Hi all, as owner of A!!CT and it's associated worlds, I am putting out an
all points bulletin that I am looking for AW citizen volunteers to help out
and become a part of a growing community.
A!!CT World has been renewed and soon will be upgrading from a P-100 to a
P-130, the user limit will be 100 users.
I am looking for mature adults to be head of my world's PK and GK programs,
you will pretty much be acting on your own most of the time. You will be in
charge of organizing and establishing the program and keeping track of who
is screened and who is accepted into the programs.
I am also looking for people to help as building teachers.
I am also looking for serious people with bot knowlege, to maintain a
current bot infomation center, one that contains links to all available bot
downloads.
I am interested in someone who has the ability to build bots and has strong
knowlege of C++ and visual basic programming.
I am also looking for serious people to help maintain A!!CT's personal
object yards. This involves co-ordinating objects into catergories and
organizing things to make them user friendly.
I am also interested in having someone on board who is great with textures,
space will be provided for a textures yard.
Let's face it folks A!!CT is here to stay, why not be a part of a growing
world that tries hard to bring new members into AW by pampering them?
Intrested? or need more info? Contact MrBruce or email me at
A1CTworld at aol.com or MrBruce at A1CTWorld.com today for a better AW tomorrow.

Sounds great - I'm glad to hear that the world is expanding. I just thought
I'd make one point, though, and that's that there are many mature people of
all ages who are part of Activeworlds. By limiting yourself to hiring
adults only, you could be ostricizing many people who are just as mature but
might be a little younger. Some of the younger people might even have more
time and knowledge to assist you in your goals.

In my experience, age doesn't determine whether a citizen will do a great
job or not. What matters more is whether he or she will stick through to
see that the job gets done :)

From the Newbie's guide to the AW newsgroups:

"Brant - Former Caretaker of AWTeen, he's apparently decided to trade the
hassle of dealing with immature teens to dealing with immature posters
in the NGs. Sounds to me like he got ripped off on that trade."

Well he seemed he was just giving his definition of maturity. If you want
to stick yourself and other people into that catagory them feel free.

I was refering to I want a mature adult to handle the PK and GK programs. My
experience with the last program was everyone wanted to be a PK leader but
once they were elected, they were hardly on line or available because Mommy
took thier PC rights away from them for getting a B- in school. Sorry I
didn't mean that to defend anyone, but electing a kid who is still in school
is not a good idea.
An Adult does not have to answer to anyone but them selves. The other jobs
are open to trust worthly indiviguals of any age above 13.

An identity claiming to be known as mrbruce scribed the following news:3de66b05$1 at server1.Activeworlds.com :

> A!!CT World has been renewed and soon will be upgrading from a P-100 to a
> P-130, the user limit will be 100 users.

You won't reach the 100 limit. Might I suggest dropping it to around 30 users and making the world bigger, it will save you much money.

AWI will gladly raise your world limit to 100 (even 200) when you run major events for the community.

indeed -- bruce, it's rare for alphaworld to exceed 50-60 users...it's not
exactly necessary for a privately owned world to have such a limit, and as
anduin said, they'd most likely raise it for you if you needed it for
something. Anyway, instead of wasting your money(or fenix's) and raising
the user limit to 100, spend the extra thousand dollars for another
100coords of building space, or less so you don't end up coming out and
telling everyone that a!!ct is closing, and then of course it isn't...

Well what i think maki is you see. Bruce himself is probally one of AW's
highest sources of income, i mean his one world then a bunch of smaller
medium sized ones and a few cits, what i think is they may be giving him the
world user raise as a perk. But it's just a guess ;)
I bet they give him tons of perks, I mean wouldn't you if someone shoved
like 2 thousand dollars in your pocket :)

It was the wise words of many who convinced me to hang in there, I did not
realize at the time of my post that my world meant that much to people, but
one such person named FeNiX proved that loud and clear! :) I can not say who
or why on the user limit, but I am only paying for the building limit, not
the user limit.

LOL well keep in mind we have also successsfully brought in over 278 new
citizens this year (that I am actually aware of) there may be others who
joined thanks to my world, but if they did, they never told me they were
influenced by my world to sign up. I personally drag alot of people in from
other chat programs, ICQ, AOL, MSN, prodigy and a few EA gaming rooms.
I have tried other Unies, but I have faced ejections at the mere mention of
AW universe :)
That's why my world is so full of tourists all the time, if we all did this
(helped promote AW), we'd see more new features added more often.
Although I do admit 3 out of 5 buy a cit, but if we all worked together, we
could see AW world's GZ back up to the old 30 people again :)

That seems to be a very medieval attitude. I'm not offended by anything you
said personally (afterall, why would i be offended by something thats not
true) but some people probably were. Yes, younger people do have certain
commitments that may take their time on the computer away - but adults do
to.

Most adult jobs will take up more time than school hours for teens, plus
there is so much else to deal with.

My point is, open things up for everyone and anyone - it doesent mean
they'll automatically get the job, most people are a good enough judge of
character to determine whether or not people will be able to put enough time
in and work hard enough. Of course everyone will have slow times, i am
halfway through a break from my work for AWTeen due to my exams - but its
only temporary.

If something doesent work out even after you have gone through the
selection process, you get rid of them, we all make staffing mistakes. But
the way you are doing just sounds like prejudice to most people and
stereotyping groups. Some of the best people were greatest when they were
young, Mozart for example. Think about it. I don't care much what you
choose, its your decision and i'm not going to influence it further than
this post but i'd like to know your decision.

I'm not good with History, but weren't people generally already considered to have been adults for at least a few years by the time they reached the age of 13, back in medieval times?

Well I am not trying to discriminate against anyone, but as many of you do
not realize that most of the former Pks in my world were origionally kids
and I was widely criticsized for that and reminded often of the age
requirement of the Pks in the AW owned worlds.
I have nothing against kids being a PK or GK, But I am at least looking for
an adult leader.
Like the boy scouts or girl scouts have adults as leaders. I did not think
my post would be looked upon as me being for one age group or the other. I
was just saying that I would like an adult to be the over see-er of the
program.

Well i'd also consider the AW rules to be wrong but I think they are there
for some legal reason. People below the age of 18 can't be bound by
contracts or something like that.

Excerpt from the Newbies Guide to the Newsgroups; 4th Edition:::::

MrBruce - <snip> This one still needs to learn the basic rule of
success here in AW: Don't listen to anyone but yourself.


Do what "YOU" think is best for your worlds, Mr. Bruce... It's really the
only way to go... :o)

It's also a very economical attitude.
