 Beginning January 1, 1994 ECLECTIC ONLINE will be starting a Trade Wars 2002
Multiverse CASH contest for a grand prize Up to $500.000.

 Before I tell you how you can participate, let me tell you what Trade Wars
Multiverse is.

 It's actually a multi-universe. The traditional game has 1000 sectors.
The ECLECTIC ONLINE Trade Wars 2002 Multiverse will have 10,0000 sectors,
YES! Ten thousand sectors! But thats not all. Each universe is accessed via
wormholes spread through the variuos universes. Some are one way to one
universe with one  or two ways back from a different universe.

 Some universes are like labyrinths, some are spiraled, while others are near
barren where lost traders have liitle cover.

 Some universes contain Borg assimilation, some contain Romulan others 
contain Ferrengi from HELL! Q form the Q Continium wanders from sector to
sector enterfering and sometimes even helping.

 Wandering fighters and mercenaries can be found all over as well. There is
even a Galactic Mafia that can hurt or help. There is a supply ship that 
wanders around while you are off line checking out all the ports.

 There will be a Traders Market or Mall for both good and evil players. I 
haven't even mentioned wandering planets, wandering Stardocks in some
universes.

 If thats not enough, you have to contend with random fuel leaks, random
fuel boost, anonymous donations, anonymous tips, technology advances,
Ferrengi sabotages, bank robberies, Black holes, SuperNova,s, Citadel
accidents, wandering crystalline entities, the plague and Ferrengi grudges.

 So, you think your a good TW2002 trader? Read on for rules and details.

                         RULES AND DETAILS  (VBG) 09/24/93

1. No employees, sysops, cosysops of ECLECTIC ONLINE are eligible or
   family members of the above. This does not include HOST. HOST are those
   users that moderate variuos conferences on Wildnet! or SocalNET. HOST
   will be allowed to participate because they have NO co-sysop access.
   Also, no programmers of any of the utilities used are allowed to play.

2. Game  starts January 1, 1993 and ends December 31, 1994. There will be a
   minimum of 10 players.

3. There will be a maximum of 75 Traders.

4. Traders will have a seperate access code other than your standard or
   member access. You will have access to only one line. (Only one trader
   at a time can play anyway).

5. There will have to be a minimum of ten players. If there are not ten
   players your game fees will be refunded.

6. PAYOUTS are teired as follows:
   Number of Traders                GRAND PRIZE
   =================                ===========
   10-19 players                       $100.00   
   20-29 players                       $250.00
   30-39 players                       $350.00
   40-49 players                       $450.00
   50-75 players                       $500.00

   The differences in payout will go to the programmers that wrote the
   code for some of the utilities. ECLECTIC ONLINE gets nothing.

7. The games will be backed up every night with a different tape. Every
   Sunday night (actually 00.01am Moday mornig) full back ups and weekly
   maintenance will be performed that will have the system down for 
   several hours. 

8. The line will also be down EVERY morning from 3:00am-4:00am for E-mail
   runs.

9. Should the game totally  crash in the first three months, the game will
   will be reset. Should the game crash AFTER three months, the Grand prize
   will be given out on a prorated basis at such time. (Bear in mind that
   the hard drive, PC, mother board, etc. that this game is on is BRAND NEW!).

10. Grand prize will be equally split among each player of the Top
    corporation. No awards for individual score. You MUST be a corporation
    even if you play as an individual.

11. There will be a maximum of four (4) trades per corporation.

12. An individual can buy as many players as he wants. Each trader will
    cost $10.00. This is seperate from any member fees paid. Access  will
    be limited to this game ONLY.

13. The game will be set to a year old game (i.e. 360 day old game.)

14. For any rule to be changed will require a unanymous vote from all
    participates with the exception of the grand prize money.

15. New features may be added by the sysop at any time. A complete back-up
    will be performed first.

16. Blowing up of Star Dock in the first universe is prohibited. You may 
    blow up any other Star Dock. If possible, it will be rebuilt however.

17. If you are stuck in any sector I will try to tow you out at a cost
    of $50,000.00 credits.

18. If any bugs that cause problems in the game are found that cannot be 
    fixed, all traders will be informed and that utiltiy will be deleted.
    Keep in mind that I have been testing these utilities for 6 months
    in door # 9 on my board.

19. You may practice in door 9 until November 20th, at which time the door
    will be closed. This is an estimate. It could stay open longer.

20. Other rules may be added prior to January 1, 1993.

21. When you first start the game in January my name (Rick King) will 
    still be on the roaster from testing. It will probably have a high
    score so that I may move around the universe without problems. When
    the game starts on January 1st, I will be self destructing this name.
    I WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING OR INTERFERRING IN ANY WAY.

REMEMBER - This game will be limited to 75 traders. You should send in your
entry as soon as possible to reserve your spot. Slots will be open until
all 75 are filled, even if it is after January 1, 1993.

NOTE: This is not a "FOR PROFIT GAME". ECLECTIC ONLINE gets nothing from
      this contest. This is totally user funded. Access funds will be 
      distributed to the programmers of the various utilities.
