Greetings, and glory to the Empire!

As you may be noticing by the tardiness of this report, the last week has been pretty busy for me. Mostly due to the fact that I have been working the overnight shift. It seems as though the holiday season has snuck up on us! There are quite a few new competitions out there, and plenty of opportunities to participate.

The Revenge of the Veterans competition has ended, with a victory for the veterans! I'm sure that makes everyone here happy, save me. :-) I actually had a horrible contribution - time constraints. Anyhow, without further adieu, here are the results:

Points were distributed as follows: 5 points for the highest scorers, 3 points for the second highest scorer, 2 points for the third highest scorer, and 1 point for all other participants. The veterans clenched victory by a 5 point margin. Total score: Veterans - 9, Rookies - 4.

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.

I want to open Colossus COM for apps... if you could please post the following requirements:

• Must have successfully held a CMDR position for at least six months in one squadron, or have served a complete tour of duty as a WC or above
• No HCI convictions for Conduct Unbecoming
• Familiarity with TIE (XWA/XvT experience as well is preferable)
• Significant IRC presence
• Quick email turnaround and admin accountability
• Desire, knowledge and responsibility of and for running both internal and external competitions
• A serious commitment to the quality of the ISD Colossus, and to making it productive, active and fun

• All applicants must also be prepared for an IRC/AIM/MSN interview with me.

Please also include ideas, goals, and what you believe you bring to this Ship that could take it to the top (as well as anything about yourself you think I’d like to know. Don’t worry about length, if you’ve got a lot to say, that’s fine, long as it’s substantial.)

Send all applications to AnimeJWC@earthlink.net

FW: Territory Engagement
15:27 - HA Priyum Patel

The filthy New Republic has announced a territorial engagement against the Organised Crime syndicate. In return for permission to trade in Spice, the EH will be helping to defend the OC against the greater foe, the NR.

TE: 7PM GMT / 2PM EST Saturday 11th December (tomorrow) – Join #ISD_Predator at least 30mins before the start for planning and orders

TE Password - *see email I've sent out. If you didn't get it, let me know*

Targets to Defend: Kessel Moon Garrison – get to Kessel and explore the system if you haven’t done so already. The NR will also be attacking Kessel itself, so be prepared to go there (if the order is given). Kessel is the home base of the Black Sun, which for the purposes of the TE must be treated as Hostile, even though they are part of the OC. Avoid them if possible. Make sure you’re Neutral to Bounty Hunters. Kessel space is apparently full of them (NPCs).

This is a fairly simple TE – just show up and kill anying from the NR/Jedi. If there are mercs involved, I’ll let you know whose team they’re on. This is an excellent opportunity to show that the EH can be a valuable ally to have in TEs.

New ASF BGCOM Chosen
01:24 - FA Cyric

I'd like to announce that I have chosen VA Gilad Pelleaeon, Current GreyWolf COM, as the new ASF BGCOM. Gilad has served with the ASF for quite a long time and has some excellent ideas for the Battle Group! Congrats!

Freeworld Updates
14:23 - HA Priyum Patel

A new patch for 1.65 has been released and can be downloaded from: http:// usa.assassinsden.com/Default.aspx?tabid=22&g=posts&t=5386. If you're having problems getting it from the Burnout site, let me know (remember you must be logged in to download from the site). To install it, simply double-click on the file install it into FLMM, then activate it within FLMM. Ignore the warnings about it conflicting with other stuff.

Secondly, we have received a request from the Emperor to stop shooting the Black Sun, which we will adhere to. While this doesn't take them off our hostile list, for the time being, avoid getting into scraps with them.

Problems installing games in XP SP2?
13:17 - FA Ender mBind

http:// www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?p=61517 has the response Lucasarts support gives you and it seems to work as well. :)
