 Facebook TW Discussion Group
There is a FB discussion group on TW if you have a FB account. The last post by John Pritchett was interesting.

 Re: Facebook TW Discussion Group
If they don't have FB then why would they care about a discussion about a FB app even if it has to do with TW?

 Re: Facebook TW Discussion Group
Maybe they will want to join FB if they see all the cool kids are on there.

 Re: Facebook TW Discussion Group
Don't mind me. I'm just bitter because I did the same thing as T0yman but then right before hitting Submit I had that revelation and decided against it.

 Re: Facebook TW Discussion Group
Has anyone here ever played, or had a facebook game played on there computer?
You CANNOT play TW with facebook having any realtime updating going on(which you know would happen). This is a terrible idea, however if you could just introduce people to the game, and leave us hardcores to do our own thing, that could work extremely well to gain new faces.....
Of course you would have to have LORD set up on facebook as well to get the whole ageing BBS crowd into it, at which point I would get a facebook account.

Like the Arena, caves, etc. I would think it would be a pain to rebang TradeWars games on a FB app.

 Re: Facebook TW Discussion Group
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.
