EleqTrizi'T has posted some very interesting [**news**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?) over at [**Home Sector**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?). TW account crackers, BEWARE! Word is there have been hack attacks happening recently and still occurring up until this weekend. The 'Top Gun' game over at [**Silver Wings**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.alaweb.com/%7Efreespirit1/index.html) is now underway. I decided to be a part of the game and must say that I'm having fun playing. I haven't been playing games that much recently, so it's something to help me get back on my feet. Even though I died today while SSM'ing and making my dinner at the same time (big mistake), I think I'll stick with it until I use my other three lives. Only a month until the [**Haunted Halloween Tournament**](/files/Site%20Caps/BooInc/news.html)! Does anyone have the ballz to stand up to the already signed up competition of KARMA and Rolo's crew? The TW League section is up, I got some information there...I will add the rest when I get back Sunday night or on Monday morning. I will be in PA for the rest of today and most of tomorrow/tomorrow night, so things will be slow here at TRADEWARS.WS until I get back.

[**The Den**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.webcntrl.com/timberwolf/) officially shut down today. I want to commend Timberwolf on running an enjoyable server and hopefully the [**Den**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.webcntrl.com/timberwolf/) will return in the near future. Another reminder to reserve your rooms at the Excalibur for the [**TW Convention**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?tw.htm) from October 20-22! Rooms are going fast and air fares are going up...don't wait too long to book your trip or you will miss out on the first annual [**Trade Wars 2002 Convention**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?tw.htm)! All the cool people will be there!! I should be receiving a list of nominees for the open board member position for the Trade Wars League. That information will be posted on the **TW League page** here at TRADEWARS.WS. I will be working on the **TW League** section of the site tonight and it should be completed and active before midnight EST. Not much site news today, I've been real busy at work with our company's new web site launch, so I haven't had the chance to come up with any new clever ideas <G>. Oh I do have a volunteer for co-sysop and he will probably get the position. Darth Vader from my old corporation NAV HAZ UNLTD. on the Pisces Network is going to be setting up a Star Wars game for the server launch sometime late next week. It will replace the 'Red Alert' game that I was going to bang previously. Be on the lookout for that! EleqTrizi'T has posted a [**review**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?twattac.htm) of the newest version of [**ATTAC**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.tw-attac.com) which now has graphical mapping AND supports REXX scripting!! Check out Eleq's [**review**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?twattac.htm) for more information! [**Silver Wings**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.alaweb.com/%7Efreespirit1/) is banging an every man for himself game called 'Top Gun' tonight at 8:00PM CST. They are giving away [**prizes**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/message/TradeWarriors/306) to the trader who can withstand the competition.

Important message regarding the TW Community, from Stonewall in the [**TW2002 eGroup**](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/groups/tw2002/): ```text I had a user hack another players computer and CBY him three times while he was online on my server. (I let him create excess accounts to talk to him to hold him online) This player is using the IP 212.179.174.106 from bezint.net. I accidently shut down the program I was fingering him and logging him with so I dont have the complete route info. This is an overseas IP. This player says that isn't his personal account but none the less it is a start. He ran several port scans on me, but was unable to do anything. He is also causing havoc with another server I am talking with currently. All sysops and servers please take note!" Stonewall ``` Apparently some other systems got hit as well, so operators and players alike, be on the lookout! In other news, Timberwolf will be shutting down The Den TWGS around 10am Friday morning. The current games will be moved to other servers, players take note and keep an eye on the Den's [web site](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.webcntrl.com/timberwolf/) for more information. Ditched the File Vault section for the time being...it will come back at a later time. I also added the TW League section to the web site. This page will contain news/updates, interviews, future plans, etc. for the [Trade Wars League](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.twleague.com). I will be working on the content for that page today and it should be there sometime this afternoon.

Snips of news from the past few days. New v3.0 of [ATTAC](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.tw-attac.com/) has been released. It includes a new graphical map and more importantly, the ability to use [ZOC scripts!](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.thestardock.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?zoc.htm) This means that all you people who [get around ZOC without registering it](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/message/tw2002/15710) will now start looking for ways to get around ATTAC without registering it. In other news, Hekate has started to talk like a [late night infomercial.](/files/Site%20Caps/TWLinks/index.html) Oddly enough, the phrase, "Wow, that's amazing!" is not seen. [The Den](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.webcntrl.com/timberwolf/) and Avalon are closing down. Whatever. [Linux Guy](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.intergate.cx/) has released v2.07 of his Fusion software, used to play BBS door games through Linux

Click [here](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.twleague.com/game0930.html) for the current registration list. Just recently, I volunteered my services to the TWLeague. I will be posting updates, conducting interviews, and covering other league news‑related items here on TRADEWARS.WS. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to restructure the main page for these updates. I will have this figured out by tonight or tomorrow, at the latest. The first league interview will be conducted and posted within the next couple of days, with another to follow shortly thereafter. Keep checking back for these new updates!

