  • Important TWL/TWD notice - Must Read!

    We recently moved/upgraded our server software for the TWD/TWL sites, and unfortunately the password database isn't compatible with this new software. You won't be able to log into the TWD/TWL/TrenchWars sites until you change your password.

    Create a new password. To do this, follow these directions:

    1. Go to ?go twd

    2. Private Message (PM) TWDBot with !signup newpasswordhere. As an example, it should look like this - :TWDBot:!signup abcd1234

    2b. Your password must be at LEAST 5 characters long and contain at least 1 digit (0-9) or the bot will not accept it.

    Pretty easy. Keep in mind that we have had some people trying to bruteforce captains passwords on the TWD site. It's suggested to make a password that is at least 7 characters long, and contains at least 1-2 digits. Using those guidelines, your password will be a LOT harder for anyone to guess or bruteforce.

        If your password still works then you probably don't have to worry about it.

          Have software guess millions of passwords, one right after another. Called bruteforcing because it has all of the subtleties of opening a safe with a jackhammer, (and it relies on the brute force of a computer to perform an action quickly, repeatedly).

          Code:
          a
          b
          c
          ...
          aaaaaa
          aaaaab
          aaaaac
          .....
          zzzzzx
          zzzzzy
          zzzzzz
          People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else."

            Kyace: don't forget that it has to go through all permutations of numbers as well Although having numbers probably won't slow the program down much if the password is short.

                  can the new pass we sign up w/ be the same one as before if it follows the new requirements?
