BOTE 2004 will open this years tournament at The Starodock on Dec. 1st, 2004! Unlike a certain tournament we agreed to host, this one is run by me, so there will be no problems.

Tourmanent rules, graphics, team pages and registration info will be forthcoming in the next few days.

To hold you over, here’s some history on the BOTE –
Original BOTE 1998
Brief 1999 BOTE info
BOTE 2000
BOTE 2001
BOTE 2002
BOTE 2003

And soon, BOTE 2004!!

We’re going to open one new game this coming Monday. Called the Envious Stare, expect 800-1000 turns, no delays, turn storage.

I have been a wee-bit slow to merge Tradewars.org and The Stardock, but the big chunk of the work is now done. You can now view a big chunk of Trade Wars history from 1997 to present in the Library.

I’m sorry, but I’m needing my workstation for other needs right now. New games will be a few weeks off, at best.

Until then, you can always use the outstanding TWGS Search to find yourself a new game.

BLaST OFF Tournament is starting today, thats Friday at 10 pm est. The server is at: telnet:thestardock.com. The games will be named by the matches. Example: Alexio Vs PHX. I will add players before game starts. GL HF, e-mail me if you need me or ICQ ME…I will be on 9 til the games start running smoothly.
