Introduction |
Hello, pilots,
The competition to decide the Flagship of the TIE Corps continues.
This week, we had two results for bonus competitions sent out. The
first one was the Single Player, with victory to LC Tempest of the
SSSD Sovereign. Then, this weekend we saw the Multiplayer
competition, which was won by COL Brucmack, of the Redemption. These
results left the competition with the following standings. The
Redemption has lead with 5973 points, followed by Praetorian’s DGN
Lichtor V with 5134 points. And there is us, in third place, with
4419 points.
As you can see, Redemption’s victory in the multiplayer comp has
left us more than 1500 points in disadvantage. It will be hard, but
I’ll try to reduce this amount with Freeworlds activity. Here are
ten days left for the competition, and we need every bit of activity.
We CAN still win this. Get to work!! I can see that few pilots are
being active...that’s not good; I want to see more pilots taking
part in defending this ship.
COL Flint Darkstar, who had a brief passage through the Challenge
early this year, is back to Typhoon Squadron. He comes back after a
five month Tour of Duty as CA of the Operations Officer. Welcome
back, Flint!
COL Golbez Harvey has stepped down as Wing Commander of Wing XIX
after a seven month Tour of Duty. Applications for the job are not
being accepted at this time.
The Training Officer is looking for a Command Attaché. If you’re
interested, check the requirements for the position in the TC news
page, or in the message boards.
If you’re interested in being an academic, there are several
Professor position open in IWATS. The following courses are in need
of profs: AIM, FLA, GFX, LIN, M, TLN, TM and XMD

* Season’s
Reflections
The

submissions from the fields of poetry, story writing, graphics, and
audio categories that say the most of what the upcoming holidays
mean to you. Only one entry per category may be made. Star Wars
twists are encouraged. Original creations will garner better scores.
Each entry will be worth up to 100 points. The Grand winner will be
the one with the most points overall. Writing: The submission must
have at least 1 full page single spaced lines that fit the theme.
Poetry: The submission may be of any type of poetry (except
limerick). Grammar and diction are key in this category. Graphics:
Copyrighted materials will disqualify the entrant from the category.
Audio: This can be either self-made songs, a recording of your own
writings you recite, or anything of this nature. This category must
be accompanied by a written explanation as to why it says "This is
what the season is to me". The explanation is not needed for
recitations of personal created works. Copyright enforcement is in
effect with this competition as the winners will have their works
submitted to the newsletter for publication. Audio submissions may
be submitted as links to a site to be determined. Proof
of
authorship
may
be
required
in some cases.
Medal Awards are: Iron Star: Gold ribbons (1 for each category and

* Master’s TIE Golf
Comp
This is
Master’s TIE Golf comp....you have to subscribe until October 25th
to participate. Check it out here:
http://tac.emperorshammer.net/TIEGolf/
*
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. 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!
* 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.
* Wing X Pilot of
the Week/Month 2
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 Wing, amused the
Wing Commander, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper
bag. This week's winner is:
CPT Tvan’Oris,
for getting
Cyclone Flight II Leader position!!!
|
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:
You’re a whole tribe
of ewoks, if you don’t participate in Raise the Flag!!

Quote of the Week |
Stuart: “Welcome SL!

up to CS.... but yeah, if they get too overwhelming you can totally
ask me for advice on how best to annoy them... (pssst.
NECROPOSTING!!)”
Kadon: “WHAT MANNER OF
BEAST IS THIS THAT APPROACHETH???!!!! Stuart..

remember that beast's name.... Something that had almost killed me
once, but I shall slay it again... (readies his blasters)... I think
its a Zombie!”
Oskar: “/me gets out
the holy water and the book of the holies
Back, lest I smite theee!”
Morpheus: “::walks
into the room, and stops for a minute::

past oblivious and pours himself a shot of vodka::”

Conclusion
|
That’s it for this week. The last bonus competition for Raise the
Flag, which grants 2000 points for the winning ship, will be about
Freeworlds. Also, Freeworlds is worth too many points in this
competition to be overlooked. Therefore, if you have Freeworlds
capabilities, go into the EH server, complete as many missions as
you can, and prepare for the Bonus competition. We can make it!!!
