December 10, 2001 Death list updated due to popular demand! Almost a month since last so defenetly time. Been a busy time and hard to find the time to do the update. Sorry.

Been lot of things that have happened since last update. Nazwes been eliminated which means the last player from last years winners now is out of the game. A rockie that showed no fear and kicked some serious butt have finally meet his doom. The rockie is no other then Renato at the same time one of his very dedicated team mates Zentock got eliminated. Left behind lonely representing Born in Blood is Menudo.
Kemper so far lead the most blow up list with 12 pods not touching Prestones blow ups from last year but 12 is a good start. Will he be able to beat Prestones 27 ?

Corp 13 (The chicken coop) and corp 10 (Coastgames) have continued being active blowing ports, mothing and invading planets. I must confess I didn't count The Chicken Coop in as a team that could win this years BOTE but that don't count for much consider I hadn't counted on Mission Nighthawks last year. Makes it easier to be anonymous which they both taken good care of and turned into a very big advantage. Don't ignore any of these players because they more then likely WILL kick your ass if you don't watch your back. However the game isn't over YET. So my recommendation to The Chicken Coop is don't bring out the champaign just yet because it can give you really nasty hang overs!

Blow ups for today is updated

August 12, 2001 First blowup list is online! Check it out! First days logs is generated for your viewing pleasure online. Team FEN had first commished player and was the first team to have an ISS driver. G-Dawg was first to go fully red. Before game start there was 68 players online on the BBS. Due to immediate datacorruption game had to be restarted twice. Last time game came online there was 61 players in BOTE game. Lag was an issue the first minutes of the game while all the players got initialized but less then 30 minutes after game start with 56 players online and at least 20 players mapping lag was not an issue unless you did a D at Stardock where there shortly after game start was around 50 players camped and 15 empty ships. A big thanks to Nazwes Chaiwind for suppling me with his rlogin ducttape to resolve the disconnect issues we have had on FEN. Shortly a screen cap with the confusion from the 2 first game starts will be online thanks to Lucas that did save it and e-mail it to me.
