ISD Challenge Report #18

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #18

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #18 – 12th of February 2007

 

Introduction

Good evening, pilots,

We’ve just had another transfer out of the ship. This time it was COL Flint Darkstar, from Typhoon Squadron, that after completing Frodo’s Crazy Flying Challenge (check the “Competitions Center”) and been awarded an IS-GW and an IS-BR has moved to the IW Cruiser Redemption.

Typhoon and Cyclone Squadrons are now with only 5 pilots each, and recruiting efforts should be made in order to correct this problem. All Squadrons should have at least 6 pilots, so Citations are not all lost. Help your Commanders!! I don’t think I must remind you all that RECRUITING FROM ANOTHER SHIPS IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE TIE CORPS (well....except from M/FRG Phoenix)!!!! I am sure that none of you are doing this, but I feel the need to tell you either way. This means that you can’t bother any active pilot into joining our ship....but, on the other hand, it also means that you CANNOT be harassed by people from other ships into leaving the Chal...this excludes invitations by elite squadrons, of course, and they can hardly be called harassing :D

MSEs/MWE have been processed, and the medals have been awarded. Congrats to all who got a shiny!!! The Squadron Commanders have received feedbacks from their MSEs this week, by COL Darklord. I have to say I fully agree with all the feedbacks, and I hope they are serving to improve our ship’s administration.

CM Garrett has created a new Squadron Patch for Tornado: http://tornado.tcbg.net/images/torpatch.png. Check how it would look in a uniform too: http://tornado.tcbg.net/images/patchexamp.jpg. Great work!!! But it will have to wait to get in Tornado’s uniforms because of the upcoming change in the uniforms...

In a couple of days, former BGCOM Talons Pryde will get married!!!! Wish him, and his fiancée Jenn your congrats!!!

Fleet Admiral Den Darkhill has taken the job of Science Officer. We may finally get some major improvements in SCO in the future :)

The EH finished second in the Week of War. Congrats to Zosite, who took a major role in a very well fought battle, earning himself another DFC :)

Me and some other pilots have been testing the new TIE battle COL Domi is working on, so, expect a new Tornado TIE battle to be released in the near future :) Go Domi!!!

Yesterday ended the first round of AD Masters Flying competition, ad we are expecting results. Congrats to the ones who flew for it!!

The EH Freeworlds server has been upgraded to the 18.2 version. The new patch can be downloaded here: http://files.emperorshammer.net/index.php?act=view&id=5. There are also new codes of conduct and naming for FW, so check the message boards FW forum before entering the server.

AD Master wants us all to remember that, according to Section 8.4 of the EH Cheating Policy, no pilot can skip any missions in a battle for whatever reason. This will be the final warning, and there are talks of pain for the ones who break this rule...

I think there’s still time to participate in HA Frodo’s multiplayer competition for SW Battlefront 2, An IS-PW is up for grabs!!!! Mail fo@emperorshammer.net if you are interested...

Competitions

* Master’s Anniversary Bash!
Well as of Valentines Day this year, AD Master will have been in this mighty fleet for a total of six whole years. And to celebrate he’ll be running a fly comp each and every week of February. Each week throughout Feb, he’ll be flying one free from somewhere in the compendium. Not only will the top three receive medals, but any pilot who beats his score will win a IS-BW. In addition, at the end of the month. The pilots totalled scores will be judged and the three top rating pilots will again win more bobbles! Missions will vary from XW to XWA. All BSF's should go through your CMDR (etc) as normal. Then FWD AD Master the BSF approval form before the FREE's submission date. THE COMP BEGINS NOW!!
The first mission is TIE-FREE
#192 - When Cargo Ferries Attack
This mission's BSF is due no later than the 11th of Feb 2007.

* Frodo’s Crazy Flying Challenge!
Oh noes!  We all know I can't let Master get the comp spotlight! As promised, here is a crazy FO competition, amongst many more that might occur soon. 
This competition is going to try to please everybody who wants to fly...And maybe write a little!
Basically, it is still under consideration by the Comp approval authority, but I see no reasons why it would get refused.  So without further waiting, here is the competition details:
Each member of the TIE Corps that flies ALL of the following battles before March 10th 2007, will be awarded the IS-GW!:
TIE-DB 16
XvT-TC #32
XvT-TC #55
XvT-TC #59
XvT-TC #65
XvT-TC #86
XvT-TC #96
XWA-TC #52
XWA-DB #8
XvT-TC #108
Each pilot of the TIE Corps that flies all of the above battles, AND posts a decent review for each (as in, a review with at least two sentences, telling us what you think) will receive the IS-BR in addition to his IS-GW!
Any pilot who achieves a High Score on ANY of these battles between now and March 10th 2007, will receive the IS-SWs!!!!!! 
If somebody then beats your high score, and you re-beat it, you will get ANOTHER IS-SW!
Simple rules.  Simple fun! Let's get out there and FLY folks! :D

* Make the LO a New Banner Graphic
Make the LO a new banner for the LO website. The only limits is that it conforms with the pic that is currently in use, ie. similar dimensions and similar colours to the current websites colour scheme. Entries can be sent to the LO at lo@emperorshammer.org. Comp closes at the end of January. IS-GW 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.

