ISD Challenge Weekly Report #23 –
19th of March 2007
Introduction
Hello, everyone,
Despite bureaucratic paperwork seems to be getting a little bit
better this week, at least in the COM’s office, things in the ship
are looking very dynamic, which is good.
With all the Ewoks aboard going completely nuts, our own LCM Zosite
has taken charge of the alcohol production, and it appears that he
found a way to increase alcohol dosage in the mix, since we all
appear to be even crazier than before...if that’s at all possible...
For the bad news we had MAJ Prost Varsis leaving command of Inferno
Squadron. Inferno is now on the lookout for a new, enthusiastic,
Commander...apply to me and Darklord if you’re interested :)
COL Angel has taken command of Thunder Squadron. We wish him all the
luck in his new job...his first report looked great :)
Typhoon’s new pilot Toran Yarr has been promoted to Lieutenant this
week for flying his first custom designed battles from the
compendium!!! Congratulations!!!
I’d also like to congratulate the newest Challenge pilots, Godo,
Toran, Sergeyli and Dempsey, for the impressive flying activity they
are showing!!! And also congrats to the old guys who are still
kicking butt, Angel, Osk (who MP’ed), and Zosite (not so old but
kicking for some time ;) Keep it up!!!
Many congratulations to CM APanasyuk, who will be getting married in
a few months, we all wish him the best marriage one could ask
for....party time!!!!
Darklord will say more in his report, but the new Wing X Flying
competition has started yesterday. Basically, you fly as much as you
can, and we’ll add up all your scores (LL for TIE). The winner will
be the pilot with the best sum of scores. Any missions can be flown
to this, but just one time each mission ;)
Yey to CM Hap’kette getting home in one piece after a stormy trip,
and yey again to his TIE Fighter working...that’s always a good
thing.... :D
It appears that the elite will engage themselves in a war. Five
pilots from Praetorian Squadron, including Mosh and DV, will take
Omega Squadron, including Diaboli...should be fun to sit and watch
them tangle :)

Darklord will be awarding an IS-SW to the pilot who achieves the

an IS-BW for the runner-up. For TIE battles I will be counting the
Laserless score. Choose your battles wisely, pick the ones where you

up a shiny new medal! Good luck and happy hunting! You have 2

inbox.
* Beir’s Birthday
run-on With the lack of alcohol aboard the ISD
Challenge Lieutenant Colonel Beir has run out of his famous Collie
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.

March 10th and end date is April 1st. IS-BR to overall best posts

* 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:
COL Angel, for taking command
of Thunder and for flying many missions!!!
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:
P, because he likes
it...
Quote of the Week
1 - Godo: “Marriage is
indeed a time to celebrate. Though curiously in my case the
situation was a bit different. If you imagine for a moment my wife
to be armed with a club? Then imagine said women hitting me with
said club, then if you will imagine me being dragged away by said
women. Yup, I never stood a chance.”
ROFL!!! Poor Godo :D
2 – Osk:
“Nobody helps you? Try ringing this
number, they can helpyou...1800 IAMALOONEY :P”
Oh boy....public
interest message :D

Activity is still going steady in the ship, which is great.
Congratulations to everyone who has been active this past week, and
an invitation to those who weren’t to go back to being active,
because we’re having so much fun....
Still, I have to push towards recruiting. I think that a good
squadron should have at least 8 ACTIVE members, so you do the math....yes,
we still do need to recruit, especially the squadrons with 6 pilots
or less. So, let’s do it!!
