Interview with Shockwave blur on Feb 5th 1999


BRO: Shockwave blur I am happy to interview you. You have done many great things after Jaxk fell. Could you tell me how you felt during the last days of world JaXk?
Shockwave blur: well, I realized that something was going on when I saw people starting to change their nicknames and CreditFraud accounts started to appear in their place.
BRO: Yes that was a spooky time it was hard to trust people.

BRO: Were you one of the first builders on JaXk?
Shockwave blur: No actually I was wandering around in Godzilla world when Jaxk appeared and asked people to come see his world...there were already 6 public speakers and many buildings already built.

BRO: Unlike Postland your city was already build when you were on JaXk. Do you recall the names of those first builders on JaXk?
Shockwave blur: I think American police, grumpy smurf, jdonley, BRO, aphroditie, 1angel,and Cyberwitch had already built on JaXk before I arrived
Shockwave blur: many others too.

BRO: Shockwave blur You one of first people to notice that many accounts were not were the same people using them. Didn't you, BRO and jdonley set up the last meeting to confront Jaxk about this?
Shockwave blur: yes there were several times that we confronted JaXk about that.

BRO: Your work with building and bots has gained you much respect in AW. You are a GK and CY award winner. What did you learn in Jaxk that has helped to live in AW?
Shockwave blur: I learned that there is a lot of hidden goings on here...prior to JaXk I really enjoyed AW...but after JaXk, my eyes were opened up to a lot of BS going on in this program. The experience made AW less of a place to get away from real world garbage.

BRO: You have a home in Postland what do you like about Postland
Shockwave blur: it's a nice community from what I've seen...although I haven't been there in awhile.

BRO: Shockwave blur you like many other were hurt and eyes opened with the fall of Jaxk. Was there ever any information given out by COF to help people understand what had happened to the world?
Shockwave blur: No, everything seems to be hush hush.

BRO: That is one thing that hurt many people I think that no one wanted to hear about JaXk till it was too late. Postland has always been a place of safety for people to come, as has your city. Do you see the new age of AW moving to a better place for citizens to live?
Shockwave blur: No! I really don't care much anymore.... I am looking to find other programs that are not as stagnant as AW in program growth

BRO: Could you give us some names of those programs?
Shockwave blur: well...I am going back to ExciteVP at times...there are other programs that are in development that are not opened yet that I forget the names of those programs.

BRO: This is a wonderful building we are standing in front now. One of the troubles with a complex building like it is frame rate can you give people a few hints about how to keep things moving
Shockwave blur: yes...don't use to many animates in the same area
BRO: Ah yes that is a very good idea.

BRO: What about the AW CD do you see that as good programming?
Shockwave blur: the CD does give more detail to objects but not worth the 40 bucks to buy it
BRO: You such a wealth of information I have strayed from my inter view. :)

BRO: Do you think JaXk is gone from AW forever?
Shockwave blur: No, I don't know for sure but I would guess he has come here other new names


BRO: Have you talked with him since the last time he turned off the world
Shockwave blur: nope

BRO: ah I have 2 times there has been trouble in Postland one time with Duxpond account and then Davidd, I wonder if they could involve JaXk?
Shockwave blur: you can never know
BRO: Ah that is the one thing we were taught from JaXk you never know:)

BRO: Is there anything else you would like to say for history in AW? I want to thank you for your great inter view
Shockwave blur: Seems like many people have become bored with paying 20 bucks for stagnant technology...it looks like people are not renewing their citizenship
BRO: Do you think the new programming can help?
shockwave blur: I don't know, hope so or this place will die from boredom

BRO: You and I could never cover it all in 1000 years, blur but I just wanted to have a little taste from everyone on the page thanks.
Shockwave blur: ok.... You're welcome

After the interview I visited blurs Star Ship Enterprise. He has won a CY award with it but he still is improving it. This is a part of that tour.

Shockwave blur: I added many new sounds inside the ship
BRO: it amazes me the frame rate in here is so good with all you had to do
You have added a lot in here. You did a very good job.

Shockwave blur: I added red alert animation
BRO: more computers with pictures too
Shockwave blur: walk into sickbay
BRO: waves are everywhere!
Shockwave blur: they all work together nicely like a conversation

Shockwave blur: Come up to the engine rooms to the right. This is the Dilitium
Crystal.
Shockwave blur: do you hear Capt. Kirk say 'just press the right button'?

BRO: I guess I better let you go thanks for the show and inter view
Shockwave blur: Ok, see you later.
