| Post subject: | New Tradewars Game / New BBS |
Hey, everyone, I put a new BBS up about a month ago. I'm running about a dozen door games, along with a game of Tradewars using TWGS. Everyone is welcome to sign up and play whatever you like. Point your telnet client (SWATH?) at telnet.shackbbs.com. If you're interested, I'm also running Legend of the Green Dragon (a web-based LORD clone) at www.shackbbs.com. See you in space!

Any way to bypass the BBS and go straight to the TWGS? |

I don't think so. If I make it available for direct telnet then you won't be able to access it from the BBS. That would be counterproductive. :-\ I'm hoping I can build up some semblance of a community on the board, too. |

um... I dont see ANY tradewars game... Upon creating an account I'm automatically put into some Text game that I've never heard of - that I don't want to play... No options for 'other games' - no options for 'contact staff / admin'... If you don't reply here I just dont see myself going back to that site. |

What's the point of having a bbs these days, anyway? |

BBS's are (in my opinion) a simpler method of housing a community forum; just like this classicTW.com site (only they chose to use PHPbb - like I did for my own guild website; probably for the massive amounts of support available) There is a market for everything out there... If I could remember the names of those old turn based games I used to like I'd want to log into a BBS and play them - even now... hmmm one was a nuclear war game between the USA and Soviet union - each turn was either to launch a nuke - intercept a nuke - or send a spy to sabotage the enemy.. enjoyable game... I remember a few others that were good -- none AS good as tradewars though. |
