Timberwolf has gotten a new domain name for his site. The TW Gazette can now be reached at [https://www.twgazette.com](/category/TW_Gazette)! It seems that Timber has an ongoing Trade Wars soap opera...check out the site to see who the first lucky group is! Silver Wings has also received their own domain name...they will be reached at [https://www.silverwingstwgs.com](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.silverwingtwgs.com) within the next day or so. Viva Las Vegas! The [TW2002 Convention](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/TWCon2k.htm) officially begins today! I want a postcard! Speedy told me he will send me one...I guess he's my only friend . TW League Update The voting process for the new league board member has finally ENDED!!! Congratulations to **Guardian** for being the winner! Macahan came in 2nd, Space Ghost 3rd, and Dark Helmet was 4th. The League may be adding two new board positions in the future, but that has yet to be decided. More information on that and more as it comes in on the wire! A new league game will begin on the last Saturday of this month (Oct. 28th). HHT will be starting soon after this and the league game will probably lack in players a little bit. If you're down on the bottom the rankings along with me (I have good reasons for that), then this might be your chance to gain a few more points to catch up! Send registrations for the next game to [lithe@twleague.com](mailto:lithe@twleague.com).

Viva Las Vegas! The [TW2002 Convention](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/TWCon2k.htm) officially begins tomorrow! A couple of people are heading out today and it should be a fun time! Those of you that missed out (including me) are going to miss a fun time. Don't fret! Just start planning now for next year's convention to be held in Virginia Beach, Va. in the beginning of October! If you get your rooms and tickets now things will be REAL cheap! Silver Wings is going to stay alive. I think the fighting finally died down in the TradeWarriors group and things seem to be going a little smoother now. The only thing that made me stay in that group were the female TWarriors and their talk about leather and whips <G>. TW League Update The voting process ends tonight at midnight! Get your votes in now if you haven't already! You can check out nominee interviews here at the [TW League web site](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.twleague.com/survey.html). Only members of the league may vote for the new board member. Send all votes to [lithe@twleague.com](mailto:lithe@twleague.com). May the best candidate win!

The Server List has been the topic of discussion lately with Soul/Hell Razor's recent retirement from [Silver Wings](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.alaweb.com/%7Efreespirit1/Main.html). Don't fret, it's staying right where it is. I am however going to be changing it around a little bit and adding new information to be listed on the server pages. This should not change or effect the current ratings in any way. It will just provide players with more information about each of the servers. Don't be suprised if you check out the site sometime in the near future and it looks completely different. I'm going to restructure the page layout and the way I display certain things, so big changes could possibly happen. I'm going to try and keep it as close as possible to the current design, but ya never know!

EleqTrizi'T is a damn genius. Check out the [splash page](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org) over at the [Home Sector]https://www.thestardock.com/. It's not often that people come up with good ones like that. That's almost as good as his "The Home Sector is better than porno" graphics he had up in the past. Good job Eleq! HHT team to sign up was forced to drop out because of the 6 people per team rule. Soul/Hell Razor dropped from the team making it 5 people. No word on a replacement as of yet. Silver Wings **may** be shutting down in the near future (that doesn't mean they are!). More information about that on [their site](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.alaweb.com/%7Efreespirit1/TodaysNews.html). **TW League Update** The voting process has now begun!!

TWPA stuff is coming along well...shouldn't be too much longer until it is posted and ready to go. The server may be thrown back anywhere from a month to three months. I have decided not to host it from my place of employment, but to wait until I get cable modem access and run it from home. The server should be a rocking one and I can't wait to get it up there!

Supposedly Soul/Hell Razor has resigned from Silver Wings. There was a dispute in the TradeWarriors eGroup...things were thrown out of proportion, other things weren't explained, and in my opinion there was a lot of miscommunication. Should be interesting to see what happens...95% of the time people come back...you can't resist the all-mighty power that is Trade Wars :P **TW League Update** The voting process has now begun!!

Haunted Halloween Tournament starts in **14 days**! Eleven teams have signed up so far...get your team in today!

I don't use the [boomstick](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.tradewars.org/boomstick.wav) often, but some people are just attracted to it. I Found [this](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.alaweb.com/%7Efreespirit1/TodaysNews.html) today on SilverWings: "The Den finally decides to update his webpage....Welcome back Timber. I thought maybe you and Mana Knight eloped together." If I don't update, it's for two reasons: I have nothing to say or I'm busy with classes. Usually the latter. So before you start bitching, try handling two Computer science projects (One consisting of writing a C++ program that makes a postfix parser using tree structures and another using pure Assembler) all sandwiched with a crunchy Calculus 2 Exam. Because, you know, [Calc2 is really easy.](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://interval.louisiana.edu/courses/301/fall-2000-math-301_exam_hints.html#The%20second%20exam) Right now, all I feel like doing is hitting my head against my desk until I become so stupid I'll have no choice but to drop out of college and the pain will finally end. And you know what else? **NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU.** At least I don't require people to register with ICQ to view this website. It's people like you who make me want to purchase a .22 and some life insurance. Why? Because people as stupid as you can't be admitted to hell. I mean, lets think about it. Satan doesn't want stupid people in Hell, he wants them all in heaven so it'll be easier to take it over, and Hell is looking pretty atractive right now.

The second consists of Zex0s, Hoot Owl, Kestrel, Hell Razor, Madill, and BigJohn. I've heard of Peacemaker's team, but who is that second team?
