Either he or Sing explained what he had done and far from seeing anything wrong about it, I thought it was a great tactic and laughed my Butt off. Thats how he picked up the signature line he uses. I cant remember what it was that he did. What he did was take advantage of a bug in mombot. It's all fixed now and the "all" command doesn't work anymore in most versions. I fixed mine myself. I also released a public "super" sub crawler script called "SSCS" that forced everyone to fix thier mombot script. Helix didn't like it when I did that. LAFF As far as using tedit on his own server, I witnessed that 1st hand. Not that this thread had anything to do with Helix until he derailed yet another thread. Unless he was one of the noobs that we whipped up on in game P on Trader Vics server. Bet he'd never admit it if it was. ROFL Since Helix will say I never released it, I'll do it again Sub Space Crawler Supreme (Download Link Below) http://myplace.frontier.com/~dearlholt/sscs.zip What has taking advantage of a bug in a badly written script got to do with cheating? Is it a TWGS bug ? Kavanagh.

When something unexpected happens, people will ascribe it to a number of things. Unless they are taught correctly, they will never know the truth. There are other ways and places to vent your spleens, and I would invite you to do it there. Thank you. _________________ Infecting others with a Polymorphic Virus since 1975.

Actually it was a bug in TWGS that it was even possible to continuously scan sub space channels to gain access to another corps information. Do you know how I know it was a bug? Because JP fixed the problem in the later version of Tradewars. It's also a very sleazy tactic to use in tournament play. If you aren't good enough to win a tournament by fair play, you shouldn't be in that tournament.

If you aren't good enough to win a tournament by fair play, you shouldn't be in that tournament. I actually spoke with SG about this during the tournament. He said they were simply broadcasting on every single SS channel, not listening. When the competition made a fuss, was when they knew they had hit the right channel. He found this very funny. Nearly two years later this "joke" is still being called a tactic. Too funny! I'm sure SG is still laughing about this one. _________________ 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
