With all of the talk of the TW Convention 2000, I have decided to double my efforts on the TWPA project. Had I made it to the convention this past weekend I would have been able to explain my idea to the group there, but for now, I have sent out an e-mail to a couple of east coast TW players with my idea and a proposal to meet to discuss the project in more detail and to get more user input and leadership (besides myself) behind the concept of the TWPA. I will be adding more people to the contact list for the TWPA in the future once there is a firm foundation established for the association (i.e., goals, plans, etc.). Revisions, added ideas, etc. can be added from there.Some of you people are jumping way ahead of me here and it’s hard to keep up. I know there are plans for a couple of other meetings in the works across the country. I would like the TWPA to be able and help make it a constant thing.

I’m hearing about a lot of good things that came out of the TW Convention 2000. Lots of ideas flowing and that’s a VERY good thing. A couple of the attendees have taken pictures and will be posting them on the ‘net sometime in the near future. With this good news, I have decided to work harder on establishing the TWPA as soon as I can (See Site Updates).

TW League Update (https://www.twleague.com)
A new league game will begin this Saturday (Oct. 28th). Send registrations for the next game to lithe@twleague.com. The server has yet to be announced…as soon as it is, TRADEWARS.WS viewers will be among the first to know!

People are finally coming back from the first annual Trade Wars 2002 Convention held in Las Vegas! Everyone has said that it was a good time and now I really regret that I missed it :(. Oh well next year will be a different story…I *will* see all of you in Virginia Beach next October!For those of you that haven’t checked out the “Days of our Silver Wings” soap opera over at the TW Gazette site, now’s a good time! It’s Timberwolf’s rendition of everything that happened in the TW2002 eGroup over the weekend. Word has it that he will be doing more as well in the near future!

The Forums are gone for now until the TWGS is up. I’m redesigning the Server List as we speak. It probably won’t be done until tomorrow once I figure out what all I want to include in the new layout. I will start to review all servers once again tomorrow and they should be finished on Monday or early Tuesday. People aren’t going to use it when they have EIS and eGroups to complain and gripe on <G>. I will bring it back however for my TWGS support, etc.

Intergate is rebanging four games starting tonight at 6pm EST, two of them are brand new! Aitvo wants us to fill the server so let’s see what we can do!Oh the flames have started again. It seems that when certain people enter the TW2002 eGroup the proverbial substance hits the fan. Hard to tell how long this one will last. I’m staying out of it this time. I have better things to do.

Word has it that Hekate took a digital camera to Las Vegas for the convention this weekend! Pictures will be posted on the TWcon2k site as they get the chance in between winning lots of money! (Space Ghost is up $350!). It’s good to hear that some people are having fun out there. Wait until they get home to the 200+ messages waiting in their mailboxes from this weekend’s battle!

Timberwolf has gotten a new domain name for his site. The TW Gazette can now be reached at https://www.twgazette.com! 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 within the next day or so.

Viva Las Vegas! The TW2002 Convention officially begins today! I want a postcard! Speedy told me he will send me one…I guess he’s my only friend <sniff>.

TW League Update (https://www.twleague.com)
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.

There’s only 12 days until the Haunted Halloween Tournament starts, so if you haven’t gotten in a team yet, start looking. Already, 9 teams are signed up so it’ll be a healthy dose of competition for anyone.

Also, this weekend Las Vegas is host to the first annual Tradewars Convention! I wasn’t able to make it this year becuase SCHOOL IS JUST TOO MUCH FUN RIGHT NOW! But congradulation to everyone who could make it.

I have decided that the Server List will get a complete overhaul. The rating system will basically be the same, but I will provide more facts and information about the server and its games on their respected pages. This redesign will be completed by the end of the weekend and should debut on Monday if all goes well. I need time to go back through all of the servers and update the information and get all of the new information that I need to complete the pages. I will be contacting those of you that have submitted your server to me.

Check It
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!

Viva Las Vegas! The TW2002 Convention 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 TRADEWARS.WS or at the TW League web site. Only members of the league may vote for the new board member. Send all votes to 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. 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.
