Trying to make money IS pretty anti-american.

Free tourists? What are you some sort of COMMIE?!?!?!

Voice chat?! Finaly after years of wonder, I'll know how the hell "ur",
"thx", and alternating caps is pronounced.

Don't forget, stuff like AFK and other internet-speak bits and bobs are
becoming fairly universal, as is the english language. I don't think
someone in germany would throw their computer out their window in
frustration of everything being in german except for some little globaly
used net-bit that happend to have origins in english.

I doubt most know what OK stands for, but it is also fairly universally used
all over the world.

I think we're really getting nit-picky here on the regional issue here.

princess nerwen, due to your critical failure on this attempt to troll, you
loose 11,000 experiance and fall to Troll Level 7. As your DM I recomend
multiclassing Troll 7 / Person shutting the fuck up level 20.

Oh!!! Now you tell me! I had to reformat my computer EVERY DAY because
someone would email me a "kewl game" or "the file you asked for" and I'd
HAVE to open it, even though it was a 5k exe file and claimed to be the
half life source code. You mean I'm allowed to delete ultra obvious
viruses? Ha what next, you'll tell my I'm allowed to disable scripting in
IE?

He hates our freedom. He's attacking AW because he's "evil". It has
nothing to do with a desire for attention, which is why all these many huge
threads talking about him is really going to help the whole situation.

So everyone, every time he does even the smallest thing, we all need to
rally together and start at least 5 threads all about him.

OBJECT PASSWORDS!!! NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!111111oneoneoneoneOMG

I'm not sure which god, I'd have to know what race and class the Princess
is. If she's good, probably one of the gods from Celstia, if she's
lawfull evil, probably Hextor, the god of tyrany. If she's a dwarf,
probably Moradin. Consult your players handbook.

RFC standards?

Mar 18, 2004, 5:34pm

I'm sure someone will do it for free, there are many extra lovely people
willing to spare the tiny amount of bandwidth for a world.

Mar 19, 2004, 9:22pm

I'm looking for a few understanding people willing to partake (see: endure)
in some very early testing of a new game.

First, let me tell you a little about the game.

Back-story:
The general back-story is that a few centuries ago there was some sort of
war on this planet, and your ancestors managed to hide in an old underground
complex. As the complex was not suited for living, the people spent their
first half century tunneling down, eventually building a fairly respectable
little community deep underground. Once finished, they abandoned the old
upper levels and sealed them selves in their new village, everything went
well until lately.

Things are starting to break down, and each generation seems less paranoid
than the last. Finally the village elders have allowed people to leave, but
it is a one way trip as the leaders are quite paranoid about people
contaminating their little underground utopia. As a player, you are one of
the people leaving the crumbling settlement to see what is out there and
make a new life.

Gameplay:
Players will start with a small assortment of items and a limited supply of
food. What they do next is totally open ended. A player could become a
scavenger, finding old treasures and food where its available. A group of
players could band together and create their own town that they rule their
own way. The world is full of opportunities and dangers, what they make of
them is totally up to the player. There will be no tedious level gaining or
money making, as such tedious tasks are done automatically whether the
player is on or not. A player simply tells the bot how they'd like to spend
their time for that turn, and at the start of the next turn the results are
in. This frees the players up to do interesting things like going on
adventures, socializing, and of course building. The game's story will be
almost totally organic and player driven rather than forced with a heavy
hand by a few 'writers', players are the stars of the game, not the admins.
Players run and make choices for the towns, players decide rules and laws,
and players actions decide how the game evolves. Perhaps all the players
will band into one peaceful town and the game will focus on building and
trading. Perhaps a few opposed towns will form resulting in conflict.
Perhaps no one works together for common defense and the land is over-run by
monsters. The outcome of the game is up to the players.

Although the game is quite open ended, the general focus is on economicaly
realistic building along with role playing and community building. If
you've ever wanted to own your own little farm or lumber mill, and work as a
community with other people to develop your own city, this might be the game
for you.

So, if this sounds like something you might be interested in, and would like
to participate in the very early stages (no or very limited bot, gameplay
changes on the fly, restarts) just send me, Baro, a telegram!

