<SALUTE>

Greetings, and glory to the Empire!

Happy Holidays! Channukah just ended, and Christmas Day is nearly upon us - I hope that everyone has enjoyed the season so far. Not much news within the squadron or wing since my last report, but rather huge news for the organization as a whole - GA Ronin has officially stepped down as Fleet Commander, and has named SA Astantine his successor. This is definitely the end of an era - not just for the Emperor's Hammer, but the Star Wars flight sim community at large.

WC Zeth Durron has announced a holiday themed competition all Wing II members can participate in, X-Mas, the Wing II Way. Pilots are encouraged to submit "Wing themed" wishes to Zeth via email by no later than December 31, 2004. There are no limits on the number of wishes each pilot can submit. Zeth will choose the two "top" wishes - the number one wishmaker will be awarded the IS-SR. The number two wishmaker will receive the IS-BR. Put your thinking caps on!

There are also two Fleet competitions, both due December 24, 2004.

TIE Corps Christmas Bash. Fly both XVT-FREE#41 and XVT- FREE#30. Please submit to me, per normal procedure. You are also required to email FA Cyric at jroscoe@comcast.net with your confirmation email(s) and/or mission scores. The winner of the competition will be decided by the highest cummalative score.

TIE Corps Holiday Jingles. Create a TIE Corps themed holiday song for the fleet using TIE Corps names, squadron names, etc. The funnier, the better!

TO banner competition
11:53 - RA Drako

Because we're changing all communication and security systems in the Training Office, I've decided, that my office needs a new banner. The current one is old and doesn't reflect the changes that occured in the Training Office. I want something new, something flashy, something what I would be proud of. If you think you can provide me that, what I want, here are some details:

- dimensions
Banner should be about 460 pixels wide and 60 pixels high.

- size
Not bigger than 25 kb.

- awards
1st place: IS-PR(TC)/SotGV(CD)/GN (DB)/IO (HF)/AS-PR (IS)/VC (IW)/GP (BHG)/MoS- DR (DIR)
2nd place: IS-GR(TC)/SotGM(CD)/SN (DB)/CoD (HF)/AS-GR (IS)/CBV (IW)/SP (BHG)/ MoS-PR (DIR)
3rd place: IS-SR(TC)/SotV(CD)/BN (DB)/SoH (HF)/AS-SR (IS)/WRC (IW)/LC (BHG)/MoS- GR (DIR)

All submissions are to be sent to me (to@emperorshammer.org) with topic "TO Banner". Deadline is 30th of December.

Visual Basic professor needed
09:54 - RA Drako

Due to HA Ari's recent resignation I'm looking for a new VBS professor.

Requirements:

- basic VBS knowledge
- ability to grade tests at least once a week

I will also require weekly reports about your graduates counts.

What the PROF position will give to you? You will become a professor, which is a highly responsible and respected position. There are also other benefits, like a nice office in the academic complex on planet Ullyr, additional week of vacation every year and a Gold Star for every 100 graduates.

NOTE: It is a part-time position, so you don't have to resign from your current position to become a professor.

Applications are to be sent to me (to@emperorshammer.org) with topic "Make me a PROF". I'll be accepting apps only for 2 weeks.

1 Year COO Celebration Ladder!
11:59 - AD Khameir Sarin

Friday 17 December will mark my 1 year point as Combat Operations Officer. To celebrate this event I will be hosting a MP ladder all weekend at http://www.minos.net/~ssy/ladder/ ladder.php/55. Pilots have the opportunity to fly XWA, XVT, and FW in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, or skirmishes. All pilots who participate in this weekend ladder will receive bonus awards (its a secret) for their participation. On top of the bonus awards, pilots will receive LoCs for each win. DFCs will go out for the most wins, most matches, and highest ladder score. I highly encourage all pilots to fly as the rewards will be worth the effort.

You can meet in #ehcoc all weekend for matches or flying any of your mates at anytime you choose. You can download fun XWA Skirmishes at http://sarin.minos.net/files/skirmishes.zip.

NOTE* THESE LADDERS ARE OPEN NOW! TAKE ADVANTAGE!
