well how would you like it if someone made a world
named RadonSuX?
and i bet if someone made a world name BlacksSuK
or WhitesSuK theyd remove it with no questioins
asked (Hopefully if not they really are just in it
for the little money they actually get)
hmmm...wonder if thatswhythey wont remove this
one... maybe its not a trial? anyways if they dont
remove this one then more and more people will

and most people use those citizenships to give
away to tourists that help them a lot or just to
run more bots off of or use as a privilege cit
that people log on to... if you cant find a use
for it then dont use it
the way they sell is fair did they TELL you you
DIDNT get a free cit? no did they say that you
did? YES its under products on their site-the same
place where it tells you about citizenships is at
if you dont want anyone replying to your post then

ok i think im starting to finally get at what
marcus is saying hes saying he did his homework
but he thinks that awcom should do a better job at
informing tourists? well they do NOT need to do
this heres why:
you ask ANY citizen and they will know
the GKs will tell you you get free cits from
worlds
tourists have to visit the home page SOMETIME and
they will see a products page and on it is
citizen pricing AND world pricing and info
so basically this info is EVERYWHERE on aw ecept
the register now button and if you dont do your
reasearch then it is YOUR FAULT and YOUR LOSS i
mean you yourself and EVERYONE here did their
research so why are you blabing on about it?
