If any of you read egroups you will see the race is on to see who can bang the most games in a week. Now the long standing title has always been held my Timberwolf but closing the gap is River Rat. So now you can go to the Timberland or the Swamp and TW yourself to death! And a BIG TW Welcome to Intergate..our long lost child has returned to the fold! Stop by and see what is going on there…just beware you don’t get a “Crunch” take out of you…

WORD OF THE DAY – Today’s word is once again from the TW archieves of Lord Chaos’ vast collection…..

DISCO’D – Disconnected at an inopportune moment, bad timing or as in a John Travolta dance Step.

YOUR CORDIALLY INVITED!!!!  – If you don’t already know Eleq is getting married! He is taking down his server starting Thursday night and will bring it back up the following Thursday when he returns from his Honeymoon. Now for the good news…Eleq feels so bad that he has to take down the server that he wants all of us to join him on his honeymoon! Since none of us will have anything to do with the server being down…he felt it was the least he could offer. Contact Eleq at the Honeymoon Suite in Vegas and let him know if you will be joining him and Monica for the Honeymoon.
All reservations must be into Eleq no later then Wednesday Evening.

WORD OF THE DAY!  – Today’s word of the day is a combined effort of Lady Ice and Lord Chaos.

SELF-HAZARDIZATION…Running in to a Level 3 or above planet and blowing ones self to pieces..Example: Morpheus should have stopped for that RED light!

The AOL Dupers monthly meeting will be held this Saturday at the Den. Bring all your names and party like is 1999! All AOL Dupers are encouraged to come and mingle with your fellow dupers! Refreshments will be served at Stardock!

WORD OF THE DAY –  Today’s word is REVERSED POLARITY which refers to a Blue who attacks another Blue in an ISS and goes Red. Example: Guardian did the cross dressing ..oops cross over today when he attacked and killed Space Ghost.  The word of the day was once again submitted by Lord Chaos!

I was sworn not to tell anyone where Mana has been hiding. But…damn those bamboo shoots under the nails start to hurt after awhile! So I am here to tell you that Mana is off at Tradewar University taking a remedial course in port trading! He flunked out the first week for not haggling but now I have word that he is 5th in his class out of a class of five! Way to Go Mana! Hurry back and share your expertise with all of us!

NOW…let’s see what else is brewing around the TW Universe…
Hekate has a job posting in Egroups. I have looked over her classified and the benefits are outstanding. That corporation sure knows how to take care of it’s own. I believe the new uniforms she ordered are quite striking also!

For those of you out there who don’t know Eleq is trading in his bachlorhood on August 12th. He will be marrying the very beautiful Monica…boy did he get the better end of that deal.. J/K…Much happiness to you both.

WTC is still going…like that energizer bunny…hope someone kills that bunny soon!

BOTE is pretty much dominated by the BAD BAD PEOPLE! Then of course Bad People usually do dominate…

Over in the Timberland we believe the 52nd game of the week has been rebanged at the Den! There is surely something for everyone over there.

I will be posting for a while…until Mana graduates from port trading class.

If you have a creative word that describes a position or ranking or whatever concerning TW drop me an email and I will post it. Email me at Barbcruz@home.com

THE WORD FOR TODAY IS…….”Bi-Alignment” to characterize TW players who play red and blue equally well. An example is Artemis is Bi! This was all submitted to me courtsey of Lord Chaos.

On the request of Earth, I’ve taken down “Spam ATTAC” from the Articles section. The article dealt with issues that no longer matter. Also, the person who threated to sue me two years ago (Nic) over that article hasn’t been part of the ATTAC team for about 18 months.

You mean I’m supposed to FIX this stuff?

In a nutshell, here’s what happened:

So what else do I have to say? Hulk SMASH! Then Hulk Sleep. Hulk tired from projects for Evil Lady. Hulk thank Linux Guy for help!

Quick note about the below post: It was done by Barbra “Bad Girl” Cruz. That’s right, Bad Girl now has the rights to post here, which means that if someone were to make accusations, they might want to check who is actually making the post first. Right? Right??? Barb says she won’t be posting much because she is computer illiterate. This ends up not making much since since she can pilot an ISS fine, but can’t figure out how to put a subject line on her posts?

