After a short yet stressful delay, the zone is back up and kicking, feel free to come in and kill your friends to your hearts desire once again.

Hey folks,
This morning SSCX crashed, and SWZ hasn't come up since. We hope it'll be fixed ASAP, sorry for the inconvenience :)

Ulvain has been made swz's new full mod! You may all now officially give him a hard time in the zone, in pre-emptive revenge for his future years of "moderation" over the zone.
On that note, Ulv has been an exemplary example of a mod in all regards, and congratulations and thanks are in order for his excellent service to the zone. Keep up the good work Ulv.

Thats right, I have decided to demote the infamous, evil Sysop Miew to Mod Cadet!
The real reason for this post is to direct people to the Hall of Fame voting group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/swzhof/
Im quite done with people on the boards, who are posting nonsense because they dont know whats going on. Anyone can join this group who is a veteran of some repute. Staff members are discouraged from joining. Voting is currently underway in regards to best warbird. And no, its not a category for duelers, read deep into the meaning of "best warbird" and you will see how complicated this is. A dueling category is seperate and will come later.
Here is a refresher course:
Hall of Fame> Famous People Who have done important things, or affected the zone. This is for sentimental reasons, nothing more.
Hall of Infamy> Famous People who have done evil things, and affected the zone. This is also for sentimental reasons.
Hall of Records> {includes}
A)Best of overall Top 10 categories for ships 1-8 -yes, including caps, skill in ALL areas of SWZ taken into consideration. This is NOT a category for duelers, though this is a part of the "skill" considered. Please understand the meaning of "overall"...
B)Best Duelers top 10
C)Best Flaggers top 20
D)Most underrated Flaggers top 10
E)Best League Players top 10
F)Best Elim Players top 10
G)Misc short records section, for high scores, ratings, rare records like most deaths, highest bounties, etc...
H)Whatever we feel needs to be added at a later date!
I would like to state that there is very little staff on this voting group. The more staff hating playerbase I have to vote, the happier I will be. There is no nazi Agenda, and all vets who have demonstrated the ability to act sanely without ego tripping are welcome to join. (I just wonder if I should kick myself out for that or not).
Anyway, we are still voting on overall warbird. This group will send you lots of emails, and the voting goes very slow. If you are a fan of complaining on the boards, fine. If you want to cast your vote, fine. Your choice. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/swzhof/
In the end, this is supposed to be a *game* about *fun*, dont try to turn it into a frigging beauty pageant, with all you ladies tearing eachothers hair out.
Oh, and I guess the evil Miew can have his Sysop back now, he has learned his lesson :)

miew has been promoted to SWZ Sysop by our friendly zone owner, Force.
miew has been part of the staff for quite a while and has become essential in many matters with regards to how to help the zone run and bring in new targe.. um, increase the population and still maintain the player-base. All the details on the technical side of the sysop job, he is still fine tuning and we have complete confidence that he will be able to get his bearings quickly.
He doesn’t come into this position with any false impression of sovereignty, but after several months of the zone being sysop-less, he has learned how to work well as a team with the staff and suggestions for pilots (either directly to him or to the other staff members.) Suggestions had been made to Force, the zone owner, and his final choice did not come lightly. For anyone who has been a part of SWZ will know that changes do not come without lots of forethought and planning.
Please DO NOT bombard him with suggestions and comments while in the zone. It is impossible for him to answer all your questions at once, but send email to mom@zetasquad.com for the interim until we finalized the SWZ-Suggestion yahoogroup, where anyone can send constructive criticism, comments, suggestions and general help questions to. The mails will then be ferreted out to the person who can best answer the email.
We are currently trying to organize a better system of communication between the pilots and the staff to help make your zone better.
Please keep in mind some of the upcoming experimental changes to the zone in the next reset:
1. ShipBot is going on SPRING BREAK.
The mods will be asking you to politely get a clue and get the right ship. More details to come
2. SWZ Suggestion Board
3. Staff Applications will be accepted again for the quarter
Again, CONGRATULATIONS to miew!
