Aurora Standard Date - November, 12th, 2004 - Report #33

"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think off; the tree is the real thing." - Abraham Lincoln.

The first assignment of the Wing XIX: The Story of Lancers competition has been completed. No one submitted
for this, although it was a very simple webhunt. I wasn't in the position to make a submission, but I expect you to try
next time as will I. We don't want this month's assignment to become reality ;).

This period, we have to write a line of text that could be put on the grave stone of our Wing. So send a sentence
to WC Kane Reese (kanereese@tlen.pl). This period (Task II: Writing) runs until the 15th of November.
See the separate e-mail or below for details. Remember, this deadline is soon!!!

The extended wing flying competition - Wing XIX: Wings of Durasteel is there for one more week.
So guys, this is your chance! Grab your joystick, jump into the cockpit and fly a half hour. Simple.
There are still a lot (8!) of medals up for grabs . Look below for more details.

Additionally, our Wing needs your help. With just a few days to turn in your creations for BJ, you would
have to be quick, but remember: participation counts, it doesn't have to be masterpiece.
Look at some examples from the past: http://avenger.minos.net/bj/archive.html
If you can't make it this month, try next month. Thanks!

Activity:

I must say I am disappointed after this week. Not a single e-mail or talk on IRC from anyone >:(.
A lot of projects and competitions are running to give you the chance to excel. But you ignore them.
I am happy with any activity, especially competitions, but show at least some activity guys!
Last few weeks were so much better, come on! You joined this club for a reason.

Communications:

Any questions or comments, mail me!
