Active Worlds

[trolls' bane]

Does anyone else besides those I invited a member of Active Worlds? I have a small town in AWTeen, at 78N 557W, where so far my cousin Zeak, and Last Sane PErson and LMM have been building.

[trolls' bane]

A most interesting thing happened today on AWTeen. First, the entire world flooded. The water is usually far below the terrain level, underground, but for a while it was above datum by two meters. This was about 300 meters above it's usual level. More on that later.

And then, when my cousin and I were on, I was telling him about the flood and showing him Sane's castle, when a voice that apparently only I could "hear" (or rather, see in my chatbox) spoke. I have the entire conversation documented.

"Siegfried": Hail Zeak, Misser of the Flood!
"Siegfried":
"Siegfried": Follow.
"Zeak": dang dang
"Zeak": whao
"Zeak": improved

"Siegfried": They were working on it. One of the girls was the one who witnessed the flood. the one who joined first, that is.
"Siegfried": Entmooters are really picking up!
"Siegfried": On this place.
"Zeak": i see
"Siegfried": Lot's of mooters will join soon. Under the dominion of Siegfried the Great.
"Zeak": and lord Zeak
It shall flood again!
"Siegfried": And His Royal Sidekick, Zeak!
"Siegfried": Did you type that?
"Siegfried": "It shall flood again"
"Siegfried": Did you type that?
"Zeak": huh?
"Siegfried": How'd you do that!?
Nah, I'm the voice in your head. ...sup?
"Zeak": wat
"Zeak": do wat
"Zeak": wat i do
"Siegfried": Apparently not. The Voice Over My Royal Head is.

