ISD Challenge Weekly Report #21 –
05th of March 2007
Introduction
Hello, pilots,
And so ends February. All in all, not a bad month for us, as we
managed to suppress the AWOL frenzy that started in January. Several
new pilots have joined the ship, and we are overall presenting good
levels of activity. Congratulations, and keep it up!!
On the shuttle arriving from PLT Daedalus, we had this week the
transfer of Sub-Lieutenant Godo Nurok to Cyclone Squadron. And the
transport arriving from M/FRG Phoenix has brought along Commander
Shivor Dahr to Tornado Squadron. Sadly, that same transport took
along Commander Crix Talra, from Omicron Squadron. Welcome to the
new Wing X’ers and we hope that Crix returns when he can...
The Challenge is doing a very good job in HA Frodo’s Flying
Challenge. Several pilots are taking part in the comp...congrats and
keep it up!!!
Cyclone Commander, LC Kadon Beir, is working very hard on learning
the web creation things, and so far he has done an excellent work
coming up with a new website for Cyclone. Check
http://www.tcbg.net/cyclone and follow his progress!!
Congratulations again to LCM Zosite for being awarded a Silver Star
of the Empire. This is a great award, not been given out lightly,
and I cannot think of a person who deserves it more than Zosite!!
The other three Wing Commanders in the fleet have all been promoted
to Lieutenant Colonel. Congratulations to them!!
The EH has finished first place in the last Week of War. Many
congrats to LC Dirty Vader, LCM Zosite Konstyte Styles and LC
Stryker for achieving first, second and third places...way to go,
guys!!!
I am really not sure anymore, but 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...

Brew. But rumors are that there is a warehouse out there filled with
it. There will be a run-on posted in the Cyclone Board on the 10th.
The entire Challenge is open to this competition. Start date is
March 10th and end date is April 1st. IS-BR to overall best posts
judged by Kadon and appropriate MoC recommendations for posts!
* 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 last mission is TIE-FREE 263 – Impact! This mission's BSF is due no later than the
7th of March 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
* Friday’s Vaping
Rhapsody The new
Multiplayer competition hosted by our own LCM Zosite. They happen
every Friday at 15:30 EST on the #EHCOO channel. Platforms are XWA
and XvT, and DFCs can be awarded.
* 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! 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
*
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 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.
* 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:
SL Godo Nurok and
CM Shivor Dahr, for coming to the best
ship ever!!!
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:
CM Crix Talra, for
being AWOL’ed...
Quote of the Week
1 - Osk:
“We are the greatest, have no doubts! If only we had some
alcohol we would be invincible! :P”
Couldn’t agree more ;)
2 – Godo: “Thank you
for the warm welcome, I feel at this time I should make a speech in
light of this momentous occasion. First I would like to thank my
family whos support got me to where I am today, also I would like to
thank all of the little people, starting with my old science
teacher. And he said I would never amount to anything, well HA! Also
I feel I should...ah okay, said enough.”
And the Oscar goes to
:D
3 – Garrett: “Congrats
Zosite! You are an inspiration to us all, even if you are slightly
mentally unstable! o_0 :))”
Slightly?!?!?!?!
4 – Shivor: “Don't
worry, I bring much alcohol with me!”
My kind of pilot :D
5 – Domi: “Aye, and
alcohol never touches my lips. Though I am very thankful to the
person who invented funnels. :P”
Osk:
“Funnels?
WHIRLPOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!! Someone get me a lighter and a bottle of
tequila :P”
Also my kind of pilots
:D
