New SCOA Sought
20:00 - VA Den Darkhill [darkhill@scienceoffice.net
We are now looking for a new SCOA again. The main duties will include searching the various SW related sites looking for slicing related news and testing of various patches and programs. Having working knowledge of slicing the X-wing series is a big plus and the DF series is even a bigger plus but neither is needed. Send applications to myself (darkhill@scienceoffice.org
Reopening of the EH Polling Center
20:00 - AD Ramos [Magedon42@aol.com
The Logistics Office has relaunched the Emperor's Hammer Polling Center. The new URL is http://iw.ehonline.org/LO/polls/polls.asp ! The way this new Center will work is to create different accounts for each EH Member to track their votes and also to determine different statistics from different, wings, ships, and subgroups. The EH Member will eventually be able to place his history, his Imperial Census response, and his poll answers, along with trivia submissions, poll ideas, and different file logs into one large database through the administration feature. This is the hallmark site in EH Record Keeping and Archival purposes. Special thanks goes to Vice Admiral Crusader for creation of the polling center. It has been a long time coming but the EH Polling Center is back along with the rest of the Logistic's offices statistical suites. Go to the site and get your self an account today! Be part of the EH's History, a part that will be remembered.
Change in mIRC/2 marking

From now on, if you copy-paste the example code for aliases and popups into questions 9 and 10, you will be marked incorrect for it. You MUST come up with your own alias and popup based upon your own ID line.

New battles' abbreviations...
03:59 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org
I guess some will yell at me for changing the things they were used to, but battles, now sorted by platforms rather than subgroups, have new abbreviations, subgroups and platforms are swapped. For example Xwing Alliance TIE Corps Battles change from TC-XWA to XWA-TC. ID, BHG and CAB battles gain a "TIE-" addition to their abbreviation.
These measures are aimed to develop subgroup battles; the Tactical Office is not only the Tactical Office for the TIE Coprs, but for the entire Emperor's Hammer even if some subgroups have some active Subgroup's TAC-like office (well, only IW and maybe DB..).
These measures may seem useless and only bringing more confusion, but it makes more sense to classify battles per platform than subgroup, as a pilot would not choose the battles or missions he will play because it's a TC or a DB battle, but first because it is a TIE or an XWA battle. Remember that all pilots can play any battle, TC, IW, DB etc even if they are not members of these subgroups.
A thread on the Mission Creation Message Board
Training Office Assisant open
23:57 - HA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au
With the recent resignation of VA Mell, the position of Training Officer Assistant is now open. I've decided to merge the job requirements of TOA with those of TOA2. I've also slightly lowered the requirements in the hope of getting some decent applications. Full details are here
Q. Why not open CA:TO?
A. Because every time I do, I get a billion applications from the trash of the EH only interested in a quick rank promotion. I want people who will work because they want to.
Q. Why is it an assistant position? And can I keep my TC position?
A. Yes, you can keep your TC position. In fact, this is one of the reasons for it being an assistant position, so the TOA is someone active in the TC, who is closer to the members and what they think and want.
Q. I've heard about some apprenticeship system, where a TOA can eventually be offered CA:TO. Is this true?
A. Yes. The idea is that the person earns the rank and position that comes with being a CA through honest work, rather than knowing the right person.
Q. Can I camp online and harass you with more stupid questions on IRC/AIM/ICQ/email?
A. No. And if you do so, consider your application deleted.
Battle listing: new sorting
02:09 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org
Some changes in the battle center: battles and missions are now sorted by game platforms, rather than subroups. A little reminder, pilots are able to fly any battle, not only those from his subgroup; for example, a TIE Corps pilot can fly an Infiltrator Wing battle.
