Tommorow, the largest event in the history of AWTeen will take place.

I've been havily involved with the development of this event. From the
creation of custom objects to bots and textures. Not only would I like to
tell you about how great tommorow is, I'd like to confirm a few things.

As some of you may know, the recent work submitted by NoMad 1 was rejected
by the AWTeen Core to be used in conjuction with Thor 2. At Generations Day
tommorow I will be giving a Demo of Nox, my new Day/Night Cycle bot using a
ingenuitive skybox which utilises masking to create a sky of any colour you
could desire. With that I have created a simple RGB transition bot that, if
approved by the Core could be elaborated to create Thor 2.

This brings the total number of major events at Gens Day tommorow back up to
three (as the previous Thor 2 showing was cancelled with when NoMads work
was turned down.) For anyone who is even contemplating now going heres
several reasons why you HAVE to be there.

1. The new AWTeen public terrain managment system, Demeter will be unveiled
in AWTeen. The latest of Brants creations; it will make AWTeen the number
one place to build in, anyone regardless of rights will be create to create
sprawling mountain ranges or cavernous valleys using a modular set of
textures I created allowing you to seamlessly blend grass, dirt, mud or snow
into your terrain.

2. My Bot Nox will be shown, as explained above, the new bot will boast the
same features as Thor but using a special Skybox to allow smooth transitions
between times of the day without huge downloads.

3. The new AWTeen Caretaker will be announced. Much speculation as to the
new Caaretaker has been rife throughout the AWTeen Community. Finally the
new caretaker will be announced by Brant who will lead AWTeen into the next
generation (thus the name of the event).

4. Strike Rapier will be giving an exclusive fireworks show with his amazing
bot, (seriously, it is exellent) which uses coronas to create realistic
fireworks sequences, this is how we will end the event to go down in AWTeen
History.

It all begins tommorow (Thurday) at 1PM VRT, this may seem a strange time,
but believe me; this is an event worth staying in for. The AWTeen Core,
Myself, Brant and many others have been working hard to make tommorow a huge
success and we invite YOU no matter who you are to come and celebrate the
success of AWTeen and its community and welcome the new Generation for
Active World's second, if not the largest community. Be there.

Even if you aren't a part of the community, it will be a great event to
see :-D Truly an event to go down.. If the first time Thor was shown, was
thought of as impressive... then Robbie's stuff will be amazing, heh. Also,
Demeter, and Strike's bots will be a great show. :)

See ya at 1pm VRT

I will probally be there, making insults about the new caretaker and saying
how they have a lot to live up to like the past caretakers did and i'll
probally tell them keys to success in being a caretaker and lecture them and
alot of stuff until they get so annoyed they falsely leave or falsely go afk
or something :)

I'd like to thank everyone who attended Generations Day. I'm not saying
this because I organized it, but this event was one of the most amazing
festivities I've ever witnessed, and many who were at the event would say
the same thing.

For those who weren't there, first, we demonstrated some possibilities for
Thor, AWTeen's weather simulator. Then, we introduced some new objects for
AWTeen. After that, Demeter was enabled. Finally, Chanty and Poseidon were
announced as taking over after me.

But as they say, life is what happens when the best laid plans go awry. I'm
not saying that in a bad sense, but that's what happened. Nobody had
counted on four AW staff members showing up and lending their support (thank
you Mountain Myst, Stacee, and Calpentera)! Lucrezia Borgia, the person who
created AWTeen and was responsible for a lot of AW's projects, also dropped
by, and ENZO himself came in to share a few words with the community, 85 of
whom were in attendance at the time. Not only that, but he floored everyone
when he enabled tourists in AWTeen in response to the letter that was sent
to him (http://www.shoemakervillage.org/ricknoll.doc). Let it go on the
record that the first tourist to enter was none other than "Mauz", who said
"yay!" in response to the announcement - lol.

For those that are interested, I posted a chat log at
www.shoemakervillage.org/chat24.txt. This chat log was made by Eric, and he
didn't remove the whispers from it, so it should be interesting reading, to
say the least. (I would post my whisper-free log, but it would require too
much work to remove all the IP addresses.) I wanted to make a post here
because I want to personally thank everyone who made this incredible day
possible. Demeter is now available and tourists are now enabled for those
who want to visit. I thought I'd copy the chat log because E N Z O said a
few interesting things about upcoming Activeworlds Corp. projects that
people here who were not in attendance would be interested in - feel free to
look it over if you're interested :)

Congrats for AWTeen!

I don't suppose you can edit the ricknoll doc for just the highlights and
post them here?

Regards, Justin

Not sure what happened, but it seems to be working fine now, both in IE
and Netscape. Perhaps the MySQL server was experiencing some problems...
