2+ years ago, a good friend, linuxman - left AW... He came back, a few
months ago - and I talked to him, for maybe 5 minutes... A week later- he
sets his account to not accept telegrams, joins, etc... So Now I have no way
to contact him - BUT I know he builds in 'AW'... Is there a bot, that still
works, that can go thru the ENTIRE world (minus GZ (100x100)) Searching for
his land? I could really use it... I don't care if I have to run it for a
week....

Brant's AW Utlity does this. http://www.shoemakervillage.org/awutility.html

If he has set his account to not accept telegrams and joins most likely he
doesn't want to be found, don't you think it's a bit rude to try to override
his privacy settings with a bot?

Agreed,

While I use such bots for reconesance for security reasons quite allot, I
make it a point that if someone has made efforts not to be distrubed unless
it is a matter of security I will not contact them, the only exception you
should make to trying too reach this user other than just email etc, is when
there is a matter of security that needs dealing with. Im not sure that
quallifies as being security for what your after him for :)

Xelagot will do this, but to scan a world the size of AW you will be there
for awhile.

Well, that program wasn't designed to be used in AlphaWorld. By the time
the bots reach the area the person is at, he or she would already have moved
on to somewhere else, perhaps where the bots have already registered nobody
being.

If you have a lot of disk space and months to search, you can create a
propdump of the world and look for his property, then place a bot there and
see if he shows up. If you had his E-Mail address, it would be much simpler
:)

Keep in mind that you might be able to find him, but he could have you
"muted on sight." If that's the case, then you'll never be able to contact
him.

Try contacting imabots.com... they have a service that searches the whole
world for objects in a certain citizen number (yours), maybe they could
extend it to others.
