Yeah, imagine, I am not even one of those that complained, none of us
'girls' did, we just up and moved on to another location....LOL just figured

that was bad enough LMAO he's no angel

What a great idea. Now that I was babied through the whole process and it
was patiently explained (tech I'm not heh), am pleased to be part of this
worthy project.

If patience is a virtue, you have a lot of virtue, Strike. Thanks for
helping me through it and for caring about our builds : ) .....sorry if I
broke your pretty page hehe....

Could the thumbnails beside the teleports (not sure what that is now) be
possibly screenshots of the builds if available? Would be nice to get a peek
at each target.

Good project Strike....hope to see it grow

Trivia at world Taurius

Because of my love of trivia I have decided to try something a little
different.

As of Midnight tonight VRT, I will be running a series of games....1001
questions per series not really sure how many series there will be, maybe
just the one. Visitors are welcome to drop by anytime this weekend to answer
as many questions as they can, revisiting anytime to accumulate further
points

As of this moment there is no prize other than a good pat on the back for
the victor. It is more of a test to see if anyone would even be interested
in such a game....if there is, maybe we can work something out in time.

sweets
world - Taurius

**please note is an adult world for adults only. Some questions may not be
appropriate for young users - thank you.

Feb 18, 2006, 3:29pm

well 12 hours of the 48 has passed....was planning to do this from friday
midnight to sunday midnight vrt....now I just don't know if worth it.

total visitors (playing or not) = 0
total questions answered = 0

Yes its an X world....yes its for adults....but all I am getting is nasty
comments. The questions are not X rated....the warning on the questions is
the warning that comes from the script program for the bot....xelagot....the
world is X but I am sick of people judging it to be smut or a cyber world. I
like to think it has class. A lot of work went into my world.

I did not do this to interfere with anyone else's parties or events. I did
it this way so people could drop by 'when they could' to add additional
points to their score. I was hoping it would give adults something extra to
do, other than cyber, bingo and teen events and maybe get them out exploring
and meeting new people. I was wrong, I failed

over the years I have seen the visitors dropping....we used to have a 10
limit and it used to be humming here but years ago we dropped it to 5 (even
with tourists) because the visitors just were not around anymore. Now?,
lucky if we can get one visitor for the whole weekend since AW made such a
taboo out of R and X worlds not being on the main world list for new users.
If it is so well hidden it must mean SEX. 'Good' citizens do not want to be
seen there, and the others want cybersex because THAT is what they expect a
taboo world to have.....must be bad if AW hides them so well.

Adult world is just exactly that...for adults...R or X....means we can say
what we feel.....build with less restriction (michelangelo, picasso, davinci
are considered porn here yet visited by school children al over the world).
We have always been X and had no problems with it, until aw decided not to
show us, or discuss us, or allow any word of us.

Cy awards also kicked in and denied X worlds any ability to receive
awards.....why? ....

I have been here a long time...Taurius has been here a long time...and I do
now think too long.

So to set things straight....Taurius is an X world.....it is not a place for
children. I do NOT allow cyber in my world. I expect people that come to
act like adults or they are forced to leave....and I do stress forced.

The game started off to a slow start but although still not too many people
know about it, the ones that have been coming these last 2 weekends have
seemed to really enjoy the games, rather than an empty silent world as they
explore.

They come in, they wander, throw answers, leave, come back, answer a few
more. Some just come in to grab a few quick points few times during the day
when they can manage a few minutes in their real lives to get in to play.
Some get their real life families to help them out (I love that heh)

I found that many of the questions were just too hard for the average joe,
making some people feel dumb rather than having a good time. I removed 1,000
such questions, leaving some hard and some easy (trying to be fair to all
IQ'S lol) and plan to add newer, easier questions and answers over time. I
want people to have fun, enjoy themselves, answer, argue, laugh....not feel
stupid.

So yes, I will be continuing the trivia games for anyone interested in
playing. The games will run every weekend from 12:01am Saturdays to 11:59pm
Sundays in world Taurius, approximately 4 games of 1,001 questions each, per
weekend (approx 12 hours each game). Players may leave and return to add
points to their score anytime during each game. Results for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
places are posted on a sign at GZ at the end of each game and will remain
posted for the week following.

My world only allows 5 visitors, so of course it is first come first serve.
Hop in when you can : )

I was sitting here thinking the same thing when I woke this morning. On Feb
25 I advised by the application form of trivia every weekend. In checking
the site I see it is not listed. Applications had to be in 'before' the 25th
of the month I find out now. Therefore I suppose the whole month of trivia
will not be shown, until next month. OK, I learned, it is the first time I
have ever tried to list any form of 'event' and now I know the 'rules'.

To me this seems a bit outdated, and not very useful for 'events' that
happen at AW. Many of them are pretty spontaneous. I am not a web site
builder, just a common builder of AW, but does it take a whole month to
update a site? Even I can do it faster (ok maybe not always correct
heh)....I can understand 48 hours maybe for notices, but plan a month in
advance? Most AW people cannot think that far in advance.

Maybe this kind of calendar works in real life, but here it is a bit
useless. We need something that shows 'instant events', thought of and
planned a bit last minute. It is not like AW has a zillion events being
thought up. We need every event that can be thought of to get some life back
in this place.

