Wing X Report #19
LC Daniel Bonini 7/10/2006
Wing X Weekly Report #19 – 10th of July 2006
Introduction
Greetings,
LC Dirty Vader has decided to step down as Commander of Inferno Squadron. This is a terrible loss both to Inferno and to Challenge’s Command Staff, for DV is one of the best Squadron Commanders I’ve met in the Tie Corps. I’m waiting for Granite to come back from his leave for us to decide how to choose a replacement, and we’ll let you know as soon as we know ourselves. Thank you for all your hard work, DV!!!
There were some promotions this week that I would like to mention again. CMDR Murleen of Omicron Squadron was promoted to Captain. Great Griffin was also promoted to Captain. Wolf Blacker got his promotion to Lieutenant Commander. Gward and Crix Talra were both promoted to Commander. Congratulations to all of you!!! You really deserved this.
These promotions were just some of the recommendations made in the MWE. More recommendations have been made, and they should be processed along this next week.
Besides these promotions, SL Onilink was also promoted to Lieutenant, for flying a TC-TIE battle and completing his INPR. Congratulations!!
CPT Diaboli is fighting this month to win the Ace of the Month competition of Astatine’s. Right now he’s in second place, and we are all cheering for him to beat CM EXE from the Sovereign, who is currently in first place. Diaboli has already flown a lot of missions this month, as you can see in the “Sorties Flown” section below.

Amazing flying activity from CPT Diaboli and it’s good to see other pilots being active, although this is much less from what I’d like to see of activity in the wing. But it’s understandable, due to the competition we just faced. Let’s try to heat things up in the next week, and cheer for Diaboli to be the Ace of the Month.

Competitions
* Challenge Vs. Sovereign Competition
Results can be found at http://zethy.auroraholo.net/svc/SovvsChal2.xls
Run-on can be found at: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=3440
* 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. Thus a battle will earn you more points than a free mission. The June 2006 division of the competition will end on 30th June, so get flying. Good luck!
* Which CATO said?
Uther is the EH's first CA:TO. However, there have been others through history. Every two weeks, Uther will issue a quote: you have to work out which CATO might have said it, or had it said about them. You will have two weeks to send your answers to Uther. Phases: 1. 2-18/6/06 2. 19/6-2/7/06 3. 3-17/7/06
* CA:TO Craft Comp.
What ship should the new CA:TO have as his personal craft? He's looking for as much detail as you care to include, such as ship name, type, specs, and personalization touches, bearing in mind his previous career in the IW & FMC. Go to town on this - illustrate your entry if possible, too.
* TCBG Website!
The TCBG needs a new, functional, website. Create one for Coranel! IS-GR to the best one, IS-SR to second place, IS-BR to third place. There is no real set deadline for this, but Coranel set the deadline in the database as the end of June. Email all entries to Coranel (coranel@tcbg.net ) as soon as you can!!
* Golden Boot Prediction

* Golden Gloves Prediction

* A Collector's Eye
AD Jarek La'na would like a portrait of himself for posterity of course :P He’d like the EHs artists to have a read of http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=3365 and be inspired. He will except images in any popular format, and he’d like to encourage you to use whatever medium you can... submissions to him at comm@emperorshammer.org with the subject "You call this art?". IS-BR for every artist that submits a good quality piece, with a one off award of an MoC - a Platinum Cluster - for his favourite at the end of the competition.
* Iron Mission Creator 2006
Due to apparent public demand, its time once again to crown a champ. For those who don't know, IMC is to see what our beloved mission creators can do under pressure. They are given a topic and an hour & a half, and we see what comes out the end. Rounds will take place after the EH Meeting in #vsd_sinister (unless otherwise mentioned) and all submissions will be judged by TAC, CA:TAC and another party. The creator with the best mission will progress to the next round (and so on and so forth). Final Winner will also have the chance to go up against TAC/CA:TAC in the chance for further medals and bragging rights. Anyone wanting to take part is to email both VA Master and his CA indicating as such no later than the 28th of May. A message board post has been set up here for anything u may wish to comment on or ask.
* BGCOM Report Trivia
From April to June, after each weekly BGCOM report is sent out on the mailing lists, 5 trivia questions will be mailed out. The person who gets the most correct in the quickest amount of time will earn 3 points, second place will get 2 points, third place will get 1 point. The pilot with the most points at the end of each month will earn themselves an IS-GR, second place will get an IS-SR, third place will get an IS-BR.
* Smiert SpioCOMM
Every Saturday till June, at 1.30 EST, La'an or Brukhar will be hiding on a +s IRC channel. Whoever finds them first will receive an MoC. Impossible? All participants will be provided with a first channel - its topic will be a clue to the next channel. Only by answering the clues and finding the correct channels will they be found. Clues will be themed, with one word answers that will take the form #answer.
* 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.
* Quote of the Week competition
Got some funny IRC quotes? Send them in! Top 3 submissions per week earn an IS-BR; top 3 submissions per month earn an IS-SR; IS-PR to the yearly winner, IS-GR to second best yearly submission, and a IS-SR to the third best yearly submissions. Email the quotes to FA Joe (Noon001@aol.com). Only rules are they must have been said within the last 2 weeks (no old, archived quotes) and you can't send in quotes of things that you have said. Must be amusing things others have said. Competition will run through January 21st, 2007.
* TIE Corps Battlegroup Training Night:
The TCBG sponsored MP night. Show up in IRC channel #EHCOO on Saturdays at 6pm GMT (1pm EST) to win LoC's and DFC's
