Hades Squadron Report

CMDR/CM Sandor Clegane Reporting in for Hades Squadron on October 16, 2004

 

]]>Squadron News<[[

 

           The Sov got some really sad news this week, Admiral Proton is stepping down as Commodore after 3 long, hard, and productive years.  I have served under Admiral Proton in different Sov Wings and Squads on and off since he was appointed COM in September 2001.  He has always been the ‘Model’ Commodore and leader.  He will be missed.

 

 

Flight 2 FL has been open for some time now, and not a single one of you is interested?

 

Flight 2 is in need of a Flight Leader.  If you would like the position email me and let me know, I want to get this spot filled ASAP.  I have also posted a recruitment message on the MB’s.

 

Imperial Storm running, Admiral Proton and I need some volunteers to be scouts…if interested contact Admiral Proton at: hullbreach@gmail.com.  The Admiral and I have recruited Colonel Turr to run a Fleet and Guard one of our planets.  Thanks Colonel

~ TIE Tattoo Search comp for VA Ky Terrak! He is looking for a COMPLETE tattoo of the TIE Fighter game from the expansion pack, not the original one. Medals to be awarded will be IS-GR, IS-SR, and IS-BR. Subs must be sent to kyterrack@aol.com with the subject of 'Tattoo of the Empire'
~ TAC is working on an online pilot viewer for the game platforms. Check it out here.
~ The SO is open. If you have any criminal justice background, that helps in your apps. :P
~ From the XO: "Weekly reports with *real* content" - I'd say my report have *real* contents, yes? :P
~ Now, to say that I am disappointed about the very low numbers of those who flew for the SBoTM, would be an understatement. Only 3 pilots, including myself flew any of the three missions. While technical problems crop up from time to time (which I understand as I've had more than my fair share. :P), I was hoping for a better turnout. Knowing the pilots that we do have and knowing most of their abilities, I'm shocked that only 2 other pilots flew. I do hope that there are more submissions during this next round. If you need the game CD's and have a CD-burner, let me know. I can email the files to you (depending on the size) or burn a CD and send it to you, free of charge. Anything to get you to all to fly! :D
~ Wing VII Banner and Motto comp is still going on! No subs yet and they are due by the end of Oct, 04! Submit!

Wing XVI WC Appointed
 
Many congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Keller who has been selected as the new Wing Commander for Wing XVI!

In other news, I'm still looking for a new Tiger Squadron Commander. The Squadron flies the TIE Bomber, so if you're an active Freeworlds pilot looking for a command and enjoy dropping torps on hapless Rebels, let me know (spellfire@btinternet.com)!

Windows XP SP2 and You.

As usual the Microsoft data on their new "SP2" only elaborates on what it can do more now, and not on what it will fail at now.

As it looks now, SP2 will not run a utility called "TIEPATCH.EXE", something which we use in all patches, also not when you use the XPInstaller.

We will be replacing this utility ASAP but for the time being: if you want to play missions that use patches do not install XP SP2.

Note: Uninstalling SP2 doesn't work, it will just remain on your system and pretend its not there.


IO Open For Applications
Overview

The Internet Officer (IO) is responsible for providing technical consultancy to the membership of the Emperor's Hammer on matters relating to the Internet, such as web hosting, website construction and other areas. In addition, the position oversees a number of ongoing projects, such as the EH Message boards, Image Archive, etc.

Selection Criteria – Essential

1. Good written communication skills
2. An acceptable level of presence in online media such as IRC, message boards, etc.
3. Fast email response time.
4. The ability to work with a range of EH personnel, including the Executive Officer.
5. Experience at some level of command.

Selection Criteria – Desirable

1. Proven experience and knowledge of at least one server side scripting language (ie. ASP, PHP, JSP, etc)
2. Existing general knowledge of a range of computer-related matters

Addressing the Selection Criteria

When addressing the selection criteria, you must supply supporting evidence to back up your claim of meeting the criteria. A generally accepted model is the STAR model, where you outline a Situation, Task, Action and Resolution relating to the criteria. You should meet at least the essential criteria to be considered for the position.

References

You must include at least three (3) references in your application. At least one must be a current or former superior (preferably current). Ensure you have their permission first. If it is found out that you have used someone's name without their permission, your application will be disqualified.

Performance Management

Performance will be evaluated in a number of key areas. These include submission of reports, number of complaints from members, online conduct, achieving tasks and duties outlined in the Training Manual, as well as tasks outlined in the EH Tasks List for this position. Above average performance will be rewarded, while below average performance, if continual, will result in removal from the position.

Submitting Your Application

Applications should be directed to the Fleet Commander (fc@emperorshammer.org) and Executive Officer (xo@emperorshammer.org) with the subject "Application for IO". The application should include your response to the selection criteria and other relevant details, such as your ID line and contact details.


Retirements
It is with heavy heart that I announce the retirements of two of the TC's longest standing members. AD Proton, SOVCOM has asked to be retired to the reserves once a replacement is found. AD Proton has served as the SOVCOM for over two years, and wishes to turn the ship over to younger blood.

AD Mell Kerrigan has also asked to retire to the reserves after completing a few more duties. Mell has been a huge influence on many TC and EH policies as well as a thorn in the sides of many a CO :)

I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THESE POSITIONS.

If I do open them up I will post requirements here in the news section and the Message Boards.

I am sorry to see these two members leave.

Wing XVI WC Required
Due to RL time constraints, Marcus Caine has decided to resign as Wing Commander of the Pred and move to the RSV. I’d like to thank him again for his enormous contribution towards getting Freeworlds off the ground and running in the TIE Corps. This of course means that I need a new WC, and I’d like to get him or her in place ASAP.

Requirements

• Command experience, preferably at CMDR level or above, for no less than 4 consecutive months
• An active EH character on the Burnout Server
• Familiarity with all of the EH/TC rules & policies, and the Server rules
• Quick email turn-around and high online presence (in-game, message boards, IRC etc)
• The ability to run and moderate innovative and interesting competitions on a regular basis
• All the usual Wing Commander stuff as described in the Training Manual
• Help develop the FW platform and carry out regular admin type stuff (updating the EH list, performing AWOL checks, etc).

Applications should be sent to spellfire@btinternet.com with the subject “PredWC”. Up to 2 references may be provided (make sure you have their permission first). I’ll be making a decision on Thursday 14th October. If you have any questions about this, let me know by email or on IRC.
