ASFBGCOM and ISD GreyWolf Com Selected!
19:30 - HA Cyric

I have selected a new ASF BGCOM and a new ISD Grey Wolf Com. I realize that it has only been two days since I posted for applications, but I didn't give a deadline for a reason...I wanted to see who was the most interested in the positions and who has the online frequency need for the positions, especially for the ASF BGCOM position.



With this in mind I have selected VA Gidda as the next ASF BGCOM.

For the ISD GreyWolf, the current WC, LC Crimsonfury has been promoted to the rank of RA and given command of the Grey Wolf!

Congrats to both!

Iron Mission Creation Results for Match #4
17:26 - AD Frodo
This week we had a 3 way match in light of CM Fahrer's late appearance in the Iron Mission Creation competition. It was between LC Mouse Droid, LC Ric Taldrya and CM Fahrer.

It was a hard fought battle in front of a very large crowd in the #TAC channel which results in the release of XvT Free 184, XvT Free 185 and TIE Free 254.
The winner of the match was Commander Fahrer who, even though arrived 1 hour late managed to create a very very good TIE mission. He will advance to the Semi Finals. The schedual for the semi-finals can be seen here.

Also, the Flying Challenge resumes for this week! the pilot who holds the high score for TIE Free 254 will be awarded the Iron Star!

Freeworlds Update
05:23 - HA Priyum Patel
The new Freeworlds Server is back up and play as resumed. The new server's IP is 209.200.19.44. All characters and previous settings have been restored. One thing that has changed is that all Krath are now on the Empire's Kill On Sight list. Any EHers with Krath characters must suspend use of either Krath or Imperial tags while hostilities exist.

Further, I'll be removing all Eidolon, Argosy and Rapax entries from our user list tonight. If you have not yet created an EH-F or EH-S pilot, now is your last chance. Please email me to get added.
