WING VIII WEEKLY REPORT
26th August 2002


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The latest Colossus Poll is at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISD-Colossus/surveys?id=10854372 Go Vote!!

There's very little in the way of news this week, everything pretty much hinges on CSL for the next 3 weeks. However once that's done we can get around to something different for a change. TIE Golf is first on the menu, with 5 medals up for grabs, an IS-SW and 4 IS-BW. After that we should be into the next battlegroup comp.

Last time we were pipped for first place by the Immortal, so let's go one better this time. There's more info in the competitions section, so get your thinking caps on.

We're on 1142 missions for the month which is down on the target, however I think we've got a good chance of making it to 1500.

WEEKLY FLYING MEDALS:
ISM for 25 missions
PC for 45 missions
BS for 80 missions

This weeks pilot and Squadron of the week are Wysseri Arestar and Omicron Squadron.

NEWS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Reminder about mission skipping
03:57 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
You are not authorized to skip any mission. Bug or not. All missions of the Compendium have been completed one day or another, you may have misunderstood the way to complete the mission. Fatal bugs are very rare, and if it happens to be that, just wait for it to be corrected and hold on your pilot file, do not submit it. DON'T SKIP ANY MISSION. The battle would be anyway removed later from your profile. Just a waste of time for everyone.


Commodore Appointments
10:53 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
I'm pleased today to be able to promote two individuals to the position of Commodore...

~ ISD Relentless COM - Rear Admiral Theodore
~ ISD Subjugator COM - Rear Admiral Smitrock

Both are veterans of the TIE Corps, and I'm sure they'll enjoy every success in their new positions. Congratulations!


Auroran News Network Submissions
22:18 - FA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
Well, in case some of you haven't heard of it yet, the Auroran News Network is a fictional EH newspaper that's based on real newspaper style (an example would be www.holonetnews.com). ANN will be taking over the TC Battlecry, so anything you had to submit for it, send in for ANN. ANN is meant to have a mainly humorous aspect to it, but serious articles will be accepted. Please try to keep the articles fictional though - for example, an article about your wing competition would probably not be so interesting. However, if you made it seem like a real story like a real reporter, describing the grudges between wings, certain events, the outcome, but all in a fictionalized way, that'd be good. The main purpose of this is to be entertaining. You can find a list of the topics at http://www.ehnet.org/article.php?a=view&id=64. Please try to get in your articles ASAP, no later than about the 1st or 2nd week in September. I'll give a more firm date in later IO reports. Send your articles to Fleet Admiral Ari & Fleet Admiral Priyum.
