The easiest way to do it would probably be a Java based telnet client wrapped inside of a FB app... would be scriptless though unless you wanted to build support for it.


Nod. Still a lot of work, and potential for tonnes of issues.

is there anyone in this group who knows how to spruce up a facebook page? i started the tradewars-2002 facebook page but i don't have time to keep up with it or make it a compelling place to hang out. i could use a few admins with skills.

If you could get a nice big uni going on facebook with no scripting, that would be great. No scripting would be key(LOL, I know).

At least it would be an easier place to learn than our current environments. A great place to at least grow the game, and the builders could play till they die.

Rev: Facebook is the scourge of memory. There is no good way to do it. FTB!!!!!(Thats frack the Book BTW)

i realize im a recent returner to tradewars, but ive played in a lot of myspace and facebook games(at one point i was ranked number 1 on gundam wars). the thing is, tradewars in its current format isnt facebook friendly. if you are going to have a social networking app and have it be popular, you have to cater to the lowest common denominator, and have it be perpetual(no rebangs, no multiple games, just one huge tradehugs lite). i think a good tradewars based app would work though- it would however have to look and play like mafia wars. maybe tradewars could be reworked into a browser game like travian... either way you get to rewrite everything D:

Welcome back to the game. I was in your position once and was lucky (and honored) to play against a trader called Helix (who still plays and is just as helpful) who taught me loads. He wasnt the only one. There are LOADS of helpful players. Jump in any game and ask.
I personally hope TW never makes it to a facebook app. Its too complex for that. But we shall see.
Hope you stick around and play.
Take care.
