" (not sure if this is also a problem with Islam either O_o)."

It's a capital offence in some muslim countries. Christian culture is like
a tranny on a gay pride float compared to the islamic world when it comes to
gay acceptance.

Doesn't really apply to AW, but neet idea!

Try putting a a rotate and a move on one. Also, make sure the object you
want to fly around is off-set so that when it rotates, it orbits an invible
point, rather than just sit there and spin. I've seen the exact effect you
speak of in many worlds, you should maybe ask em.

upload avatar files, web based thinggy checks for a max file size, rwx
thingy tests for max geometry size (so you can't have a 500x500m flashing
cube for an av).

That would work. Untill of course someone uploads some X rated AV and some
easilly offended types freak out and AW realises it's way too hard to check
every av and shuts the thing down?

Who knows, I'm sure they'll think of something.

Aug 10, 2005, 4:27pm

That sounds awfull complex. They'll probably not have inspections and just
disable custom avatars from awi owned worlds so no children kill their
siblings and rob a bank after seeing a boob. They just don't have the time
to inspect hundreds, thousands of avs.

An easier idea would to set up some sort of community group like the PK's,
free labour inspecting new avs. I'm sure there are plenty of busy bodies
out there that would love to sit there judging every av to protect children
and not correctly folling the rules and rejecting any av who's clothes they
judge not lady-like or of the wrong religion or race or didn't like the way
that av looked at them.

Over all, will be fun to see how they handle it.

That's one of the reason's I'll never pay money for objects. But I'm always
up for a fun trade! AW should just be a relaxing hobby, not some huge
stressfull business full of copywrites and rip offs and ego-tantrums.

Aug 17, 2005, 6:08am

No problem, you'll find the AW NG a place where simple mistakes are ignored
with a smile, rather than jumped on and make fun of or yelled at for days
and days in a non-stop flood of flaming resulting in people flaming the
flamers and so on. That never happens, because we're a happy mature
community.

Did putting the UV mapping back to normal make the zbuffering go back to
normal? Sounds like something some expirimentation might figure out.

Also, the ground is slightly offset to be a tiny bit lower. Perhaps when
you scaled up the ground, it scaled UP the ground making it overlap closer?
Who knows, but it's a very interesting question.

Seriously, just shut up. I can't tell any of you apart. You're all bunch
of kids who pissed their pants in public and instead of quietly going off
and doing your laundry, you all air it out and point at shout at eachother
about who peed first or who's piss stinks worse. Stop slapping the
community newsgroups with your wet urine stained pants, we don't like the
smell, we don't care who pissed their pants first, why, or what you're going
to do about it.

No, I don't care who started it, I don't care who's right or wrong, I don't
care about the issue, none of us do. Shut up. If you want to have a pants
pissing contest, have it in private please, you all make the NG smell of
urine. Christ, you all won't even piss in one corner, have to keep pissing
all up and down the NG by starting new threads each time one of you can't
control your self. I know you all feel angry and embarased after making
such public fools of your selves, but it's best to just slink away quiety
and for gods sakes, get a new pair of pants, we're sick of hearing about
these ones. You all know who you are.

Not that there's anything wrong with modeling for a business, but it's nice
to see someone who models from the same 'place' that I do, sweets. So much
less stress, eh?

I don't think zones will work like that or suffer from those problems.

Also, your potential problem you laid out seems mainly only applicable in
public building worlds, and they WON'T be adding zones to alpha and such.

I never trust people who don't accept telegrams and hide their online
status.

Usually such people are super paranoid privacy freaks, or have been 'forced'
to seal them self off due to a large amount of enemies they'll manage to
develop.

Why oh why oh why does this need to be aired out here in the community NG?
Please keep your dirty laundry to your self. If you feel you're being
harassed, deal with it like an adult with the person bothering you, or let
the PK's handle it for you. But under no circumstances should such
ridiculous immature personal squabbles be aired out here.

Not that these types of threads arn't totally hillarious watching adults
flame each other and get all huffy and defensive untill their threads are
deleted, but in all these cases nothing is ever settled, no one 'wins'.
Everyone who airing their dirty laudry in a contest as to who's stinks more
loses.

I don't care how mean someone was to you, that's not what this NG is for.
The moment you try to drag their name through the mud here in the NG, you
lose. If onesummer comes in here and posts a long winded huffy defence
instead of dealing with this one on one, she loses too.

Oct 31, 2005, 7:49pm

I take it all back, I love these gossip threads!

Nov 8, 2005, 7:44pm

It's just a matter of seeing how they store their models. Maybe it's
actually just compressed up in some file a bunch of rwx's

Nov 8, 2005, 7:50pm

I'm sure people have complained about it before, but it happend to ME, so
it's personal now!

