**********************************

Industrial Building Contest
This year's theme in Industrial. Like previous years, SW City likes to pick
unique themes instead something like residential, which has been done time
and time again. As industrial is a rarely used theme throughout AW, the
experience field should be pretty level. Players will pick a lot in Hyokia
Industrial Sector.

For players who have no idea how to build industry in AW, they are
encouraged to explore the nearby industrial areas, as well as teleports to
other industrial sectors in SW City. Judging and specific rules can be
found at the site itself.

Starts at: March 20th, 9:00 PM VRT
Ends at: April 2nd, 10:15 PM VRT

Not anymore :D

Ahhhh at ctrl+enter sending the message prematuraly. Been using that to make
new lines all night in another program :P

Anyway, not anymore. Texture controlling obejects (objects that texture
whole builds) = source of heavy lag. We just added some delay on the ones
that didn't have a delay, and modified the rest. Can run through there now
at 150+ vis.

Just hope people sign up. Been sprucing up this area big time :O
Last time we tried Industrial, nobody signed up, opting for the residential
contest instead (since we had two). More people should try industrial.
It's so much fun once you get into it >_<
