Since there are a ton of League games coming up over the next two months, I’m going to put mine off for the time being. I would have to postpone it either way once again…I could not finish the edits in time to keep my game sanctioned.

My apologies.

Synack has posted a couple of scripts onto a web page for all to download…check them out.

Good to see some others getting into scripting and posting their work for others to use!

Many of you have been waiting for it, but it still may not be *completely* what you were waiting for…

The new Sysop Rules for TW League servers have been posted at the TW League site.

There are still some matters to discuss, such as the game limit per year (currently set at 2 games per year per server) and whether or not we will switch over to a new rating system.

For the remainder of the year we will run the current rating system and the reverend’s proposed rating system side-by-side and do a comparison at the end of the year to see which will work out best for us.

That’s it for now, if you want to discuss, please go to the TW League forums and post away!

I have postponed the scheduled League Game at the Home Sector for the 2nd back to August 7th instead. I thought I had posted it to start a week later, and I cannot be around to do it this Friday.

Sorry about this…

The Home Sector forums are now back up! Sorry for the delay!

Remember, this forum focuses a lot on web development and such. So if you have ANY web development questions please ask and someone will try to help you!

this year’s tradewars convention is going to be held in minneapolis, mn if there is enough interest shown.

i will be hosting the event, helping with lodging information and planning activities for the 4 days of the convention.

the proposed dates of the convention are september 18th – 21st.

hotel rates in the area seem to be pretty consistant to $89 plus tax per night, but i will also be searching for more affordable options as well.

activities to be planned may include, a visit to the mall of america, valleyfair (amusement park), fort snelling (war memorial and state park; hiking, etc…), casinos, canterbury park (horse racing/card club), science museum in st. paul, various theatres and comedy clubs, and downtown nightlife.

i’m sure there are more activities that i’m leaving out that can/will be planned for the event.

computers (at least 2) will be available at my place in case people need to run turns in games.

if we can get at least 6 people to confirm and commit to a hotel stay then we can go ahead with the actual planning.

if you are interested or need more information please let me know.

Gonna make it 3pm EDT…I realize this is very early, but hopefully the settings will keep the game slow enough for everyone to get in and have a chance.

I met Jon (Jackal) in my third Tradewars game on a small board. We didn’t say much to each other he knew I was a newbie..gave me some pointers and we went our separate ways. Many games later we met again and played and flamed each other mercifully for about a year on the bbs Evolution. Then we struck up a friendship. We found out we graduated from the same university and a kinship evolved. ( GO UCONN Huskies). Jon had a strong personality but the kindest heart of anyone I every met. If someone was in need of anything..Jon was there for them, no questions asked. But Jon had a hot temper and could flame with the best of them! (was on the receiving end of those too). I will miss the phones calls Jon made to Guard and I. He would call just to check up and make sure everything was ok.

Due to the fact that I could not connect to the administration port on the TWGS last night (due to our Cisco Pix Firewall in the office), Fred Wreck’s was not banged, yet again. 🙁
