Interview with Aurora Ivy: What happens when good kids fall in with bad sims!

by Alphaville Herald on 23/12/03 at 7:53 pm

The past few weeks there have been rumors floating around Alphaville that Aurora Ivy was an avatar run by Evangeline. I am now in a position to categorically say that she is not Van. At least a dozen sims have come forward to vouch for her. Everyone affirms that she is a sweet 13 year old kid who has been in the game for over a year. She *did* however, briefly fall in with Evangeline and was pressured into participating in one of his scams. In this interview Aurora Ivy explains how she fell into Evangeline?s orbit and participated in one of his scams, talks about what she saw at Free Money For Newbies, and talks about life as a 13 year old on the mean streets of Alpha.

Aurora Ivy:
So what is the interview about?

Urizenus:
Oh, what it’s like to be a kid in alphaville

Aurora Ivy:
But umm Im not exactly a kid

Urizenus:
how old are you?

Aurora Ivy:
13

Aurora Ivy:
Theres alot of 13′s in AV

Urizenus:
really?

Urizenus:
do you know a lot of them?

Aurora Ivy:
Yup I’ve met over at least 15

Urizenus:
wow

Aurora Ivy:
I?ve even met 11′s and 10′s year olds

Urizenus:
What are some of the hassles you guys run into?

Aurora Ivy:
…Umm being misunderstood, for 1

Aurora Ivy:
But as for that I dun think I?ve ran into many hassles

Urizenus:
well, people thought you were evangeline…

Aurora Ivy:
That makes me angry

Urizenus:
how did that happen?

Aurora Ivy:
Ok ok Ill tell the whole truth =(

Urizenus:
ok

Aurora Ivy:
Nick or lilith’ ?

Aurora Ivy:
Had received a message from Voleur [Evangeline]

Aurora Ivy:
She asked him if he would ask me if i wanted to do one of her stunts

Aurora Ivy:
So i accepted cuz i was bored

Urizenus:
does he live with her?

Aurora Ivy:
..Not no more

Urizenus:
but he did?

Aurora Ivy:
ya he did

Aurora Ivy:
They turned on each other

Urizenus:
oooh

Aurora Ivy:
I got interested in voleur when he did [live with her]

Urizenus:
ic

Aurora Ivy:
But anyways so the plan was i would be her bait

Aurora Ivy:
And i would act like i won 5mill

Aurora Ivy:
I guess she was ONLY being nice to me cuz i was his [lilith?s] friend

Urizenus:
so you met evangeline/voleur, and she was nice to you?

Aurora Ivy:
She backstabbed me

Aurora Ivy:
But besides that

Urizenus:
how did she backstab you?

Aurora Ivy:
Complicated

Urizenus:
we have time (or I do)

Aurora Ivy:
ya but its really stressing

Aurora Ivy:
After i pretended to win 5mill

Aurora Ivy:
I soon took the “OMG i won 5mill at voleurs” right off my bio and went back to things as usual

Aurora Ivy:
I didn’t think anyone would care

Urizenus:
what did you get for doing that?

Urizenus:
(for putting it in your bio)

Aurora Ivy:
Umm nothin

Aurora Ivy:
Except people believe this lie

Urizenus:
so why did you do it

Aurora Ivy:
I dunno cuz at first i thought it would be coool

Aurora Ivy:
But then it turns out It wasn?t all it got me was in a big lie

Urizenus:
did you think it was cool to be in with evangeline?

Aurora Ivy:
No i would just hang at her house

Aurora Ivy:
I never would LIVE there or SCAM

Urizenus:
was it fun to hang there?

Aurora Ivy:
Ya a lil despite all the people bein called ugly

Aurora Ivy:
But I think Skull sims [sims with skulls for heads] , well lets just say I dun like those things

Urizenus:
well, what was that like, watching newbies being slapped and called ugly and being scammed?

Aurora Ivy:
Well It was really mean

Aurora Ivy:
But i mean its just a game

Urizenus:
did you feel bad for the newbies?

Aurora Ivy:
I was a newbie once

Aurora Ivy:
I had been treated like that in EJ

Aurora Ivy:
So i know the feeling even i was scammed when i was new

Aurora Ivy:
But ya

Aurora Ivy:
=( its not cool to make others feel bad I mean some people get that enough in RL

Urizenus:
so you just sat and watched the scamming and abuse?

Aurora Ivy:
Yes…

Aurora Ivy:
And I regret that now

Urizenus:
did you watch van and Celestie lock newbies in the freezer?

Aurora Ivy:
..I never saw that?

Aurora Ivy:
Did she really do that

Aurora Ivy:
I saw her once put someone in 4 walled room with no door

Urizenus:

Urizenus:
I saw her cage a black sim and call her a monkey.

Aurora Ivy:
…Dang that is cruel racism ICK so rude and evil

Urizenus:
what about the way black sims were treated.

Aurora Ivy:
I never saw that

Aurora Ivy:
Soon my friends were pleading me not to go there so now I no longer go there

Aurora Ivy:
I wasn’t there ALL the time

Urizenus:

Urizenus:
Do you and the other 13&14 year old players get together and talk about problems you have in the game?

Aurora Ivy:
Uhh Nope

Aurora Ivy:
I usually talk about RL stuff

Urizenus:

Aurora Ivy:

Aurora Ivy:
Ahh yes I chat with my 13 year friends on here

Urizenus:

Aurora Ivy:
Yep

Urizenus:

Urizenus:

Aurora Ivy:
Oh ya

Aurora Ivy:
“People of AV Im not Voleur for one Cuz I have been here since 2002 and have been nice ALOT and also ^_^ I’m always here for new people”

Urizenus:
no more hanging out at Free Money for Newbies?

Aurora Ivy:
lol Free Money for Newbies can Burn!!!

Aurora Ivy:
I think its cruel what they do

Aurora Ivy:
Locking people up and slapping and scamming

Aurora Ivy:
So No more hanging with them hopefully if everyone in AV stops going there we won?t have this problem

Urizenus:
Thanks Aurora!
