Part two... (Count this as two entries my good friend Nornny)

My doom and citizenship expiration lurks in the distance like Nornny's hopes of making it through the next vote on his tribe. I've
decided to take up one of the offers for use of a spare cit to finish this game at least.

On to the fun and juicy stuffz. The small doses of pure Puruvian miracle powder (Don't ask) that I added to the majority of the
other player's drinking water seems to have taken effect and is causing mild bouts of Luke Skywalker's Disease (similar to Lou
Gherig's Disease)

Syntax, he is such a liar. He knows darn well that I was not polishing my heatsink, but loosening the clip on it to faciliate the
addition of a peltier and a watercooling system on top of the peltier to cool that and finally a giant heatsink and fan on top of
the watercooling. As far as the grapes thing, I don't eat grapes. Cold pizza and McDonalds makes for a great diet.

Concidering that Gamera and Alphabit got together and spawned Leaf... I think the entire team can be listed for destruction once my
war-machine makes the merger. Who I'd like to be in the final three with... Tony M and SW Chris would be the two primary choices
since they're my minions. However, some female companionship wouldn't be bad either.

Immigration Officer: Warning: your citizenship expires in 28 days. To extend your citizenship for another year, press the Renew
button in the toolbar.

Oh no!

Yes, it's that time of year. However, this time, I shall NOT be renewing. Why? Cuz I don't feel like paying for it. Most of you
won't care, a few of you will, and about half of those few will be glad to see me go. I intend to make an exit to touristhood and
hang around there. Naturally, in 28 days, I will be unable to post in these groups any longer, and may god be with those of you who
can't tolerate the idiots that I've assisted in chasing away. If you're secretly in love with me or some crap like that, contact me
inworld for my email address, or if you have the intelligence, simply pluck it off of any of my posts.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, assuming you got this far.

This is why you hang out with mildly intelligent people that understand that they're operating under your tab. Of course, stupid
people make the world go round and we certainly have a LOT of them here.

Grrrr, DDoS attacks are the work of idiots wannabe hackers (Hacker being defined as one who has thorough knowledge of the inner
workings of computers and the software that inhabit them, to the point where it is POSSIBLE that they would use that knowledge to
infiltrate a system, but won't unless it's never been done before or it is for the good of the wold at large) that have nothing
better to do with their lives than say "I don't like you! I'm going to do a really dressed up ping attack on you!" It's nothing that
anyone ever needs to worry about, 99.999% of these things blow over within SECONDS or never even manifest and those that don't
oftentimes are against major corperations and are legal suicide runs. I hate wannabes and "Security experts", all they ever do is
give hackers a bad name (Between them and the media it's a wonder that we don't get arrested just for knowing how to read the
Windows registry for passwords) THAT is absolute paranoia, and as soon as those security experts get what they want, the US will
lose most of it's citizens that don't just mindlessly follow trends and buy everything that everyone else does and pretend they're
cool because they're like all the other cool people that are pretending to be cool when there really is no definition of cool except
that which the mindless, unbrained society has given it. We'll take over Canada or some other country nobody will ever miss.

Enough ranting.

Okay brain fart. It's late. Allow me to extend that thought. First... What in the HELL are you talking about?

Second... If you can't see the wrong in AWCI's practices, please get off the crack and pay attention to what we're saying. They
don't have a shit's concern for their paying customers nor their paid employees.

Third... Go obtain a comprehension of AW's history. There are several websites out there, that I'm sure someone will link to for me.

Fourth... Once you see the light (or lack thereof), you can work on things like quoting and lack of extraneous punctuation.

Welcome to the cold, hard reality. I swear you were in that particularly tough to sway crowd at GZ yesterday. Anyway, in this piece
of software, users are asked to test. Asked for ideas even. Sure, we test. But do our ideas get used? I thought not. Is it because
Roland (The programmer) doesn't want to? No. It's because the boys in charge don't. I'm going to make this easy and filter you now,
you seem to have no comprehension of how a company should operate, what morals are and what true reality is. Get out of your cloud
kid. (Maybe "bodhi" is an AWCOM employee trying to break this all up?)

