Well, the competition is still open as suddenly Colonel Master decided to wake up and score first place on Avril Lavigne. So, as we only have three more, things still have not yet been decided. So without much talking from my side, here\'s #12:

Well, last week was the hardest. Or so I thought. I got 3 correct answers, which honestly was 3 more than I expected :) The answer was Liv Boeree, English model and professional poker player. On a side note, things at the front end of the line are heating up as Mickk Emrys solidifies his lead over the rest of the field. But with 4 mugshots left, there\'s still opportunities to catch up to him. The race isn\'t over yet :)
Time for number #11:

Security Office Report #63 is out, Sleeping in air traffic control while TIE\'s need to land.

Well, things are getting interesting, with three people scoring 12,13 and 14 points. They\'re pretty much in the running for the top 3 spots I think, but 5 others can still meet the target for the participation medal you get for more than 10 correct answers. So keep trying! At the moment, everyone\'s trailing Mickk Emrys at 14 points. Last shot was an easy one again, everyone recognized Lady Gaga. That was to offset this one, which I think is going to be the hardest of them all. If you look well there\'s a few hints in the picture, but you might have to put some effort into this one. I\'ll give you a hint: she\'s English.

On to number 9. The last one was a bit easier, I got a few correct answers, but also some incorrect ones. I guess people here aren\'t fans of stuff like Serenity, Terminator or The Cape. Yes, indeed, this was Summer Glau. We have a close rase for 1st and 2nd, and while true that some people can\'t take first place anymore, there\'s always the individual participation medals for getting enough answers correct. So there\'s still shinies left to work for! For the moment, Mickk Emrys has taken the lead with Zeth missing the last 2 answers. let\'s see who wins this time!

Well, we\'re past the halfway point, and man that last one was hard. Only TWO people made an attempt, and one got it right. Mickk Emrys took a nice leap into second place, trailing Zeth Durron by only 1 point now. Yes, it was indeed Kim Wilde. And I thought I had another one tagged as the hard one, be interesting to see if anyone can catch that one. But first, here\'s #8.
As from now on, I\'ll just post the link to the image here. So click and be merry :)

Well, after this week we finally see someone taking a lead. And it\'s not even that big. Zeth Durron is first with 12 points so far, but there\'s 3 ppl close by with less than 5 points behind. So the race isn\'t over yet. And even if it already is for you because you can\'t catch up anymore, there\'s still the individual participation medals you can strive for, so keep those answers incoming!
Last time, the answer was Nicole Kidman. A bit harder than before, but hey - you all said it was too easy!

Celebrity number 6:

Security Office Report #62 is out, Eating Potassium Iodine Tablets like potato chips.

From:  http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/planets/quesh

\"Toxic TreasureEnvironmental poisons have made Quesh one of the most dangerous and valuable planets in the galaxy, and the grounds for a savage battle between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Though the chemicals on Quesh are lethal to most life forms, they can also be used to create some of the most potent adrenals in the galaxy… and untold wealth for whoever controls the ingredients.

Initially discovered by the Republic during the Great War, Quesh was abandoned after scientists detected the poisonous content of its atmosphere. It wasn’t until years later that a young chemist rummaging through old data recognized the potential for the chemical compounds on Quesh—they are incredibly close to venenit shadaaga (Hutt Venom), a primary ingredient in high-grade adrenals for healing, reflexes, and concentration.

If the Republic could find a way to process the delicate chemicals, it would provide a major source of new income at a critical time in the war effort. Ultimately though, Republic engineers were unable to master the techniques to synthesize the adrenals. They were forced to seek help from some unlikely allies– the Hutts. Three families from the Hutt Cartel were quietly convinced to step around their neutrality treaty with the Empire in return for a cut of adrenal profits that not even a Hutt could refuse. The Cartel, so long as they received their share, looked the other way.

