Updated the donation list. Added two new entries. Nothing will probably be updated over the weekend. Today is my birthday and I'm having a gathering of people at my residence in Rockville, MD. Again, look for the new TRADEWARS.WS design January 1, 2001!!

We've completed a rough draft of a new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) regarding the Tavern that can be found at StarDock. The Tavern FAQ covers a *lot* of useless information regarding some of the options in the Tavern. However, it also covers information on how to use the Grimy Trader to track down your opponents and how to shield yourself from the Grimy Trader's prying eyes. The FAQ has been updated to version 1.03 and is now available from the [Library](https://web.archive.org/web/20010227051021/https://playground.homeip.net/library/) section's table of contents.

MajorBBS, Fusion Style
by EleqTrizi'T on 2000-11-20 | Categories: TWGS Software, TWGS Servers
I had this great idea the other day for Aitvo. I said, "create a version of [Fusion GS](https://web.archive.org/web/20001214215000/https://www.intergate.cx/) that mimicks the operation of a MajorBBS." And lo-and-behold, I return from out of town and [he's doing just that!](https://web.archive.org/web/20001214215000/telnet://bbs.intergate.cx). Linux man extraordinare and creator of Fusion GS will soon have an MBBS clone that won't cost a dime! I plan to get in on the programming action by coding a teleconference that will also mimick MBBS. Aitvo be da man!
The Scripts Strike Back!

The Script formally known as [Space Ghost](/files/Site%20Caps/BooInc/news.html) didst harken [a challenge](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/message/tradewars_2002/934) to those who would accept: "I have Blocked off SD in an unbeatable Script... get to StarDock..." [Guess who won?](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/message/tradewars_2002/951) After round one, the script did proclaim: "Oh wait, did I [say unbeatable?](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/message/tradewars_2002/963) I meant it was beatable! this new script is unbeatable!" And thus begain Round two. Guess who [won again?](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/message/intergate/545) So what have we learned today kids? If computers take over the world, at least we can still beat them at TradeWars.
The Good Old Days Are Back!

Ever long for the old days when bread was a nickel and a coke (its not caleed POP either) was a dime (no they weren't in my day either..just go with the thought here) well that "Ancient Old Sysop" over at Intergate has brought a taste of old time Tradewars back. Go check out www.intergate.cx and relive the days of MBBS Tradewars.
The Deep South is rocking! Stonewall rebanged the Star Wars game and the place is packed. This has to be by far the most popular game over at the Deep South and lots of fun. Check out thedeepsouth.yi.org.
Over at Home Sector the World Famous Title game rebanged and its another good one. Great competition and nice edits. Thanks Eleq for bringing it back!
Look soon for the Valentine's Day Massacre (USO) Web page to be coming online. Guardian and I have been working on it and its almsot ready to go. (Just waiting for our graphic from the Graphic King Eleq ..hint ..hint) This game will be a bloodbath according to Guardian who this year will be the USO moderator.
Rather Be Photoned Dept.

Thanks to Speedy for this hilarious one...
When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find an ill man curled up next to a motor home beside spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he had ever had.
