The TW Awards are in and once again I don’t have to contemplate suicide. We officially won Best Comedic Site and best Editorial site. We came in a close second for best news site, (Mostly because I voted for that other guy because I didn’t think I’d have any chance of winning. Looks like I need to meet Barney so he lead me on an adventure that shows me the power of believing in myself.) and took 2nd place in best website category. Congrats to all who won, even Augi.

4th Annual Trade Wars Awards – Nomination Results
Last Updated: 04/22/01

Welcome to the 4th Annual TW Awards hosted by the Home Sector! This is the continuation of the legacy first started by Gypsy 3 years ago! (Click here to view the 3rd Annual Awards by Wookie, which are still viewable online)

Things are a little different this year. We have decided to stray from the norm and add to the award categories to be more specific and to give more people a chance to be recognized. This was due to high demand from the voters, that wanted to see these categories added. There are many aspects to Trade Wars and we have covered all of that areas that we could think of.

---

Voting will begin Monday, April 23rd around 8-9pm Eastern time.

Sorry for the delay! Go here for the results and to see how you did!

The Sysop of Family Entertainment Network, or FEN for short, has made his case for being nominated for some TW Awards. Here is what he has to say..

I would like to see people list FEN or myself or my wife Supermom for representing FEN in the TW Awards for “Most Active Contributer” and/or “Community Award”

FEN always tends to be left out in all discussions about contributors and people that done lot for TW.

FEN has for years as a service and for our love to the game hosted numerous TW sites and TW related sites for HIGHLY reduced prices or more often then not completely FREE.
tradewars.org, twlinks.com, eleqtriq.ws, tradewars.ws, booinc.com, tw-extreme.com, twgazette.com retaliator.net are sites that is/been hosted for free or reduced price. Other domains that we are/been involved in hosting are dgpi.com, digiplay.net, xeropint.com, ionforce.com..
Not to forget the server that been free to play for over 3 years now, that been the host of BOTE 2000 and will be the host for BOTE 2001..

I think this deserveds at least a nomination to show respect to the people behind FEN and what they have done for TW.
(Why not make it a hall of fame nomination while we’re at it 😉 )

Sounds good to me, Mac. He’s personally been a huge help to us here at The Stardock.

I thought I should do these awards before the more official awards are announced. At least with my pickings, they are only worth the value of my opinion. I have categories similar to those of the official awards, plus some of my own.

The people eligible for the awards include everyone not named EleqTrizi’T.

 

BEST BLUE PLAYER – Rawhead Rex

He builds like there is no tommorow. Somehow, he manages to get a few kills in after he’s done upgrading 30 planets. A farmer if I’ve ever seen one. A farmer with a big gun.

BEST RED – Ripclaw

He knows all the tricks because he’s been an underling in the two greatest corps of all time, DE! and the Black Knights.

BEST HUNTER – Hellcat

Come on, he kills like his name is Manson. Does he even know how to do anything else?

TEAM PLAYER – Peacemaker

He’s played on many, many corps. He gets along well with people and can take orders or dish ’em. I hear about a lot of things, and one thing I’ve never heard is a complaint about Peacemaker.

SPORTSMANSHIP – Peacemaker

I had to include this one. Peacemaker is the model player for all the little brats terrorizing us Sysops and fellow players on a daily basis. A perfect gentleman.

TEACHER – Guardian

The only person I know of that holds master classes in TW.

TWGS SITE – Intergate (bbs.intergate.cx)

Fact is, when I think of places to play in my spare time, the first place I would check is Intergate. They have a hot connection, and now that there is some more horsepower in their TWGS machine, it’s got a nice, fast feel to it. Aitvo is sysop supreme. He even wrote the Fusion GS software that front-ends the TWGS.

TWGS GAME-OP – Timberwolf

He promotes hard, runs good games with good edits. I haven’t received too many complaints about a Timberwolf-run TW game. Matter of fact, I can’t remember seeing any…

HALL OF FAME – Hosem

He was a badass, be glad he’s gone.

BEST WEBSITE – Dragon’s Elite

This one tore me up. How can I even THINK about giving the award to anyone but Mana Knight? But fact is Mana Knight keeps wasting his life in school instead of giving us website updates. Plus, Guardian has the coveted guides of Shell’s that I was trying to get. Bastard.

MOST USEFUL WEBSITE – Hekate’s TWLINKS

I actually visit Hekate’s more often than anyone’s. But the fact is, you can’t give a link site the best award. That would be like giving Altavista an award. Still, the site makes for a great interchange for TW information on the internet.

BIGGEST PROBLEM – William Smith, iDSO

“April 16, 2000 – iDSO, known for it’s great information and technology prowess, today announced the Anal Examinor 2.0. With this product, iDSO will forever change the way bodily excrement is extracted from the rear cavity of today’s women and homosexual men. This, coupled with an alliance with mamma.com, gives iDSO the unrivaled leverage needed to finally finish making their own corporate website to include something besides ‘under construction’ gif images.” – fake press release, but reads like the real ones.

MALE AND FEMALE HONOREES

FEMALE – CRUNCHER

She’s head of the beta-testing group. Without the beta testers and Cruncher, we would be much farther behind in eliminating all the bugs. We all are indebted to her, and don’t forget it.

MALE – JOHN PRITCHETT, new owner of TW2002

All hail the king! Without JP, our game would be dead, and no one would be here reading this today. He constantly releases bug fixes, rewrites entire chunks of code and stays up late many nights just so we can play. On top of that, he’s easily accessible and answers his email. What a guy!

Look for the nomination process of the 4th Annual TW Awards to begin by early next week at the latest!I know a lot of people have been waiting for this and the time is drawing near! The awards committee needs to do some finalization on the categories and once that is complete I will create the site and set it up for the nomination process. I don’t have specifics on how long the nominations will last, but as soon as I do, the dates will be posted!
