UK fan site (Rod Latham); Worlds 2000 board and 2000 interviews

New page

'''Trandosite''' was a UK SWCCG fan site run by [[Rod Latham]] ('''The Unknown Trandoshan'''; anagram handle Res Luk Ra'auf). Latham started it in October 1998. The surviving homepage snapshot is titled a shutdown notice and marked last updated 9 July 2001. The site billed itself as Europe's main SWCCG site of that period: news, articles, decks, UK tournament coverage, a 2000 Worlds qualifier board, and a run of player interviews.

The reading copy of those interviews is on this wiki ([[Interviews]] and the player articles). The original HTML is on Wayback. Worlds 2000 qualifier names and later championship deck pages can be built from the site's Worlds and Decks sections; those deck pages are not dumped here yet.

== What it had ==

Nav bar on the 5 April 2005 Wayback capture of main.htm:

* Today's News · Deck Clinic · World Finals 2000
* What Is SWCCG? · Articles · Mini-Articles · Decks · Tournament Reports
* Interviews · UK Tournament Area · Have/Want List · Links · Xtra: Archives · Staff Writers

'''Decks''' (post–Death Star II, Light / Dark / other / archives) are tournament-viable lists the site said were split by strategy (ROps, Hunt Down, BHBM, …). '''World Championships 2000''' (`worlds00.htm`) is a qualifier table (country + which championship seat) plus links to Worlds-finals history and wild-card results. Use that table when the wiki builds Decipher-era Worlds pages.

'''Staff''' on the captured staff page: Rod Latham (webmaster, Taunton), Alex Tennet (assistant webmaster, Newcastle), Rob Ronnlund, Eric Bailey, Dan Mailloux.

== Interviews ==

Sixteen player interviews, April–October 2000, mostly by Latham (some with Alex Tennet / B. Beveridge). Full copies live on the player pages and are indexed at [[Interviews]].
