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!
4th Annual TW Awards Update

Will someone's house burn down please?
by Mana Knight on 2001-03-14 | Categories: TradeWars.org, TradeWars News
There's been a very big lack of news lately. Most other sites have resourted to [tell about their latest TV appearance](/post/465), or [who just joined their corporation](/category/TW_Gazette). (Speaking of which, myself and rest of the [worthlessbastard.com staff](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.worthlessbastard.com/) will be holding a worthless chat this Sunday at 8:00 Eastern.)
But I have a proposal: Somebody do something horrible to their house. Have it burn down, abducted by aliens, have your server melt down in a freak overclocking accident, ANYTHING! I'm personally asking Naz to take on this mission. Besides being the only Canadian I know of with no sense of humor, it would be better for something to happen to him, than say, having The Stardock's servers get blown up.
"Corporation Power" Update
by Fuseblown on 2001-03-13 | Categories: TradeWars.ws, TradeWars News
I recently called this game over due to multiple people e-mailing me and telling me the game was finished and that corporations 4/22 had won. I received an e-mail yesterday from a player who does not concede and feels the game can turn to his favor. The game will continue. I apologize for any inconveniences...the game has also been re-opened to new players.
My First World-Wide Multimedia Appearance
by Fuseblown on 2001-03-13 | Categories: TradeWars.ws, Off-Topic
If any of you are big into music like myself and like the group [**Clutch**](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.pro-rock.com/), then you know that they have a new CD out entitled "Pure Rock Fury." On this new CD you will find a multimedia video of a live performance of a previous song of theirs called "Spacegrass," which was recorded on 9/8/2000 at the [**9:30 Club**](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.930.com/) in downtown Washington, D.C.I'm actually in attendance during this performance and appear a couple of times in the video, I'm going to throw together my personal web site once again and I will have screenshots of the video on the site. I just thought it was pretty cool that they did that and I could actually see myself on a world-wide musical release. ;)
Sorry if you find this post tacky (I know I would if I weren't me, but I'm kinda excited right now, heh).
Stardock BBS Game Update
by Fuseblown on 2001-03-11 | Categories: TradeWars.ws, TWGS Servers, Site News, TradeWars News
The time limit imposed on "Red Alert" has been removed, it is now unlimited time. A player had trouble with his time not resetting. In order to prevent this from happening in the future we decided to just remove it altogether."Corporation Power" has been won by corporation(s) 4 & 22! They will be added to the site along with the winners of the first Lil'Funky game (the second Lil'Funky game is currently in progress).
Our "Big Bang Friday" two days ago was a hit. We hit 62+ people online at once! As soon as I opened the games they were flooded.
If you haven't checked out the games yet, [**do so now**](telnet://thestardock.com/)! Games L, A, R, and D are only two days old now! Still plenty of time to get in there and get rolling!
Home Sector Lists TW Contribution Page
by Timberwolf on 2001-03-09 | Categories: TW Gazette, People, TradeWars News
Eleq and Fuseblown have put together a page on the Home Sector website that contains a list of people who have made contributions to the game of Trade Wars. They include beta testers, sysops, game ops, website owners, and most importantly of all, they also mentioned Team EIS. Because without EIS, Trade Wars would have been dead long ago.
I was mentioned both as a beta tester and web site owner, though not as a game op because I op at serveral servers at one time or another. You can also see my name for beta testers if you own a TWGS and click "Help > About" and a list appears of beta testers for the TWGS.
I want to thank the Home Sector for putting up the page to recognize many individuals in the TW community that were at least partly responsible for the progress of Trade Wars. See the page right [here.](/post/566)

Lethal Lottery update
by Timberwolf on 2001-03-08 | Categories: TW Gazette, TradeWars News
I have thrown my hat into the ring for this game.Should be very interesting who I get for corpies. Who knows, I may end up with some kick ass players like Guardian or Bad Girl for my corpies...or I could end up kicking their asses from here to Virginia Beach instead <EG>.
I think this will be a lot of fun. See URL below for the Lethal Lottery site. Jackal's got a good thing going here. :)
I realize some of you have your problems with Silver Wings. Set those problems aside for one game and let's all kick some butt. Be interesting for example, to see Guardian vs. Eleq or Space Ghost vs Tweety or Medusa should they sign up. There are so many possibilities here on who teams up.
