The Reverend is going to open a 5k version of my new Back to Basics game at twgs.thereverend.org this Friday at 9pm eastern time. It’s 3 traders/corp, 5k sectors, 2k turns, 2 million starting colonists.

Hope to see a good turnout…

Since “Another Game” has been postponed, and I’m sure many of you were looking forward to playing a game this weekend, I’m gonna be opening a new game featuring all new CK Edits.

3/corp, and you’re gonna have to choose between an aggressive red start, or a longer term blue buildup — both will be feasible strategies.

Basics are 20k sectors, 2k turns, best gridding ship is 3 tpw. Plenty of colos, good planet production, citadel upgrades are pretty fast, but also very expensive. Game is NOT MBBS (the mbbs atmo cannon is outrageous, IMO), but very low rob setting means a red can still get back the credits from buydowns.

Game Starts 2pm eastern time on Saturday 6/5/04. Extern is midnight eastern.

Running a TWGS on a cable modem has it’s problems. I had the same IP for almost two years! But now it’s changed, most likely from the switch when Comcast bought out AT&T.

DNS will update soon, but for now, telnet to 67.181.158.180 to access the TWGS.

Effective immediately, The Lost Traders Tavern will operate under a new part time schedule. The server will only be available between 10pm and 11pm eastern time. Extern will run at 10:30pm.

This is intended to allow people to be free from worrying about the game for 23 hours a day, and lead a normal life, while retaining the ability to stay competitive. Please feel free to send feedback to brian_c_massey@yahoo.com

Here’s a review of the TWGS. Here’s a link to two Trade Wars related projects, which even includes a downloadable zip file. Remember TW_ATS and it’s maker, Badhouse Software? Lots of porn to be had at Badhouse.com these days.

What about TWAR. Kind of crooked that you can still order it, tho it hasn’t been updated in SIX YEARS!

hELLCAT’s cap logs

— updated 4/22 —

The winning corp in this game of TW CHESS will each receive a free CK License to use the TWX scripts in the CK Combat Pack.

Also, I’d like to reiterate… you ARE allowed to dupe within the same corp… so all 4 accounts can be played by 1 person if you so choose.

— end of update —

TW CHESS 2004 will open this Saturday, the 24th of April, at 12 noon eastern time.

Standard TW Chess v2 edits will be used, with standard TW Chess rules. The server will run TWGS version 3.11.55 for the duration of the game.

4/corp, 800 turns, 5k sectors

Corp CEOs will need to register in advance so I can set up your corps/planets. The registration form is now online at https://tavern.homeip.net
