-This Week's Listing of In-World Events
--The REAL Community On-line
Recently in the WorldsAway Dreamscape, a beauty contest was held. Not
about one's physical appearance mind you, this conest was more of a parade
of the beautiful souls and personalities that live on-line. Awards were
given for the most compassionate avatars and many other special
personalble categories. A sampling of the most admired individuals of the
community, this event showed the obvious emotional ties that unite our
members. Heart-felt thank you speeches touched the members that attended.
The event for many really seemed to be a communal recognition of their
friendships and relationships that make this more than say a "virtual"
community. This is a community if not in the physical sense in the Waking
World, but certainly in the emotional reality that all normal people
experience every day.
There are many events in the WorldsAwy Dreamscape that are just as special
as the beauty contest. What you make of your time in the Dreamscape,
however, is completely up to you and not necessarily dependant on the
in-World Event of the day. The challenge is to get involved and make a
difference. If you find yourself spending a lot of time on-line with
friends, come to WorldsAway where there are interactions and issues. Be a
real cyber-citizen and create your own events. You'll make friends and
find this is a great place to be.