"Siegfried": You can't hear that?
Yo dawg, word or are you gonna just sit there takin the leak all day?
"Zeak": ?
"Zeak": i cant hear anything
"Siegfried": No, I guess not. And I'm not a dawg. I'm a Martian.
"Siegfried": I'll follow you, I gues, if I could see you.
"Siegfried": Whoever you are.
Foo don't make me bust a cap up in this hizzle
Word. I'll pop in if anythin be comin up dat you need ta know
"Zeak": who r u talkin to
"Siegfried": I guess I know what you mean.
"Siegfried": Shush, Zeak, the Voice is speaking.
"Siegfried": You know, the one "over my head."
"Zeak": werd u go
"Zeak": nvm,
"Siegfried": ZEAK!?
"Zeak": are u ok
"Zeak": thers no one here
"Zeak": besides us
"Siegfried": I''m fine! You can't say you don't see that in the hcatbox.
"Siegfried": But there are black letters!
"Zeak": ?
"Siegfried": An admin, or whatever they call admins here.
"Siegfried": Apparently.
"Zeak": i dont see anything but our typing
"Zeak": whostyping to u
"Siegfried": It said "Foo don't make me bust a cap up in this hizzle"
"Zeak": holy shnikes
"Siegfried": I dunno. The Voice Over My Head, I guess.
"Zeak": are u shure
"Zeak": he would talk to me
"Zeak": very weird
"Siegfried": I told him/her/they/it that I am a Martian. I don't know.
"Zeak": are u shure
"Siegfried": Maybe it's like this whisper feature.
"Siegfried": Trippy.
"Zeak": tell him i want to talk to him
"Siegfried": I wonder if it will flood while you are here.
"Zeak": tell him w i want to talk to him,
"Siegfried": It's okay, I dont' need to. Apparently he can hear both of us.
"Siegfried": If he is listening.
"Zeak": hey if u can type to me do it now
"Siegfried": This is just like The Twilight Zone, only more realistic.
"Zeak": this better niot be a joke
"Siegfried": It's not, I swear!
"Siegfried": I swear!
"Siegfried": And I dont' swear much.
"Siegfried": On anything.
"Zeak": ok if who ever he is can here me i want to talk to him
"Siegfried": Unless its' my computer lying to me.
"Zeak": rite know!
"Zeak": tell him that
"Siegfried": Okay.
"Siegfried": But wait, he can here you!
"Siegfried": I mean hear.
"Zeak": i dont care
"Zeak": u tell it to him
"Siegfried": Okay, then.
"Siegfried": Zeak would like to talk to you, oh Great Omniscient Voice.
"Siegfried": From Above My Head.
"Siegfried": *looks up*
"Siegfried": Zeak, you there?
"Siegfried": (to "Zeak") Zeak?
Yo dawg, your brotha betta be flappin dat yap o his only when he is spoken to, or da mob be smokin him. Word?
"Siegfried": Word.
Dawg?
"Siegfried": I guess.
"Siegfried": Ka wow!
Peace, brotha.
"Siegfried": *bows MArtian style*
"Siegfried": I've got rhythm...I've got music...I've got my girl
"Siegfried": Whou could ask for anything more?
"Siegfried": I've got daisies...in green pastures...I've got my girl
Oh shizzle, he went broadway on us. Get him, boys!
"Siegfried": Who can ask for anything more?
"Mobster #1" is attacking you!
"Siegfried": Would you rather hear Siegfried's funeral march?
"Siegfried": Seems appropriate.
"Siegfried": Problem is, there are no words.
"Siegfried": Is there an AWTeen Philharmonic I could borrow?
"Siegfried": I have an amphitheater.
"Siegfried": Up there! *points*
Mobster #1 used rapid-shot!! You took 15 damage!
"Siegfried": I guess not.
"Siegfried": What about La Donna e Mobile?
"Siegfried": Nah, I dont' knwo Italian.
Mobster #1 used pistol whipped you!! You took 10 damage!
"Zeak": twell that guy that hes not talkin to me
"Zeak": ask himwer is he
"Siegfried": I did? What's going on. I'm sure you're ready to hear what I have to say about this town?
"Siegfried": Good!
"Zeak": where are you
"Siegfried": I just think it is so interesting that when matter passes through a black hole event horizon, it is curved infinitely and is turned into a sort of quantum froth.
"Zeak": who said that
"Siegfried": All particles, that is.
"Zeak": he told me something
"Zeak": freaky
"Zeak": he said something to me
You attacked Mobster #1 with intellegence. Took 50 damage!
"Siegfried": Including Quarks, leptons, muons, neutrinos...yadda yadda yadda. But it's amazing how...uh...amazing it is.
Mobster #1 has died!
"Zeak": he said mobster#1 turned away from siegfried and toward zeak.Mobster #1 punched you in the face.10 damage
"Siegfried": Which reminds me, you could in fact stop yourself from dying, Mobster 1, if you could find a stalbe wormhole. You could in effect kill me in the past, but then that would cause some havoc for your present self if you could return, because then you..
"Siegfried": would not have met me and would nto have been able to know that you could go to the past and kill me.
"Siegfried": I'm hoping you wouldn't anyway.
"Siegfried": Not that it would matter.
"Zeak": whoa wer r u
"Siegfried": Because I'd be alive because I would never have been killed.
"Zeak": mobster guy
"Siegfried": Good question.
Oh, snap! This brotha has da mad skillz! Homie, I'm not gonna mess with you no more!
"Siegfried": Thank you! I never knew I had it in me!
"Zeak": i wonder where he is!
"Siegfried": *bows*
"Siegfried": Great, I say again.
"Zeak": he only typed to me once
"Siegfried": Frell it, it's amazing how far one can go with knowlege only from reading "ASk the Astronomer."
"Zeak": stop talkin to him
"Siegfried": Special and general relativity are amazing. IT's all amazing.
"Siegfried": Like the fact that the galaxies only appear to be movign away from each other, but rather, they are stationary. Actual space-time is dilating betwen them. hence the term "space dilation".
"Siegfried": Okay.

