Introduction
|
|
As
all of you should know by now (that is, if you read your emails :P)
that this month, the Challenge is once again celebrating it's
anniversary; this time, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the ISD
Challenge. To commemorate such an awesome event, a number of
competitions are being held. They have been both emailed to you, and
will be below in the Comps section. So if you are looking for something
to do, there are a great many comps available this month!!!
We also lost a number of pilots this week, due to a variety of reasons.
Remember, there's a recruitment comp going on, so if you want some
fairly easy medals, go out and help recruit for either your squad, or
if your squad is already fairly large, feel free to recruit for another
Chal squad that could use the pilots!

* CMDR Shrike of Cyclone is on leave for a month. Thusly, COL Mike is
A:CMDR until his return.
* A number of departures this week. LCM Marlin and LCM Phelan
transferred to the RSV's; SL Arani Klojos, LT Dark Scorpius, and LT Red
Phoenix were AWOL'd; and LT Glenn, LT Oni, and LT Lola were MIA'd from
Tornado. Finally, CPT Xander Drax was promoted to CollieCOM, and thus
is...there, not here.

IWATS.
Congrats!
* If
you've been doing activity like SWG or Freeworlds, make sure you let
your CMDR's know! It counts as activity!

Competitions
|
|
1.
Challenge Recruitment Competition. To last from February 1st through
March 31st. A two-month long recruitment comp. The pilot who can
recruit the largest number of new pilots into the Challenge (including
new SL's or old retired vets) will win an IS-SR; IS-BR to the runner-up.
2.
Fiction Comp. It will last all month, until February 28th. To celebrate
the 10th anniversary of the ISD Challenge, a fiction competition. A
topic will be announced by the WC on February 1st; best fiction will
win an IS-SR, and an IS-BR to the runner-up. Will be judged by Master
and myself. The topic is as follows: "This month is AD Master's fifth
anniversary in the TIE Corps. His anniversary falls on February 14th.
Since he is a Challenge boy, and therefore quite deranged, he is
throwing a huge party on the Challenge (cause he certainly couldn't
throw it on the Sovereign. You know how those Sov types get)."
3.
Graphics Comp. It will last all month, until February 28th. To
celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ISD Challenge, a graphics
competition. A topic will be announced by the WC on February 1st; best
graphic will win an IS-SR, and an IS-BR to the runner-up. Will be
judged by me. The topic is as follows: I'm thinking about putting a new
banner up for the Wing X banner. Current one is at
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/images/banners/wing10.jpg . I like the old
one, but I'd be interested to see what else can be put there instead.
So make a replacement banner for me, if I like it more than the old
one, it'll go up.
4. Beat
the COM. It will last one week, ending on February 7th. To celebrate
the 10th anniversary of the ISD Challenge, a flying competition. The
ChalCOM will fly TIE-TC
#200. The pilot with the best score over the week will get an
IS-SW. Also, any other pilot who can beat the COM's score will earn
themselves an IS-BW. Send your pilot files to your CMDR per usual. The
laserless score to beat is 228,498.
5.
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
6. A
Station Too Far. This is a COMM-sponsored comp that finally begun. It
is to include
graphics, flying, fiction, and a run-on. To check out what is up about
it so far,
check out http://www.comm.nunbeer.com/comp.html
7. TIE
Corps Song Competition. The premise of the competition is to modify the
lyrics of an existing song to make it related to a TIE Corps/Command
Staff member. You have until March 5th to send your submissions into FA
Khadgar ( khadgar1@shaw.ca ), CC'ing your CMDR. Winner will get an
IS-GR, an IS-SR for 2nd place, and an IS-BR for third place.
8.
Ackbar Competition. The premise of the competition is to doctor any
image so that it becomes a joke about Admiral Ackbar (see one of Khad's
FO
Reports for some examples). You have until March 5th to send your
submissions into FA Khadgar ( khadgar1@shaw.ca ), CC'ing your CMDR.
Winner will get an IS-GR, an IS-SR for 2nd place, and an IS-BR for
third place.
9.
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 ) and FA Gilad (
gpj2331@sbcglobal.net ). 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.
10. TIE
Corps Battlegroup Training Night. The TCBG sponsored MP night.
