EH Northwest meeting
After discussions with many people and the approval of certain Command Staff, I have decided to open a forum on the EH Northwest meeting. There are many people that live in or around the area of the Pacific Northwest in the United States and after discussing with many people I have come to the conclusion that a meeting in the Seattle area would be very feasible. To set up a discussion and see all who is interested in the EH I need such interested people to mail me (xdemosthenesx@hotmail.com) with a Subject: EH Northwest so I can add you to a mail string and update news as this Meeting formation progresses. A good number of us are in college so I would also like to set the meeting in a time that wouldn't interfere with Work and School schedules. I would love to hear your ideas and are looking forward to meeting many of you in person.

Bug correction and mission creators
If you happen to encounter a Battle or Free Mission that has bugs, do not attempt to correct it on your own (see the Cheating Policy). Only members of the Tactical Office staff are authorized to fix bugs in official missions.
However, authors of an official Battle or Free Mission may submit to the Tactical Officer an updated version of their work at any time, IF it fits the following conditions:

the latest corrections brought by the Tactical Staff must be taken into account (i.e. correct your work from the current official version)
the maximum reachable score cannot be lower than in the original mission, to prevent unreachable High Scores to occur. Maximum score can be higher though (i.e. don't remove or make invulnerable crafts which could be destroyed in the previous version, add additional bonus goals if necessary
EH vs NRN Melee Competition!
The Emperor's Hammer is taking on the New Republic Navy! The competition is running through Battlestats using WoW rules. From Sept 14 to Sept 21, all internal compeitions are hereby suspended, so that our multiplayer pilots may concentrate on the comp against the navy. For more information, see the competition webpages, XVT: http://www.battlestats.com/games/xvt/war/info/?war928 and XWA: http://www.battlestats.com/games/xwa/war/info/?war932 or if you need help using battlestats.com, please see CPT Werdna Elbee's WoW help page at http://vogue.ehonline.org/wow/. Check the Combat Calendar for dates and times for hot battles. Good luck, EH pilots! If you need any help, feel free to email me at wetwilly@ehnet.org.

Sharing Passwords
It is time to address, a simple matter and a major problem within the TIE Corps. The TIE Corps database is a magnificent feat (many other coders may scoff, but that is due to a typical programer disease called "I'm_the_bestest" virus. Other symptoms include saying 1337 too much and not being able to code your way out of a paper sack.) but back to the point at hand, it is a great blessing for the TIE Corps and enables a smooth and easy way to award medals, battles, transfers, promotions ect ect. Thusly, people who are entrusted with command postions, are also entrusted with special rights on the database.

Please do not break this trust, and hand out your password to people. From this point on, if anyone is caught handing out your password to someone, it's an automatic two week suspension from duty. If any damage is done, then we'll take care of that issue on a case to case basis; but as a general rule, don't give your password out. If you need something done, contact your superior and have him do it for you. That's what they are there for. Thank You.

STANDING ORDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, they have finally been made official. So anyone basically not following them are subject to being removed.

1. I expect all FMs to contact their Flight Leaders at least once a week, either by email, ICQ or IRC etc.

2. I expect everyone to participate in all competitions, except when there is a clash with important RL events, i.e. exams, illness etc
3. I want everyone to fly at least one battle or two free missions a week, alternatively you can create graphics, write fiction or create missions as long as the effort is the same as flying a battle or mission. Competition TFRs count as double, so you only need to fly one free mission if it's for a comp.

4. Flight Leaders - You will report to me at the end of each week detailing which of members of their flight have or haven't reported in and what they've done during the past week. Also, you will pass on to me any TFRs, fiction, graphics etc. you receive from your pilots.

5. Flight leaders - You are expected to be an example to your flight members and should typify what they are trying to become. I expect regular contact from you and input into how the squadron should be run and any changes that could be made for the better.

It doesn't take long to fly 2 free missions, you can even do it on easy if you must, you only need to fly on hard when it's a comp and scores are important.