Today I come into awgz and see some people talking about aw in general.
Someone mentions second life and how it just isn't the same as aw. To add
my feelings of happyness about aw in a public place, I happily write about
how I've seen 2nd life and there.com but neither offer anything close to
what I like about AW. Ah, customer satisfaction, word of mouth, good moral
boost for the company. Right? nope. I'm ejected. What??? I quick read
what I said. I didn't say 2nd life was shit, or there.com was fucking
boring. Why!! Why was I ejected!

Then I get a telegram from strike explaining what happened. uhgg...

Ok AWI, I can understand maybe you got a ton of tourists spamming "VISIT
THERE.COM!!!!" over and over or something ridiculous like that, and this
drastic step was needed to stop it. Either way, if that's the reason, the
spammers are gone and you're just hurting loyal customers. It seems
quite... deperate and oppressive. You'll lose more customers with this
tactic than you will from people talking about your competitors.

Nov 20, 2005, 11:08pm

How would you enforce it? Make them sign up using a credit card that then
bills then automatically after 2 weeks? If tourists needed to have a credit
card or something like that to sign in, it would discourage a huge chunk of
them, and using a credit card would be the only reliable way to enforce
this. IP's change, email addresses are free and easy to create a million
of.

Black people and mentally challenged people in texas with only small amounts
of evidence are different from normal people SWE, you don't need the same
amount of evidence for it to be morally ok to kill them. Bush is a direct
conduit to god and KNOWS who is must die.

I'd like an STD test before mating with your world. Also, any genetic

If one has soooo many friends you can't have a moment of peace and
apparently half of them get mad when you 'ignore' their tele's, well,
looks like a self-correcting social system.

A friend that can't respect your need to work sometimes and gets mad you
don't shower them with instant attention isn't really a friend and
you'll be well off without their bothering.

Or at least that's my code-less option...

But yes, a 'busy' flag along with the afk would be nice for some people.

Another sugestion would be to become some sort of strange semi-hermit
like me! It does wonders!

Jan 19, 2006, 8:45pm

I'm not one to air complaints like this on the NG, but I feel my self in
the mood to write, and maybe get some feed-back other than 'told you so' :p

For all my many years in AW, I've always known most people seemed to
hate Goreans and their community. I always admired the fact that they
were a strong role playing community I thought they added to the AW
community. I assumed most people simply didn't agree with their chosing
to role play as slaves, and some of their "adult" content. I always
thought "sheesh people, it's just a game, just some fun fantas role
playing". I've always remembered their worlds to be fairly well done,
in the old days they had some of the first and best fantasy-themed worlds.

So, I thought I'd go on a grand tour of the Gor worlds and simply
explore them, meet the people, and maybe learn a little about Gor (I
know pretty much nothing other than Tal, slaves). At first, being a
stubborn independant type I admit I was a little stubborn when asked my
age and would 'stall' a little, but I'd always give it and learned the
loss of privacy was simply the 'cost of doing business' in Gor.

Exploring a few worlds I found many ranged from absolutly horrible
uninspired 'fantasy' garbage sloppily pieaced together from random free
fantasy sets and even some theme-destroying non-fantasy stuff, to worlds
that seemed to have a consistant theme, planning, and lovely objects and
building. There was one consistancy though, extremely rude bossy
unwelcoming people. (to be fair, I did meet a few, very few, people that
actually gave me the time of day to answer some questions)

Even after giving my age, I'd be followed and houded, I felt like
everyone had their finger on the eject button waiting with glee for me
to say the wrong thing or go to the wrong area. Doing my best to
behave, respect that they were role playing enviornments, and still ask
questions and get info, I was without a doubt always ejected. Many it
seemed could not understand that a visitor was actually trying to not
break the 4th wall by speaking totally OOC. I'd try to ask questions
from the perspective of a traveler, and I'd be met with confusion and
people telling me to read the books. Everyone of course knew I was up
to something. Obviously I was trying to seem interested in Gor and
respectfull of role-playing just to at the list min shout "GOR SUCKS
LOL!!!!", so it was wise of them to eject me before I had a chance to
launch my cunning plan.

The sad thing is, the whole reason for my tour was to learn about gor,
their worlds, and their object needs so perhaps I could use my ability
to make 'fantasy' style objects custom fitted for their theme. I came
in wanting to help a community I often defended and admired, and was
left simply thinking "No wonder everyone hates you, you bring it on your
self!"

I supose in their defence they'll claim they have SO many people and
kids that go there just to cause trouble they've become jaded and
defensive, but in their sweeping "Eject first and don't even bother to
ask questions second" policies, they've chased away an innocent simply
wanting to learn and provide low-cost/free/traded objects. I guess
that's no loss to them, but it was sad for me to be proven so wrong.
