Using cool bot technology (made with the Active Worlds SDK) we've got a new friend, [BingoBot], who runs killer games of Bingo each week!The first Wednesday Nite Bingo was so popular that we ran out of cards! Hamfon and Young Shamus decided to fix that! So, they put their heads together, and whipped up a new AWBingo that's faster, has more cards, and will make it way more fun! Each game consists of 10 rounds, and the winners of each game are eligible to win a prize like worlds, PS in AW, Special Objects, citizenships, etc...! Winners from the Grand Opening games included: Prof Oak, Nerilka, jippydawg, Image360, Sailor Moon, OreoGirl, CCTech, balov, Growlith, spector, Gallop, Internal Affairs, Byte Me and Ima Genius! AWBINGO will be running games every Wednesday for fun and games, so come
join the fun!
