I wish aw would have a World Spotlight of the Week,where every week they'd
find a cool world and then put its name and owner on the greeting message in gateway and AlphaWorld,that way people would get their worlds their fare share of world traffic! ormondt@cvwrf.state.ut.us (the wanderer)Mar 25, 2000, 11:13pm

Moria oversaw this, but that is another story for another day. AWEC then took up the torch and now I believe that Bille heads a community spotlight effort on AWEC's behalf. If I remember correctly, the emphasis was to be on Alpha World communities, individual worlds, and RL cultures (basically any community basis that was submitted); however, I am not positive how that is actually implemented now. Another ear you might want to tickle with this is Lucrezia Borgia. Without going into too much detail, let me tell you a little history from the secret chronicles of AW. There have always been and will always be factions within the AW community. Lucrezia and a small number of other citizens formed a quiet little group which had one purpose: The preservation of the AW Community and hopefully the reconcilliation of the many factions of that community. Out of that group seeds were planted that grew to be AWEC, AWHS, AWUNIV, the Cy Awards and many other institutions and groups. Unfortunately the reconcilliation was more difficult than first believed and the pressures too great. Many of that small group appear to have faded into the masses or become homeless wanderers in AW because of those pressures. Only one had the courage to continue that work not only in private but within public view. Has it been an easy road for her? No, trust given has been intentionally and accidentally betrayed. Hate has been the least of the vile things thrown her way. How much of that did she, does she deserve? Very little if any, but such is the price of fighting for a cause. You are a great woman Lu, and all in all you've done well. Thank you. -- The Wanderer trormond at inet-1.com.dont Remove the dot dont after com to reply by email billeMar 31, 2000, 9:49pm
If there was such a "World Spotlight of the Week" it would take more than 13
years to get through the list of worlds, are you that patient?:) [View Quote] > I wish aw would have a World Spotlight of the Week,where every week they'd > find a cool world and then put its name and owner on the greeting message in > gateway and AlphaWorld,that way people would get their worlds their fare > share of world traffic! modrd yApr 2, 2000, 8:31pm
Maybe you didnt read,but only the really good and imagintive worlds would be
spotlighted,not these cheap worlds that anyone could build in AlphaWorld,someone would go world hopping,find a really cool world that deserves to be noticed,and enter it,it prolly wouldnt take much... [View Quote] billeApr 3, 2000, 10:35pm
Sure, I got the point, and I support any "of the week" promotion, since it will
make ppl aware of locations they might not have found in other ways. Btw; anyone who like visitors to their world (or town for that sake), should make sure to order a "booth" for their community in AW Community Register's new register. To get accepted your community must be listed on the AW ComReg web register. There might be focused on a monthly community as well:).But ppl will have to leave AW Gate and AW GZ to figure out... :) Bille [View Quote] > Maybe you didnt read,but only the really good and imagintive worlds would be > spotlighted,not these cheap worlds that anyone could build in > AlphaWorld,someone would go world hopping,find a really cool world that > deserves to be noticed,and enter it,it prolly wouldnt take much...
