IBA Needs Your Help

 

As timing would have it, our keeper of IBA’s player email list got hit with a virus which is being cleaned up now.  The email list is safe, but email announcements cannot be distributed.  Please tell your friends to check in here for the latest information.

 

IBA Events Resume At Pogo

 

Many of you have anxiously been waiting for this announcement.  Your responses to our Player Poll warmed the hearts of the world.  Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with IBA.  (To view the responses, just click the Player Poll icon above.)

 

Your IBA Team agreed unanimously that when our players showed their support, we would resume our events.  That message of support was clearly received in the Player Poll replies.  However, we want you to know that we have taken a very firm stand against allowing IBA Events to be used for a political forum.  

 

Any player displaying malice toward others based on nationality, religion, or political stance during IBA events will be muted by all players and a report will be filed immediately with Pogo’s Disciplinary Action Team.  Further, that player will be listed as unwelcome in any future IBA events.  There will be no exceptions.

GammonVillage Open!

IBA Adds a New Tournament Slot to Our Line Up

 

Beginning September 22, 2001, IBA will host a 6PM PT Tournament each Saturday thanks to our Intern Huggles_IBA!  As soon as she gets her host smiley, she will take over this slot permanently.  Let’s all get to know her and welcome her to our Saturdays.  🙂

 

IBA’s Safe List

IBA is very concerned about the well being of all of our family.  Those known to be in the New York/Washington D.C. areas are uppermost in our minds.  We are posting those player names here that have contacted IBA to let us know they are safe and sound.  Please pass the word to everyone effected to get in touch with us at northernjoy@northernsworld.com and we will list their name here.

IBA Cares…

Your IBA Team has joined in support of an incredibly unique approach to cancer research.  Everything is on the level. This is the ultimate win-win situation. 

Unlike other methods of volunteering or contributing money to cancer research, you can help just by downloading a small program to your PC  What it does is download via the internet drug molecular sequences.  It uses complicated math that would take 100’s of years of research to test the drugs against the cancer proteins.  This happens in just seconds on your PC.  And you do not have to be online except for sending and receiving new packets to be processed.

By combining thousands of ordinary PCs to work on extremely large computational projects, problems can be solved more quickly and less expensively than by conventional methods. Now regular people can help fuel research and projects that previously may have required a bank of supercomputers or a hundred years to complete.

Members of the Volunteer Your PC program are rewarded for computer time that normally would go to waste, project partners can access more computing power to advance their projects and we all get to feel terrific because we are changing the world.
