Ah yes, the AAA. You
either know what it is, or you don't. It's basically a RPG
where you adopt an alien, hence the name, Alien
Adoption Agency. It's text based, and the idea of the
game is to battle your alien against other aliens, and hopefully
become the best alien around. You gain win credits, you
can fish, play the stock market, take your alien to the
gym, explore a wide world, and many many more things besides,
I've only just scratched the surface. Another great thing
about the AAA, and the main reason why I keep playing it,
is there is a huge community of all kinds of different people,
and a wealth of message boards and chat rooms where people
can talk about their daily lives, argue about different
aspects of the game, and just generally spend time with
other people.
My name within the
AAA is Rudeboy Rupert, and if you don't already know, I'm
an admin. This means that I can do almost anything to anyone's
alien, and I help to run the game, help people with problems,
bugs, try and come up with new ideas and suggestions. I
can restore aliens who have been deleted, I can put people
into jail, I can delete people, I can give any alien anything
they desire, but I'm just not allowed :) If you want to
get into contact with me for AAA based stuff, or just anything
really, e-mail me here.
If you don't play the
game, I suggest you go and sign up, and start playing it,
cause it's a fun game. A good tip for people who are new
to the game is to go and read the help files, they're maintained
by a guy called Reddy
Fire and he's an amazing editor who has changed the
helpfiles into an up-to-date version and it's a very good
resource if you're new to the game. Seeing as I get asked
this by every single person who ever talks to me, I am now
going to tell you the boring story of how I became admin.
This is just so I only ever have to write it out this one
time, and I can just tell people to go to this page and
read it. Hello if you're one of those people :) Here goes....
"I'd
been playing the AAA for roughly a year now, maybe a little
bit less, and I had been an editor, along with Addy for
several months. Addy had been promoted to an admin about
a month ago, and was doing really well as admin, and it
was a bit disappointing that he was an admin and I was still
an editor, but at least one of us had gotten there. There
had been some really big server crashes over the last week,
and lots of people needed to be restored, manually. This
was a long process that involves editing the alien back
to how it was, and it took a while to do, and there were
hundreds upon hundreds of requests from people to be restored.
I was talking to Jeff, who had been promoted to admin at
the same time as Addy had, and he had been an editor before,
and I was also married to him. But that's another story.
I asked Jeff if he could ask Webby if I could be made an
admin to help out with all of these restores that had to
be done, cause it was frustrating sitting back and watching
people needing to be restored but not being able to do anything
to help. Jeff came back to me a couple of minutes later
saying that I was now an admin, and Webby had meant to make
me an admin at the same time, but had mucked something up,
so I wasn't actually an admin when Addy and Jeff were. I
wasn't too bothered about that, I was just dead excited
that I had been made an admin, so I went to work on restoring
people, and did so for about 13 hours straight."
And that is the story of how I became an admin.
Boring wasn't it?
