To help promote events around SubSpace, and help get word out about SSGN.net, it was decided we will be teaming up with zones to offer prizes for winning events. Typically a small cash prize with a nice little gift included. Just something to spice up the competition, get more players involved, and help zones promote their events to players from other zones.

Last MoC it was decided SSGN would offer $20 and a SS Hat to the winner of the next MoC, and the Staff were very accepting and interested in it. Today during Chaos's Master of Chaos we had our first trial run and first winner, Deathonline. He took the SS Hat, but put the $20 on the line for the next Master of Chaos event winner. It was a very fun event, and players from all over the game stopped by to play, creating a very good turn out. Both SSGN and Chaos benefited from the promotion as we had a chance to see if the idea was worth trying, and Chaos had quite a few players in pub practicing and preparing for the MoC Event.

There will be a small break as we work to decide future prizes, and begin working with zones to team up and work on which events would be best to promote. But expect to see atleast 2 prized events a month, and some very cool SS Novelty prizes being offered up.





Who will be Master of Chaos?!?!?!

Come battle some of the best players in subspace in the monthly Master of Chaos event! Held the first Saturday of each month (bumped back a week due to the July 4th holiday weekend) at 5pm ET in the oldest and toughest zone in subspace: Chaos/League SVS. Just ?go MOC

Last month He$$u defeated Fuego -- will he hold the title? Repeat winners are very rare in this hotly contested event.

Get there early and warm up! See you in Chaos -- and good luck ;)





i.d. from SSCU Trench Wars let the players choose the events for this weekend and you've had the chance to get your vote in for a week now. The results are in!


Saturday, July 10th at 3pm EST we'll be seeing who can fly their spaceship to the finish line the fastest in ?go Racing

Sunday, July 11th and 5pm EST countries around the world will battle it out to see who will come out on top in ?go WW3

Hope to see you all there!

On Saturday, July 24th, we will host a Javelin Money Tournament and on Sunday, July 25th, we will have a Warbird Money Tourament! There will be a cash prize of $25 $50 for the the winner of each tournament! So, practice up and come on out to see if you can win some money! I'll post the times and more details next week.

UPDATE!

As promised, here are more details regarding the money tournaments: Saturday, July 24th there will be a Javelin Money Tournament hosted in ?go javtourny2 at 4pm EST and on Sunday, July 25th there will be a Warbird Money Tournament hosted in ?go tourny3 at 5pm EST

From DSB's News.txt:

Following the previous announcement on 13 June, I have decided not to shutdown the zone.

Seems the players pursuaded Hoch to go against his personal feelings. Tack another point for the players of this community fighting to keep it alive.





There is always a time when you realize there is a human behind that little ship moving around and typing back at you. Not just some AI, or some preprogrammed response. Luckily a lot of times, it is when SS Players get together to hang out, have a drink, goto a game, give each other a hand, or just meet up for any random reason. But sadly, over the many years, there has also been the times when that ship will never log in again.

White_0men was a long time Player, HZ Community Member, and Former Staffer. I think it shows how much he touched his community as a human being more than just another ship or player by their response to his death. The thread continues to grow with condolences, and people giving their stories and accounts of him. The HZ Community has even setup a Memorial Fund for his family to show that he meant a lot to their community, and they knew him as more than just another player.

A senseless act of violence took another person's life. Even though the news story comments are controversial due to his job, he was a good person, always one to say Hi, and talk for a while. Noone deserves to die the way he did, regardless of anyone's personal beliefs.

If you would like to join the HZ Community in showing his family your support, you can paypal donations C/O BlueGoku to: devoit@gmail.com

Thanks.
