Sad News This Confederation Day

What would normally be the largest holiday of the Confederation year in Wing Commander is marred by some sad news in real life. I'm at a loss as to what to say here.. so to make it brief.. further eye complications (that some might remember kept LOAF offline for several days before our Birthday) resurfaced and forced LOAF to undergo emergency surgery last week shortly after his arrival in Austin. We're a bit unclear on the details, but from what we can tell, it may be at least several weeks before we get a positive/negative prognosis. So for all intents and purposes right now, we are without LOAF for some time. As such, we believe LOAF could really use some encouraging material to get well soon. If you'd like to contribute a written message or a recorded wav/sound file that will eventually reach LOAF, please email us at news@wcnews.com. If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to email us or stop by #Wingnut.

Wing Commander Weeks Away in Australia

Pilgrim Stars Contemplation

I've noticed that Amazon.com still reports that Pilgrim Stars will not be available until September, but Barnes and Noble reports it's available now... only you have to wait 1-2 weeks for it to ship, as opposed to the "24 hours" usually required of most books. Why do I get the feeling that B&N won't be getting the book any sooner than anybody else, and is just advertising the book as available to capture the early-release sales?

Wing Commander Dawn of Freedom MUSH Opens

For anyone who is interested in a new Wing Commander MUSH with a fantasic RP envirnoment then check out Dawn of Freedom. It is set 6 months after the Temblor Bomb was dropped on Kilrah. Some of the Kilrathi, however, felt that they would rather die with honor forming the Cult of Sivar. Tension between the Terran Confederation and Union of Border Worlds begins to grow. Pirates make space unsafe for merchants who make a living in the stars. Space is still under construction and we are in our Beta Stage. PennMUSH is what the MUSH runs on. Characters are created via Chargen. Connect via telnet to valinor.sjsu.edu 1817