What is happening today? What bright idea or birthday does someone want to
celebrate. Somebody gets a new program and wants to hold a game to try it
out and gets it ready to go a few days later. How can that person get some
spark of interests in these dull times...wait a month? By then time has
moved on, fast in VR.

How about letting us have some form of access to list 'wazzup today'
events. What is on the calendar for the month, updated regularly (even once
a week makes more sense).....

AWEC is 2.2 trying to run in a 3.4 world that has a 3.6 mentality LOL and I
see no future for such a calendar in the
4.1 age, whenever that may be.....modernize or die.......I think it is time
for AW to find a NEW calendar representative and style - one that works in
our 'fast food society'

UPDATE:
Well April is here, calendar is out, and we are not listed.
GAME OVER!

Mar 15, 2006, 6:10pm

actually, Stacee, your explanation was the only one close enough to make
sense...,.Andras saying 'ignore the error' is just plain ridiculous

create name a,animate me clr_marb. 1 1 900,astart;adone texture clr_marb
name=a,astart a

this command needs some sort of animate
texture to make it all work and it does not really matter what that texture
is as long as it is in the path.

create animate me was the old way of doing the simple create texture we use
now, but seems to still be needed in the astart commands

Andras - NEVER IGNORE AN ERROR MESSAGE!!! shame on you

oh shuddup SWE....like ENZO doesn't have an evil enough sense of humour as

first....I don't believe it is coming
second....I don't believe it isn't coming
third...I do believe HE will get us one way or the other April 1st.

so one way, or the other, or the other, it will happen, whatever is or
isn't, that is going to happen or not happen, what will be or not be, and I
refused to be surprised

was not exactly my point....bad timing and insensitivity....not like they do
not read NG recently.

I have been to Sparkles, have they been to Taurius, even for a game that
supposedly interests them enough to hold and mention the DAY AFTER my event
is NOT on the calendar?

I know this is not my game or an original though. but I also know that what
was done was both insensitive and uncaring to any feelings I may have had
about anything to do with AW....

This seems to be a handy little tool. I have not installed it yet as I do
have a few reservations.

By Login information, I presume you mean our cit names and password. I
really do not like giving my password to anyone that is not affiliated with
AW.

I do not think you could prove to me that you could not and do not have
access to the password I type into that file.

I will be keeping an eye on this though for comments as it does seem like a
good tool. Thought of offering it to aw?

I would just be happy if they fixed the messed up contact lists....wait for
4.1? Hell, I am still waiting for 3.6 to work right.....I do think our
contact lists, should be top priority.

I tend to worry more about what I am paying for now than what I may or may
not have to pay for later

sweets

Apr 24, 2006, 1:13pm

it does not refresh itself right....for about a year now. People go offline
and checkmarks remain...people come online and no checkmark
appears....terribly annoying

This I first reported to chrispeg when it first started happening and was
not believed. Until a GK also noticed it, then I was believed and informed
there would be an update to fix it.

The update came and went. When I advised chrispeg that it had not worked and
that the contact lists were still not refreshing, I was ignored again.. And
many many months later, it is still broken.

Manual refreshing helps (Login) but it is not exactly what we are paying
for. I like to know who is online or offline when it happens, not after the
fact.

And no, I am NOT the only one with this problem. Many of us have complained
to no use, seems their 4.1 is more important than fixing the big problem of
3.6

wow I had just said that to my friend couple weeks ago....been a long time
since I bothered with screensavers but recently loaded some in because I
noticed that there is now a ghost image of the AW area where you type for
chat on this new monitor....

my monitor is on 24 hrs/day and usually aw is open in front. Mine is a KDS
17 inch. The two 11 inches I had were both over 10 yrs old before they would
get like this one has gotten in 2 years.....maybe the 17 inches? Is it
possible they burn faster the larger they are?

1. My brother was a geek always dragging me to his boring computer to see
some boring web page whenever I visited. Fed up, one day, I told him was
boring shit and why could he not find something cool like three dimensions
like on tv....challenged he surfed for three dimensional and found AW. Next
visit I saw it, and fell in love, while he gloated over his not so boring
computer. There were no cits or tourists then but not sure what year that
actually was...I seem to remember doing cartwheels in brazil heh...

2, took years before I allowed a computer in my house but each visit to my
brother's I asked to see that active world. Fear of technology LOL. When I
got my first computer, first program in was AW ...for about a year was all I
had LOL....(my brother groaned and called it a 2,000$ AW Machine, which it
still is as I still hate surfing LOL) I became excellent at destroying
tourist properties, or garbage, and was content as tourist for years. I
became a cit because a friend opened a world for a gang of us to build. I
went off alone tried to build at yellow, adored it, got my cit that day so I
could build at tonycat world....

3. I have been a cit since june 2000 and have 1,181 days logged on my main
cit.

4. best feature has to be the building.

5. I have created worlds, objects, dreams and nightmares LOL (oh yeah....and
huge lag)

6. Building is the top activity, meeting people and finding good friends is
next. I have been lucky to be able to travel a few times to meet many of the
people here one on one. Once I travelled 48,000 km, all of canada and 48 usa
states and met 20 people that time at their homes. It took 4 months of
driving and living in a van with a dog and cat, but I will never forget the
experiences and people I have met in activeworlds. It opened the world to me
that I really did not know existed more than picturebooks LOL.....

Thank you "that active world"
