AWSome the new world from AW (at least to me it's new) "Must be 18 or under
to enter" yet you have to be 18 to be an AK.. meaning the AK's can't enter..
AW contradicted themselves in their own welcome message..

AWSome is an AWC-affiliated world, similar to AWTeen, I believe. :) It's not
AWC controlled as in Alphaworld or Mars, so it's the caretaker of the
world's contradiction, not AWC's. :)

Oh. In that case, it sounds like a rather reasonable contradiction. hehe.

No.. they said under 18 can enter only.. then the AK (Awesome Keeper) form
said the lowest age to become one is 18.. doesn't make sense.. they
contradicted themself..

In response to that I would probably put forward the explaination that AK's
are an unwritten exception, simply because were the AK's comprised of people
under 18, their effectiveness, temperment, and maturity levels would plunge
dramatically. They wouldnt' get anything done simply because they wouldn't
have the adult real world experience necessary to mediate disputes between
their peers. Or, worse yet, the younger an AK is, the more they are
incapable of setting aside personal grudges and vendettas when on the job.
This is one reason why the official organization, Peace Keepers, limits
their membership to legal adults only. I should know, I used to be a PK
Trainee. :)

Anyways, this whole post is a minor point in the grand scheme of things. I
don't think every exception to the rule needs to be spelled out in the
welcome message.

To be very Marcus-like, let me point out that that post was rather calm
sounding. To me at least. =)

There you go using someone to compare you or someone else to, please stop doing
that, LOL
Now the whole intention of the new AWSome world is to get the youngest of users
to go there because AWTeen doesn't seem to be a G rated world for those let's
say under the age of 13, but it is good they are welcoming those under the age
of 18, but I don't think they should be excluding anyone either. I spoke to one
of the AK's that works there and they don't seem to like alot of the rules being
put in place there, that may very well be one of them.
I understand the need for a place like this for AW's youngest citizens but if I
want to go in there I should not feel like I am going to be punished for doing
so, lol Many times when I am in AW I get people of ALL ages that come to me and
ask for my help, wether it be for bldg. or teaching or whatever the case may be.
I would hate to think I couldn't do that if someone asked for my help and I
needed to go there to help them or to simply talk to a friend at GZ that may
happen to be there, afterall I am 33, will be 34 Sept. 8th, lol
I think they should simply put that it is a world for young people and leave it
at that. The adult presence of course will always need to be there in case there
are any problems that arise it can be dealt with. But I don't think they should
be excluding people that may want to go and just visit the world to see it by
saying, 18 or under only are allowed in this world. It's just not right, lol
That would be like AWTeen trying to do the same thing, sheesh I wouldn't be able
to promote the AWTeen Cy Awards Party or anything, none of it would have been
possible if a rule like this was implemented. So I think they should reconsider
using such a blanketed apporoach to encourage our younger AW members to build
there.
There are adults in this community that very much have the concerns and cares to
what's going on with the young people and having safe places to go to, but don't
shut us out, we do have alot to offer and much to teach the young people just
starting out in AW.

and actually I think you took the message out of context, this is it in it's
entirety and no one is going to be ejected based on age.
Immigration Officer: Welcome to AWSome. A G rated world, You must be under 18,
young of heart, or accompanied by a child to enter. :-) To learn more about
AWSome check out............

That is so, however since the world has a prefix of AW it does somewhat represent them, perhaps they should pay more caution to whom
they allow to caretake their world's..
