>Dear Trade Wars fan, <br><br> As we approach the 20th anniversary of the original release of Trade Wars (December, 1986), I am pleased to announce that I have reached an agreement with Sylien Entertainment to develop a long-overdue graphical remake of this classic game. But before we can proceed, we need your help. Because Trade Wars is 20 years old, I have lost touch with all but a small percentage of its fanbase. Unless we can reach out to this fanbase and prove that interest in Trade Wars still exists, we will be unable to secure the funding necessary to complete this project. <br><br> To accomplish this, we are running a small survey to estimate the number of people who have played or hosted Trade Wars over the years. By answering this one-question survey, you will enable us to demonstrate the great potential of a new Trade Wars project. Nothing else will be required of you, but if you choose, you may request to receive a monthly Trade Wars newsletter with updates on our progress. And if you really want to help out, you can complete an optional, more extensive survey. We would love to learn more about your experience with Trade Wars. <br><br> The survey is located at [](https://web.archive.org/web/20060000000000*/https://www.sylien.com/survey.php) <br><br> For this effort to succeed, I need you to forward this email to anyone who might be in contact with a past Trade Wars player or game host. Most of them have been away from the game for many years, and this is our only hope of reaching them. <br><br> Thank you for helping us to update this classic game for a new generation of gamers! <br><br> John Pritchett, EIS<br> jpritch@eisonline.com

I will be posting the TW Awards winners soon and may put up a run off on the ties, so there can be a definite winner on the Awards, sorry it is taking a while, but am moving things to new house, will be done in a day or two, just got the computer in just a few days ago, and had to type with the keyboard in my lap till last night, when I got the desk in the house. Sorry that R/L issues have delayed the posting of the winners, but it will be worth it. I may post them here and in the other forums as well, and thinking of making a special page for the winners on the main site too. I will work on that one in a while, but will post the winners on the forums first tho. Sorry all for the time it is taking, but the move is almost complete.

Okay I have worked out the bugs with the TW Awards Voting Booth. The only thing is, you have to register to vote like in a real election vote, but there can be no posting in the forum it is in, cause that is disabled, and the TW Awards Voting Booth is now open for business. So get all your tails over to it and vote. You all know you want to vote for your favs that are listed in the Voting Booth, now here is your chance to show your support, The top 5 are listed in each category of the categories that were in the nominations. So have fun one and all, and support the community. The Addy to it is: https://vulcansforge-online.net:99/TWForum/index.php The polls will be up for 7 days, so there should be no excuses on why you didn't vote. Vulcan

The Winner is Singularity's Team. They did an Excellent job through out the game . Congrats to Singularity And his Team!!!! The Reason the Game is being stopped early is because i caught two players who are on seperate teams killing each other for points..... Now if it would of been earlier in the game i would of just deleted them both negated thier points and we would continue..However after speaking to Alexio and Singularity and members of Big D's Team and Vader i decided to close the Game and announce the winners. I personally want to say thanks to everyone who played!!!! I learned a lot and the Haunted Halloween Tournament will hopefully be as much fun!!!! Thanks again for playing, Space Ghost
