Subject: BattleWatch Talks It Up, Real Time

After 2 months as a simple listing service, Project Magma has fleshed out their web-based BattleWatch game finder to incorporate news, a forum and real-time chat at bw.projectmagma.net.

After months of investigating existing real-time chat options, an IRC-based Java applet was selected that provided greatest compatibility and functionality. IRC users are also able to use dedicated clients to get into the #BattleWatch channel via the IRC server irc.accessirc.net. Instructions are available at the BattleWatch site.

News and design was kindly supplied by one of TFL's most community-active orders 'Mything In Action' ( http://www.m-i-a.net/ ) under the guidance of MIA's DeadMan and Evil, with server and networking implementation from Losk of the SJ order.

This communications web-hub completes stage two of a three stage plan set by Project Magma in April this year. While game detection has so far escaped the group, future revisions of the BattleWatch service will continue to explore this facility.

Entries continue to roll in for Project Magma's "Return of The Fallen Lords II: TOTAL CARNAGE" tournament, http://projectmagma.net.net/rotfl2/. With highly sought-after collectibles for the winners, tons of swag for the lucky and some very interesting people to play with in this Bungie-backed tournament, RoTFL2 is tipped to be the social highpoint of TFL this year!