Jul 2, 2001, 3:49pm

Sorry about the length. But, I feel it needs to be said.

Development sure as hell isn't stalling. In my entire time as an AW citizen, I saw only three new releases. 2.2 (2.1 was in there
when I was a tourist-I think, but that was a LONG time before I registered), 3.0 and 3.1. Now 3.2 is coming down the pipe. We're on
what is almost a half year development cycle now, when they used to be incredibly spread out. Management's ability to run a
buisiness is AW's only downfall.

The technology, in the right hands, is quite capable of more than people give it credit for, including it's own creators. Take SW
City's Peril Mountain for example. This first person shooter, while the graphics are cheezy at some points, works around
Alphaworld's (Yes, it's in Alphaworld) super low cell limit, AW's restricted commands, etc, all without a bot. That's right. NO bot.
Eep refused to play the game for that reason, though I suspect that it was just his bias against it's builders. Multiple weapons,
special gadgets, well dressed enemy guards, some KILLER sound effects and some really awesome background midis (Yes, midis CAN sound
cool AWCI. Can you maybe put some at GZ?), kinda James Bond-ish, except no hot girls (yet). It rivals primitive FPS games across the
board, and is based on one of the cheeziest 3d applications I've ever seen. AW has it's gaming ability. But gay paintball worlds
aren't it. Bingo and chess games aren't the limit.That rather odd world known as the thirteenth floor sure as hell isn't. Games
don't even have to be bot baseed.

Losing Renderware isn't important at this moment, it's giving AW a goal. A purpose. It's best role, it seems, would be a simple chat
room with an amount of games on the side. Not a crappy e-comemrce tool. E-commerce went out with the 20th century Rick and JP. Wake
up and smell the burning silicon. Partnering with all these other companies like Juno isn't going to make you any money after
awhile. You're simply theiving away from their user base. Once the big companies are done with you, you'll be ass broke and have to
go begging to your parents for allowances again. You need to do for the customers what the customers want you to do. If you do what
the general public wants, you'll attract more of your own users, they'll stay longer, give you more payments in the long run, etc.
It'll take longer, but eventually, you'll have infinite cashflow and be able to buy Canada (Why you'd want it I don't know...)

You may now resume your normal lives.

Since I'm a particularly hostile mood I'll dissect Facter's reply as well.
[View Quote] Typical corperate stuff. Note the double space between "is" and "very" Looks like he went to superiors for words there. Not that
theres anything wrong with it, this is inconsequential to AW's future.

I rather liked the concept of the weather bot, but grrrrr, the constant changing sucked.. At least getting some nighttime in Alpha

I'm yet to see a corperation implement AWCI's technologies successfully. I've seen some amazing things done with AW. But it's not a
tool, it's a toy. Architecturally, it's more efficient to use proprietary software.because in the real world, pre-fabs just don't
look cool. It doesn't support load bearing either. It's not an e-commerce tool by far, simply because you have to download a
seperate tool (the browser) to view the store. It's not useful in the movie industry (see crappy movie worlds).

AWCOM's drivers, Rick and JP let the concerns of it's citizens go in one ear and out the other. Have they even come online in the
past bazillion years? I'm willing to bet that I have more hours on my account than both of theirs combined. Roland leaked that they
don't have his concerns in mind, and his concerns are truly with us, as are Facter's. Facter doesn't get listened to very often
either. The staff may listen, but the "brains"(Term used VERY loosely) don't. Roland could take AW's development light years from
where it is given freedom and proper tools. Spare a few odd bugs, theres truly nothing wrong with the work he has done that can't be
attributed to the dead weight at the top. Facter can keep being cool headed Facter answering the same mindless questions day after
day after day. The rest of em can keep doing whatever the heck they do, and AW would sail onwards full speed ahead. But, there
happen to be a pair of anchors keeping it in place and moving only when they get paid lots and lots of money. I expect that it would
cost about $30 and two candy bars, one each for Rick and JP to take over... Of course, they'll probably WANT much more than
that.... Ahh god, it's late. I'm starting to envision those two as a brain tumor... Forgive me if none of this made ANY sense.
