People only get angry because they've put time in, if they play a game where the sysop is playing and they've known about it from the beginning then they've got no one to blame but themselves. This is why I named the game "Cruncher's Private Game".

Just find TheDraw (free) or another ANSI editor and create an intro.ans screen for your server. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Re: Sysops playing their own server? Promethius wrote: Just find TheDraw (free) or another ANSI editor and create an intro.ans screen for your server. Thank you! I'm always confusing ANSI with ASCII. I think I need to learn the difference. ASCII http://www.asciitable.com/ ANSI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_art ANSI art is a computer art form that was widely used at one time on BBSes. It is similar to ASCII art, but constructed from a larger set of 256 letters, numbers, and symbols _________________ BOTE 1998 Champs: Team Fament HHT 2015 Champs: Cloud09 Big Game 2016 Champs: Draft team HHT 2018 Champs: Rock Stars Big Game 2019 Champs: Draft Team Classic Style Games Here: telnet://crunchers-twgs.com:2002 Web page from 1990's: https://web.archive.org/web/20170103155645/http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/tradewar.htm Blog with current server info: http://cruncherstw.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/4dja5Z8 E-mail: Cruncherstw@gmail.com FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/CrunchersTW |

Re: Sysops playing their own server? You forgot about CP437. Originally called "Extended ASCII" by IBM, but was never adopted as an official standard.
CP437 is the character set $128-255 that is used to draw lines and shaded boxes, etc... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cp437 _________________ Regards, Micro Website: http://www.microblaster.net TWGS2.20b/TW3.34: telnet://twgs.microblaster.net:2002 ICQ is Dead Jim!
