Whoa, where’s everyone been? Wanna know where your favorite governors and staff have been? Here’s what’s going on. Syntax, from what I hear, is on some golf tour. Not sure when he’ll be back. Cmm just got back from Illinois. I got back from a week in Florida (last week), and Chris has been pretty busy with r/l stuff. And the other days? Well, me, oni, and cmm have been playing other games (*guilty face*), but, now that I renewed my cit with the new price scheme, time is money! I’m back on AW and Chris and I are preparing for the AW Festival. Oh – and good ol’ Vorn and Nutin have faithfully been on AW this whole time, though I think they’ve just been working in their worlds =P.

In other news, Cy Award nominations have begun. Don’t forget to vote 😉

AW’s 7th anniversary, the AW Fest, is on this Friday – Sunday. Go to AWCC world for the schedule. It’s been a tradition for SW City to hold some events for it. This year we’ll be hosting a building contest with a prehistoric building theme, and will be “opening” Mango Land theme part to all the AW Fest people. The third event is a tour of SW City, ending at the Outfitters Gift Shop, which is an in-world shop of the SW’ian items sold at cafe press.

Get your SW City gear ^_^. T-shirt, lunch box, and mousepad sold at www.cafepress.com/swcity. Thanks to Brock for making it!

After several days of work, SW City has finally been backed up for the first time thanks to SW Chris. Citizens can rest a little be better being secured from ppw falling into the wrong hands, wild drunken Enzo attacks, and other cataclysmic disasters ^_^

It seems that GZ betterment fever has swept through the town. On top of SW City’s main GZ being overhauled, Saddle Creek and Silver Valley are also doing complete make overs. Silver Valley’s GZ remains in the same location, while Saddle Creek moved to a more central location of the sub-community.

In other news, the city census has been updated. Minus the mighty Estates District and Ridge District, who have yet to merge their citizen registry with the citywide census, the city’s census is 105. Estimated total is 155 when including the other districts.

As a side project to the SW City GZ overhaul, Syntax expanded his monorail network to include the rest of the city, and is quickly making it’s way through town everyday.

And last, but certainly not least, the AW mapper, formally known as Vevo, updated it’s satellite pictures. Here’s a pic of SW City and it’s waterways. http://mapper.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/map/map-aw/c6/aw64-03456+00000.html?302,442

I am glad to inform you that SW City Town Square (SWGZ) has been totally revamped. This change to GZ is the first major change to the area in the history of SW City. All the previous updates to GZ were small additions and fixes. The new GZ will provide visitors with all the information they need to get the most out of SW City, which brings me to our next topic.

Flint, the city’s official bot, is now online at Town Square 24/7 thanks to SW Chris. The town bot will give visitors the feeling that the town is active all the time (which it is) and will not feel lonely anymore. Drop by Town Square sometime to check out the changes and say hi to Flint. ;-P

At 4 pm VRT, April 27th, Vornox joined the ranks of SW City staff as his viceroy lot got promoted to Suburb status. Cypris Creek (CC), has been a viceroy lot on the NW areas of Central District for rougly 6 months now. Recently the area has shown leaps of improvement, not only CC, but Vornox, who has been very involved with the city community lately. CC will now be taking more of a part in the betterment of SW City ^_^

You can find Cypris creek at AW 2123S 3374E