Ask the people incharge of winter rather than the entire community? Sounds
like they over-wrote an object on their path.

Apr 1, 2004, 7:49pm

Uhg that's it you two are on my filter list.

NEWS GROUP

not CHAT ROOM. If your msg has nothing to do with the community, is only
targetted at one person, then don't use the NG's. Telegram, email, or
grow up. One of those 3 will do.

Mar 30, 2004, 5:25pm

You're on time out for the rest of the day buster.

Apr 1, 2004, 5:37pm

What, you want a business to try to make LESS money and have LESS power so
that "the people" can have a better quality of life? What are you a
COMMUNIST?!?!

Apr 1, 2004, 11:07pm

Another universe becomes worth visiting even...

Apr 4, 2004, 1:22am

I couldn't figure it our from the two other threads on the subject, but now
I know.

Apr 4, 2004, 4:39am

Yeah, I bet the asshole just wanted to see multiple threads packed full of
people talking about how horrible it all is, it's a good thing we didn't
give him that.

Also next time anyone emails anyone an object password, I want to see at
least 10 threads about how horrible it is. Only you can prevent forest
fires.

Apr 4, 2004, 8:48pm

Are you under training from The Lady?

Apr 4, 2004, 9:03pm

I don't think I could have said it better my self lightning old guy....

Also, sweet spinning saviors, woman! Seven lines is NOT cool for a sig.
NOT COOL. You are on a TIME OUT little lady. Go sit in the quiet corner
untill you're ready to come back and play with the rest of NG.

Apr 6, 2004, 4:40am

Which worlds? AW and AWteen seem to be the only active awi active worlds...
no reason to expand dead worlds.

Cute, except for the fact that you listed pretty much everything as
growing. When most are falling.

Jul 28, 2005, 5:38pm

When I left AW about 1.5 years ago the NG always had someone who would post
every single thought, problem, personal issue, thanks, apologies,
condemnations, and mistakes as a new topic on the newsgroups. No amount of
yelling at them to stop, think before they post, keep personal matters
personal, or post in the general NG rather than community could stop them.
They were on a crusade. Found the word "shit" at 453345n 35989w on a sign
in AW? Emergency! Post a topic about how AWI is a horrible company that is
forcing bad language on minors and DEMAND action. Someone at awgz call them
an idiot? IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ALERT and demands to the community to be
nicer. This person seems long gone from AW and I really miss her posts.
Thankfully, it seems although the names have changed in AW, it's the same
old entertainment.

So, please continue posting every ridiculous personal squabble, every single
pet political issue, every single bout of reactionary overblown mental
diarrhea that you wish to dump all over the NG. NEVER think "hmm is this a
personal issue I should simply deal with one on one and if I can not, let is
pass?". Never ever consider "Does this post really have anything to do with
community events and announcements?". Never change, you are my shining
star. You are the wind beneath my wings, good sir.

AW, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT

In AW, we have freedom of speech (untill they can eject you). Sometimes
that means someone might say a bad word or two and offend your virgin ears,
but we also have freedom to travel. You damn liberal foriegners coming into
MY AW that my grandparents DIED to make FREE and suddenly I can't beat you
to death with a plastic baby jesus from a nativity scene because it isn't
"Politically Correct". Well what about MY RIGHTS. I like to call douche
bags douche bags, it's something our country was founded on. If you don't
like it, you can mute me, but I'll always get that first "you're a douche
bag" off. It's the risk we take living in a free society like AW.'

I was BORN in AW. I grew here, you flew here buddy. NEW citizens like you
must adapt. We ahve experianced a surge of citizens like you who think they
own AW because they registered, and the whole AW society has to cater to
what offends YOU.

Now, I'm not against new citizens, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who
is seeking a better life by coming to AW. Our population is almost entirely
made up of immigrants. However, when new citizens come ashore and start
demanding we change OUR laws to suit what offends them or what THEY think is
a problem, it only dilutes our sovereignty and virtual identity.

So once you are done complaining, whining, and gripbing about our local
wildlife (tourists), our laws, our way of life, our national motto, I highly
encourage you to take advantage of our great freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