Within a decade, the Republic was fully invested in Quesh. Despite efforts to keep Quesh a guarded secret, miner and worker gossip slowly crept out. It wasn’t long before the Empire heard about this vast source of chemical wealth - and the treaty-breaking Hutts. The Cartel was forced to declare the Republic-aligned Hutts traitors, and assist the Empire as it launched a full-scale attack on Quesh, seeking to destroy Republic efforts and claim the resource for its own.

Now, the Republic struggles to defend its investment from the Empire and their unhappy Hutt Cartel allies.\"

 

FYI, from: http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/taral-v-developer-walkthrough

 

\"Visitors to this year’s PAX East in Boston, MA are lucky enough to get to play through Taral V, a mid-level Republic Flashpoint. In the gameplay demo, a strike team assaults an Imperial compound on Taral V in an effort to recover an ancient navigational computer the Republic desperately needs. Their success depends on teamwork and skill – will they prevail?

 

Don’t worry if you can’t join us this year at the show – we’ve put together an in-game walkthrough of Taral V that takes you through the demo with developer commentary. Enjoy this in-depth look at the gameplay of Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!\"

Well, #5 was an easy one again with no incorrect guesses. Of course, how could Natalie Portman not be in this list.... Let\'s see if you know this one as well...

Well, here we go again folks. I guess people like quick comps like this at a fast pace, cause the answers are coming in hot. The answer to #4 was not a big problem for the participants as all guessed it was indeed Sigourney Weaver. Zeth Durron has taken a leap forward and is leaving the competition far behind him with a 1 point lead over a joint 2nd place by 3 others. Let\'s see what this day brings:

As some of you know but others of you don\'t the Emperor\'s Hammer has a guild building in TOR.

Right now we stand at 17 members and growing.

So if you plan on playing, even if you\'re waiting on launch to see how good or not it is please feel free to join. It costs you nothing and you can always leave.

For now we\'re just gathering people. When Phase 2 releases (whenever) we will be able to ally with other clubs we would like to see on our server.

So go join... which you can do at:

Well, seems I did good with #3. I actually got incorrect answers (Amanda Bynes, Jessica Alba), and that was a first. The correct answer was Kaley Cuoco. Score-wise, we have a 3-way tie for 5 points between Kaisin Mirtez, Mick Emrys and Havok, but nothing\'s lost yet with 11 more to go and a maximum of 33 points up for grabs.

So here\'s #4:

Security Office Report #61 is out, Barbecuing water balloons for science.

Well folks, here we go for the 3rd. So far things are going as planned with every entry being correct. But have no fear, they will get harder. Last time we saw poor Madonna cut into pieces. Now - the only question that remains is, who is this:

Well, the competition went off with a bang, as all 10 players got the first one correct. Yes, of course it was Pamela Anderson. As I said, an easy one to get things started. If all 10 players complete the competition, we could have an exciting match up. For now GN Kaisin Mirtez has taken the lead.

And here is the second photo. The lines are open!

You don’t have to wait until launch to create or join a guild in Star Warsâ„¢: The Old Republic.  LucasArts has a three-phased Pre-Launch Guild Program where you have the opportunity to find a group now that suits your play style, or if you prefer to start your own guild, you can reserve your preferred guild name and begin recruiting members to join your cause.

 

If you’re looking for a guild to join, the Emperor’s Hammer’s guild is located here: http://www.swtor.com/guilds/5829/emperors-hammer

 

Here’s the additional details from LucasArts:

When the game launches, you will have the opportunity to transfer your guild directly into the game. All guilds that meet certain criteria will be imported into the game. To learn what a guild is and why you should join, visit the Guilds Game Systems page.

Every guild gets its own guild mini-site on www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com, complete with information about the guild, its recruitment status, and its own public and private forums. Create or join a guild now and you’ll have the opportunity to have your own space to socialize and organize before the game launches. Every guild is automatically entered into the searchable guild database, which makes it easy for players to find their ideal guild. Get your guild together early and get ready for The Old Republic!

Well, here goes the first run of Dempsey\'s Celebrity Mugshots. I\'ve taken an image, cut it up into pieces and rearranged them. Figure out who it is, mail me the answer, and start earning points.
