ISD Challenge Weekly Report #14 –
15th of January 2007 |

Introduction |
Greetings,
I’m sorry for the lateness of this report, had real life issues to
attend to.
On with it, this was not a good week to the Challenge. We lost one
of our oldest members. CPT Rover was AWOL’ed, leaving Tornado
Squadron with only four pilots. The sad thing is that he might not
have been the only one. There will be more losses by the end of the
week, since the Challenge will be cleaning its roster of any
inactive pilots. Understand that inactive pilots are the pilots that
won’t even bother enough to communicate with his/her Squadron
Commander. So, if you have not been in touch for a while, make sure
you contact your Commanders by the end of the week.
This will make our numbers fall even more, and thus making me
emphasize even more the need to recruit. I know that there are some
people doing a good job and recruiting, and we will see the fruits
of this hard work soon enough. But we need more, so go out there and
start recruiting.
It appears that our pilots are not the only ones getting AWOL’ed.
The Training Officer himself seems to be AWOL, and GA Astatine will
be handling the IWATS Core and competition approvals for the time
being...here’s why Wing X Pilot of the Week/Month 3 took so long to
get approved :(
Admiral Master went on leave, and so highscores will take a little
longer to be processed, since not even his CA can process them. If
you have a highscore pending, it might take a while. But before he
went on leave, he recommended the medals for the TIE Golf
competition. So, congrats to me, Saul and Diaboli for getting some
shinies ;)
I’ve been helping LT Zosite with a few TIE tactics to get
highscores. What we’re doing is that he picks a free mission
sometimes, and we both fly the mission, and discuss tactics to
achieve the highscore. This week we flew TIE-Free 217. Since I’d
like to be equal among my pilots, you are all free to do the same.
Let me know if any of you is interested in it.
HA Frodo March wants to know if we want to do some multiplayer
tournaments for Star Wars Battlefront 2 in the TIE Corps. Give your
answer at
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4399.
I’ll not respond, since, sadly, I have never played Battlefront 2...
LOA is open for applications. The LOA will be responsible for
working with the Wiki.
Omega Squadron Commander position is open for applications.

to the one the LO chooses.
* TO’s Own
The title
of Training Officer's Own will be awarded to the ship whose pilots
pass the most IWATS courses per pilot in each month. For the
purposes of this competition, Omega and Praetorian Elite Squadrons
will be judged as separate ship-equivalent entities. IS-BR for the
participating pilots.

Master's Monthly Map Mayhem
Start Date:
10/1/2006
Parties Involved: EH-wide
Medals: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR (or subgroup equivalent) each month.
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.
Maps will be judged on: Technical realization (use wat u got),
general plotline & general enjoyment.
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.
* Frozen Doom
Competition
The weekly
multiplayer combat calendar events are returning! Starting with the
Frozen Doom Competition!!! It will be held on Tuesdays from 1900 EST
to 2200 EST!
Host is GN Ric Taldrya! Matches take place in #EHCOO, COME
ONE COME ALL!
Having said that, DFCs will no longer be awarded for 24/7 LoCs. They
will only be awarded for winning combat calendar events. If you do
fly a 24/7 LoC match, e-mail the scores to
coo@emperorshammer.org.
* 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 3
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 Ship, amused the
Commodore, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper bag.
This week's winner is:
LT Zosite Konstyte
Styles, for
flying tons!!!
|
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:
CPT Rover, for being
AWOL’ed...so long, my friend, return as soon as you can...
|
Quote of the Week |
Zosite: “By the way,
Lieutenant Colonel Dirty Vader is a great opponent, indeed!!
Too bad
he left us for Praetorian... :-\”
Yeah,
I’ll say...

Conclusion
|
It has being a little tough. But I’m glad we have some pretty good
people in this ship. These guys do their jobs and go beyond, and
they are an example of commitment to the Challenge. I am proud of
you.
I have one thing I’d like to ask you all: don’t get AWOL’ed. Besides
that, help the Challenge grow in strength, by helping your Commander
in any way he needs, especially in recruiting. Have a great week,
and always be active, except when RL tells you not to ;)
