Wow! I had forgotten all about newsgroups...

I don't think I've been here since 1989...

What ever happened to the U-Dub server? Anybody go that far back?

Hi Steve, I think I remember you..... were you also one of the voters for
breaking out rec.games.diplomacy separately? I think 1989 was when we did
that.

Eventually, the original U-Dub Judge server went away, seems that was
about 1993 or so.....

There aren't too many other readers/writers here other than me that go
back to the beginning. But welcome back. You could count as a re-newbie
and standby for one of the openings that have just been posted.....

As always, Eric is precise, but my guesses weren't too far off..... yes, I
know people have contacted Ken Lowe in recent years, he has "moved on to
other things" but is still at U-Dub.

Thanks! I just gave the web interface a try, but it seems not to accept
the passcode it just created...

I'll give it another go in a bit.

For good ole judge games, mail me directly for help. The email address
above is good. You don't have to pay dues like a total newb if you've
completed a judge game before and can remember what an uncuttable
support is.

Well, I was speaking of my personal experience, based on fuzzy
memories from 15 years ago, and a quick search of my games on
floc.net. A more thorough search shows that while activity
on USWA dropped off significantly in late '93, the last game
started on 12-13-94, and the last game ended on 08-09-95.

Eric.

Yes, I would work with Chris who is actively GMing Judge games, I think
it's been almost ten years since I last GMed a Judge game, at least it
seems that long.

Welcome back,
