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. 🙁

You may be experiencing some slow connections tonight and possibly into tomorrow and the next couple of days. Our main Internet pipe provider for our ISP is currently overloading their DS3 circuit that our T1 connection is running on. Things just got bad tonight because of the cable modem and DSL subscribers that they just acquired over the weekend. It’s a college town, lots of kiddies downloading pr0n and mp3z…you know the deal.

Sorry for any inconveniences folks. Bear with us…we’re all in this together..

The Ghost over at TW Extreme has redesigned the site and it’s not back online! Look excellent, go check it out. 😀

Sorry about not opening Fred Wreck’s House Party last night folks…got off-track and was not around a computer to get to it on time.

I won’t be around tonight either, but I will rebang it tomorrow, July 25th at 11pm EDT. Again, apologies, I’ll get it tomorrow. 😉

Corp [1] has won Fred Wreck’s House Party! They dominated this game from the start and it should have been closed earlier.

Again:
Game bangs at 11pm EDT
Telnet to: 216.169.164.147

Tomorrow evening at 6:00 pm EDT I will be banging the old unlimited favorite, Fred Wreck’s House!

Lots of ship and planet edits! Colonists are limited though!
