Tempest Squadron Weekly Report #7 - 24th of March 2005


***~Introdutory Note~***

Tempest’s report will be delivered a little sooner this week, because your CMDR will be traveling to another Brazilian state, to meet g/f’s family. I’ll be out Thursday, and will return early Sunday, with the possibility of being able to have internet access during that period, so, not to worry.

This has been an amazing week for Tempest: we have a new pilot: everybody, give a big welcome to our newest pilot: LT Haedaliel Belil-Gaviel, who joins Tempest from the RSV’s.....let’s make her feel at home. Another great news is that Tempest Squadron’s website has been published, go take a look at http://tempest.tcbg.net and have your say about it.

LT Impulse has been the only Tempest member who has been flying: although he’s doing an amazing job, I would like a little more BSF’ing to do from the rest of you. I have already told you all that I’ll be figuring out a flying comp soon, but this week was quite impossible to do so, with all the work I had to do with Tempest’s website and trying to correct the report’s format, for it not to look fuzzy when I send the mail. But expect the comp for next week.

Tempest Recruiting Comp is effective for more almost a month now.........and we have a new recruit...but none of you recruited her, so, no medals.....that’s why I say..........GO RECRUIT.....come on, it’s not that hard to do, and you’ll get a medal if a recruit joins us!


***~Squadron News~***

* Hats off for LT Impulse once again, for flying!!!

* We have a new message board....go check it out at http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewforum.php?f=64 and post something...no posts so far.....P, C, maybe you guys should do the honors...

* A new pilot has joined Tempest 1-3 position: welcome to LT Haedaliel Belil-Gaviel!!!

* We already have our website uploaded...go take a look at http://tempest.tcbg.net!!! I’ll be updating the website regularly, so, stay tuned.

* Tempest Recruiting Comp
Read about it in the Competition Center – got denied once, fixed, and now approved....so far no recruits....I want to give someone a medal for this! Try it people!

* Communications: everyone is to send me their MSN passport.net....so far I have P`s, C`s and I`s....that`s three.....and don`t need mine, so that`s four.....it leaves out four......Ozkan, Rover, Seph....send them over. Haedy (if I may call you this way), send me yours when available.

* SL Ozkan Ata has still not responding to any contact attempts...please, contact me

* Squadron Standing Orders: every week i want you to do one of the following:
- Do like LT Impulse and fly something from the Mission Compendium
- Take an IWATS Course
- Write some fiction
- Create a graphic
- Submit something for the Squadron Report (Fiction, graphics, garbage, etc)

(*Recruitment
If you haven't noticed Tempest is in desperate need of pilots, get out there and ask your friends, your relatives, parents, grandmothers, dogs, I don't care, lets just get some people in here.

I am offering an ISM per recruit (Cadet and RSV's alike) and a PC per 5 recruits, so there’s a chance for you to get lots of medals and to help not only the squad but also the wing.)

This is deactivated until the Tempest Recruiting Comp has ended.


***~Squadron Orders~***

* Get a MSN account and send me the info ASAP
* SL Ozkan Ata, contact me
* Fly a FREE mission......or a battle
* Take an IWATS test
* Participate on every competition that launches....I’m going to be a little annoying about this, I wanna see every pilot participating in every competition


***~Wing/BG News~***

* I’m told that last Sunday’s Wing X meeting was very nice...Just a reminder, the Wing X weekly IRC meeting happens every sunday at 9:00pm EST (GMT -5:00). Go participate.

*Uniforms: since Stuart was promoted, if you’d like, I can do your new uniform.

***~Competition Center~***

* Tempest Recruiting Comp
(http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?id=1792)
It’s a pretty simple comp: it starts march 1st, and it runs for two months.
For every two recruits that goes to the wing, you receive an IS-BR (I want copies of the e-mails when you have first contacted the recruit).
For every recruit that comes to Tempest, you receive an IS-BR The person who has recruited the most in the first month receives na IS-BR, and the Second Month too, so, there are a lot of medal opportunities.
The recruits can come either from the PLT Daedalus, or from FRG Phoenix, this means, CDT’s and RSV’s.
As you can see, this competition is a long term thing for us to fill all the positions available in the squadron, and to help where we can in the wing...
I would like everyone to participate....Just contact people in Daedalus offering help, or contact an old friend in the reserves, and try to get them in here....It’s best for everyone when we have a full house.

* Wait for further news about a flying comp that might start next week!!!!

* ISD Challenge vs. ISD Relentless/Flaggie Slap Fight – During the period of March 25th to April 8th, the Challenge and the Relentless will engage in hostilities in the way of missions and a run-on. All pilots of the ISD Relentless and the ISD Challenge will fly TIE-FREE #193 and XWA-FREE #115.
By the end of April 8th, each ship will add up and submit a total score of all TIE pilot files for their TIE score, and a total score of all XWA pilot files for their XWA score. The two highest scorers in each division will be awarded a IS-SW and a IS-BW respectively. At the same time, all pilots of the ISD Relentless and the ISD Challenge shall participate in a run-on to be done in the TCBG forum under the supervision of the BGCOM. The topic shall be that the Relentless and Challenge must work together in a seek-and-destroy mission against a Rebel task force.
During the first week pilots shall describe various rivalries going on while the two ships are hunting down this task force. Battle against the rebel task force shall not begin until, a week into the competition, a post is given (by VA BubbaX) to indicate that the rebel forces have been found a battle has commenced. The ship that accumulates the most posts in the run-on shall be declared the victor of that division. Each run-on post must have significant substance, and ultimately whether a post counts or not shall be decided by VA BubbaX.
The ship that wins at least 2 of the 3 divisions (TIE, XWA, runon) shall be declared the winner. At the same time, a side-comp involving the teams of the ChalFlags, the RelFlags, and the BGCOM and Mell shall compete against each other using the same TIE and XWA missions to have the right to brag against the others all day long and will also be awarded an IS-GW. Each team will fly the TIE and XWA missions, and both scores will be added together together to produce a final score. The team with the highest score shall be the victors.

LT Haedaliel, for joining Tempest!!!

Me, for not being able to fly for like a month......


***~Quote of the Week~***

Chris: “Everyone knows that you're lazy at heart, and just didn't feel like changing anything. Nobody believes that B, P, and myself just somehow ‘got lazy’.
You're the mastermind behind it all, and everyone knows it. You veg vicariously through us, because you're too afraid to actually do it yourself. That time has come to an end, bring out your inner laziness, and strike down those who oppose you with activity and work ethic! Strike them down with great vengeance and FURIOUS anger, and put the fear of God in those poor helpless souls!
Because there's always room for vengeance, in the lazy life. Locke's Legal Counsel and Priest, Chris.”

Prost: “Yeah, we all know that you find joy in our laziness. It gives you a little grin when you see people who don't work nearly as hard as you. That's why you keep us around. :P”

Locke: “Are you calling me lazy? Are you calling me responsible for your own actions?! How far do you think you can push me? How long do you think it'll be till something... snaps!
::pulls out gun and points it at P and C::
See boys, there's a passage I got memorized for times like this. Ezekiel 25:17. ‘The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.’
::fires away at C and P::
End long Pulp Fiction refernece here ;P”
