Sorry about not opening Fred Wreck's House Party last night folks...got off-track and was not around a computer to get to it on time.
I won't be around tonight either, but I will rebang it tomorrow, July 25th at 11pm EDT. Again, apologies, I'll get it tomorrow. ;)

Fred Wreck's House Party Over & Rebangs!
by Fuseblown on 2002-07-23 | Categories: TradeWars News, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
Corp [1] has won Fred Wreck's House Party! They dominated this game from the start and it should have been closed earlier.
This time around I'm going to make some changes. ;)
Game will rebang tonight at 11pm EDT. Sectors have been up'd to 20,000 instead of 5,000. Corp limit will be 1 player per corp. So this is meant to be a solo escapade this time. Death limit will be 2...game will close in 2 days to new players.
Trying to make it a little more interesting. ;)
Again:
*Game bangs at 11pm EDT*

The MASSIVE game on the Home Sector TWGS is now over! Prestone single-handedly took this game on his own! Congrats to Prestone!
I will have a winners page up sometime soon and he will be the first winner at the Home Sector since it has been reinstated!
Red Alert 2 coming soon!
This Weekend..
by Fuseblown on 2002-07-12 | Categories: TradeWars News, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
I'm going to visit Bad Girl and Guardian this weekend...this means that if the server goes down, I won't be around to put it back up. :(
Cross your fingers...
Next weekend I will be tearing it apart and finding a solution to the freezing problem...once I get it fixed I'll have a League game starting as well as some rebangs and new games coming up once it is stable.
Again, hopefully nothing happens, if something does, I apologize in advance...and I'll put it back up at NOON EDT on Monday!
Take care and have a good weekend. ;)
Server Back Up After Crash
by Fuseblown on 2002-06-30 | Categories: TradeWars News, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
Okay, now I'm convinced it's memory. ;)
There were 9 people online when the server went down late last night...my computer runs at 105 MB of RAM before anyone logs onto the TWGS. Again, I run web development projects off of here, so I have Apache, MySQL, etc. running as well.
I have one 128MB stick and a 256MB stick in this machine...128 is first, if there were nine people on last night when it crashed, that's about 105MB + 27MB which takes me onto my second stick (the 256). It looks like there a problem with the 256 stick. I'll mess around with this some more.
**But for now the server is back online!**
Another Game Opening Today!
by Fuseblown on 2002-06-29 | Categories: TradeWars News, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
By request, I will be banging the MASSIVE game. This was one of the games that was in progress when the server was taken down this past Fall. There was a nice battle going on between GoodGuys and Boo! Inc. Hopefully they'll pick that back up and we'll have a good game on our hands.
**Game Start: 6:0 PM EDT Telnet Address: [216.169.164.147](telnet://216.169.164.147)**
Okay Server Locked Up...
by Fuseblown on 2002-06-28 | Categories: TWGS Software, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
And I know what it is...I was using VNC a little earlier to see if that would have any effect on performance...and not suprisingly it did...maxed cpu and kept it floating around 95-100% most of the time I was using it.
I apologize for any lag that was caused and for booting any users that were online, but I needed to make sure I knew for sure what was happening. ;)
From now on I'll use Win2k Terminal Service...everything should be good to go now. Tootles.
Just a Quick Note..
by Fuseblown on 2002-06-26 | Categories: TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
BTW for those of you who started playing games on the server...if something does go wrong with the server, I'm normally at the office (been here almost 15 hours/day since we started), but some nights (like tonight) when I head home early, I won't be able to get the server back up until 9am EDT the next day...there's about an 8 hour window when I'm not around.
I live an hour away and can't get to it fast...once I move closer to my office, I'll be able to take care of things right away...and will even have monitoring setup to watch TWGS in case it goes down. If it does go down, I'll get a page and can fix it fast. But not until I get moved into the area. :(
Gonna setup some other measures to let me remote reboot the server, etc. as soon as I can.
For now just bear with me if something does happen. ;)
Home Sector TWGS Now Online!
by Fuseblown on 2002-06-26 | Categories: Site News, TradeWars News, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
**The Home Sector TWGS is now back online!**
However, if the server begins it's freezing up phases once again, I'll have to move it over to another server until I get the problem fixed once and for all. It should be good...the computer hasn't frozen in 3 days now...when it used to do it daily.
Telnet to: [**216.169.164.147**](telnet://216.169.164.147) to access it! This will be changed to twgs.thestardock.com sometime this week.
Current games include: Stardock Classic, One Love, Retribution, and SupaTrizi'T (dedicated to the one and only TW gOD)! All are old Stardock BBS favorites!
** *Look for Red Alert 2 coming soon!!* **
