ISD Challenge Report #28

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #28

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #28 – 23rd of April 2007

 

Introduction

Greetings,

This has been an exciting week. Much flying was done for all the competitions running, and I am proud of the Challenge’s performance so far in the Challenge vs. Redemption comp. However, more people could fly for Frodo’s Squadron Tournament...

In Challenge vs. Redemption, 12 Challenge pilots are already participating, against 5 of Redemption pilots. In SP, Zosite has taken lead with 155 points, with Woody coming in second with 99, and Sergeyli with 58. In MP, Zosite is also leading with 18 points, followed by LC Stryker from the Redemption with 6 points, and a tie for third place, of our new SL Xgmx and Red’s LCM Gistenjunge with 3 points each.

Overall, Challenge has 392 SP points and 21 MP points, with an average of 34,417 points per pilot, while the Redemption has 62 SP points and 9 MP points, with an average of 14,2 points per pilot. The first week is ours!!! Keep up the flying this week, and let’s spread this margin!!!

To mention all names of Challenge pilots participating in the competition, so far we had myself, CPT Great Griffin, MAJ Elwood the Brave, LT Toran Yarr, CM Wolf Blacker, CM Saul Rostek, MAJ Murleen, LT Sergeyli, LCM Zosite Konstyte Styles, LT Godo Nurok, SL Xgmx and COL Angel. I’d like to see this number grow, so, if you haven’t yet, fly something this week and participate. I’d like to remind you that 30 points will ensure you a medal in this competition, so go grab yours!!!

I’ve mentioned him twice already in the report, but have not introduced him yet in this report, so, I’d like you to welcome SL Xgmx to Cyclone Squadron, coming fresh from PLT Daedalus. For the looks of it, we probably have a new very promising pilot. Welcome Xgmx :)

Sadly, we had two pilots leaving Thunder for the Reserves this week. It was CM Max and LT Onilink. I hope you’ll both find your way back here in no time, to share the fun and the honor of being a part of this ship and this fleet.

Gladly, a new TIE battle has been released by the Tactical Office after more than a year of waiting. It’s TIE-TC 227 by VA Moagim Daar...go fly it :)

Meanwhile, Frodo’s Squadron Tournament, which will determine the TCCOM’s Own Squadron, has Cyclone Squadron in the lead, followed by Praetorian, and a tie between Green and Omega Squadrons in third. Everyone participate in this, flying at least one of the free missions selected. This week’s missions are TIE-Free 267, XvT-Free 211 and XWA-Free 137. GO!!!! Nothing’s decided yet!!!

LT Dempsey has created the new IWATS TIE Fighter mission creation course, which will have the designation of TM3. Check it out at: http://tm.imperialacademy.org/

A few more medals were awarded this week. Congratulations to COL Darklord on his Palpatine Crescent, and to LCM Zosite Konstyte Styles in his Bronze Star of the Empire, and also in his amazing Imperial Security Medal, all for last month’s activities :)

Competitions

* ISD Challenge vs. MC-80B Redemption
Start date: 04/16/2007
End date: 05/06/2007
Battles: any/all from the
Mission Compendium
Medals: IS-GWs for first place SP, first place MP and first place overall (SP+MP). IS-SWs for second places. IS-BWs for third places. Additional IS-SW for every participating pilot of the winning ship that gathers more than 30 points, and additional IS-BW for every participating pilot of the losing ship that gathers more than 30 points. Winning ship will be determined by the average: Sum of all points of all participating pilots in the ship/number of participating pilots in that ship.
Details: 1 point for every mission flown (3 points if it's a highscore). 3 points for every LoC awarded. 10 points for every DFC awarded.

* TIE Corps Squadron Tournament
Thats right, the Flight Office has a new competition running! THE TIE CORPS SQUADRON TOURNAMENT! It will be a simple matter of flying one of the three missions (one for each platform per week). The Squadron with the best participation over the course of the 4 weeks (4 rounds) will win IS-GWs for all participating members! If there is a TIE, the highest score between the tied Squadrons will win.
This week's missions are:
XvT-Free 211
TIE-Free 267
XWA-Free 137
Remember not to send the files to Frodo, simply BSF them and he will do the rest from there!

* The Number of the TIE Flying Beast
655 Graduates have passed through the TIE Tactics course to date, the 666th to complete it successfully will receive an IS-GR - only way to have a chance is sto take the exam - and hopefully be the 11th to do so!

* Praemega Propaganda Parade
Praetorian and Omega feel the need to oil each other up and flext their collective muscles - the rest of the fleet feels the need to mock them. In the vein of the Banner Prank comp VA Jarek would like you all to come up with the best gfx mocking either (or both) elite squadrons. For hints see
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=4601 entries to me at dgm@ehdb.net, attaching submissions as a jpeg or similar format. End date is 04/20/2007. IS-GR for 1st place, IS-SR for 2nd place, IS-BRs for excellent entries.

* 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!
Razz
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
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 5
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 Xgmx, for arriving!!!

 

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:

 

Onilink and Max, for leaving the best ship ever!!!

 

Quote of the Week

1 – Oskar: “Oh yep, I did an extra bit of activity last week forgot to mention
hehe Watched 'A New Hope' again on Saturday :D”

Can there be any better activity??? :D

2 – Oskar: “Welcome to the ship Xgmx! As I am sure you realise this is the drunkest ship in the fleet and the coolest and for the welcoming party youll be paying for all the drinks ; ) Don't worry though we make our own brew so its pretty cheap hehe”

Woody: “Welcome aboard....And...the brew might be cheap...but the sum of all the stuff we drink makes it realy expensive to be forced to pay for the next party :D I guess you just singed to loose all your credits for the next half a year...or something close to that :D”

Flint: “Welcome aboard...most of these guys giggle about beer and I laugh at them, and Zosite flies 350 missions a week, and it's a real delicate system that works out great.  Poetry in motion etc.  You'll fit in just fine, great to have ya.”

And they’re not joking :D

3 – Provided by LCM Zosite:
“<Astatine> zzzz
<Astatine> Zosite isn't actually 1 person
<Astatine> he's a collective of Brazillian street kids
<Astatine> offer the choice between being killed by the death squads or a life of service playing Star Wars games
<Astatine> and thus we have...Zosite!
<ZositeKS|XvT> How did you notice, Sir?! O_0 Oh, damnit... I(we) have EH ID on my(our) back! xD”

Check out the note from Zosite: “Just a quick one on GA Astatine's part, straight from #TieCorps, talking about my "flying problem"... Arrghhh... at least now I know why is LC Dirty Vader always with me in the Week of War! That dirty-dirty Praetorian dude is the Intelligence Division pigeon, and they're on my tail... they're investigating me... plotting against me... they're always there... I must be careful!! ~¬¬”

UAHUAHAUAHAUAHA!!!!

Conclusion

Nice job so far!!! But I want to see more pilots participating. You see, I love giving out medals....medal award ceremonies are fun, and the party and drinking afterwards is even more fun....so, in order for you to be eligible for at least one medal in this comp, you have to get 30 points. THIRTY!!!! That’s like five or six battles. Download a few, turn cheats on if you want and fly them....it won’t take you too long!!! And don’t forget to help your squadron by flying the free missions for the Squadron Tournament competition. I have flown all of them for the first week (despite still waiting for the BSFs)....and hey, it’s not like my squadron is going to win anything.....but I go for the highscores and try to get those IS-SWs Frodo is handing out :)

Get to your fighters, and may the force be with you :)
