talking etc.

I like this idea, and I do not see any reason it would crash anyone out.
Heck in a frozen state the avatar would lessen lag I would think.

This would be a bot thign to be honest. I know you may not want to hear
that, but it is the fact. Unless you plan on being at your world 24/7 to
recofig the settings when the times happen.

Great idea!

Most worlds outside of the "official" one provide their builders with a list
of objects, be it a txt file they send to them, or a webpage depends, but
they still provide one.

This could make for more realisim in our virtual "reality".

Useful if you have to hunt someone down, although I would think it a spoiler

world.

Ahh but there are game worlds.

Doesn't make it NOT a game either. It is all depending on the perspcetive of

*smiles* Well I myself do not see AW as a game in and of itself but a nice
chat that ALSO allows those who want to game a way to do it. I know
paintball worlds are (or were) popular, and a more "game" style layout may
prove popular. However I also do not think that a full "game" interface
should be done if it will hamper those who do not play the games. Not sure
how it could hamper, but you know someone will tell how.

Excuse me? I never said it was one or the other. As a matter of fact I
implied it is BOTH! Now lay off I have not tried to stomp on your opinions,

Problem is the create rotates can create some pretty high lag at times.
Haveing the object rotateable on all three axis without the extra command
would be nice.

The only use for a bank in AW would be for those engaged in role playing of

When you need to buy gear in game then you need cash.

Heres something that is LONG overdue. How about a setting to will turn
the world symbol on the worlds list yellow, meaning open to anyone with
an AW citizenship, but tourists not allowed.
It would sure save on bandwidth for runnign bots to keep tourists out.

Dec 22, 2001, 11:05pm

I do not forget I was a tourist at one time, however I also ordered my cit# my
first day as a tourist.
But with the RPG we are beginning on my world and the fact that our bots for
said game only react to avatar clicks on people with valid cit#'s tourists just
get in the way of it all.-

How about the avatar.dat not being cached at all so it will update
itself more? Kinda gets old havign to tell everyone to do it.

Yes I like that one ananas.

I know about doing that, but for alot of hosts doing that causes the
bandwidth to double and triple. Been warned about it by various OP hosts I
have used. Some of them get so touchy afterall when it comes to bandwidth.

There is a third option data. A price increase that is FAIR. If it is a fair
price people will still pay it (most of them anyway). I suggest $30 myself,
but I would be barely able to go as high as $40.
