I was under the impression Zoobar fell off the edge of the Earth. And honestly, its a TW game. Its beyond ridiculous we're having an argument over something that isn't copywrited nor trademarked. Since neither are anywhere near TW what difference would it make to them? I have multiple edits out there that people have changed. I guess you guys can sue RP if he changes BOTE. That would give some people a good chuckle.

I rarely make much fuss of myself these days and tend to stay away from the politics and the "scene". Been there done that and got to much important things in life. So why am I here posting this well simply this that Ｉbeen approached by numerous people whom I honor and respect. My understanding here is that someone is talking about arranging another BOTE and not following the traditions of BOTE. For some reason I become viewed as the spokes person for BOTE. Why you might ask that do not know me or the history of BOTE. I played in the first BOTE and was one of the players in the winning team. Bote ended up being hosted by Fament.com whom hosted the winning team. At this point I was sysop at fament.com and hosted the game for numerous years after this. When I didn't have time to maintain the bbs any longer arrangements where made whom to host the game the following year.

There been a few people as I said that approached me not to happy what of BOTE and this is NOT BOTE. There are traditions to follow. The game your planning is not BOTE.
If you want a real BOTE following traditions I would be more then happy to host another BOTE.

You do realize that w/ all the splits this way and that you're going to end up with no qualified sysops, hardly any players, certainly no decent team captains, and an edit that nobody can agree to. Who cares if it's "BOTE" or any other name, really? It's not like "BOTE" is magical or anything, heck it's practically cursed. I can only be thankful I avoided the last fiasco. I mean all those links are like 6, 7, 8 years ago. Most of those players are long gone, and the game has certainly changed. They are, to be blunt, irrelevant. All of this is.

Anyway... way to go guys. Keep up w/ all the B.S. It's just setting the tone for the game itself I guess, really makes ppl want to play.

See, that's tradition too. And SG is all about tradition, so its just in line with it all. Isn't it great that all those wonderful old players passed us down such a great tradition?

I've sent a PM to Macahan

lol 'bout as much fun as watching grass grow.

I thought turtle games were banned by the geneva convention...

Naw they just run until the gameop gets bored then he calls it a draw

Cerne

So does that mean I win since no one else is going to play? W()()T!

Kane winner of 2008 BOTE!!!

i won bigd's last tournament that way!

I'd be happy to play in anything that's decided upon.

If you mean Silver Bells, we showed up too... so I guess it was a tie
