~Tempest Squadron Weekly Report #5 - 17th of October 2004~
***~CMDR's Rant~***
Yes, the rumors are true. I have returned. ***~CMDR's Rant~***
However the rumors of my demise are far from true, while i do have a new scar or two, let me assure you im alive and kicking.
While i belive the current rumor is i was captured by bounty hunters and was working in the mines of Atatah IV, the truth is i was updating my system to something much better than the paperweight i had before. I wont bore you with the details, just know that im back and ready to kick it doggy style.
So onto Business.
***~Squadron News~***
*New Pilot*If you haven't already, please welcome SL Impulse who joins us straight from the Daedalus.
It's always great to have a new pilot and we hope you enjoy yourself here Impulse, oh and feel free to make yourself at home.
Buy him a drink or two before you...umm welcome him properly ;)
Caption Comp*
Your hereby ordered to go to http://www.tcbg.net/images/captionsept.jpg
Think up some smartass saying and email it to Mell & Stuart (cc me).
I've made it mandatory so you have to take part. No Exceptions.
It does honestly take ten seconds, do it now before reading any further.
*Comp 3:16*
Ladies and Gents. I'm a General, i have a FCHG Score of over 1000, i have a bucket load of medals, ive created several missions & according to IWATS im pretty smart.
Now's your chance to put me in my place.
I'm going to assign one FREE mission per week. I am going to fly it, and anyone who beats me will win a IS-BW (plus bragging rights).
This weeks mission (DUE: 23rd of Oct) is XWA-FREE Battle #40 - The Capture of Firixon.
Best of luck to all. Oh and may i just say, god help you if i score the highest >:)
*Design a Tempest Mascot*
I think it's time the mighty Tempest Squadron had a mighty mascot.
So here's your chance to design one.
It could be anything from 'Tommy the Tempest Tiger' too 'Tempo the Ewok'.
Use your imagination.
To enter you need to send an email to me, containing any and every important info about the mascot. The more detailed the better.
Enjoy.
Its always great to have fresh meat, so buy him a drink or two before you umm welcome him properly ;)
*FREE For All*
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1545
Due to my computer problems as of late and only one pilot taking part im extending this comp for one more week.
The new Due Date is 23rd of October.
It's a typical flying comp, highest scorer wins the medal.
The mission is TIE-FREE Battle #249 - TIE Fighter: Demonstration.
*Have Your Say*
Message Board Topic about what you guys want to do is at:

So i urge all Tempest members to go have their say.
Now go! :P
*Wing Competitions*
There's a few Wing/Ship comps on at the moment, ive listed them below.
Bubba's Bouncy Battle Ballooza
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1528
Bubba started a new flying competition.
The comp includes three battles, one to be flown each week,

The battles to be flown (in order) are:
XWA-TC 8: Hammer to Anvil Week One:1st - 8th
XWA-TC 13: Hammer to Anvil II Week Two: 8th - 15th
XWA-TC 35: Hammer to Anvil III Week Three: 15th - 22nd *current mission*
Good luck to everyone.
*Tempest Website*
Unfortunately i haven't made any progress.
However provided everything goes to plan the site will be up this week.
*Squadron Standing Orders.*
Every week i want you to do one of the following:
*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 a ISM per recruit (Cadet and RSV's alike) and a PC per 5 recruits, so theres a chance for you to get lots of medals and to help not only the squad but also the wing.

***~Dark Lord of the Week~***
The highly prestigious title of Dark Lord of the Week is only given to the person who has most advanced the success of the Squadron, amused the CMDR, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper bag. This week's winner is:Mell.
I raise my glass to you.
***~Ewok of the Week~***
Yub Yub!Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's Prize Ewok is none other than:
Impulse
Welcome to Tempest.
***~Quote of the Week~***
<`Master> hmmm, wonder if i open a club in the empty tornado quarters, stuart will disapprove?<Azurin> Heh, you never know with Stuart
<`Master> perhaps if i say 50% of profits go to the ship
<Azurin> Heh, maybe he'll allow it then
<Azurin> Or you have to give him some of the profits too
<`Master> nah bull**** :P
And so we reach the end of another report.
Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as it enjoyed writing it.