[trolls' bane]

"Zeak": wat is he talkin to u about
"Zeak": wat should we do
"Zeak": i wondetr if we can see him

"Siegfried": You are you and only you can see what he types.
"Siegfried": My bad, "brotha", He.
"Siegfried": Capital H.
"Siegfried": Just like something Mitch Hedberg would say.
"Siegfried": I think I'll listen to an episode of X Minus One. An old time radio show.

"Zeak"(with the "Voice" speaking through him) : Wats up,dogg

[Serenoli]

LOL, that was one funny conversation. Some kind of hacker, it seems... my favourite bit was how Siegfried (troll's bane, I assume?) killed the mobster, and scared the Voice with quantum physics!!!

[Serenoli]

BTW, how do you play AW?

I know, wasn't that great? I killed him with intelligence. I think it WAS some sort of admin, the same who flooded the world, probably, and perhaps another "keeping score."
I'm on there now, and so far nothing unusual has happened.
The wierdest part was at the end where Zeak says "Wats up, dogg?" That's where he must have spoken through Zeak.
That hacker is intriuging, makes me wonder that maybe it isn't an admin. A good mystery, that.
I think the answer will reveal itself in good time, or rather, himself.

[Serenoli]

I suppose he'll be back... I would if I was him!

[The last sane person]

Hah! Wow, perhaps thats...Could it be the same person? The lettering that stated "The plumbing has been fixed" was in black too. You think it was the same? Only...mine was more intellegent. I'm glad Zeak liked my castle. It's improving, and LMM seems to be improving, if somewhat wobbily.

Yeah! Imagine that! Daily being able to wreak mental havoc on random individuals. It's even mroe amazing considering that where it happened was in the middle of nowhere, because my town is literally in the middle of nowhere, and "voices" of people cannot be heard from about 200 meters away. So he must have been close and invisible, or far and defying the game's physics. We were at least half a klick north of Ground Zero (0N 0W where most people are, and that is a real long ways in this game, even though the world goes well beyond thirty klicks away from GZ. I hope he does come back, because 1) I want Zeak to see the flood and 2) I thought whoever it was was kinda cool even though I don't like people who act "gangsta" or "ghetto."

[The last sane person]

I think it was the same person that I was chatting with, right after you and LMM logged off. (or she did, you just went way the heck away) For the life of me, that was fun, that flood. But...why?

[Serenoli]

I share your view TB that he was kinda cool despite all the ghetto gangsta. Who can tell why he did it, though? Probably only cos it was loads of fun and he had a lot of spare time.

Yeah. It's amazing how one of you is always on when something cool happens, but the other isn't. He missed the flood, you two missed this...this...Voice.
Wow, I think I'll buy a world JUST TO DO THAT!

[The last sane person]

Hah, craaaazy. And I dont think I missed that voice, one or more has been bugging me. I had a nice conversation with IT prior to having dinner. It liked my castle and told me what I could do to improve it. It seems I have a friendly little shoulder demon now!

Cool! I wonder if that little comment I made about the dreaded AWTeen police force attracted some attention.

[The last sane person]

Lmao, you mean the "who is going to get us down here? the dreaded Awteen castle poilce?

[trolls' bane]

Precisely.

[The last sane person]

I dunno, I think the person who was talking with me was a part of the AWteen castle force...we were kidding around on me making a little subteranean middle earth. I like my shoulder demon friend.

[katya]

Oh my god, that was a funny conversation! I honestly laughed for like a whole minute when "Siegfried" started singing. And the quantum physics bit was pretty funny too. This sounds like a fun game. I downloaded it before I left but then I had to go so I couldn`t really play. Sad. The whole voice thing sort of reminds me of the .hack series.

[trolls' bane]

Really? It's worth getting into when you return. A great timekiller/boredom buster. I am actually considering giving up SWG for a while, since 1. it costs too much and 2. I could get an entire world to my own, plus access to hundreds of others for the same amount per year. But my problem is that I would get bored with AW and then want to fly my starfighter on SWG. It's a real tough choice, and my parents won't spend a penny on it, so it's my choice to make.
