Introduction |
Hello pilots,
This has been a very busy week!! There were several good and bad
news we need to get ino in this report, so let’s start with the bad
ones...
Cyclone has lost four, yes, four....one, two, three, four....pilots
this week. This terrible loss includes CPT Adam Szydlowski, who left
for the reserves, and MAJ Fink, MAJ Michael and CM Etras Aglen who
have been AWOL’ed due to lack of communications to the fleet. It
amazes me how all of the sudden such veteran pilots loose interest
in the TC, at the point of not getting in touch with their friends
of so many years for much more than a month... Following these news,
do I have to say anything else about recruiting?? I know some of you
are working on it, and I appreciate it, but we could use more help...
But the good news is that an old friend has joined back this week.
It’s CM Garrett Hap’kette, who has returned to the ranks of Tornado
Squadron early this week. Following his arrival, Garrett has taken a
Flight Leader spot in Tornado (and the other was taken by CM
APanasyuk), and has already assisted COL Domi by creating a new
homepage for Tornado....check
http://tornado.tcbg.net/ and see his progress. Besides his new
FL spot, Garret has also been chosen to be one of the new Internet
Office Assistant....wow, what a comeback!!!
And LT Zjon, who we thought was AWOL, was not!!! And he’s back to
Tornado!!! Great news of Zjon coming back!!!
Other great news this week is that we had four officers in this ship
who have been awarded the Commendation of Loyalty out of twelve CoLs
awarded overall in the TC. The CoL is a very hard medal to get, and
this honor has been bestowed upon COL Darklord, your Wing Commander,
LC Kadon Beir, the Cyclone Squadron Commander, MAJ Murleen, Omicron
Squadron Commander, and MAJ Diaboli, Omicron Flight Leader.
Well, Diaboli won’t be a FL for long, since in a few days he will be
assuming command of the elite Omega Squadron. We wish him the best
in his new command, which has already four pilots in it!!!
As you know, there is a flying competition going on this week, and
it will run until Wednesday. Pilots are to fly TIE-Free 263 for the
best score possible. Be the best scorer, and you’ll get an IS-SW.
Runner Up gets an IS-BW...beat my score (76,262) and you will also
get an IS-BW!! Go fly!!
Zosite Konstyte Styles has been promoted to Lieutenant Commander
this week, and also to Cyclone Squadron Flight 2 Leader. Zosite’s
career has been so amazing so far, that even got him congratulated
by the TIE Corps Commander himself in the TIE Corps news page.
Besides that, Zosite has been awarded yesterday his first
Distinguished Flying Cross, for being the best EH player in the XvT
Week of War!!! Amazing!!! If it wasn’t enough, this excellent
officer was also awarded a Medal of Instruction!!!! Don’t ask me
what happened to the cadet...
And another exciting news has been the choice of the Challenge
website as the Internet Officer Site of the Week!!! Yours truly has
been awarded an IS-SR for it...Check the website often, because I’m
doing changes all the time, and today I might include the Flying
competition.
LC Tempest has created a whole bunch of new uniforms to the fleet.
If you haven’t already, check your admin page in the TC database,
and see the new uniforms and vote for some surveys. The new uniforms
look amazing!! And there’s also a thread in the message boards about
this, discussing lots of things uniform-related. Check it in the
MBs.
There has also been a survey about IWATS in the administration page.
If you haven’t logged in yet, do so!!
HA Frodo March is organizing a multiplayer competition for SW
Battlefront 2, and if you are interested in participating, sign in
with him. An IS-PW is up for grabs!!!! Mail
fo@emperorshammer.net if you are interested...
And congrats are in order to CM Rondo, Commander of Typhoon
Squadron, for today is his 19th birthday!! Happy birthday, Rondo!!!

*
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.
* 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:
CM Garrett
Hap’kette,
for coming back to the best ship ever after five long years in the
reserves!!!
|
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:
There are so
many....but I’ll stick with the AWOL ones :D
|
Quote of the Week |
Threre are several
this week :D
1- Azurin: “As long as
you don't think I'm going to dance for you guys :P”
Garrett: “Ah I would
never suggest such a thing Colonel! *hides promotional posters
featuring Col. Azurin*”
Zosite: “Yeah... good
movement, Commander... Now go and hide also those you hung from the
Shield Generators.
Someone
could eventually notice them!”
Azurin: “btw, there
may be a way to get me dancing for everybody :P”
Dan: “And that would
beee......”
Garrett: “/me breaks
out a pen and paper to take notes, then unlocks his stash of
pre-made promotional posters just in case”
Azurin: “Did you
really think I would tell you? :P”
Oskar: “I can think of
one way to get Azurin to dance for us, thats if I threaten to dance
for everyone in the cantina, performing my 'Imperial Maintenance
Cleaner' strip routine, Im sure you don't want to see that ; )”
Zosite: “Mmmmm... I'm
not sure about this, Osk... Perhaps all the benefits that come with
the "solved problem" would be overcomed by all the harm to our minds
and souls that the "solution" itself could cause... Even worse, all
of us have access to some blaster weapons, and here on the Challenge
we have and we're VERY happy to. Mix it with the fact that our sight
and accuracy outside a starfighter cockpit suck with the proper
booze and you'll find yourself in trouble...
Why would Colonel Azurin Luna find useful to dance since
your...ejemm... "threat" has been turned into a pìle of dust
featuring a LCM rank badge and a mop over the scenario?”
Saul: “Shush, Zós!
You'll give it away to Az that we're bluffing, and then our cunning
plan won't work!
Osk doesn't need to dance, he just needs to threaten to! To
paraphrase Tarkin, the threat of Osk dancing on tables is a much
more effective tool than him actually dancing! :P”
2 – Kadon: “LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER STYLES!!! FIX that ID LINE this
instant! Before I revoke my recommendations for that
promotion. FM? FM? You are no bloody FM
anymore.... Check again my pilot,
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/rosters/view.asp?squadron=43
You are a Flight Leader as well!!!!”
Zosite: “Yessir!!!
Three Bags Full, Sir! Just hoping to not make any mistake with all
this hurry!
Let's see... FC/LC
Zósite...mmm...was it a MoC or a MoH?...mmm...[IMPR]...
That's it! :D

Kadon: “Domi... Zosite and Styles are the same guy :D”
Osk:
“They are! My god!
I was telling Styles
the other day about the bottle of special brew I stole off
Zosite...no wonder he was looking at me funny :D”
Domi:
“heh Looks like I might need to slow down on the Chalquilla myself
after that last email in which I somehow split Zosite in two. Oh
well, at least both halves got the same promotion! :P”
Zosite:
“ tHHHHHIS ish K-Kósite talllkinggh tuu you, Colonehl Domi, !!!

What a long report...I’m sorry for that, but there were just too
much information this week...and I guess that’s a good thing, since
most of the information was good news and fun quotes ;)
Anyways, you all have a job to do, so go fly for the competition,
and don’t forget about recruitment efforts!! Good luck, and have a
nice week!!!
