Tempest Squadron Weekly Report
 
(3.17.2002)
From the office of the Commander formerly known as Peon and a man who doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word 'short', here's the Tempest Squadron Weekly Report!
 
 Tempest Squadron Orders
More comps!
  • Fly FreeTIE-149 by tomorrow (March 18th) for our Omicron Comp. Once you're done with this check with the Tempest competition schedule for the other missions that you should be flying.
  • Partake in the "Ultimate Challenge" proposed by our friends over on the Colossus. Sounds like a tough one so we'll see how we do! Click here for details or click here for the battle.
  • Take an IWATS course (or two or three) unless you're like me, in which case you've finished all IWATS courses. >:D
  • Recruit some more pilots for the squad. 6 is ok, but it's not great and besides, you get medals and stuff for recruiting from outside the EH.

Fleet News

  • The only real thing here is the XvT Week of War (WoW). This is an amazingly huge competition between everyone on the net and YOU could walk away wearing the XvT crown of universal domination... but you have to beat a bunch of people on The Zone first. Check out The Zone and Khad's post on the TIE Corps website for details.
  • As always, check out all the news and details on the TIE Corps Domain.

    • Wing News

  • Cyclone Squadron is going to reopen real quick-like. It's all but official with a roster and stuff all planned out. A big congrats goes out to COM Locke and CMDR Airyu for pulling it together and welcome back to Cyclone!
  • Check out more ISD Challenge-related news on the ISD Challenge Website!

    • Squadron News

  • A big welcome goes out to SL Prost Varsis who joins us from the PLT Daedalus. Lets try to keep the use of jelly-filled doughnuts to a minimum this time, and no lime Jello... it took forever to get that stuff cleaned up when Kane joined us.
  • On the lighter side of things, we have a war to fight in the Wing X war. I'm still trying to figure out how Beef and the rest of the Thunderians made it all the way over to us, but we'll figure that out later. In the mean time we all have a battle to fly. Fortunately we don't have to worry about the XWA simulation part of it since Beef has graciously volunteered to take care of it. More on that and ship assignments for the new ships in the war game will come tomorrow or Tuesday.

     And now, your moment of Zen...

    Well, I was going to come up with an extra special swimsuit edition of the Moment of Zen, but lacking for time, I'll just rip off a site and quote the hell out of a very amusing script out there on the web and save the more time consuming stuff for when I have more time to consume.

    Here are a few of my favorite super-hero pairs as seen on "They Fight Crime!"

    • He's an impetuous shark-wrestling stage actor from the Mississippi delta. She's a psychotic gypsy magician's assistant from the wrong side of the tracks. They fight crime!
    • He's a gun-slinging coffee-fuelled astronaut on the hunt for the last specimen of a great and near-mythical creature. She's a supernatural cat-loving mermaid with an evil twin sister. They fight crime!
    • He's a hate-fuelled umbrella-wielding barbarian with a winning smile and a way with the ladies. She's a wealthy belly-dancing Valkyrie with a flame-thrower. They fight crime!
    • He's an immortal skateboarding grifter with a passion for fast cars. She's a provocative belly-dancing advertising executive on her way to prison for a murder she didn't commit. They fight crime!
    • He's a deeply religious umbrella-wielding cop looking for 'the Big One.' She's a high-kicking bisexual pearl diver from a secret island of warrior women. They fight crime!
    • He's an immortal Republican paramedic on the run. She's a plucky blonde snake charmer in the wrong place at the wrong time. They fight crime!
    See what crazy combos you can come up with at http://www.rain-street.org/fightcrime.htm but be warned- it's rather addictive. ;-D
