New Map
Posted by Gold_Leader on Sunday, September 23, 2001

SWZ now has a new map, courtesy of the swz map making guild! On behalf of that fine organization of underpaid workers, I would like to thank mainly Flying Fortress and Just a Decoy, who contributed most of the effort- literally spending ungodly hours staring at a screen until they were zombies. I'm sure these guys dream of tiles attacking them right now. Thanks fellas, swz thanks you too!

Not to mention the rest of the guild who either contributed Bases and Ideas, (HBK and Force) or those who churned out the tileset (Cuervo). And me, who basically didn't do anything but yell at people.

Check out FF's Post to contribute to some constructive criticism. After all this, he still wants to work more! The SWZMMG's work is never done...

May the Force be with us...

Heya folks, it's good to be here. Let me fill you in on what's happening with SWZ
currently. Many of you will have heard rumours that our beloved sysop Tailchaser has
decided to leave, this is in fact true.

The reasons for this are far from simple. It arose from a number of things: The
horrific attack on the US and the licence people seemed to grow to vent their emotional
grievances on others (everyone was guilty of this); the fact Tail has had alot of real
life hassles to sort out and hasn't been able to spend as much time online as in previous
months; other staff issues.

Let me say before any more rumour begins: Tail has only EVER done the best job here in
SWZ. He has always been 100% honest and upfront about all matters to me and has always
been considerate in his undertakings, especially to a rusty owner who didn't deserve to
get the status reports he received. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Tail for all his contributions to SWZ in the long time he's been acting sysop, from the
bottom of my heart.

So as of today i am your new acting sysop. I am a little out of my depth, it's been quite
sometime since i Sysop'ed under the nick "Captain Harloch". Tail is still here helping me
settle in.

My first intention is to have the new map up by the end of the weekend. I will keep you
posted. If anyone needs to contact me, please do so: captainharloch@optushome.com.au or
ICQ: 9596326. Staff should use these contacts to let me know of any problems/requests.

From all the staff, thanks for the support and we're looking forward to new things here
in SWZ.

LATEST NEWS

======================================================================
08-29-01 To all zone members
TC
======================================================================

It has come to my attention, several people have been acting up in the zone, and on the
message boards, about the goings on in the world. While you may have freedom of speech in
your area, keep in mind, this is a privately owned GAME server. Yes that's right a GAME.

I have instructed the moderators to ban/silence anyone who says certain things. While it
is ok to grieve over the loss of ANY life on this planet, we will no put up with:

1) Talking/suggesting its ok to kill/harm ANYONE.
2) Using player names to do #1
3) Using the message board is just the same as being in the zone. So #1 and #2 apply
to the board.

Anyone caught doing this will be banned on the spot. I am not kidding at all about this,
this zone is not to be used for that.

If you can not play a game with people all over the world, then you shouldn't be here at all,
and leave on your own accord.

** NOTE **

If anyone is being harrassed either in the zone or on the msg board, please let me know
about it. Your best bet is to log the conversation, and send it to a billing operator, such
as PriitK.

All too often......
Posted by Clint01 on Wednesday, September 12, 2001

we forget what everything means to us. But when we see, that literally in a second, it can all be taken away, I would hope it wakes us all up to the evil that is in this world. Today was the most surreal day of my entire life. And I don't know a single person who has died in the incidents in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. All day at work all I could think is "This just sounds like a movie. This can't be for real." I had to go to my car and turn on my radio to see for myself, and sure enough it was on every station. "America Attacked" they called it. It wasn't America that was attacked today. It was innosence, and any sense of safety and freedom we in this country have had. It has been my experience that time heals all wounds, but that is not always without a scar. My heart, thoughts, and prayers, as well as those of the respecive staffs of swz.net and SSCX Star Warzone, go out to all who have lost any loved ones in this act of utter disregaurd for human life. I know two good friends from ss that have lost loved ones but I will not mention names. I am terribly sorry you guys, and if there's anything I can do, I'm an email away, and if need be a phone call away. I know this entire post has absolutely nothing to do with subspace, but it does have to do with its players, of whom many become like one big family. So everyone please make the best of the time you have here with the ones you love, because at anytime, it could all be over. Rest assured in the fact that if we don't get whoever was responsible for this, God will. God bless all you guys and stay safe.

Clint
