ISD Challenge Weekly Report #25 –
02nd of April 2007
Introduction
Hello, pilots,
The Wing Flying Competition ended yesterday, with good participation
rate. Congrats are in order to LT Dempsey and LT Toran Yarr, for
achieving first and second places!! But mostly congrats to all who
took part!!
One other competition that ended this week was Beir’s Birthday
run-on. Again, congratulations to everyone who posted on the run-on,
which was a lot of fun, and still is, because there’s no reason why
it should stop... The competition winners were COL Domi, CM Garrett
Hap’kette, CM John T. Clark, LT Dempsey and LT Zosite Konstyte
Styles. Congratulations to you all :)
In the meantime, talks have begun about the upcoming competition
against the Calamari Cruiser Redemption, and we’ll be sorting out
the details as soon as possible. If you missed it last week, take a
look at this thread:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4607. Get ready for
battle...
LT Dempsey was chosen as the Wing X Pilot of the Month of March,
after achieving two out of the four Pilot of the Week titles. Many
congratulations to LT Dempsey!! And I’d also like to say that it was
a very tough fight this month for this title, and some other pilots
really deserve it too... Keep it up!!!
Praemega competition ended with the score of 8x1 towards Praetorian
Squadron, which were declared winners of the competition.
Congratulations to the Praetorian Squadron, and also to Omega for
putting up a fight with them ;)
Inferno CMDR position is still open for applications. This can be
your opportunity to command one of the greatest squadrons in the
history of the TIE Corps...apply now!!
There are also many Flight Leader positions open in the Ship.
Currently, open positions are: Thunder Flight 2; Typhoon Flight 3;
Inferno Flight 2 (waiting for CMDR to be appointed first); and
Omicron Flight 3. I’d like these positions filled as soon as
possible with good active officers, willing to lead a few other
pilots into greatness :)
The EH ended in second place in the XvT Week of War. Many congrats
to all officers who participated in this great achievement!!

Parade
Praetorian and Omega feel the need to oil each other up and flext
their collective muscles - the rest of the fleet feels the need to
mock them. In the vein of the Banner Prank comp VA Jarek would like
you all to come up with the best gfx mocking either (or both) elite
squadrons. For hints see
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4601entries to me at

End date is 04/20/2007. IS-GR for 1st place, IS-SR for 2nd place,

* 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:
COL Darklord,
for being a
great WC, and still finding time to fly many battles!!!
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:
People who doesn’t
apply for Inferno CMDR...

accidentally a huge crystal alambic which crashes with the noise of
the Apocalypse upon two Ewoks. The Ewoks start crying loudly and
another older Ewok nearby starts crying too given the fact that the
first two were his children. LT Anahorn Dempsey gets also afraid
from such mess and screws up his last created mission making 3 ISDs
to collide and LT Godo Nurok, completely nuts, starts dancing all
around playing some war songs with a bagpipe. LC Kadon Beir tries to
put some order using from the commanding old style... yelling
orders.*

And there goes March!!! I am impressed with this month’s activity
you all showed, and I am pretty sure that many good medals will be
awarded for the Monthly Evaluations. Hopefully we can make it happen
by the end of the week.
For April, I want more!!! More flying, more recruiting, more talking,
more stories, more run-ons, and especially more pilots being active!!
So, if you haven’t been as active as you could, here is your chance
to pick up again. There are many competitions in squadron levels,
and there will be many more in all levels. And for those who have
been as active as they can....my sincere congratulations!! Either
way, I want you all to have the most fun you can....that’s what the
Challenge is all about!!
