ISD Challenge Weekly Report #31 –
14th of May 2007
Introduction
Good evening,
As you probably heard throughout the week, Challenge vs. Redemption
competition has come to an end, with a good victory by the ISD
Challenge. Again, I’d like to thank all who made an effort to
participate in this fun competition, especially those who managed to
achieve more than thirty points and earn themselves a good medal. I
like awarding medals, and the 15 medals awarded by Challenge crew in
this comp have made me very proud. Don’t ever lose this will to
achieve victory!!!
Speaking of medals, the MWE medals were processed, and I am very
glad to say that the Challenge personnel have earned another 13
merit medals, which also makes me very proud. I’d say keep it up,
but judging by this week’s flying activity, I can say you are
already doing that....great work!!! I’d like to award even more
medals for this month’s coming evaluation :)
COL Darklord is still on leave, but should be back soon. In the
meantime, send to me everything you’d normally send him.
COL Flint Darkstar has stepped down as Inferno Commander this week,
leaving the job open. I am accepting applications for the job, which
I want to fill with an enthusiastic officer, who is able to comply
with the job requirements and is willing to lead Inferno back to
greatness. Squadron Management 3 is necessary. Applications to me
and Darklord.
COL Angel is hosting a run-on competition, which is open for the
entire ship. Here it is:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4712, go
participate, and you might get an IS-BR for your post, if it’s good
enough in the opinion of the Thunder CMDR. :)
And also about competitions, Zosite’s MP comp, Friday’s Vaping
Rhapsody, has become Thursday’s Vaping Rhapsody, due to obvious
reasons. Go participate and earn some LoCs, or even a DFC!!!
We’ve gained a new pilot this week. CM Ibram Gaunt, who spent some
time in the reserves, has arrived to join the ranks of Tornado
Squadron. It’s good to have you here, Ibram!!
The TIE Corps Squadron Tournament is almost coming to an end. There
is few time left to fly, so get to it, and make sure your squadron
is well placed in this important Competition, which will determine
the TCCOM’s Own.
The EH has achieved first place in the XWA Week of War, mainly
because of LC Dirty Vader and LC Stryker. Congratulations!!
Two officers were awarded the Silver Star of the Empire this month.
One of them is our own CM Zosite, and the other was former TCBGCOM,
COL Talons Pryde. Congratulations to both!!! Also, congrats to
Zosite who, again, was awarded two IS-GWs for TC Ace of the Month
competition.
Besides Inferno Squadron, there are two other squadrons in the fleet
which are in need of new Commanders. They are the Fury Squadron and
Red Squadron. Applications to the ship’s WC and COM!

the competition. Here it is:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4712.
* TIE Corps Squadron
Tournament 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 200
TIE-Free 262
XWA-Free 126
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.
* Friday’s Vaping

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.
* 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:
CM Zosite for earning tons
of medals, COL Angel and LCM Dempsey for flying tons of
missions!!!
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 Alexi Stukov and
CM Shivor Dahr, for leaving the best ship ever!!!
