 Re: Just to let ya know......Cruncher wrote: No, not exactly TWA's, we have a library for those. I'm thinking we start with the default settings, throw this in a spreadsheet then start colums for the different type pre-sets we want to give new sysops at least a basic "shell" to start designing their own games. Now maybe these pre-sets will be hardwired at a certain setting to keep games somewhat balanced. Why? Cruncher wrote: Truce games will always have the truce feature on - when JP gets that done. Why? Cruncher wrote: Something along those lines. Still let them experiment with gold ships and planets and such. This does not guarantee all new games will be balanced, but they will have a solid starting point to start with. Does this make sense? No. Cruncher wrote: And yes B.O.T.E will be interesting, that has traditionally always been a classic edit, correct? I guess it will be up to the host to decide just how "classic" they want to make the B.O.T.E. this year. Who won last year? Take a guess. _________________   Founding Member of: Flying Ace's |

Your being to subtle she won't be able to figure it out  I prefer to wait and see how these changes are implemented since JP himself has said on many occasions everything in the current version will be an "OPTION". _________________ T0yman (Permanently Retired since 2012) Proverbs 17:28 <-- Don't know it, most should it would stop a lot of the discussions on here. |

Well I'm thinking that B.O.T.E will be run on a pre-beta server to avoid issues and bring in more players. Just seems like the best "OPTION" _________________ Founding Member of: Flying Ace's |

Re: Just to let ya know...... topper4125 wrote: Sorry for asking a real noob question.. what's B.O.T.E? Battle of the Elite - first one ran in 1998 on Gypsy's Server. You may find his web page on the way-back machine. http://www.azi.com That was at the high point of TradeWars - Dozens of servers on the web, each with 20-50 regular, loyal players, and each very proud of their home server. So this was the first ever TW "Sporting Event" you could say. Each server ran selected their best players to represent. This was the "Best of the Best" at that time. One game, 5k sectors over 200 players - and Lag... OMG you've never seen such lag! Most of us were on dialup with the fastest modem at that time was a 56k I think... dunno, we may still been using 14.4's That was a riot! And the rules were winning team got to host the next year's B.O.T.E. That was I beleive the first TW Tournament - Later came HHT and the USO. And yes, my corp represented Fament - Monday, Hosem, Maverick, Macahan and myself. Monday was CEO, Hosem the killer, Mav, & I were Red. Macahan was running red support, when he could get on. He was telnetting from Sweden at that time. Just try to imagine 200+ players in one 5k universe... the mayhem!

Re: Just to let ya know...... Wow that brings back memories!
I remember my first HHT. Played with Stonewall, Moldar, Chunky, Devil Dog, and Neo. I remember getting a call in the middle of the night saying we were getting invaded and all hands on deck. Was playing on dodgy dialup back then... _________________ Infecting others with a Polymorphic Virus since 1975. Curing ignorance and terminal stupidity since 1999.
