Challenge vs. Redemption competition has come to an end. We are
still compiling results, but it should be out shortly. Regardless of
the result, I am very proud of Challenge’s participation. You did
great!!! Seventeen pilots flying for this comp, and for others,
which also counted for this one, and some pilots flying like hell!!!
Anyway, 17 is a good number, but in a ship of 40...it could be even
better. Congratulations to both Challenge and Redemption crews for
making this a very fun comp to host :)
As soon as I get the reply from VA Pellaeon, we’ll be publishing the
results and awarding the medals for those who achieved them. They
will be in your inboxes by the end of this week, hopefully.
We are a little late on the MSE/MWE deal, due to some cataclysmic
events taken place on the cantina, but I hope this will also be
sorted by the end of this week...I apologize to the higher ups for
this delay.
As you probably read on Darklord’s report, we are going to lose tcbg.net
server in a matter of weeks. We are already looking for hosting
space alternatives for the Challenge, and we’ll keep you posted on
what will happen now...
Gladly, the whole deal of LC Kadon Beir stepping down as Cyclone
Commander is in the past. He has reassumed command of the squadron,
and is ready to continue his tour ahead of this great squadron.
We’ve gained a new pilot this week. CPT Bodo Dent, former Red
Squadron Commander aboard the fish tank, has arrived on Cyclone
Squadron’s Flight 3.
Sadly, we’ve lost two pilots this week. CPT Alexi Stukov and CM
Shivor Dahr are both set to go to the M/FRG Phoenix on the next
shuttle departing from the hangar bay.
This brings our numbers even lower, and I’m sad to see that
recruitment efforts seem to be fading in the last months. It’s not
looking good, people...several squadrons need immediate
reinforcement. Let’s try to improve our recruiting activities
again!!
TIE Corps Squadron Tournament is still going on. Round 3 has ended
today, and we are expecting results in the near future. Be prepared
for round 4.
The Executive Officer, Sector Admiral Cyric, went on leave for this
week, and should be back next Saturday. Meanwhile, everything meant
to go to him should go directly to the Fleet Commander, Grand
Admiral Astatine.
There are several IWATS Professor spots open for applications. The
courses you can teach are the following: Advanced Multiplayer,
Flash, Graphics, Linux, PHP, Rebellion Tactics, Trillian, SWGB
Mission Creation, Multiplayer. Apply today to the Fleet Commander
and Executive Officer!!
The Science Officer, Fleet Admiral Den Darkhill, has developed a new
game, called Project Steel, or 2942 - A Space Opera. It’s a top down
shooting game, like 1942. It’s still a demo, but it’s already
downloadable from the SCO website. Here
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/reports/report.asp?reportid=20077&commandstaffid=10
will take you to the latest SCO report, which has the link to the
download.

* 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 203
TIE-Free 253
XWA-Free 127
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!
* Build That Mission The first
pilot to pass the new TM/3 course with 100% will earn an IS-BR!!
* The Corellian
Connection Every
quarter of the year, the TM prof will provide the briefing for a
mission. The briefing will include a basic storyline, but won't be
too specific. People can build a mission using that briefing
question ad submt em to the TM prof. Missions will be judged based
on technical aspects, originaity, and overall feeling. Each quarter,
the winner can win an IS-BW (each time). People who win 3 times get
an IS-SW (only 1 per PIN), people who win 5 times get an IS-GW (one
per PIN). Starts on June 1st and ends on June 30th.
* 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! 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.
* 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:
The 17 pilots
that flew
for the competitions!!! Ok, ok, I’ll name them: Angel, Zosite,
Woody, Gward, Murleen, Dempsey, Sergeyli, Dan, Xgmx, Oskar, Great
Griffin, Toran, Wolf, Saul, Godo, Bjorn and APanasyuk
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:
The ones that didn’t,
except those with good reason for not flying...you are ok ;)
Quote of the Week
1 – Beir:
“Drinks are on me for being a wanker! Get 'em while they're
hot... or cold....”
Morph: “::grabs a few
bottles of rum and sneaks away::”
Saul: “*scratches his
head* Why is the rum gone?!”
Osk: “Can I have a
latte?
/me wonders why
everyone is looking at him strange
With
whiskey of course! I thought I wouldnt
have to add that in... :P”
You scared me for a
while :D
2 – Dempsey: “As
always, drinks are on Zosite for being pilot of the week!”
Zosite:
“Interesting... I didn't think you were so well provided of booze to
put your confidance on him to pay anything... xD”
Dempsey probably hides
booze under the mattress :D
3 - Dempsey: “I'm
sorry to see you go, Commander, let's hope we can find someone who
can do the job as good as you can soon!
Welcome back to
Cyclone, commander! Guess you are now living proof that once you go
Cyclone, you never go back!”
Dan: “LOL. ‘Bye Beir,
hi Beir’”
Osk: “Heheh, drink
Beir”
All Osk can think
of... :D
4 – Zosite’s promotion
to CM story...I won’t post it here for being large, but it’s good :D
if anyone wants it, let me know because I’m keeping a copy, for when
Medical Officers come asking for the insane one....irrefutable proof
