Wing X Report #6
COL Domi 7/29/2008
Greetings members of Wing X and fellow TC Flags welcome to the weekly Wing X report. Please note this will be my last report for a couple of weeks as I am going on leave from July 30 August 14..
Wing News
Well, you have no doubt read all about the TIE Corps restructuring and how we lost two squadrons, Inferno and Tornado. Hopefully we will draw some new pilots and those squadrons will be reopened. But citizens dont flock to the Imperial Recruitment Center as they once did so it is mandatory that all pilots chat up the TC with their friends, relatives, workmates whatever and whoever. If each of us could recruit just one person we would easily be able to open those two squads, and fill out our current squads too. So, it really isnt that daunting a task, just one person.
To those who have been transferred to new units, CPT Crsepe, LT Vaygen and CM Rue Sokky who join Thunder and COL Master who joins Typhoon, I wish you all the best and thank-you for your cooperation in making this as painless as possible.
But now the flip side of all this. The Wing should be full of people just waiting and eager for activity. So Id really like to see lots of it and guess what there just happens to be a lot going on at the moment. The Flight Officer has just launched a brand new fiction writing competition dealing with the recent restructuring. You can check out the details to this and all other competitions currently running in the Competitions Section of this report.
It was nice to see that there was an IWATS-course graduate this week. Nicely done, LT Tyrian. Im a big supporter of the Imperial Academy. There are many fun and interesting courses with some very valuable information. Also, its a cool way to build your ID-line and can be useful in fiction writing.
I would like to encourage people to use the mIRC client or the IRC web interface found at the EH-main site and get on IRC. In addition to having fun chatting with your friends and shipmates, you can also attend the weekly EH meetings on Saturday at noon EST in #emperors_hammer and the TC meeting at 4 pm EST on Sundays in #Tiecorps.
We have our very won IRC channel, #wing_x, which has been in use for many years and is frequented by many current and former members of our illustrious Wing. In addition we are in the process of registering a new channel called #isd_challenge which will become the official EH-coc channel. As I will be away for the next two weeks and will not be able to log in to Undernet, the Training Officer and former Wing Xer AD Jon Marcus will be leading the way this time. Im sure he will keep you up to date.
Oh, and remember CMDRs your Monthly Squadron Evaluations should be sent directly to COM Angel as I will not be here to comment on them. I will be sending my evaluation tonight. I suggest you get yours in ASAP as well.

EH-Wide
Dempsey's Movie Mania
Starts: 8/4/2008
Ends: 9/8/2008
Details: For 5 weeks, you will get 10 movie taglines. The question is: for which movies? Submit your answers to tac.at.emperorshammer.org.

At the end of the year, everyone's monthly score will be added together to determine the yearly winner overall and per platform. We will fly in a TIE-XvT-XWA cycle that repeats 4 times. Missions will be announced on the TAC site.

Training Office Recruiting Challenge
Start: 2/23/2008
End: 2/1/2009
Details: It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the Emperor's Hammer is suffering due to too many members leaving or being removed, and not enough fresh blood joining to take their places. That is why I am offering a very generous reward to those that are passionate enough to bring others into our club. This is an offer that likely will only be offered once, so I encourage everyone to participate. The event is as follows:
The first officer to successfully recruit five NEW, active members to the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps will receive the Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon. These new recruits must enter the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps and successfully be assigned to a squadron after completing Platform Daedalus training. There are very specific rules to be followed if you wish to receive your reward.
1. The recruited pilot MUST list you as the recruiting officer when he joins. If he forgets, he must personally email me explaining that he forgot to list you for proper credit.
2. Once the recruited pilot has completed training and is assigned to a squadron, YOU must email me to let me know of this, giving me the pilot's PIN so that I may verify. I will not be monitoring new assignments myself, so it is up to you to let me know so that I may give you proper credit.
3. Do not even try to create clones. The database is designed to catch attempted cloners, and I will personally be watching any new pilots claiming to have been recruited. If I find that anyone has created a clone to give themselves credit for this competition, I will recommend the most severe punishment possible. In addition to the IS-PR, I will reward every officer with an IS-BR if they have successfully recruited any pilot during the course of the competition but was not the first to reach five. The IS-BRs will be awarded after the IS-PR is awarded, or until the competition comes to a close with no victor. This competition will last for one year starting today or until an officer recruits five pilots to the TIE Corps, whichever comes first.
Medals: IS-PR, IS-SR
