I'm leaving the server up for now. Exarchon has agreed to step in and manage it as an admin. I will cruise through every once in a while but will probably never play another game. the last time I quit, I was away for more than ten years. You only need look at my original posts here to see that.

Good luck everyone. i do wish this game well and hope it finds a path that will take it into the future for years to come.

I have been dreaming about this game. I have been thinking about this game and I have been spending hours and hours sitting in a chair staring at a monitor playing this game ... again.

I had forgotten what made me give it up so many years ago. That was pretty easy to fix. All I had to do was read Cabal's site again. Even though that site came about after my original time with this game, all the reasons he dropped out pretty much mirror my own even though I never attained anywhere near the level of play he did.

I will leave the TWGS Server up for a while. If someone wants to be the admin, send me an email (admin@twarbase.com) and I'll give you some access to create games. Other than that, I am disposing of the twarbase.com website (again) and getting my fat Butt back out of this chair and back into my life.

See ya

Sorry JP.

I remember reading the page on Cabal where he talks about wanting to write a red bot to go with his blue bot, and then realizing what that would do to the game if he ever released it. It would become a game of bots, completely without human interaction from the first turn to the last #SD#. Realizing this is what made him quit.

But I kind of think he should have done that. Someone should release a comprehensive bot that would completely dominate the game. Demolish the manual players. Demolish the scripters. Demolish everyone. Completely ruin the game.

Because that's the only thing that's going to make some people understand the necessity of curtailing certain kinds of scripting.

There are ways to limit bot use and also make games less all-consuming, but for some reason, people don't seem to play those games as much.

oh, forgot about this, thats why Jace's Night Club doesnt allow players to sit online to play games for 24hrs without log out... thats why i ban Ips that do this behavior....Maybe that's why the problem doesnt exist at Jace's Night Club? Hum.... just thinking outloud