In any case, Working Designs has released Vanguard Bandits. So if you’ll excuse me…

CLASSIFIED AD:

Help wanted. If your a blue and have your own transportation and you can spell the word R-E-F-U-R-B and the hours are not flexible and you must be able to roll over and beg on command. Then this is an opportunity you can’t pass up! Call 1-800-Black Knights and ask for the CEO or Wingman only serious inquiries, must be able to start immediately.

First Name : Jesus

When did you start Playing Tradewars : About 3 weeks ago

How Long have you Played Tradewars : I’ve been complaining about it for about a year, but didn’t start playing religiously (No pun intended) till last week.

Alias Used in the Game : -= Barefoot =-

How I Choose my Alias : I’ve always been a big fan of the Monster Truck Rally. I also really like the Monster Truck called Bigfoot. I chose a name slightly diffrent from that truck’s because the messiah of Tradewars should have a unique name, shouldn’t he?

Are You a Member of any Group in TW : I am currently working with GrazHoppa’s corp. She’s giving me inside tips on how to beat dupers and cheaters on their own terms.

Helpers / Programs Used : Helpers? What are those?

Awards / Recognition Received Best Overall Player — Barefoot’s Awards

Best Blue Player — Barefoot’s Awards

Best Hunter — Barefoot’s Awards

Rankings of Rex Guardian’s Rankings : Too good to be ranked

Epicenter’s Rankings : Too good to be ranked

Best Game / Tournament you ever played in : Best Tournament is the one I’m playing now at Klock.com! It’s Klock’s “Universal Battle of the Best.” (UBOB for short) This tournament is so good, the Black Knights, Dominance! Enterprises, and Boo! Inc. were all too scared to play. It’s not over yet, but now that 2 of my 3 class M planets have reached Level 2, I’m well on my way to becoming the galactic power.

How you Play Good : I kill evil. Cause… that’s what Good people do. I try to get a lot of the other Goods to go to church with me on sundays, but they usually say that they’re too busy. I pod them after they say that.

How you Play Evil : I don’t play Evil. I’m the messiah, duh. How am I supposed to lead my people to the promised land when I can steal almost…unlimited amounts of money…from…faceless ports? Um, excuse me. (slam)

BBS/Servers that you like the Most: Klock.com. Nowhere else is worthy of my presence.

Your feelings on being a player or CEO in games Being the messiah and all, I’m always put as CEO. They say it’s because I can strike the fear of God into my opponents… or something like that.

What influenced your style of play or helped you become the great player that you are I suppose being the son of God helps out a bit. But really, it’s due to my keen intuition and ability to smell out pagan religions that help the most.

Trick or Suggestion can you give to help other TW players: There’s a very simple trick to staying alive: Join me or my minions will destroy you and your first born.

Your best TW moment or Disaster : My best Moment is yet to come. The day SST is destroyed will be coming, prepare yourself now evils! The day when evils can get infinite amounts of…moneys… *ahem* (Note to self: Work on resisting temptation) will be coming to a close. Because when you do the crime, you do the time!

Anything else you might want to add : I’d like to give out some mad props to Satan. Some people may think he’s a bad guy, but he’s just rough around the edges. I’m pouring a 40 out here on the sidewalk for your defeat in the WTC. It also goes out to his teammates Bad Girl, Hellbitch, Atog, Mirkath, and Peacemaker.

“If you do the crime, do the time!

Quote from -= Barefoot =- about -= Barefoot =-

Since I wasn’t at my apartment this weekend, I took the liberty of bringing my dreamcast so I could check my mail. Bad idea.

My thanks to everyone on Egroups. My Dreamcast was chugging along fine until It realized I had 200 messages in my mailbox all from egroups. Then my DC started spitting out smoke in an effort to stay alive. Instead of staying out partying saturday night, I had to feed chicken soup to my DC to help nurse it back to health. So let me say it, THANKS GUYS.

Dragon’s Elite has a new section dedicated to the best players. The first award has gone to Rawhead Rex. Congrats…or something. And you know, Since I play TW so much, it’s only a matter of time till I get chosen.
