Recent Awards
03:04 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Yesterday I was pleased to approve the promotions of Colonel Gen Es'mith and Colonel Jahan Kalar to the rank of General. Both Wing Commanders have been working extremely hard over the past several months, and these promotions are well deserved.

Also congratulations go out to Major Shae Kitane and Colonel Beef, both of whom have been awarded the Gold Star of the Empire for their services to the TIE Corps.

Lastly, some of you may have noticed that the TIE Corps membership now stands at 2000+, the highest it's ever been!

XvT Competitions
09:59 - VA Khadgar [khadgar1@shaw.ca]
I have signed the EH up for a Competition starting this Friday. It will last one week, and is specifically oriented towards XvT players and TIE Interceptors. The competition will be held on The Zone against participating clubs. LoCs will be awarded, so please come out! For further details, please see http://www.battlestats.com/games/xvt/war/info/?war1332.

I would also like to note that the EH is signed up for XvT WoW, which will start on July 19 and go until July 26. I have been impressed with pilot participation in WoW events, and I'm sure this one will get a great response as well!

End Of Imperial Storm III
00:33 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
After doing a total recounting of all teams possessions, including points on hand, values of all items possesed (including probes) and counting each planet to be worth it's daily RP value, I find the following new values:

ATF has 16090 after recounting

Sov has 65338 after the recount

ASF has 40924 after a recount

Total is 122352

ATF has 13.1 %

Sov has 53.4 %

ASF has 33.4 %

Goal of the game was supposed to be 75 %. No team reached that. All teams finished with lower totals than they started. The Sov has the highest total points, but the ASF has the smallest loss of points from their start. This does not lead to a clear winner, as the rules did not anticipate someone not winning in the allotted time. I therefore will consider the ASF and the Sov team to both have marginal victories.

Due to the nature of this competition, I am not able to award medals to the winning team anyway. I would however like to commend all of you, and your teams for their excellent work. Of particular note I want to thank CM Ender mBind, for his work in this game, creating the Web Site, and helping with TIE mission creation. I wish to thank the Sov team, for their excellent meeting of deadlines, it made my job a lot easier. I want to thank the TFAs of all teams, for questioning me and the rules when necessary, and for giving me ideas for the future. But most importantly I want to thank the pilots who showed up, and everyone who participated and had a good time. Admirals, I ask that you take into account your pilots' activities in ImpStorm when reviewing their records for promotion or medals.

Thank you all for a good Game, I now take a weekend leave ( I will be away) and then I will begin work on a few new games, on a much smaller scale, to take place as soon as possible. There will be a basic game (very similar to ImpStorm) and a more advanced game (for those who have wargaming experience). Notice will be posted to apply for these games.
