ISD Challenge Weekly Report #4 –
6th of November 2006 |

Introduction |
And here we go,
As you can see, I’m back from my leave. And I feel like I came back
in the middle of a hurricane with all MSEs/MWE stuff to work with
and so on. This is why this report is being sent out so late. For
that, I apologize.
First great news is that the Challenge has made it!!! You are
incredible!!! In the last minute, we managed to get the highest
participation ratio in the TCBG Escort Squadron/Flagship competition,
with 42% participation, and managed to retain the title of Flagship
of the TIE Corps Battlegroups for another year. Congratulations are
also in order for Omicron and Inferno Squadrons, who fought bravely
for the Escort Squadron title. Sadly, Red squadron of the Redemption
got a few more points and managed to beat them, but they managed to
get second and third places, and some shinies are on the way!! But
what I really want to do is congratulate every single one of you who
has participated in this competition. You made me proud, and made
the Challenge emerge victorious once again. I salute you!!!
There were a few very well earned promotions today. First, was
Thorper from Typhoon Squadron, who has achieved the rank of
Lieutenant by completing his Imperial Navy Pilot Record. Second,
CMDR Murleen of Omicron Squadron has been promoted to Major, for
performing above and beyond his duties of Squadron Commander and
making Omicron Squadron one of the top Squadrons in this fleet. Last,
our veteran Azurin Luna, who has been Commander of Thunder Squadron
forever, and has entered the select club of the Colonels.
Congratulations to the three of you. You are an example to be
followed!!!
Raise the Flag 2006 has started, and we are already falling behind....I
hope I don’t have to wait for the last minute to see some activity
again. Let’s rock their world in this competition, pilots. More info
in the competition website:
http://fo.emperorshammer.net/sc9/events.asp. So far, the
Redemption has the lead with 615 points, followed far by the DGN
Lichtor V woth 166 points. We only have 56 points, so let’s move!!!
As Darklord has already stated, CM Kal J’qan from Typhoon has sadly
been removed from Command for lack of communication and no activity
at all. For not completing his Tour of Duty of Squadron Commander,
Kal has also been demoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and is now a
Flight Member in Typhoon. I’d really like to know what happened to
him, because he was such a promising officer. Applications for
Typhoon Commander are being accepted at this time.
With the excuse of Darklord, I’ll be the first to say that the new
Inferno Squadron Commander is MAJ Prost Varsis!!! Congrats, P, for
once again being Squadron Commander, and good luck to Inferno
Master’s TIE Golf competition has started. I’ve already flown for
the first round. Let’s see how it goes... I’ll also keep an eye out
for the other Challenge pilots’ participation...
If you have Freeworlds capabilities, I suggest you spend some time
in the server this month, because it counts a lot of points for the
Raise the Flag competition...

Copyrighted materials will disqualify the entrant from the category.

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

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:
Azurin and Murleen,
for being
great EH officers!!!
|
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:
Kal J’qan, for being
removed from the command of Typhoon.

Quote of the Week |
Talons: “Make a good
showing, give the Sovereign hell!”
You heard the man!!!
