ISD Challenge Report #20

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #20

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #20 – 26th of February 2007

 

Introduction

Greetings, and welcome to my 20th report as Commodore of this fine ship!!

Well, vacation is over, either to real life and EH life, and thus I’m already dead today because of never ending Calculus, Physics, Osk and Zosite. Thanks also to COL Azurin, who has hidden all the booze in the ship to go for her new comp....no, wait....I was not supposed to say that... :D

This has been an exciting week for the Challenge. The arrival of COL Rei Ayanami, and also the arrival and promotion of LT Sergeyli and LT Dempsey, have made our numbers grow....which is good. The downside was the departure of CPT Tvan’Oris to M/FRG Phoenix....which is bad... Still, the newly arrivals are performing nicely and truly deserved their promotions.

In another god news, it appears that LT Dempsey is a long time TIE Mission Creator, which is very exciting, since no TIE Battles were released last year....with him and also the new battle from COL Domi, the TIE-TC compendium will hopefully rise, and our TIE pilots will have more missions to fly....lets wait and see ;)

As I said in the last report, CM Rondo has stepped down as Typhoon Commander, and for his performance has received a Bronze Star of the Empire. Congrats on a job well done, Rondo!!

And the new Typhoon Squadron Commander has already been appointed, and its no other than former Inferno pilot CM Saul Rostek. I wish the best of luck to Saul on his new job, and I am sure he will make us proud.

With the new arrivals and the transfer of Saul to Typhoon, there is no squadron aboard the Challenge with less than six pilots....and I’m happy :D But don’t think you can relax with the recruiting efforts....six pilots in a squadron is still a very small number to work with, and we have to grow!!! Make it happen!!!

As I have said before, COL Azurin Luna is hosting a new competition for the whole Wing X. There is a battle to be flown and a run-on to take part in. Check Chal’s competition’s page at http://isdchallenge.tcbg.net/CCompetitions.htm for further detail. Just a note, I’ve just submitted my pilot file for HA Frodo for TIE-TC 222...with a fine score ;)

VA Talek Pter Dei has resigned his position of Internet Officer, and moved to one of the assistant’s position....good luck to him in RL...

HA Frodo March has opened the position of TIE Corps Battle Groups for applications, but this is not to be taken lightly. The requirements for the position are extremely high, and the FO will not choose anyone for the job...if he has to, he will leave the position without anybody until a suitable Officer applies...check the TC news page for further details...

For those of you who had problems in the past installing patches, a solution might have been found. Fleet Admiral Den Darkhill has released a Super XPInstaller, which is to replace the old XPInstaller which was cause of trouble for some people. Check here: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4565&highlight

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...

http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4564
Also fly this mission:
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/battles/battle.asp?record=1168
Good luck to everybody and let the hunt begin!
Further information here: http://isdchallenge.tcbg.net/CCompetitions.htm

* 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 first mission is TIE-FREE
#192 - When Cargo Ferries Attack
This mission's BSF is due no later than the 11th of Feb 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!
Razz
Start Date: 10th February 2007
End Date: 24th February 2007
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

* 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 Rei Ayanami LT Sergeyli and LT Dempsey, 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:

 

CPT Tvan’Oris, for leaving the best ship ever...

 

Quote of the Week

1 - Osk: “/me points at Zosite resplendent in dark cloak and hood

Evil! Evil!!!!!!!!!!!”

2 – Kadon: “I like my blood in my body and not vaporized by a lightsaber”

3 – Osk: “Our parties must be getting so loud and boisterous that the whole fleet knows and they want in heheh”

There are a lot of comps going on, so go fly for them, and also participate in the run-ons that are running....it’s been a lot of fun....oh, and, yes, recruit!! Have a nice week, boys and girls!!!
