In addition to the two try outs in 'Popcentrum 013' a third show has been confirmed on November 15th in Tivoli Utrecht. This will be the last ‘back to basic’ show preceeding WT's special concert in 'het Beursgebouw'. The presale for this third try-out starts on Saturday October 27th.

As you've probably noticed the e-cards that you can send from the interactive section of our site have been the same for ages. We would like to add a couple of new designs, but we're asking you to help us out here. Would you like to see your e-card on the TSF site? Then what are you waiting for? Get started and send your design to info@thesilentforce.com before January 1st. Obviously only the coolest and most creative entries will be published on the site.

Is the chance to have your e-card design at www.TheSilentForce.com not enough motivation to show your creativity? For the 5 most beautiful entries we will be giving away 5 signed copies of The Heart Of Everything!

As usual, entries will become the property of The Silent Force and correspondence concerning the outcome of this contest is not possible. The only thing that is different, is the fact that you can submit as many entries as you like. (Though you can obviously only win once, this might of course increase your chances of winning ;)) Good luck!

The try-out show on november 22nd has been sold out so fast that WT has decided to added a second ‘back to basic’ show in 013! This concert will take place on November 21st.

Both evenings will be a try-out for the sold our concert at 'het Beursgebouw' in Eindhoven. The presale for this second ‘try out’ starts Saturday October 27nd.

November 22nd WT will perform at 013 in Tilburg. Right now they're preparing for their show at 'het Beursgebouw' in Eindhoven on November 24rd. To get in shape they'll be doing a back-to-basic show in Tilburg's 013! Back to basic as in: a basic show that you won't be used to for a small audience. Especially because of the latter this will be a night you don't want to miss. Only 700 tickets will be available, the doors op at 19:30 and the show starts at 21:00. Presale has started last Saturday, but there are still tickets, so you better hurry up!

As you may have noticed there have been some changes to the TSF site. ;) Especially at the 'back' of the site a few improvements were absolutely necessary, but as a member you won't really notice this. There are, apart from the changed lay-out of course, some new features and changes at the 'front' of the site as well:

- You can now choose to give other fanclub members the opportunity to send you an e-mail through the site. This way it will become easier to get in touch with other WT fans. You can find this option on your profile page, which you can find in the members section of the site.

- It is possible to hide your last name, so only your first name, place of residence and country will be visible to other members. A couple of times members have asked for this feature to ensure their privacy and it is now possible. This setting can be changed your profile page as well.

- From now on you'll find a link on top of the site, which tells you whether you're logged on and allows you to log off with just one click. Especially easy for members that are sharing their PC with other users and want to avoid others using their account.

- The number of countries in the registration form has been extended, so now fans from all countries can join The Silent Force!

- The new TSF t-shirt is now also available for ordering through the site. A photo will follow as soon as possible. You can still order the old girlie shirt for only €10,-.

- In the fanclub section you'll now find a page with banners. Place one of them on your site and help TSF to unite even more WT fans.

- From now on you'll need your password to change your profile. Another piece of extra security, to ensure only you can change your own profile.

- The shop is unfortunately temporarily unavailable. We're currently looking into alternative possibilities to let you profit from the 10% discount on WT CD's and DVD's and expect to have this back online in a few weeks.

- The same goes for the German and French version of the site. At the moment these are mainly in English. We're working on this and these languages should be available again within a couple of weeks. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Should you run into any errors while using the site or have suggestions for other improvements we'd be happy to hear from you. You can mail them to webmaster@thesilentforce.com.

The solution to the puzzle from the 5th fanzine is ITS THE FEAR. 2 winners were drawn from all the correct entries:

- Gabriella Chiodo from Rome, Italy
- Patrick Vinke from Schoonebeek, Netherlands

The prizes (a signed WT shirt) will be shipped to the winners as soon as possible! CONGRATULATIONS!

Though it is of course impossible for us to determine who is the biggest WT fan out there, we thought the following people were the most convincing:

- Liisa Koskinen from Vantaa (Finland) - Clearly an enormous collection of WT stuff!
- Natasha Alweyn from Perth (Australia) - If you travel all the way from Australia each time just to see WT you must be a real fan.
- Janne Hoogervorst from Hoorn (Netherlands) - She's even wearing a WT outfit
- Natascha Liebregts from Eindhoven (Netherlands) - The WT logo almost takes up the whole room
- Ana Coroas from Braga (Portugal) - A very original photo!

The winners will receive their prize as soon as possible. Congratulations!

We have great news! WT has been nominated for 4 Dutch TMF Awards and 1 Belgian TMF Award! To win one or more Awards they really need your vote.

Though The Silent Force is, of course, the Within Temptation fanclub, we would this time like to ask your attention for the new band of Martijn Westerholt, WT's ex-keyboard player. His band Delain now has the unique opportunity to represent Dutch music at the European MTV Awards! For this to happen, however, they'll need to beat the other Dutch acts Jeckyll & Hyde, Fedde le Grande, C-mon & Kypski and Moke. And for this they would like to ask for your help!

Please vote for Delain as often as you can and ask everybody you know to do so as well, so Delain can represent Dutch music at the European MTV Awards!
