Squadron News
-Once again Kappa is at the Top of it ALL!! The Sov Surprise contest has ended, and the winner is: LT ZYRAX!!! The whole squadron is in debt with him for taking our name with him all the way to victory! He earned a sweet IS-GW for such a feat. Congrats go to Sin's John Doe for a swell 2nd place, getting Wing II as the ruler of this comp. I'm really proud of Zyr's effort to get a highscore, flying the mission several times. GO ZYR!!! GO KAPPA!!!
-And Wing II is at the top of it all TOO!! We are Tie Corps Commander's Own for September!!! WOOOOO!!!! We must be really proud of being here, and we must work to get this place even better and full!! GO WING II!!!
-The Kappa's Oktoberfest is up and running!!! With a minor change on the FCHG division, you now may fly at least a free mission per week to participate. You have till Sunday to join the race, and there are people already working on it!!! See the Orders section for more and SUBMIT!!! many many medals mean that if you participate you will likely get one!! I'll also be releasing on Sunday a report with the submissions already and the points on the race. (start flying to try and reach Hermann :p)
-New unis!! Go check out the Duty uni (full dress soon to come) at http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~howlader/ops/archive.htm Been tinkering with mine and it doesn't look that bad...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squadron Orders
-Kappa vs Stalker is ON!!!!! Fly TC-TIE 34 (attached) and get some highscores!! Top 6 scores from each squad will be averaged and the top average wins. An IS-BW is at stake for the top scorer. Deadline is October 31st. The more inputs we have, the better chances we have. I expect 100% participation even if the score doesn't make it to the top 6. GOOOOO KAPPA!!!!!!!
-The Wing II Pilot League season 2 is ON!!!! The deadline for the current round is 6PM GMT on Sunday 7th October and the mission is TIE-FREE 167. Send it to Algy and CC me for the BSF.
-The Oktoberfest is ON!!! Time to get drunk as hell and mistake the Cat with your grandma and take it for a walk on the neigborhood wearing long femenine leather boots and nothing else and...all those stuff you do before entering ethilic coma. Divisions and awards:
Flying division - standard flying comp, top laserless scorer on TIE-TC #182 (attached) earns an IS-BW
FCHG race division - top FCHG earner of the period earns an IS-BW. MUST submit at least a battle a week to participate.
Fiction division - short story about Kappa's wild Oktoberfest party. Best submission judged by me earns an IS-BR
Mission creation division - best free mission with a plotline involving Kappa and Oktoberfest earns an IS-BR.
Graphics division - Best submission of a graphic in any medium (from Paint to 3D renders to pencil scans to photo compositions) relating Kappa and Oktoberfest (beer :p) earns an IS-BR
For the fiction and graphics division, I'm not looking at high standards of quality, more to the side of originality and fun. Anything you can come up with and amuses me will do. For the fiction division I will demand at least 3 paragraphs.
For the FCHG race remember that you MUST submit a FREE MISSION a week MINIMUM to participate. Also, the battles MUST be never flown before, so it really adds to your FCHG ranking. I'll check your profiles before submitting. High scores and MP victories will also be counted on the total.
The comp will go through all the month so you have plenty of time. All submissions must be in before October 31st.
