Java based helper
by Mana Knight on 2000-12-07 | Categories: TradeWars News, Helpers/Scripts, TradeWars.org
Goosemoose has announced that it has the world's first web based tradewars helper. However, they forgot to mention that it's also the world's first web based helper that **DOESN'T WORK.** At least not for me. [Try it out.](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.goosemoose.com/tradewars/connecttw.htm) Maybe you have better luck.
Addium - I actually have gotten it work after a reboot.
Add Another Linux Freak to the Mix
by Mana Knight on 2000-12-06 | Categories: TradeWars.org, TWGS Servers, TWGS Software
EleqTrizi'T, the leader of his own cult, has decided to move the [Home Sector](/)to linux. It will now be running using Andrew "Linux Guy" Wyatt's [FusionGS](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.intergate.cx/) to give it a more BBS feel. TradeWars will be unaffected, but you'll have access to extra things such as possibly other games and a teleconference.
Great, just what I need. Another Linux freak who will sit around for hours discussing the finer points about how [User Friendly](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.userfriendly.org/) is greatest work of satirical writing since the great bard Shakespeare put quill to parchment. At least I get a teleconference out of the deal.

Nav Haz Unltd. Back in Action
by Fuseblown on 2000-12-04 | Categories: TradeWars News, TradeWars.ws
My first corporation that I joined/co-founded has come back for some more action at the most recent league game. The corporation currently consists of myself, DarkOne, Darth Vader, Deathwing (all 4 are core members), Illusion, and Guardian (both of which are affiliates for the current league game). We used to play over at [Pisces Network](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.piscessoft.com) for about 8-9 months before we began to spread out more in the whole TW scene. We are looking to form a team for the USO coming up in February. At the moment only the core members are going to be on the tourny team and we're working on prospecting for two more people to join up for the upcoming tournament. If you're interested, drop me an e-mail defining your skills and knowledge, etc. and we will take you into consideration.
Current TW League Game
by Fuseblown on 2000-12-04 | Categories: TradeWars News, TWGS Servers, TradeWars.ws
The current league game is underway over at [Silver Wings](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.silverwingstwgs.com). So far there has been a good turnout and if you haven't started in there, you still have this week to get in there! The game will close after Saturday and will no longer be excepting entries. If you're not already a member of the TW League, I suggest you head over to [their site](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.twleague.com) and sign-up today!

The TW League section of the site is going to be temporarily unavailable. I want to get it updated and revamp it a little bit. It should be back up soon.

TW-Extreme has been launched by The Ghost and Cybershadow. Here's what the Ghost has to say: "There is a new TW site. There are still a few bugs that need to be worked out, but hey we are getting there. The address is [https://www.tw-extreme.com](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.tw-extreme.com). Come by and see us." This could be a promising site.
United States Open 2001!
by Fuseblown on 2000-12-01 | Categories: TradeWars News, TradeWars.ws
I'm sure you all remember that cold dreary night a long time ago... The date, February 14, 1929. The place, 2122 North Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois. The event...THE ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE! Of course you don't remember that silly, it was **1929**. But you can experience it for yourself, Trade Wars-style at the USO '01! This time, Al "Scarface" Capone and Jack McGurn aren't the masterminds or driving forces behind the massacre...it's Bad Girl (USO Founder) and Guardian (Moderator)! One of the major tournaments in the Trade Wars community has been announced and it's on its way! Get your teams together and get ready for a slaughter.

Hey, Hey, Hey
by Fuseblown on 2000-12-01 | Categories: People, TradeWars.ws, Site News
Happy Birthday to Fuseblown! Hey, that's me! And that also means that there won't be much going on here at TRADEWARS.WS over the weekend. The only time you will see me at the computer will be a little bit tomorrow during the day and for about an hour or so for the League Game on Saturday. Everyone have a good weekend and I'll be back on Monday with a big update. Until then...
