TARTARUS SQUADRON
WING XIII of ISD GREY WOLF
WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT
NR.3
by CMDR/CM DarkC




Squadron.....ATTENTION!!!!....lol...did i scare you? Don't worry, there's nothing to be scared of, i only wanted to let you know that here comes my
third weekly report:))) That is , of course , if anyone of you is still in the headquarters and not somewhere on a sunny beach....lol. Because i for
sure would love to be bathing in some blue,cooling sea...it's teribly hot in here...hehe
Anyway, let's cut the jokking and get to more serious business.
Unfortunately i have the feeling that this hot summer time is having a negative effect upon everyone and what i was afraid of, finally happened: our
squadron activity decreased this last week proportionaly with the heat. That's why this report won't be as impresive as i would have wanted it to
be and it will probably be even shorter than usual.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not blaming anyone, i know everyone of us was very busy this last week, still i'm afraid that in this rithm it will be very
difficult to reach that number of citations we have in mind...

RECRUITMENT


As you know, our squadron is now at only 7 pilots, that's why i have to make recruitment our first priority again. Try and find some good pilots
eager to be members of a great squadron:)))


NEWS

Unfortunatelly , the lack of activity this last week , kinda left me without any news this week...at least important news,couse nothing actualy
happened:( Anyway...i have to write something so...let me think....
1. LT Arcadius Calidus, LCM Leslaw and of course our dear CPT Tomaas are still on leave,so we'll have to work a bit harder to get those
citations, there are only 4 of us left here:) And i mean it ...try a bit harder next week!
2. We got to the second round of the PSI Competition and were assigned to fly Free Tie #53 which all of the present pilots did,and of course
Tom did it too,even if he's on leave:) We still wait for the results, but in my oppinion we managed it preddy good and i think we have chances to
get to the final round:)) All we have to do is wait and see...


FICTION

This is the third week without any fiction...are you guys expecting only me to write it?...lol...i'll try to,but you must help me too:)
As you could notice,we had alot of fiction lately, and a very good one i might add...so i would like you to continue writting, every time you get
tired of flying...lol. Unfortunately i had some very busy weeks lately and i couldn't writte anything, but i promise you i'll do that durring my
vacation:)

MEDALS

No medals this week,but there will be some coming soon , keep in mind that i'll have to write the MSE sometime next week...lol


PROMOTIONS

No promotions this week.

MP FLYING

We MUST increase our multiplayer activity! You probably saw LC Mike's statistics , and even though we're doing great in single player activity,
our MP record is still far of what it should be.

COMPETITIONS

Uniform competition

Simple and sweet,i need an uniform guys:)). If it'll be nice and confortable,the author will get an ISM. If not....well,there is always another try,isn't
it?In general,he'd like it to be fully official and to bear apropriate markings,no crapy-looks.

Graphics and fiction competition

Similar one. We really need some material for the webpage so we could outshine our mates from other squadrons. ISM for most creative
people. The same applies to the fiction writters. If it's good enough,ISM is yours. Our home page is improving everyday, but we can make it
better....come on guys,use your imagination!!:))

PSI Tournament [ACCEPTED]

All ten squadrons are divided into three pools, each with four squadrons in a pool. A short (preferably 4-mission battle) will be assigned for the first round of competition.
Each pool will fly the same battle,and after a 10-day period, the winners will be announced. The top squadron in each pool will automatically advance to the next round, as
well as the overall top two scoring squadrons who did not finish first in their pool, leaving five total squadrons the survivors. In the next round, a Free-TIE will be played, with
each squadron being given a week to fly it. The three squadrons with the highest score in that round will advance to the championship round, where a longer (probably six
mission-long) battle will be issued, with ten days to fly it. The top-scoring squadron from the final round is then proclaimed the winner, with appropriate bragging rights
issued. Additionally, the aggregate top-scoring pilot from each of the final three squadrons will receive an Iron Star - Silver Wings.
Scoring will be measured by a highest total laserless scoring method. Though averages are a popular method in multiple squadron comps, Ford feels that a simple highest
total method encourages participation, so that members of each squadron who aren't quite as good as their comrades don't worry about pulling the squadron's average
down, and are free to participate and chip in as their skills allow.
You'll also note that each squadron invited is of fairly small size - 6 to 8 pilots per squadron, usually. The reasons for this are two-fold: first, so that not doing the
competition by averages wouldn't have a very great effect upon some of the smaller squadrons, and secondly, to give some of the smaller units a chance to shine. In most
fleet-wide competitions, it's the 10 + member squadrons who get the glory, while smaller units are left in the dust. Not in this competition, however.
Additionally, as to allay any fears that Ford running the competition will give Psi Squadron an advantage, CA:FO Havoc will assist with the mission selection and
judging.

Our mission in round I was TC-TIE#121. Some of you have flown it, some haven't.
Here are the scores we got:
CM DarkC : 62584
LT Brian: 76309
CPT Tomaas: 103841
COL Woobee: 203150
LT Jatz Crakker : 277958

We got to round II and we had to fly Free TIE #53.
These are the scores :



RECORD OF THE WEEK

As noone made any comment about the records and the bands i tried to bring to your attention, i'm not sure you agree with the kind of music i like...lol...but as you all
know tastes are not subjects of comment...hehe
So , either you like it or not, i'll suggest you another band i like...Bon Jovi, and one of their best albums....New Jersey:)

Tartarus 1-2 : CPT Tomaas Banys: Even though he's on vacation, he kept a close look on the squadron's activity...and even sent me F-TIE 53 as
