[Futuretek BBS](telnet://bbs.futuretek.net) has reset it's game today. While most of the settings are normal, the one setting that isn't is the **Unlimited Turns** this game is offering. As Hosem said, "Where do I insert my quarter?" Futuretek offers a 10 day Trial account and is $5 a month.

[The TradeWars WWW Forum](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.azi.com/forum/forum.htm) Is now up! This is a new Web forum which does not require Forums, Java, and the like. Finally, all of you Lynx lovers, (I'm one of them) have something we're not left out of. :) Hats off to Gypsy and his [War Room](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.azi.com/) for pulling off such a feat. I'm sorry for not finishing the Stories' Guidelines yet. But unfortunately, I've had two tests this week: 1 in Trig and 1 in Biology that have been eating up all my time. With some luck, I'll have it done this weekend. [Family entertainment](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.fament.com/) Will be holding a TradeWars showdown Tomorrow! Be prepared to show up and use all your resources to make way for FEN's Reset Saturday!

[Nik's Tradewars heaven](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.css.tayloru.edu/%7Emchiam/tradewars) will be releasing a TradeWars Screen saver today! According to Nik, it will be posted on his page at 6:00 PM Tonight. He gave me a copy to put up myself before then, but he sent it to me UUencoded, and I've been having trouble downloading it from the University so I can transfer it to .ZIP. Guess you'll have to wait till Nik puts it up. :) The File Size is 800k.

> Stories coming soon I'm almost finished with the latest story in the Snake Saga. It should be premiering Tommorrow or Wedsday. I'll also be adding guidelines so that you guys can submit your own stories, so starting thinking about them now! FEN announces Re-bang Date [Family Entertainment Network](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.fament.com/) has announced their new Re-bang date! It's set for Febuary 14th, Valentine's day at 10:00am CST! So now you guys can explain to your Girl friends why your playing tradewars instead of spending the day with them! There will be a meeting in the teleconfrence prior to the bang, to discuss last minute settings. New MBBS Tradewars .DLL Aparently, a new .DLL has been released for MBBS TW. Acording to Jake, this is a BETA .DLL, and FEN looks like it's going to be beta testing this version. It looks like this beta **SHOULD** fix the god awfull Fed-com bleed, along with the Caping ships at SD bug. I'm still not certain if this Beta is available to the public. If you know wether it is or isn't, drop me a line please. MPB.COM holds "HellWeek" [Miller's Party Board](telnet://mpb.com) is holding "HellWeek." You get 500mil in the bank and 500mil on your person a day until Ferrengal is taken. (*shrug*) Also, the moderator is going to be Shark, the Author of TW_ATS.

**Nik's TW heaven link** I screwed up a link yet again! I accidentally switched the a and the i in the link to them. [Go visit them now!](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.css.tayloru.edu/%7Emchiam/tradewars) Fortunately, Eleq caught this, so I could fix it. Please bear with me on this. Even though my computer is up here, the fact that I only have a shell account makes it all the more harder to test stuff out and fix it. Please [Tell me](mailto:Joel1@cris.com) of broken links!

**Nik's Trade Wars 2002 Heaven** Nik has revamped this Original TW site, and Renamed it [Nik's TradeWars Heaven](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.css.tayloru.edu/%7Emchiam/TradeWars). Right now, many of the things planned for the site are not yet up, as Nik is on vacation. But I do find it odd that they have a TradeWars Yellow Pages. Is Nik trying to put me out of buisness? :) **Fament to reset soon.** [Family Entertainment](telnet://bbs.fament.com) is set to rebang their game soon. The current game apparently has been won my Mav, and fament is looking to rebang as soon as the new .DLL for TradeWars MBBS comes out this week. (There will be a one week warning before the game starts.) We'll tell you when it happens.

My gosh. I had a marathon of working on this site today! I can feel the radiation poisoning caused by my monitor already. :) But it wasn't all Good. The page is now 50% smaller thanks to [Website Garage.](https://web.archive.org/web/19980000000000*/https://www.websitegarage.com/) (An EXCELLENT Site!) I would suggest anyone who has a website visit this page. Here's what's smaller on the page: - Main Union logo: Was 20k, now 10k. It actually looks a bit better also. (No longer transparent though.) - TW Web Ring pic: Was 35k!!! Now only 5k. I wonder if Gypsy knows about this? - Lunar: Was 18k, now about 10k.

BOTE'99 is coming up soon! There are going to be a lot of different things than last year. First off, the date for it is going to be around Late February/Early March to help out those who can't play in the summer. Currently, it looks like Outlaw will be the BBS hosting this years tournament.

Well, we finally made our 1000th hit today. Thanks for all your support people. :)

- E-mail: You can now e‑mail me from any place directly, without going to that stupid page like before. :) - Nav‑Bar: Put at the bottom of all pages. Should make navigating easier. - Listings: Has been re‑vamped and my personal pics have been added. - Stuff to do: - Make a links page. - Bring the Old news link back as soon as I'm done organizing it. - One or two more stories to be added. - Other stuff I can't think of now. **Babylon 5 Movie premieres tomorrow!** Not much has happened today, so I have to have some filler somewhere. :) For those of you out there, the Babylon 5 movie premieres tomorrow. I'll certainly be watching it, so you should too! It comes on TNT at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.
