Missed out on the HHT? Don’t fret, EleqTrizi’T is starting up the Home Sector Title Game once again! The game begins on Monday, November 6th at 6:00pm PST! One question…Can ya dig it?

The last Title Game (Summer Xtreme) champions were Hekate, Gravedigr, Slim Shady (JacK BoX), Fuseblown (that’s me!), DarkOne, and Rawhead Rex, making up the corporation of KARMA. Will KARMA be back to defend their title?

Today’s News
Game A at Alien Base is going to be delayed until Friday morning. River Rat apologizes for the delay.

Tournament Updates
HHT has become very interesting lately. I lost 2 more lives (that’s 3 deaths for me – sigh) thanks to Rolodex who decided to foil our SDF’ing. I’m still having a ton of fun though.

BOTE 2000 is still rolling along. Lots of action though according to the news on Fament’s BOTE site. It will be interesting to see what happens here on out…and if it can outlast the HHT <G>.

I was reading egroups today (enough said right there .. hahaha) when I came across a posting where someone accused a female poster of being on PMS. I am so sick of guys saying she is PSM’ng when a female bitches. When a guy bitches its called a TETESTERONE High. Now I have seen more then one guy post the PMS comment and it has been suggested when I argued a point in egroups that i must be PMS’ng. Well that is BULL$&%^! If you cant use the right head and think of something better to use then PMS then I suggest you click DELETE and move on!

And on the 10th of November, Fuseblow is going to come grace Virginia Beach and visit with Guard, SG and myself. Were looking forward to meeting him! Then later in the week Prestone is coming to Virginia Beach to visit and we get to meet him also. Anyone else interested in coming to visit. We would love to have you.

If you missed yesterday’s update, you may want to check it out in the News Archives. A lot of stuff happened over the weekend and I had about two pages of news posted.

Tournament Updates
The Haunted Halloween Tournament started this morning at midnight EST!! Thirteen total teams have signed up to play! If you didn’t get signed up in time…maybe next year.

I want to congratulate Stonewall for handing me my first pod. I had messages silenced and I never saw him hit me (which he did 3 times). Oh well, it was a good shot…I got away with my pod. That’s all that mattered to me <G>.

WTC is still running, the Good, Bad, and Indifferent and the Hun are still at it.

BOTE 2000 is still running as well. Will these games ever end?

After an agonizing 157 days, The World Tradewars Championship is finally over. Today, The Huns conceded to GBI. Congradulations to GBI for being this years winners! Here they are:

Dragon’s Elite has posted a recap of the happenings during the WTC and Timberwolf has done the same thing… but from the other corp’s view! Wow.

Once I get my hands on some of the software I’ve been trying to find on the Internet the past couple of weeks, I will be giving TRADEWARS.WS a new look. The pages should basically look the same, but with more graphics to give the site more of a visual feel instead of blocks upon blocks of text. If anyone knows where I can get the trial version of Bryce 4 (which is now owned by Corel) please let me know. I checked out the Corel site, but it seems that they don’t have trial downloads of any of their software. Also, if anyone knows of any good 3D creation software, feel free to let me know about those as well. I’d like something to make 3D models of objects, as well as 3D “worlds.”I will be adding my own links section to the web site in the near future. The link to Hekate’s site will still appear on all of the pages throughout the site. My list will contain links to other TW sites, as well as off-topic sites that I like to visit occasionally.

Sorry about the delay on the new Server List layout. Time has not been on my side the past week or so. It should happen sometime this week…I also have a couple of new servers to add to the new list, including the great Home Sector!

I have setup a tentative meeting with Bad Girl and Guardian (and possibly a couple of others that can make it) to discuss the Trade Wars Players’ Association in more detail with some fellow TW players that are closer to me. I have a lot of good ideas, but I want to run them by some other people and establish a basis for the association before I release anymore public information. More on this after the meeting (which is tentatively set for the weekend of November 10th, etc.).

Didn’t have access to the appropriate software to update the site this weekend. I was back in Pennsylvania for a visit. Well, here’s everything that happened while I was gone…WARNING, it’s a BIG update!!Timberwolf has been working on his line of TW-related soap operas over at the TW Gazette web site. Yours truly is the star in one of the latest “The Traders and the Warriors.” He has also been adding a few things to the TWGS-MBBS comparison chart for you old timers that are getting back into the game and need to see what has changed since the MBBS days. Go check it out.

Timberwolf is also working on a ‘Death & Destruction’ series of games to be hosted on The Deep South and Intergate. The Deep South game will be starting sometime in the near future, but the Intergate game will occur sometime much later. This first D&D game will consist of 2-man corps, while the second will be every person for themselves! I enjoyed the D&D games in the past, hopefully these will be just as enjoyable as the first! (Bring back the Action IV Transport, T!)

EleqTrizi’T has gone on an OFFICIAL rampage! He’s right with most of his points…except maybe the official best web site one. Actually I’m just kidding Eleq, I visit the Home Sector more than any other TW web site and it looks DAMN good!

OFFICIAL Trade Wars Discussion group founded by EleqTrizi’T and Aitvo is now up to 67 members in just a couple of days! It’s good to see that people still want to talk about Trade Wars and not fight with each other constantly. It also seems that there are already some opponents of the group that are jealous of the title “Official” being placed on the group. What do they do? Start bothering folks (mostly JP) over at the EIS forum about it. Oh well, they can whine all they want. If you’re not a member, sign up now!

While at the first annual Trade Wars Convention in Las Vegas last weekend, I hear Moldar threw out some ideas of his for a Trade Wars sequel. Word has it that he will be putting these ideas up on a web site sometime in the near future for people to check out and discuss. I have a ton of ideas myself. It will be interesting to see if Moldar hit any of those same issues.

Tournament Updates
The Haunted Halloween Tournament starts tonight at midnight CST!! Thirteen total teams have signed up to play! If you haven’t signed up for the game yet, you better get in gear and do it soon! Time is running out! Space Ghost is accepting registrations and changes up until midnight EST! Game starts at midnight CST!

More HHT news, KARMA has replaced their member, Merlin, with –{Cowboy}–. Merlin wasn’t able to join us full-time for the tournament and pulled out of the game. KARMA will still go on!

WTC is still running, I don’t have many details except that The Good, Bad, and Indifferent and The Huns are the only teams left after the Black Knights were eliminated last week in a joint invasion. EleqTrizi’T would not allow the game to end on a truce, so the last two corporations are battling it out until the end! Hopefully this game will see an end soon…before those folks begin to lose their sanity. I was part of The Huns until I was deleted a while ago for inactivity, I kinda wish I were still in their battling it out. Good luck to both teams.

More TWCon2k pictures have been posted by EleqTrizi’T, click here to check ’em out. If you haven’t seen the first group, you can view those at this link.Digitalis has now made his private TWGS public. The Digital Malice is now up and running for you TW2002 gaming pleasure.

Interesting what happens in the course of a day. I’ve made my voice known about the Tradewars egroups. If you haven’t been following, here’s a recap: original tw2002 egroups good. Egroups erupts in a flamewar a few months ago that still hasn’t stopped. Hulk unsubscribe from egroups. Hulk look for new home. Hulk finally find new home!

Today, Aitvo, created a brand new tradewars egroup with the promise,
“You won’t HAVE to set a filter in this one…” You see, this forum is moderated. A few hours after this new group was announced, John Pritchett gave the forum is blessing, so it is now The Official Tradewars 2002 egroups forum. Before you start making remarks about how “The Man” is impeding your self evolution by moderating the forum, I think you need to take a look at the policy. So go ahead and subscribe! We won’t ban you… at least not unless you start a flamewar.
