12th of March 2007
Introduction
Greetings,
This has been a very busy week for the Challenge, mostly for the
good, and I won’t even get into the bad... But good rocks, and so I
first would like to thank you all again for the congratulations on
my promotion to Vice Admiral, I couldn’t be happier :)
And also congrats to newly promoted Lieutenant Godo Nurok!!! Great
work in flying, Godo, keep it up!!!
I’d like to congrats everyone who got an award for this month’s
evaluation. There were two Bronze Stars for Darklord and Zosite, PCs
to Hap’kette, Domi, Dempsey and Kadon, and ISMs for APanasyuk and
Sergeyli....keep up the amazing work, people!! For everyone else, I
hope this month you are active enough to deserve one of these...I’m
always cheering for you!!!
The shuttle arriving from PLT Daedalus got us a new pilot!!! This
time, we’ve welcomed SL Toran Yarr to Typhoon Squadron!!!
And the transport from M/FRG Phoenix has also brought us someone
new, and we’ve welcomed yesterday CPT Bjorn Wolfblade, who joined
Cyclone Squadron’s flight one!!!
I’m very glad with all the message board activity we are having
these days, go participate in the run-ons or just chat with us :)
This brings me to another matter, where I’d also like to
congratulate every officer who got a Medal of Communications for the
previous months this year....very well done!!! See, even talking
nonsense can get you a medal :D
And I’m also very glad with the great flying activity we’re having
aboard the ship. If you have not been flying, do like CM APanasyuk,
CM Shivor Dahr, LT Godo Nurok, LCM Oskar Holtz, LCM Zosite Konstyte
Styles, LC Kadon Beir and VA Daniel Bonini, and get to your cockpits...
Great work to those mentioned :)
Aaaaaaaaand, keep up the IWATS activities....congrats to our
students LT Dempsey, LT Sergeyli and CM Garrett Hap’kette!!! Very
well done!!
Congrats also to Master, our Tactical Officer, who has just been
promoted to Fleet Admiral, and to the Executive Officer Cyric, who

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!
* 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.
* 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 Toran Yarr
and CPT
Bjorn Wolfblade, 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:
MAJ Prost Varsis, for
not showing up....actually, it’s because he sometimes complains when
I name him EotW....and for him to complain he’ll have to show ;)
Quote of the Week
1 - Domi: “Darklord's

great activity, and let’s show to the TCBG, to the TC, to the EH,
and to the whole SW fan community, what the Challenge is all about...
