ISD Challenge Weekly Report #16

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #16 – 29th of January 2007

 

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!!!

* Make the LO a New Banner Graphic
Make the LO a new banner for the LO website. The only limits is that it conforms with the pic that is currently in use, ie. similar dimensions and similar colours to the current websites colour scheme. Entries can be sent to the LO at lo@emperorshammer.org. Comp closes at the end of January. IS-GW to the one the LO chooses.

* 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.

* 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

3 – 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, !!! Whuo doesnn't h-have a couple o... of jsrars afthher a hh-hard day... ?
