Reposted from the forums:“www.tw-cabal.com updated.  new entries in the tip’s section, the glossary, and I fixed the links in the Links and strategy pages.

One of the best resources, no doubt. I freakin’ love that site.

New copies of Dock Stock and Turns O Plenty have started. Good luck.

There are hundreds of TradeWars servers scattered across the internet, each hosting a multitude of games. Yet, the designers of the TWGS software have failed to include a way to search them all. Until now, no one has bothered to assemble a single comprehensive resource of TradeWars games.

In lieu of such a system, EleqTrizi’T and I set out to build one. Powered by PHP, PostgreSQL and Perl, the new TWGS Search Engine launched today with listings from select servers.

Every night, Eleq’s search program connects to all of the TradeWars servers in the database and refreshes the list of games. This allows us to index a massive number of games without any (human) effort required. The search engine website, coded by me, allows game searches based on 17 different game settings. Several sorted views are available. An extended display, which lists all of the information about the game, server, and other games on that server, is available, including the raw telnet session converted to HTML.

Before this system even gets off the ground, I want to make one thing perfectly clear: We are not in the business of rating SysOps or servers. Our goal is to provide open access to all SysOps and interested players, not to be a TWLeague. We will not take action against cheating SysOps or refuse to list sub-par systems. This decision comes after thorough consideration: We do not want this system to die a controversial death or become so embroiled in TW-politics that it does not function as intended.

Interested SysOps may submit their server for indexing on this page.

BOTE 2004 (that’s Battle of the Elite), will be hosted here at The Stardock this year. Finally, one of my life-long dreams, hosting the BOTE, will come to pass. Next, I plan to aquire magical abilities of turning things into beer by simply touching them, and I will be complete!

I will be posting registration pages very soon.

The sign ups for the BLaST OFF Tournament have been opened.

Game start will be announced soon.

I’ve fixed the _’s the website was placing in usernames. When you register for a game, you no longer have to use _’s instead of spaces in new accounts. Existing accounts that already have them, however, will have to keep using them until game’s end. If this is a problem, ICQ me at 7971550 and I’ll give you a hand getting a retroactive change.

This should help those with helpers/scripts registered to a specific username, and overall, not be such a pain in the ass.

Now that BG3.x is over, I will be banging a new game tonight. I’m going to call it Dock Stock, and the modifications are not too drastic. No planet mods, and some simple but popular ship mods are in place. Game will be easy to figure out, no staring through loads and loads of ships trying to figure out what’s best. The ships that were good to use before are still good to use, just easier to use.

AND NOW THE BIG NEWS!!

Tonight I’m introducing the new turn system, to be put in testing at The Stardock! Dock Stock will have a 800-per-day base, and allow you to store up to 7 days worth of turns.

Check it out tonight at 6pm Pacific!