Well lets see what is going on in the TW world. Egroups has been flooded to death with flame wars. And what was that Walmart shit you put in Egroups, Timber? We have lost some egroups subscribers...still wiping the tears after our beloved Mana made a quick stage left exit... Eleq would like to thank all those who sent flowers to his untimely Bote death. The Eulogy given by Naz left the Church of the Later Day Twarriors with not a dry eye in it. We will miss Eleq but he will be reincarnated at HHT! Speaking of the HHT...Come on people!!!! Sign up those teams TODAY! As of now only 2 teams have signed up 5 Bad Guys and a Bad Girl and Karma. Don't be lame sign up today and kick some booty! I was reading egroups today..or should I say wading thru the messages and saw that Barnhill brought the PODBAT out of retirement. I dont think I have seen that in 3 years. If you havent seen his PODBAT...check out Crunchers page of pics I believe you can see Barney and his PODBAT! Well Timber is taking down his server. Nope Timber is putting it back up. Nope Timber is taking down his server. Nope Timber is thinking of getting DSL and putting it back up...Stay tune to the Timber saga of will the DEN stay or go! Last but not least if you havent checked out Fuseblown's page..please do it is done very well. The addy is d OK this is the last thing can we stop having all those damn polls in egroups, I feel like I am being stalked by Gallop!

First of all I want to thank EleqTrizi'T for posting TRADEWARS.WS on the [](/)site update list and for the [](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://twgs.tradewars.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?champs.htm) that he has given his donors and also game winners at Home Sector. Second of all, there has been a lot of talk in the [](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.egroups.com/groups/tw2002/) lately about the restructuring of the [](https://web.archive.org/web/20000000000000*/https://www.twleague.com)'s points system for next year. They are also appointing a new board member to replace Lithe, with the possibility of adding two more board members in the near future. If you have any good ideas for the League, visit their web site and let them know! Any help or suggestions are appreciated and at least considered! Don't forget that [](/files/Site%20Caps/TWLinks/index.html) is banging it's fourth new game tonight at 5:00PM Eastern! Make sure you check it out! The other three games on the server are also brand new and only a three days old at most! ([](/files/Site%20Caps/TWLinks/index.html)) As you may have noticed, I kicked the number of updates for each section here on the main page to one. I may be adding yet another update section in the near future, but that remains to be seen for the moment. Either way, this makes reading (and editing) the main page much easier. I added links to the specific archives for each update section right below the main header here on the main page as well. That way when the archives page begins to fill up you can find what you're looking for a little faster. If anyone has any ideas that you would like me to add to the site, drop me a line and I'll take them into consideration. I've been adding some things here and there to the subsequent pages. The TWGS page has been updated with a tentative game list for its launch sometime in the near future. I'm still working on the TWPA page and I also have another pretty big project that I'm going to work on for the site. This second project will probably not be completed until later this Fall. Just a heads up on the site's future.

As she steps up on her new soap box, looks around and says...Ever hear the saying "Beating a Dead Horse to Death?" Well if your a member of E-groups then you have been bombarded with mail from a couple of people that have the 3 B Syndrome...Babble, Bicker, Boring! I think it is time we all unite and attack these people who dont know when to shut up or go private and remove there DELETE key and then spam the heck out of them. Or maybe they should make a rule that you can only post twice a day and no more then 50 words...sorry Timber I know that rule would hurt you also, but its time to get UGLY here! WOW! I just noticed that Mana had my initals monogrammed on this Soap Box in Pleather mind you...what a guy! Anyways, I feel strongly as many others do that if you want to sit and write back and forth calling each other names, bitching, dissecting each others body parts, etc that you take it to private mail or set up another e-group forum. I know everyone likes an audience but this crowd is tired of the stale popcorn and flat sodas...yes Guard that is S-O-D-A and not pop!

[Klink's World](/files/Site%20Caps/TWLinks/index.html) is going to be rebanging four games over the weekend. Deadly Sin, hosted by Hekate, just started yesterday. If you want a game with some REAL interesting edits, check out that one. The second game, Bring It On, will bang tonight at 7:00PM Eastern. Lock and Load will bang tomorrow night at 7:00PM Eastern, and the final game, Heaven or Hell, by the Reverend, will bang on Monday at 5:00PM Eastern. Check 'em out!! Also, don't forget that [Frogland](telnet://bbs.frogland.net) is rebanging game G tonight at 6:00PM Pacific. It will be a money game with one person per corporation! Did some updates. Started the Server List up finally, so now I need all of you operators out there to send me your information! For now, just e-mail it until the Server Submission form is up and going. Also put some new information on the Game Server page. Still working on the TWPA stuff, trying to come up with a design that I'm happy with and then that will be rolling this week as well! There has to be a bloody form mailer out there somewhere that works...
