CBS228, from Fugitives From Fate! Now, I am neither in the business of denying or confirming my identity, so Colin’s little spy escapade will have to be taken at whatever value you assign it. Thats my only comment. Thanks for playing!

Two legends of Trade Wars made an appearance in The Home Sector forums. The Last Starfighter AKA Fooman and RawHead Rex each made a few posts in the forums inquiring about the happenings of TW today. What’s funny is, Rex posted that he was surfing the net one day, thought about TW and popped into Eleq’s site. LSF did the same thing a few minutes later. What are the odds of two legends deciding they got bored and decided to check out TW on the same day? About as much as winning the Powerball lottery I guess.

Who knows, I would not be surprised if legends like Ripclaw, Darkhawk, Rolodex, Hellcat, Gaurdian, and most notably – Hosem all decide to make a return to TW in time for the BOTE.

I would like to suggest a slot be reserved in the BOTE named “Hall of Fame” for the legends to represent. I would love to see how these legendary players stack up against today’s players.

The Black Knights were one of the most dominating teams in their time. It is too bad I have not had the opportunity to play in the same game with them much other than the first WTC. But Artemis, Lord Chaos, and Maverick were in a class all by themselves with their dominating play.

Before I close out this post, I also want to mention one more legend – Cruncher. Her knowledge of the game was outstanding. Her beta testing helped make the TWGS what it is today. She is in a class all by herself and I am honored to have been part of her beta testing not long ago when we together helped run a beta server at Intergate.

Forgive me if I leave out anyone. Any ommisions are not intentional. These were just off the top of my head. Best of luck to any legends who decide to return to today’s game 🙂

Ent Editor over at The Home Sector has been exposed for the CHICKEN-shit he is with the emphasis on Chicken. CBS228 had an idea to expose him and told me how he could do it. So I agreed to participate in the expose` of Ent Editor. You can read the full story at Fugitives From Fate website. The F3 website, which started as a permacorp website, now has turned into a full fledged TW news website and CBS228 has done one hell of a job in his news. Who will be the next person to be exposed in something? Just wait. 

BOTE practice game is being held at 10pm eastern time, Wednesday July
30th at The Lost Traders Tavern (tavern.homeip.net).

This will be an OPEN game, and will NOT use the regular web based
registration.

Since this is JUST a practice game, I will be playing with my BOTE
team.

Game will close when the real BOTE opens.

The guy who does the voice for AOL, El Edwards (The Edwards?!), will now do a specialized recording just for you! Imagine, “Eleq, You BadAss Muthafunka, You’ve Got Mail!”. I plan to order soon.

The edits are now posted at Coastgames:

Also, Jerry has posted the registration form for Chess V2.

CEO’s only need to log in and sign up their team.

I’m not sure what the deadline is for registering, but the game starts August 9th, and Jerry typically likes a day or two to make sure everything is set up properly. Don’t delay, sign up today!

Jerry from Coastgames will be hosting the first game of TW Chess V2, opening on August 9th. The .TWA file is posted at coastgames, and HTML edits will be posted in the next day or two. These edits are based on the very popular Chess V1 by Res, with some improvements suggested by a wide variety of players.

Corp size for this game will be 6 instead of the traditional 4, so you can bring your BOTE team while we await the status of this year’s BOTE.

More details will be announced in the next couple of days.

You KNOW you always wanted the Ghostbusters’ Car! Better than the Batmobile!

This just in.
