Hello everyone... Some of you out there know me and I'm sure many
don't. I've been a citizen in AW for going on 4 years now and in my
time here I've modeled a bunch of objects and avatars, owned a bunch of
worlds and generally made a nuisance of myself in as many circles as I
could find. My worlds have ranged from sci-fi to pagan themes with
minimal participation at best. In my quest to crack that nut and put
forth a group of worlds where interest continues after the initial build
I've decided to, again, change gears and implement a new and hopefully
exciting idea surrounding my worlds. Soooo, here's my pitch:

I'm looking for folks that are bored with their current activity in AW
who are creative and willing to join up for the long haul. I have 3
worlds (online 24/7) and I'm creating a "role playing environment" which
links all three worlds together in the same "space" yet all three are
different in inhabitants and terrain. This RPE will be set in a distant
galaxy with no association (unless coincidental) to earth history. Each
world will have its own culture, religion, history, government etc and
my intent here is to hand over caretaker status to the leaders of two of
the worlds. I will retain the leadership on my home world with at least
one assistant, and I would like at least the same on the remaining two
worlds. Each world leadership will be responsible for maintaining
continuity in the RPE as well as maintaining the general operation on
the world.
With the latest issue in these newsgroups surrounding world
ownership/copyrights etc, I want to lay out the ground rules up front.
Anything created for one of the worlds will remain with that world as
long as that world remains "in costume" regarding this RPE. The creator
of the thing (model, avatar, texture, etc) retains ownership but will
not use or distribute the thing to or on another world unless the RPE
ends. If the RPE ends then any thing not created by me or obtained
through the network of model makers which is used for this RPE will be
deleted from the object paths and backups, and will not be used on any
of my worlds again unless permision is granted from the maker.
I call this a role playing environment since I don't see it as a
game. I see this as having a common interest in being "in costume"
while in AW but having the freedom to go your own direction as long as
it fits within the continuity of the environment ( eg, I dont' want
snowmen on a desert world). My idea here is that each world is
independently governed with the inhabitants having voting rights on its
development. In turn, the world leaders will meet occationally to
insure that the worlds are properly maintained.
Here are the people I'm looking for: non-world owners (you already
have your hands full with your own projects), model/avatar makers,
texture makers, folks that are handy creating web pages, and above all,
folks are are willing to be dedicated to this project and its future.
Now, for you world owners out there that think this might be of
interest. In my current writings surrounding this RPE I've grouped and
named 36 stars, some binary systems, in our cluster with 28 inhabitable
planets. It would cost me a small fortune to finance all 28 planets.
There is plenty of room to include your world in this RPE if your
current theme seems boring or if you want to try something different.
The only stipulation is that you have a world name fitting to this RPE
since "Bubbaland" just doesn't lend itself well to the "feel" of this
environment.
I know that this all might seem a bit cloudy right now and I
apologize, but I'm working fast and hard on getting all the details down
on paper so there is a solid base to build from. My goal is to create
and maintain a website with a complete definition of what this RPE is
all about; a reference area to aid in keeping consistancy and a place
for new people to learn the ins and outs.
Please contact me by email if you are interested in signing up for
this new project and thank you for reading this post to the end.
