Tempest Squadron Weekly Report #10 – 15th of April 2005


***~Introductory Note~***

Good day Tempest crazy people! This week was not to busy for all of us, but I think we can expect the next ones to be more. At least for me, because my tests just ended and I intend to engage that FCHG race Coranel is doing for the wing.....maybe some of you could join me, so we show that Tempest rocks at flying!!!

Tempest Top Gun is getting to it’s second week’s end, and, as usual, I’ll be receiving tfrs until tomorrow, when the results will be announced....Third week’s Free Mission is Tie-Free 155, which is attached to this mail.

If you don’t visit Tempest’s website much, you should check it out often....This week I updated the Competitions Center page, and I think it’s pretty nice.....go check and tell me what you think. Without any other delays, I give you the breaking news......which you all probably already know of.


***~Squadron News~***

* Great news is that we have an old Tempest member rejoining this week. Everyone give a big welcome back to LCM Mike Keyman, who rejoins Tempest after quite a while in the RSV’s!!!

* Tempest Top Gun reaches it’s third week, with several submissions. First week was won by LCM Impulse who takes an IS-BW for the victory...Let’s see who wins next ones....I’m still accepting tfr’s for second week.

* Tempest Recruiting Comp
Two weeks until it’s end, and still no submissions....go bug an old friend who is in the RSV’s!!!

* SL Ozkan Ata has still not responding to any contact attempts...please, contact me

* Squadron Standing Orders: every week i want you to do one of the following:
- Fly something from the Mission Compendium
- Take an IWATS Course
- Write some fiction
- Create a graphic
- Submit something for the Squadron Report (Fiction, graphics, garbage, etc)

(*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 an ISM per recruit (Cadet and RSV's alike) and a PC per 5 recruits, so there’s a chance for you to get lots of medals and to help not only the squad but also the wing.)

This is deactivated until Tempest Recruiting Comp ends.


***~Squadron Orders~***

* SL Ozkan Ata, contact me
* Fly Tie-Free 155 for Tempest Top Gun’s third week!!!
* Fly a FREE mission......or a battle if you dare
* Take an IWATS course
* Participate on every competition that is released


***~Wing/BG News~***

* Don’t forget about Wing X’s Sunday meetings, at #wing_x, at 06:00pm EST (GMT -5:00). There will be medals to the people that show up the most....Go get yours and make Locke crazy to have to award a million medals!!!!

* Challenge crushed the Relentless on the Run-On part of the competition. Still waiting on the overall results of the Flying portion.

* Locke has been promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral....Hooray!!!!

***~Competitions Center~***

* Tempest Recruiting Comp

(http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=1792)
It’s a pretty simple comp: it starts march 1st, and it runs for two months.
For every two recruits that goes to the wing, you receive an IS-BR (I want copies of the e-mails when you have first contacted the recruit).
For every recruit that comes to Tempest, you receive an IS-BR The person who has recruited the most in the first month receives na IS-BR, and the Second Month too, so, there are a lot of medal opportunities.
The recruits can come either from the PLT Daedalus, or from FRG Phoenix, this means, CDT’s and RSV’s.
As you can see, this competition is a long term thing for us to fill all the positions available in the squadron, and to help where we can in the wing...
I would like everyone to participate....Just contact people in Daedalus offering help, or contact an old friend in the reserves, and try to get them in here....It’s best for everyone when we have a full house.

* Tempest Top Gun

http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=1875
It runs through the month of April, with a free mission to be flown per week. Every week top scorer is to be awarded an IS-BW. Combined top scorer for all the free missions will be awarded another IS-BW. Third week’s mission is Tie-Free 155. Mission current highscore is 65,805, laserless. Tfr’s are due next Friday. Get to it!!!! Results for second week’s mission will be announced tomorrow.

* Wing X “I have too much free time” comp

Three week long FCHG race. It ends at the end of April. Whomever flies the most will be awarded an IS-SW. Second place gets an IS-BW. Go for it!!!!

***~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:

LCM Mike Keyman, for returning to Tempest!!!


***~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:

Ewoks don’t fly....so....everyone who does not fly is an Ewok!!!! Great logics, uh???


***~Quote of the Week~***

Mike: “...WTF is EHMs??”

Hehe...I remember saying the same thing when I came back from the RSV’s.....


***~Final Comments~***

Great to have a new member, but, as Impulse has said, we DO need at least four more members, so I can finally be happy!!! Don’t forget to fly Tie-Free 155. Go for the highscore, and you might get yourself a medal. Don’t forget you still have time to deliver me the tfr for Tie-Free 154, for week 2. It’s worth a try, people!!! Good weekend to everyone!!!
