Smoke Signals to Jetta, Gina, Eric and anyone else interested in America (Community)
Smoke Signals to Jetta, Gina, Eric and anyone else interested in America // CommunitysyliJun 3, 2001, 1:21pm
Dear Jetta, Gina, Eric, Anyone with Interest in America:
I'm sure you have all seen the movie Dances With Wolves. For awhile now I, and a few others, have been been able to closely relate to that soldier left at his American post believing in the beginning that his loyalty and effort to America was for a good reason only to realize that apparently we have been abandoned by the powers that be. I should also say that my loyalty and effort, although great qualities, truly spring out of my own selfish desire to have fun with my friends and enjoy myself. Because of that I have always been a diehard protector of America refusing to spend much time anywhere else. In the last several months it has been increasingly more difficult, not only to perform our roles as CA's and AB's, but also to be just an ordinary citizen or tourist visiting America. At least 3 times in the last 3 months the object path has been down for a length of time not customarily viewed as reasonable, but for days and weeks at a time. The first time this happened was just after the birth of Juno dome and America profited from the overflo of those folks. The house was packed nearly all the time with people having serious fun. We lost a lot of new people during the first down time episode which lasted nearly 2 and a half weeks. But there were still the regulars...Then it happened approx a month ago..Each time losing more and more. And not only do we lose any potential new person on contact, but all the regular supporters of America have dwindled to nothing out of frustration. America has been declared dead in the newsgroups. That really pissed me off and I decided to make it a project to build up the population as best I could. I spent nearly all of my time doing damage control for America trying to put a positive spin on all the "why can't I load?" "Where has everyone gone?" type questions, remaining eternally hopeful that this is just an obstacle we can get past and get on with the business of having fun. Now I see the OP is down AGAIN and I realize I am simply a Welcome Wagon Lady for Triangle World...AGAIN. There is no point in fighting this any longer. Jetta, Gina and Eric - wherever you are - I am here to tell you America is a dust bowl. I believe I am the last hold out who has not taken on interests in other worlds. There is no one manning the post, save for an occasional pit stop here and there by some concerned CA or AB willing to eat, breathe and fart triangles. I don't know what your intention is for America..if its nothing.. than I would like to sincerely thank you for several years of some of the best fun I've ever had and I appreciate the time you have given America to us. If you do plan on doing something about Wild America that includes more consistent communication between the ownership and the people being asked to help provide support ...you know how to reach me. For now, Im going up the road to find a new reservation to dance on and I'm taking my coffee rations with me. -- ~Syli~ internal affairsJun 3, 2001, 4:54pm
What are you talking about? I saw Dances With Wolves but I don't remember
seeing Jetta, Gina, Eric, or even anyone that has to do with America in it. goober kingJun 3, 2001, 6:10pm
It's called an "analogy", dimwit. Granted, not a very good one, but an
analogy nonetheless. [View Quote] -- Goober King You can actually here the IQ dropping in here! rar1 at acsu.buffalo.edu chucks partyJun 3, 2001, 9:36pm
Well said syli, it's too bad they don't have the enthusiasm you do about
their world, doesn't even sound like they even stop in to see how you all are doing or even a simple thankyou or explaination. Happy trails to you, wherever it may go :) linnJun 3, 2001, 11:46pm

than in AW, newsgroups, etc. [View Quote] I'm sure you have all seen the movie Dances With Wolves.

I suppose you would have needed to be involved in America to know whether it
was a truly good analogy or not....but then i didn't expect to would make it past you professional flamers entirely, now did I. I'm not a complete idiot.....parts of me are still missing. :) ~Syli~ [View Quote] syliJun 4, 2001, 6:50am
