Years ago when I was a wee virtual lad I remember a place called 'awuniv2'
where they had a monthly building contest and the winner would get a year
extension, it was all professionally done and was alot of fun, they
cancelled it and then a couple years later, or last august, they came out
with 'awcontest' which was sponsored by aw and didn't even see the end of
its first contest, it is kind of depressing, and I am not sure why they took
these away (other than the wide assumption of price hikes) because I myself
and I know alot of others enjoy the spirit of 'controlled' competition and
would really like to see a place where they had something offiicial and
monthly or something, all we currently have is small private contests that
dont allow everyone to join due to prejudice. I would love to see something
official much like awuniv2 once was. It would challenge people to wanna
build more. What are your guys thoughts on this?

I'm in the process of talking to MM about getting it back, so don't you
worry....

Infinity + 1 = infinity
infinity + 932.53 = infinity
infinity * 62 = infinity
infinity - 100000 = infinity
infinity / 5 = infinity

Isn't that nifty? :)

There is a concept of larger and smaller infinities. Makes sense when you
think about it.

yup theres a running theory im working on out of boredom during mathematics
class.

if you have a 3 with a line over it (3 repeating) it means 3 forever, but
what if you wrote 3 repeating then a 4 after it that means 3 goes on forever
but at the end of it it carries along a 4, so that this 4 is carried by the
3 but is according to mathematics impossible and non existent, so what if I
wanted to have 3(rep) 4 that means 3...4 right heh heh.

might be used to figure something out don't know what

All you're going to figure out is that there is no lexicographical method
that can capture reality.

It sounds like you all might enjoy reading a book called "Godel, Escher,
Bach"
by someone named Douglas R. Hoffstader. He was the puzzle editor of
Scientific American for many years, and a mathematics professor.

Actually, compared to other entrants your CY build wasnt too great. people
only voted for you because you posted a fake pic of apparently of you (a hot
chick to the horny guys out there) all over the dang place. And no, im not
jealous, i didnt even enter the CYs that year, I hardly ever do, but the
things you do to win contests aka stealing cits-its stupid and obsessive.

Welll.. it's not fiction... it's pretty dry.. but very thought provoking.

Find some reviews first.

Yeah, I was reading GEB:EGB over the summer... let me tell you, that was one
spectacular book. Very thought provoking, sometimes a struggle (I skipped
the chapter on molecular biology... the theoretical programming was more
interesting) but overall quite fun. It also makes the second Matrix movie
make a lot more sense ;)

This is off-topic, but I wouldn't call Uncle Enzo one of the bad guys in
Snow Crash. He is really more on Hiro & Co.'s side. I need to read that
book again sometime.

For a long time after I read it I couldn't help making self referential
statements such as "For a long time after I read it I couldn't help making

Seiya thoroughly deserved the Cy Award for the build - I have no
reservations about considering Seiya builds in Alpha the best there are and
that he is the best builder in Alpha world.

You obviously have not seen the true artists in AW then. All of seiyas
builds look alike, and its CY award entry was similar to something Ive seen
tourists build before.

AS...

Do you have some co-ords of your favorite Alpha builds? I always love
exploring good works.

I hardly build in alpha. The lighting, quite honestly, sucks, and is
terrible for building under an artistic point of view.

AS

You criticised Seiyas build suggesting it was undeserving of the Cy it won.
It won as the best build in a public world - building in which as you say
"sucks". I would like to see what you consider is a better build in a
public world.

If you can't give something better, then I would suggest you owe Seiya an
apology.

I'd say that AS doesn't owe Seiya anything.

If anyone owes someone an apology, its seiya, and it goes to the entire
community. But youre too blind to see that or comprehend it. Peoples actions
have consequences. I have lost all respect for that "thing" for lack of a
better term. It has lied to everyone, been a conniving person to everyone,
stolen peoples citizenships for its own benefit, harassed people for no
reason, the list goes on. Go ahead and worship its builds. I see artwork
with no emotion as crap. I see artwork made by a cold hearted mean person,
as crap. If you respect someone based soley on their building, then youre a
sad judge of character. I see no talent in "its" work, I see nothing more
than a competive jerk gone too far to fuel its ego. Youre judging Seiya on
its building reputation, which it obtained by hurting numerous people. There
are MANY other good builders in AW, far better than seiya, who go
unrecognized. why? because they actually play by the rules. As for better
building worlds, there are tons, you just have to look for them. I build in
worlds with the standard AW OP, the only difference is the climate usually.
