ISD Challenge Report #10
RA Daniel Bonini

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #10

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #10 – 18th of December 2006

 

Introduction

Hello there,

Not much happened inside the ship this week, besides MAJ Diaboli, LT Zosite and LT Thorper flying like hell, and some IWATS courses being taken. Diaboli is in the highlights, though, for filling our mail boxes with BSF approvals. He is fighting for the Ace of the TIE Corps title of the year of 2006, and right now he is in advantage....hope he can manage to win, and bring yet another trophy to the Challenge, on this already glorious year!!

CA:FO has been chosen...congrats to VA Jarek La’an, who left the Redemption to join the Command Staff once again. And also congrats to MAJ Czulvang Lah, who has been appointed as the new Wing XIX Commander.

Diaboli has hit the news page again, by making a donation for the maintenance of the TIE Corps, by means of server upgrades. This is most appreciated, as the Fleet Commander has many costs to keep us up and running. Nice gesture, Diaboli, again...

One of the most important news this week, or maybe this month, was the decision of the Tactical Office to add to the EH Cheating Policy that using old pilot files to submit for a new competition s considered cheating. Pilots are recommended to keep their pilot files “just in case”, but no one is allowed to use their old pilot files for new submissions. Keep this in mind...if a new comp has released with a mission you have already flown, fly it again...

This practice has been used by the Challenge to ensure the victory in the TCBG Escort Squadron/Flagship competition, but then it was not considered cheating, and plus, the competition’s rules specifically mentioned that it would be allowed to submit old pilot files and BSFs. I doubt that will ever happen again, though, with this new rule being applied....meaning, next time you will have to fly it all over again, you maniacs ;)

TIE Golf results were released, and sadly, it was not a Challenge pilot who took first place. Congratulations to CM Dave Darklighter for taking first place, and also congrats to me, CM Saul Rostek and MAJ Diaboli for participating in this very fun competition.

The Command Staff has decided to close down the ISD Vanguard. This is a terrible loss for the TCBG, as it is now a three ship Battle Group. The remaining Vanguard pilots will be transferred to the Subjugator in the reopening of Krayt Squadron. Go fly XWA-TC 40 to celebrate Krayt Squadron reopening...

According to the System Manual (
http://sysman.emperorshammer.net/) the EH is in control of ten systems.
Each month Master is going to pick a planet from one of the EH Controlled Systems* from the manual. Those interested will then have the remainder of the month to create a Empire at War or SW Galactic Battlegrounds or Jedi Academy map based on that planet.

*Master may throw in the odd other planet from SW from time to time with more bonuses.
Designers are free to do as they like with the map provided basics stay true to the System Manual information.

All maps should be submitted ala standard TACcy Rules and via the Custom BSF (
http://tac.emperorshammer.net/tacdb/batsubmit.asp)
All maps will be judged by TAC.

* Ace of the Tie Corps
Starting this month, we now have a new monthly competition series - Ace of the TIE Corps. The concept is simple - the pilot with the most flown missions at the end of each month will recieve an Iron Star with Gold Wings and the title "Ace of the Month". You will be able to see the progress of pilots over time by checking the Pilot Kill Board. At the end of the year, the pilot with the most missions flown will recieve an Iron Star with Platinum Wings and the title of "Ace of the TIE Corps".
The competition is open to all members of the TIE Corps and the counts are based on missions.

* Imperial Alliance Propoganda Festival
Submit content to help promote Imperial Alliance. This can include banners, slogans, etc. The best entry each week will get an IS-GR. The best entry overall will be selected when Imperial Alliance is released and will be awarded an IS-PR. Email entries to propoganda@ehtiecorps.org. Competition will run through January 30th, 2007.

* Quote of the Week competition
Got some funny IRC quotes? Send them in! Top 3 submissions per week earn an IS-BR; top 3 submissions per month earn an IS-SR; IS-PR to the yearly winner, IS-GR to second best yearly submission, and a IS-SR to the third best yearly submissions. Email the quotes to FA Joe (Noon001@aol.com). Only rules are they must have been said within the last 2 weeks (no old, archived quotes) and you can't send in quotes of things that you have said. Must be amusing things others have said. Competition will run through January 21st, 2007.

* Wing X Pilot of the Week/Month 2
Each week the Wing X Commander will choose a pilot he believes has performed better then any other pilot on the ship that week. At the end of the month, Challenge Commodore will look at the overall performance of every Pilot of the Week for that month, and will choose one of them to become the Pilot of the Month. Each Pilot of the Week will be awarded an IS-BR and each Pilot of the Month will be awarded an IS-SR. The Wing X Pilot of the week will always be chosen in the Wing Commander’s report.

 

Dark Lord of the Week

The highly prestigious title of Dark Lord of the Week is only given to the person who has most advanced the success of the Wing, amused the Wing Commander, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper bag. This week's winner is:

MAJ Diaboli, for flying over 50 Free-Missions

 

Ewok of the Week

Yub Yub!

Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's Prize Ewok is none other than:

 

P, for dying...

 

Quote of the Week

Talons: “On second thought, school just plain kills. Period.”

Boy, I’ll say...
