Have you ever had a face part rejected, but then maybe a week or so later you were shopping and saw one almost exactly like it? You probably thought to yourself, "Why was that one accepted, but not mine?"

My theory is that Akbar isn't completely fair on accepting face parts. What proof do I have, you might ask. Well, let's review the facts, shall we?

1. You are not allowed to make certain body parts such as legs, right? Try doing a part search on leg and see what you come up with.
You'll probably see something called "Frog leg 1 & 2" How did that get accepted? It can't fit anywhere else except for a leg.

Editor's Note: What's important to consider is that most of the parts you see that don't fit the rules were accepted before Akbar established those rules clearly and concretely in the last year or so. People who designed parts months and months ago are still making them, and not all of those could get accepted today.

2. NO war related items, huh? Then how did there used to be parts such as "Links shield" and "lightsabres"? And if you do a search on sword you will find something called "element sword." And that's obviously a weapon.

Editor's Note: As you said yourself, there used to be these parts -- they're not allowed anymore. Actually, Akbar used to have an assistant who was a big Star Wars fan, so he's probably the one who accepted the light sabres anyway. ;-)

3. (This one is more of the Face Factory's fault than Akbar.) Even when you have a WhyPass, you still can't always get into the Face Factory.
Most of the time, no one can get into the Factory, right? Even if you just bought that great WhyPass. I tried what a friend suggested and went to the Face Factory at 1a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Every time, it was still too busy. In all of Whyville, I think there was maybe 20 other people in total. So how could it be busy? I have no idea!

Editor's Note: As everybody who buys a WhyPass should know, the Pass gives you priority access to Whyville and the Factory. That means you're first in line when you try to log in to Whyville or the Factory. But it doesn't guarantee there's not someone in front of you, or that there's not a big pile of parts to be accepted and constructed before anyone can design a new part. There's no way to get in front of everyone, even for City Workers! :-)

I hope this answers a few of your questions...