* TIE Corps Training Competition
Every Saturday, 1300 to 1600 EST on #EHCOO
Multiplayer competition with XWA, XvT and IA. DFCs can be awarded.

* Competition – the spice of life...
MUHAHAHA.
A little friendly competition to liven up this very special report (TAC Report #250). This will be AD Master’s twenty first TAC report, in each of these reports at the top there’s is a movie/tv/game quote.
The first three to email AD Master with all 21 correct answers will win IS-GR, IS-SR & IS-BR (or subgroup equivalent).
The subject line of the email should read 'When TACcy Speaks...noone listens' :P
And don't forget to include your ID Line.
Let the madness begin!

* Let’s get ready to RUUUUUUUMBLE!
Ahhhh January, the only other time of year AD Master care about professional wrestling, why? Cause its the Royal Rumble, and this year..it was goooooood.
So following his current trend of shameless rip-off comps he’s starting a new comp!
Razz
Start Date: 10th February 2007
End Date: 24th February 2007
Medals: IS-GW x3 (or subgroup equivalent)
Missions: Custom Missions

Info: One FREE (each platform), one winner (again each platform).
The three winners (you can only win one platform) will then have the opportunity to enter the 'Shameless Wrestlemania competition' in April for an IS-PW.
Currently he’s hoping to have three custom missions of his done in time, but since he really hates making stuff under pressure (comes out crap and lame) he’s not promising nothing.
Oh and don't worry, they will be beta checked before you fly them
Razz

* Master's Monthly Map & Mission 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.
Additional M: AD Master has decided to change the plot of his funkily named competition for the new year.
He has added an additional M! Now the comp also includes our flying platforms! So that means when he gives us a planet each month you can base a TIE or even an XW free on that planet! Awards remains as an IS-GR each month, and he has yet to give away a single one
Sad
Anyway....
February's World of the Moment is.....Aurora Prime!!!
http://sysman.emperorshammer.net/aurora.php
The fabulous EH homeworld provides, warm days, cold nights, a Dark Jedi infested moon, three funky massive platforms and the ever impressive New Imperial City....think of all the fun you could have. MUHAHAHAHHAA!!!!
Winning submission will be judged by AD Master based on fun level, plotline and bribes! All submissions should go through the
Custom Battle Submission Form as always, with a MMMMM mentioned in the comments box.

* 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.

* Golden Tug Awards 2007
It's time once again to award the famed and feared Golden Tug Awards!!!!!

06 Submissions: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4441

* 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.

* Wing X Pilot of the Week/Month 4
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:

CM Garrett Hap’kette, for creating a new Squadron Patch for Tornado!!!

 

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:

 

COL Flint Darkstar, for leaving the best ship ever!!!

 

Quote of the Week

1 – Kadon: “*Inaudible Dialog, judging from facial expressions and lips,"Party?"*
*Starts swimming back for that airlock*”

Zosite: “if only I could learn those USMC techniques to start breathing without air when a party shows up...”

2 – Provided by LCM Zosite:

“<LCM_ZositeKS> Ok, but it would be better if you add something like "Subjugator Site/Website/Cantina/Dungeon/Mouse Droid's Haven" :)
<Marenac> we have a dungeon?!
<Czul> Mouse's Goofy Hat Emporium
<Marenac> lol
<Frothy> I like that place
<LCM_ZositeKS> I don't know if you have any dungeon! I'm from another ship! And there on the Challenge the only dungeon we have is a luxury one for the High Admiral, to avoid him to see the actual amount of booze filling each and every deck around... :P
<Frothy> I have it filled with my 28 packs of French Canadian Beer.
<Frothy> Challengites are too afraid to drink it :P
<LCM_ZositeKS> You see? It also prevents what it contains to go outside as well!! xD
<Frothy> yes, we keep it in the room right next to Zosite's BSFs.
<Marenac> interesting
<Frothy> Anywho. bbl.
* Frothy (~master_fr@70.48.239.147) Marcha (Quit: Global warming is just another empty promise)
<LCM_ZositeKS> I just hit the spot talking about HIS Canadian Beer! :P”

:D
