COLONY CITY SUGGESTIONS

Those names that are in cyan and have links from them signify people whose suggestions have been gratefully accepted and implemented in Cybertown.

I suggest that we have a huge database where people can submit personal data and try to find another person with similiar interests.

Hi!! my name is Rolando (a.k.a Weck) and i live on app.32 of the second Tower.As a graffiti Artist i wish we could have halls or all-wall streets on town where we could paint legally and where people could come and look at our art. We could call this hood the Art Valley. I wish we`ll soon have our hood. =)

I was thinking that a bulletin board for residents would be great, covering common subjects. While I couldn't create the cgi-bin requirements for this, I am willing to administer the subjects.

My name is Matt Kunkel, and I was thinking about how cool it would be to have a "Cyber-Concert Hall" where there could be updates on different types of music, and where you could put Bulletin Boards with interests to different types of music groups.

The sport complex could have scores of games from the past week as well as some cool sport games to play.

How about a "rec" center or cultural center, where community residents could come together to interact in events, charities, games, whatever!

I have an apartment reserved in the 3rd tower apartment #44. I think you should start creating a whole cyberworld!!!! Have different cities to fit different people's needs. i.e. - you can have a city devoted completely to adventures. Or even have different worlds! Like Technoworld or Compuworld.

How about putting an indoor ski resort in Cybertown!

How about a Multi-User game in which Cybertown citizens can compete with each other, or play together.

There used to be a really cool game in the UK about five years ago - could still be going for all I know - it was called MUD (Multi-User Dungeon). It had a fantasy setting and took place in a small world filled with interesting nooks and crannies.

There was a small cottage with several rooms, a brook, a bridge, a cave with a Troll in it, a shop, loads of NPC's like a Wizard, an old lady, the Troll, a crow.

It was pretty basic stuff but you could wander around in the game and explore the places. You could go in the house and find a chest of drawers which you could open and find things inside like a book or an umbrella or whatever. Each object you found had a points value and by taking it to the local swamp you could drop it in and gain the points value - a bit like gaining experience in AD&D. The more points you got the more powerful you became and you gained spells - weedy ones at first, but eventually you became a Wizard and could do all sorts of things like go invisble, fire lightning bolts and stuff.

Okay - transport the setting to Cybertown - make it sci-fi and I think you'd have something that'd be a lot of fun. Maybe it could have a cops and robbers setting with villains, bounty hunters or whatever. People could accrue fame or infamy depending upon what they did - the people who want to be bad could have one objective in each game and the good people could have another.

I think everyone should have a simulated life! They all have a sim-job, a sim-family, a sim-bank account, etc. We have to pay taxes with our sim-money and we can buy stuff (sim-stuff) with it too! The citizens could trade amongst themselves and have garage sales and such, no purpose, just for the fun of it. I think a lot of people would go with these ideas. Of course you'd be trading sim-stuff. Also, when colonists have ideas that get posted, you should have a link to directly E-mail them for comments and such, if they request. I do not want to have a link on mine. Also, you could have crimes in the city, like someone steals somebody else's sim-tv.

I think it would be great if we could have an international center to bring a little culture to this town! (international culture...) It could be a place where people of different backgrounds could show their heritage and language with others. Maybe we could learn some things from each other! :)

My suggestion is a theme park which offers virtual rides.

I would like to see a cyber post office created where people who have multiple users of the same computer can pass and receive email with some privacy.

I think that creating a street of small shops, i.e., science fiction bookstore, various hobby stores (flyfishing, radio controlled helicopters, endurance riding, pottery, needlepoint, etc., etc.,) gourmet food store, sports stores, stores dedicated to parts of the Internet, (interactive games, a store for help with designing home pages, multimedia, etc.,) where each store is basically a homepage of resources plus a chat room where people interested in those topics could drop by to get info and hook up with other people with similar interests would be fun, and useful in that it would cut down on surfing time, which is fun in itself, but tedious when you actually want specific info...I'd be happy to be the manager of one or two of these stores. I've been reading Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language" about planning and user-friendly archetectural design, and it seems like a place like Colony City is a great arena to test some of these theories of design, aesthetics, and environmental psychology....

My friend Jeff and I would like to propose that there be a new additional building to Cybertown.... a chapel. Jeff and I are cyber married already but would like to take our vows in a chapel in Cybertown. We also would like to have a minister/priest preside over our wedding. There is no place on the Net that we know of where we can be married and we are running this idea through you.



My name is Eric from App. 75 in the Old Colony. I hang out at Le Cafe a lot and talk about God all the time. It would be nice to see a church here where people could go to fellowship. Also, I see no problem if someone wanted to be married in such a place, right?


How about a cyber-library where residents can place books, poems, music, art or whatever of their own creation for other residents to read, hear, borrow, etc.

J.R. Wilson Old Town, Tower 1, Apt. 95



Interactive hover race tracks and casinos.

I think Colon City should have just about everything. The one thing I would like most is to make Colony City more interactive than Cybertown. Not just chat but things like elections, multi-player games, and mainly more of what the residents say (elections). I think that would make Colon City way better than Cybertown.
