ISD Challenge Weekly Report #30

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #30 – 7th of May 2007

 

Introduction

Greetings,

Challenge vs. Redemption competition has come to an end. We are still compiling results, but it should be out shortly. Regardless of the result, I am very proud of Challenge’s participation. You did great!!! Seventeen pilots flying for this comp, and for others, which also counted for this one, and some pilots flying like hell!!! Anyway, 17 is a good number, but in a ship of 40...it could be even better. Congratulations to both Challenge and Redemption crews for making this a very fun comp to host :)

As soon as I get the reply from VA Pellaeon, we’ll be publishing the results and awarding the medals for those who achieved them. They will be in your inboxes by the end of this week, hopefully.

We are a little late on the MSE/MWE deal, due to some cataclysmic events taken place on the cantina, but I hope this will also be sorted by the end of this week...I apologize to the higher ups for this delay.

As you probably read on Darklord’s report, we are going to lose tcbg.net server in a matter of weeks. We are already looking for hosting space alternatives for the Challenge, and we’ll keep you posted on what will happen now...

Gladly, the whole deal of LC Kadon Beir stepping down as Cyclone Commander is in the past. He has reassumed command of the squadron, and is ready to continue his tour ahead of this great squadron.

We’ve gained a new pilot this week. CPT Bodo Dent, former Red Squadron Commander aboard the fish tank, has arrived on Cyclone Squadron’s Flight 3.

Sadly, we’ve lost two pilots this week. CPT Alexi Stukov and CM Shivor Dahr are both set to go to the M/FRG Phoenix on the next shuttle departing from the hangar bay.

This brings our numbers even lower, and I’m sad to see that recruitment efforts seem to be fading in the last months. It’s not looking good, people...several squadrons need immediate reinforcement. Let’s try to improve our recruiting activities again!!

TIE Corps Squadron Tournament is still going on. Round 3 has ended today, and we are expecting results in the near future. Be prepared for round 4.

The Executive Officer, Sector Admiral Cyric, went on leave for this week, and should be back next Saturday. Meanwhile, everything meant to go to him should go directly to the Fleet Commander, Grand Admiral Astatine.

There are several IWATS Professor spots open for applications. The courses you can teach are the following: Advanced Multiplayer, Flash, Graphics, Linux, PHP, Rebellion Tactics, Trillian, SWGB Mission Creation, Multiplayer. Apply today to the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer!!

The Science Officer, Fleet Admiral Den Darkhill, has developed a new game, called Project Steel, or 2942 - A Space Opera. It’s a top down shooting game, like 1942. It’s still a demo, but it’s already downloadable from the SCO website. Here http://www.ehtiecorps.org/reports/report.asp?reportid=20077&commandstaffid=10  will take you to the latest SCO report, which has the link to the download.

Thats right, the Flight Office has a new competition running! THE TIE CORPS SQUADRON TOURNAMENT! It will be a simple matter of flying one of the three missions (one for each platform per week). The Squadron with the best participation over the course of the 4 weeks (4 rounds) will win IS-GWs for all participating members! If there is a TIE, the highest score between the tied Squadrons will win.
This week's missions are:
XvT-Free 203
TIE-Free 253
XWA-Free 127
Remember not to send the files to Frodo, simply BSF them and he will do the rest from there!

* The Number of the TIE Flying Beast
655 Graduates have passed through the TIE Tactics course to date, the 666th to complete it successfully will receive an IS-GR - only way to have a chance is sto take the exam - and hopefully be the 11th to do so!

* Build That Mission
The first pilot to pass the new TM/3 course with 100% will earn an IS-BR!!

* The Corellian Connection
Every quarter of the year, the TM prof will provide the briefing for a mission. The briefing will include a basic storyline, but won't be too specific. People can build a mission using that briefing question ad submt em to the TM prof. Missions will be judged based on technical aspects, originaity, and overall feeling. Each quarter, the winner can win an IS-BW (each time). People who win 3 times get an IS-SW (only 1 per PIN), people who win 5 times get an IS-GW (one per PIN). Starts on June 1st and ends on June 30th.

* 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 (looks like it was postponed...)
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!!!!!
Details: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4496
06 Submissions: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4441

* Wing X Pilot of the Week/Month 5
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:

The 17 pilots that flew for the competitions!!! Ok, ok, I’ll name them: Angel, Zosite, Woody, Gward, Murleen, Dempsey, Sergeyli, Dan, Xgmx, Oskar, Great Griffin, Toran, Wolf, Saul, Godo, Bjorn and APanasyuk

 

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:

 

The ones that didn’t, except those with good reason for not flying...you are ok ;)

 

Quote of the Week

1 – Beir: “Drinks are on me for being a wanker! Get 'em while they're hot... or cold....”

Morph: “::grabs a few bottles of rum and sneaks away::”

Saul: “*scratches his head* Why is the rum gone?!”

Osk: “Can I have a latte?

/me wonders why everyone is looking at him strange

With whiskey of course! I thought I wouldnt have to add that in... :P”

You scared me for a while :D

2 – Dempsey: “As always, drinks are on Zosite for being pilot of the week!”

Zosite: “Interesting... I didn't think you were so well provided of booze to put your confidance on him to pay anything... xD”

Dempsey probably hides booze under the mattress :D

3 - Dempsey: “I'm sorry to see you go, Commander, let's hope we can find someone who can do the job as good as you can soon!

Welcome back to Cyclone, commander! Guess you are now living proof that once you go Cyclone, you never go back!”

Dan: “LOL. ‘Bye Beir, hi Beir’”

Osk: “Heheh, drink Beir”

All Osk can think of... :D

4 – Zosite’s promotion to CM story...I won’t post it here for being large, but it’s good :D if anyone wants it, let me know because I’m keeping a copy, for when Medical Officers come asking for the insane one....irrefutable proof :D
