ISD Challenge Report #26

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #26

ISD Challenge Weekly Report #26 – 09th of April 2007

 

Introduction

Greetings,

Most important news in the ship this week is definitely that Inferno Squadron has a new Commander, as COL Flint Darkstar has taken command. We wish him luck in his new job, and that he achieves great things with Inferno!

The shuttle departing to Modified Frigate Phoenix has deprived us of a great pilot this week. Former Commander of Typhoon Squadron, CM Rondo, has already left us. Also, this same shuttle, on its next trip, will also take another great pilot away from us, and it will be CM Garrett Hap’kette leaving. We wish both of them happiness in their retirement, and hope that this retirement does not last forever, as we all know that unbearable feeling of “must go back to killing rebels” finally gets to them again ;)

The good news is that on its next trip, the same shuttle will be possibly bringing back an old friend, to rejoin Typhoon Squadron. Stay tuned ;)

Negotiations regarding the competition against the Calamari Cruiser Redemption are still going on, but almost getting to a conclusion. You will have more news about this in the coming week....again, stay tuned, stay sharp, and prepare to fly like hell!

The Monthly Wing Evaluation has already been forwarded and processed, and we are expecting medals to be awarded soon....looks like it’s going to be a nice week this one ;)

COL Darklord has returned from his leave. Unfortunately, he is confined to his quarters for the time being, due to massive drunkness and a possible alcoholic coma. He should be back on his feet in no time, and meanwhile we can prepare a nice drink for him, to celebrate his return, and to get him out of the coma with style :D

I’m also glad to state that one of the Challenge’s open Flight Leader positions has been filled. That is Thunder’s Flight 2, and the new Flight Leader is Lieutenant Sergeyli, who has been doing an incredible job since joining the fleet, and deserves his first command position. He has also been nominated the Thunder Commander’s XO. Congrats, Sergeyli!!

But there are still several FL positions open for applications, and there will be one more in Tornado, after Garrett’s transfer go through. Currently, open positions are: Typhoon Flight 3; Inferno Flight 2; Tornado Flight 3; and Omicron Flight 3. I’ve said before that theses positions are of great importance, and they are to be filled with good active officers. Contact the Squadron Commanders if you are interested in one of these positions!

Since it slipped me last week, I’ll post it this week the news that the Emperor’s Hammer has achieved victory on the XWA Week of War. Congratulations to all pilots who participated in such event, especially to our LCM Zosite Konstyte Styles, and our former member, now Praetorian LC Dirty Vader, for taking overall first place. Zosite came in second.

Speaking of such pilot, who is on leave at the moment, by the way, you might have noticed this week that our esteemed Lord of Moonlightshadow has achieved.....AGAIN.....first place in both Multiplayer and Singleplayer divisions of Ace of the TIE Corps, for the month of March, and was awarded a few more medals to his already large collection. Unfortunately, his medals have been stolen by his evil Commander, and stolen again by evil Osk, who after a lot of messing around is trying to sell them back to Zosite by a not so much fair price...all of this very, very legal stuff....despite the stealing....and the blackmailing....oh well...I miss the Empire :D

Competitions

* 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!!!!!

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:

COL Flint Darkstar, for taking command of Inferno!!!

 

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:

 

CMs Rondo and Garrett Hap’kett, for leaving the best ship ever!!!

 

Quote of the Week

1 – Saul: “Sorry to see you go, Hap. Good luck out there, and always remember - make your peace, say your prayers, but most of all remember to duck.”

hehehehehe

2 – Dempsey: “I have a copy of the game to evaluate before buying, but never actually played it, so never evaluated it and bought it.”

Oh, the logic :D

3 – Sergeyli: “Thanks to you. I'll try to  be good flight leader :)”

Oskar: “Good? You want to be bad! The meanest, leather clad, harley riding pimpin FL there is! :D”

4 – Oskar: “Well done guys! Do I get an award for coming last? :D”

Darklord: “/me hands Osk a toilet brush... you know what to do :P”

Oskar: “/me puts on his fatigues and dons his blue cap

Oh well, back to being the 'Deck Cleaner' again :P

Osk, Lord of the Mop”

:D
