Hello fellow TW players. My name is Ray, Im a very old TW player lookin to try out Tradewars again. By very old I mean from back in the Dial-up Online BBS days. :) Pry 15+ years ago.. lol And i dont even know where to begin to get back into it or how its played.. May even be an adroid version of it now (Wishing.. Cause that'd be sweet) Looking through the posts i see a few names i remember... Cruncher Mainly :) Hiya Cruncher!!

Anyways so yeah... lookin to try to play again.. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Good servers.. Helpers, Programs, Proxys, scripts. Yall still use that stuff? I always thought it would be nice to play a game that uses no added help personally.. Guess maybe low-turn games would be advised for that? Also no weird wicked mods i remember seeing as i ended my TW career back in the day. But then again maybe i would like the changes that have been made over the years.. I donno :)

Any information would be great!!

Look here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/673 ... p_v102.zip

We are playing a tourney and looking for one more guy for corp 2

the game info is as follows:

TheBountyHunter - TWGS v2.20b

Universe Size: 5000 Sectors
Turns: 1200 (2 day bank)
Ship/Planet Specs
May Start Date: May 3rd
Corp Size: 4-8
Game Length: 30 days
Winning conditions: Winner take all or its a stalemate

If you want to play come in, sit, private message Helix or Micro, we will get you in the corp, and get you to dock. The edit has new player planets so its not safe to move around.

Hi ya Eyrcz!

We played our very first TW games on our local dialup BBS. There's a picture of us together at one of the Sunday afternoon gatherings at TC Traders. http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/Aliens.htm

Welcome back!

While that tournament is closed to new players, I do have the B.O.T.E. 2013 edit up on my server for everyone interested in checking it out can.

Now that the May Challenge game is over for us, I'll be studying the edit this weekend. When players are ready, restart it so everyone can practice playing against each other at the same start time.

July 12th. I believe. If you're around this weekend, I'm hosting BOTE bootcamp on my server. Helping players get TWX and Mombot working.
