I just wanted to be safe and hear back from JP before reopening the game.

The reason it’s 9pm tonight is because I will be gone most of the day and evening and won’t have Internet access to be online whenever the game goes back up. I’d like to be around just in case. 😉

Waiting for the official word from EIS before I go ahead and do anything…

Basically, here’s the situation…whenever someone is hitting a sector fig that does not belong to them, they are being booted to the main TWGS menu. This problem has happened before…both on a server I used to gameop at and also at the Stardock when I was a sysop there.

I’ll wait to see what the verdict is on how to fix it…if there’s any possible way to fix it without a rebang, I’ll go that route…if it comes to a rebang, then I’ll give a couple days break then start the game again. No new registrations will be accepted if this is the case. Rebang will be the absolute last resort.

Also, if we do not have to rebang, I will give good notice before the game comes back up.

Just so everyone knows of the situation…this will be posted in the various forums, the Home Sector, and the WTC site.

All of the information should be correct. I sent it to everyone WHOM I HAD AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR!

If I did not have an e-mail address, please make sure those team members receive their login information. Each team has their own specific password for login.

Please read the full e-mail that I sent you, if there are any questions please e-mail me (fuseblown@tradewars.ws) or ICQ me (3863812).

I’ll be around until about 4:40 PM EDT before I have to go to work.

Poison will open the game at 6:00 PM EDT…I’ll be back sometime tonight…around 11pm or so.

Also, deadline for final team registration will be 3:00PM EDT SATURDAY! So make sure you have everything figured out by then.

The server is still undecided…check the WTC site for more information!

Just some background information…my friend and I are starting a new ISP here in Central PA. The servers will be hosted at our office on a full T1 to start…we’ll be upgrading the line as we go, so connections should be fine. 😀

The TWGS will be up first, I’ll add the BBS later on once I get the chance to get it setup…still learning this Linux stuff. 😉 Be ready for some of your old favorites, plus some new games that I have ready to go, one being a sequel to the original Red Alert game.
