possible change in server ip
Posted by miew on Thursday, January 24, 2002
A little bird has told me that it is likely that the ip for sscx will change sometime tomorrow. I'm told that the ip might not change but most likely it will. This will only effect players still using the VIE Client. It also implies that there might be some downtime tomorrow.

"Gee, GL, I sure think being on a *Commission* would be cool. Its such a nifty word. Hook me up, you suave subspace stud, you."
If you can remember what Captain Harloch wore to his first drunken sheep wrestling fest, or the time Tailchaser was sexually confused, apply to this egroup- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/swzhof/
Only Really Old vets who know Moomaster's shoe size , and maybe one or two newbies to even things out will get in. We will vote on who is Top Ten of EVERYTHING, in the entire history of the zone. So you have to know your history. Dont fret if you dont get in, its gonna be small (Aiming for 7, max of 10)
However, Cashiers checks and Money Orders accepted at random.
BtW, .37 is gonna own so much, I wish you could all see the stuff that is planned for release in this zone :) AWESOME!

Alright Im back from my work trip, and ready to get more work done on this HoF project. FYI it has now mutated into three seperate projects, all which will fall under the "Hall of Fame". When you click on the HoF (after we finish this grueling work!) you will actually see the "Hall of Records". Then you will find two spiffy little links to the other two areas, "Hall of Fame" and "Hall of Infamy"
(I may be able to get the HoF link changed to HoRecords. heh.heh.)
Hall of Records: So many of you have been bitching for this since day one. This will be what so many of you think of as the "best of" area.
There will be best of up to 10 in each ship, or each category. Beside each name will be a note of Old settings or new.
Example>
Warbird:
1.Cabbit (old)
2.Gold_Leader (old)
3.Undead (new)
4.Jade (new)
5.Dorkmaster (old)
6.Momlover (new)
7.Flaming newb (new)
8.Cabbit (new)
etc...
In this way we will account for overall best of, no matter what settings where in use. Yes, a person may be in twice in one category for both settings, in very rare cases. We will be forming a small email group of vets to vote and what not. Stay tuned.
Hall of Fame
A subsection, this will be where all the very important people will go. Their ship skill will be noted of course, but what is more important here, is what they have done positive for the zone. Be it mods, squad leaders, or great personalities with a social influence...
Exactly what is *currently* in the HoF, with the exception of people accused or confirmed of cheating by Mods (and other shady behavior) will have to move on down to the Hall of Infamy.
Hall of Infamy
Another subsection, this is where all you flagrant whiners and ego masturbators go. All you mega cheaters and the ex players who have been large personalities, or influenced the zone, but in some strange way to garner the loathing or wonderment of the entire zone.
For example, The Undead may very well get a spot in the Hall of Records, but he is banned from the Hall of Fame (due to cheating accusations). So he may find a home here, if voted in.
Fat Kat moves from the Hall of Fame to the Hall of Infamy. Same with that fool who once hacked the zone and lied to staff about sponsoring events with real life prizes. People have been screaming "Ma$e" and "DCR" to me about this area. Get the picture? They dont have to be cheaters, just personalities- that wouldnt quite fit into the hall of fame, although they are *famous*
These two subsections are more for popularity and personality , and will be only secondary links- with the "Hall of Records" being the more formal , who is the best of , taking center stage. They will basically be for sentimental or humorous reading, not Skill.
This evil project of mine (thanks to the J^F crew for help and ideas!)
will take some time, but Im sure it will please most of you, and end the silly bickering.
Thank you to the two folks who actually decided to help me FF and Crawdaddy, as I am boggled with work now, as you can see. And thanks again to all the members of J^F who I expect will also help.
Dont ask to be on the voting email group yet, I'll let you know when.
We have to finish this Hall-of-Ego-Trips first.

Im back from my two month holiday, out of my undying addiction to this little shoot em up game... So I figured that I would pick up where I left off, with the hall of fame! The results and winners are already in, but I am faced with a dilema, as I have little to no time to write up these informational paragraphs about the winners. So I am asking those of you out there with good research and writing ability to contact me, if you would like to be a part of helping to get this HoF up as soon as possible (its already 2 months overdue!)
Job includes:
-researching the subspace history of the person/s assigned to you without letting that person know what youre up to...
-Keeping a secret. Ok its not that important but we'd like to keep the illusion of an actual award ;)
-Writing a stunning snapshot of the inductee's subspace life, with a focus on events in our zone
-Submitting it to me and allowing me to edit whatever the heck I please (wicked evil grin :)
If youre interested, drop me a line at mojo_gl@yahoo.com today!
*I reserve the right to deny potential feature HoF writers based on intense discrimination of any sort, including a unbased general character judgement that youre just a lamer*
(but seriously, if you can write, and youre mature, and youre not out to write some BS hack/fluff job, give me a mail, lets make this happen, yesterday!)
