More than a generalization, it's stupid. Why should it cause problems for
citizens to be an undetected tourist, and not for a tourist to be .. a tourist? As to say once you pay to be citizen you shouldn't be able to turn into a tourist is like saying once you bought a bus ticket you aren't allowed to change your mind and go walking.

Better than avatars, what would be cool is more enhanced actions on objects.
Nothing much new for a good while. Better "Animating" objects to make the environment more alive than it is. The time-related commands are either poor when it's about texture and animation (and pretty buggy), to null when it's about pics, sounds and signs. It's time... "time" becomes a true dimension here.

Otherwise I don't see any problem. It's up to everyone to follow it and participate or not. Maybe it's not informative, or constructive in the sense of some new tips and tricks or ideas for them. Nevertheless as you say there are individuals behind avatars. This is a ng about the community of users, not the community of avatars. Now it's clear with individuals we may expect and must accept it's not always as rational as we would like. But when today the avatars are "down", I'm glad to see the individuals aren't.

Yep. Like I prefer a good only-8-years-matured-Scotch than a
poor-15-years-old-one. Time is one thing. Speed of learning another. It's called cinetics. What I like in here, unless you are square enough so one of your very first questions is "how old?", is you have to make up your mind on what people say apart from the age you aren't supposed to know. And I can tell you there are very often big surprises. I kinda like what says cubic, and though I'm among the oldies (virtually and really). I'm not sure I was that wise at 14. Of course I don't agree on all. I do agree too you can't totally ignore experience. I guess Cubic's reaction is more about rigid position as opposed to rigid position of those who pretent to know the truth because of the past.. Kinda trying to balance things from one excess with another, but who is really guilty? See discussion about PKs' age limit. When adults reason as dumbs, they shouldn't be surprised to be called dumb. Even if it offends their adult self-satisfaction. The thing is experience (in this case how long have you been in AW) can't be ignored. We all progress from learning from the past, including Cubic. But what Cubic means, as far as I understand, is this doesn't give you (us, me) the right to say you know the truth because of that while he (she?) doesn't. But it still was and happened, so you can't ignore it. The interpretation maybe wrong but the experience is still there. Ignoring it, is pretending we have to learn everything again. Kinda Penelope's work. The plan of the tapestry may be nice but you never see it. [View Quote] > Experience?

Dont acte. 17 or 14, alas I'm now not sure to make the whole difference. It
doesn't change anything in my arguing, I think. Now don't take it as too personal. I could see in other posts you are able to be sensible. Just this "age=so" argument, full point, sounded to me a bit limited. But I understand there are moment we don't feel like arguing. That's the drawback of age.:) [View Quote] > Just for the record... i wasn't talking about cubic... he's 17.

Good point. Amazing how some want to copy/paste RL in here, just because that's
how it is in RL. Without giving a thought on could it be different. Such an imagination! The problem is here we have at the same time ppl from these different places with different rules and habits. That's the challenge. That's the purpose. If you can't stand your neighbour wears the "wrong" thing in here, why coming? Stay home. So, let me guess which habits and values some want to enforce in here in name of RL, saudi Arabian? Brazilian? Hmm... no, I think I have an idea.....

Well it's as "real" as the astart/ astop answer...and as you said, at least
it's funny.:) [View Quote] > you are VERY funny :( - come up with some REAL idea > [View Quote] Is there a way to stop a looping soundDec 15, 1998, 8:21pm
The question raised here isn't about making visible/invisible ON-OFF buttons though it's
a nice add-on, but about the alternative sequence of sound/no-sound as he reminded us again. It's in fact the problem of consecutive sequences of sound or noise commands as silence.wav is a wav like another one. I experienced the same problem having a back ground "create sound sound1.wav", an activate for some "sound sound2.wav" , and an activate to restore the background sound1. sound1 --> sound2 works. back to sound1 works, but then activating sound2 I can't hear it again. If I go away (no teleport) a bit under influence of other sounds and back, then I hear sound2 with clicking on it, like if the activate has been memorized waiting for some unblocking. But I can't go back to sound1. It seems there is a bug somewhere.

Why new? There always been from time to time some sycophants poping in ngs with
the same style and same arguments. The first who launched the fancy was JP himself posting under another name like if he was an ordinary user. But copy/paste old arguments is dangerous. While being a small company was an excuse at the beginning, two years after and when we are said the business is going very well, the # of users ever growing, one would wonder. If fact the company is even smaller than at the beginning. Yes, it's relevant to wonder how much $ COF has to operate with when they have only one programmer (for two at the beginning) .
