what lingo here is hard to figure out? plock? youve used it yourself for a minute. AFK? isnt that your whole problem?
who are you to tell us weve strayed from the path? the last time i checked it says tradewars when i log in.
now, if the time limit gets fixed then the afk scripts will stop some. this is being done. but you still have to try to modify the game more. heres a question- is changing a bunch of stuff willy nilly just to see what happens going to make the game more or less like it was? simple answer is less. but stay on your crusade.
theres a game rebang right now, for a beginner/moderate player. scripts arent welcome. whose playing? how many times have they asked for more players now? what about your old school edit on the beta? whos there? does this register at all? of course not.

I think more Cruncher fell off the path....Watch out for that tree.

I won't be able to play with out Plock...what ever will I do.

I saw it, 2500 turns, super planet one dupe allowed. – Too easy.

Anyone want the TWA file of my Old School edit to run on a public server?

Aggressive aliens - depends on the rest of the edit. Right conditions, I kinda like aliens and outcashing (or staying pretty close to) a red. Man I like that script! Turn it on, walk away, come back a while later and then look for blues or reds to kill. No need to colo, just kill.

This is an easy fix, you are over thinking it. Post the TW version YOU played on in the 90's and the TW settings YOU used in the 90's. I happen to know that 3 or 4 sysops that still host TW as a BBS Door. We get one of them to host a game for you and your 3-5 Old School friends from facebook and everyone is happy.

BTW, have you tried NavHaz' Old School Game? Its this one. <I> Old School [v1.1]
