Hi, as some of you are aware I have been building Ancient Rome (circa 100bc
thru 200ad) The Forum area is now complete and only a few major builds are
left. (Colosseum, Pantheon, Virgins Temple, ect) I presently have thousands
of objects that are specifically for building ancient builds and would like
to invite anyone interested in Ancient Rome to participate. The only
restrictions will be no modern buildings such as glass houses floating in
the sky. For those who would like to build in an ancient innercity type area
that is possible also. If you would like to participate in VR Rome you can
do so by downloading
http://host.activeworlds.com/america/web/newfoundland.exe
You can leave me a message via tg or rgurkin at earthlink.net

Well rossyboy if you think I am using this venue to set up an elaborate
scheme to introduce a virus into your computer I would suggest that you stay
away. Don't download it. Then you will be perfectly safe. And Strike
Rapier...if its too much trouble for you, just simply don't bother. I sure
your presence will be sorely missed, but at least now you won't lose any
time from the ng. By all means...stay here. Jet

One last thing Strike. You need to read the rules and regs of this ng again.
Talking about and keeping up to date on ALL the galaxies and universes
derived from AW is permissible in here. Yes, I can make posts regarding my
Galaxy. Yes, I can let others know that it is open for building. Yes, I can
give updates on events and models and upgrades. I don't break the rules.
BTW I have no bugs in my galaxy. I have passed on the last few upgrades so
it will be the same in appearance as AW was a couple of years ago. When the
bugs are out I may consider upgrading then. "strike rapier"

OMGZ how could I think a .exe file would carry a virus?

It's usually trojan horses that they carry, not viruses :¬P

Plus I don't know Jetta.

You don't know Jetta Lewis? He was one of the regular posters in this
newsgroup from time to time so I find it hard to believe that you don't know
him. He was also a prominent citizen in Active Worlds, having founded the
America world, many of the worlds based on individual worlds like Utah (Eep
has earlier mentioned it in his website about it since he was offered to run
it but it somehow closed for some reason), and finally a few universes such
as America. Jetta Lewis was a quite busy person in the Active Worlds and its
related stuffs. Jetta Lewis was therefore a prominent citizen who is known
by masses of the Active Worlds. Besides, he has been here for the long time
so I find it hard to believe you have failed to have known him. He is one of
the finest public citizen in the Active Worlds. In fact, Activeworlds Inc.
has already agreed to take over the America world if anything happened to
Jetta Lewis (as was mentioned in earlier post in the newsgroup but it
unfortunately had bad reception, leading to flame wars). As the flame wars
went on after the earlier post about Activeworlds Inc. agreement with Jetta
Lewis, with the misunderstanding as the main cause of the flame wars, I
already understood quickly after reading that post that an agreement was
done, opposite of what flamers claimed. Now, I have encountered a pathetic
reply to Jetta Lewis's post announcing the VR Rome. Rossyboy, I think you
really know Jetta Lewis. He is hard to miss these days on this newsgroups or
any of media. He is a prominent citizen, after all. But for now, I'm done
with my writing on this subject. I have other business to attends to, among
them being running a town network, being too busy to deal with this matter.
I'll leave this matter to you and Jetta Lewis. Anyway, have a good evening.

Bravo Legion. I'd say that Jetta would easily place in the top 10 on the
ActiveWorlds Famous 500 list.

Well said! He is a long time well known respected citizen for years.almost
since aw first started.

It's host.activeworlds.com, so any OP user can upload to it.

I wasn't aware he was advertising a different galaxy/universe though.

Gosh, I'm almost embarressed at all the nice things said. Thanks guys and
gals.
Regarding Rome, I honestly don't know if it will work or not. All of you
know of the dozens (if not hundreds) of dead communities in AW. They come
into being and get busy for awhile and then just die out. Possibly, the same
will happen with VR Rome. I'm not going to lie about it.... I had hoped to
attract some school groups or some of the ppl posting on the MB of some of
the major Ancient Rome sites and it's just not happening. Most of these ppl
are not familiar with VR and don't know what to do when they are in here. No
building skills, all just total newbys. I gave up teaching after I started
AWSchool and have no desire to teach casual visitors how to "walk and fly"
So, I'm opening building to those who like to build. (Not necessairly a
community) and would like to try another type of build that requires actual
building skills. VR Rome has some of the most unique building objects in all
of VR and nearly any kind of ancient build is possible. You are welcome to
visit and ck it out. There is an OY and the object list from America will
work there. Shown on the net are tons of ancient homes and public places,
with plans, so "inspiration" shouldn't be that hard to come by. With
models from different eras ranging from 2,000bc thru the middle ages and on
up to date it isn't impossible to find just the right model to complete a
project. Anyway, the invitation is there and its free. I don't think you
will get a better offer anytime this year. BTW, if you would rather not
leave AW to build ,and possiby get a trojan or virus:) most of these models
are in America also and I would be willing to set up a Roman Build area
there. (See, I'm not impossible to get along with) If you ever really took a
long hard look at some of the most fantastic villas and temples that these
ppl were capable of, you would realize why it facinates me so. The building
tecniques they developed then are still being used as the very basic
building blocks of our cities of today.

Yep and Roman actually invented both concrete and cement but they were both
lost after Rome was sacked, so it took long time to rediscover these
inventions that Roman has invented over thousand years ago.
