WING VIII WEEKLY REPORT
19th August 2002


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

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

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


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

Everyone seems to have gone to sleep in the last week, all stats are down on the last two months. IWATS course have dried up completely, has everyone done all the ones they can? Remember you can re-take for a higher score. Graphics and Fiction are down by over 66% and flying is starting to drop off too.

We're 95 missions off 1000, which means that the target of 1500 is now in danger. 1500 missions means about 36 missions per person in a month, have you flown yours?

CSL is coming to an end, by next sunday we'll know which 3 Colossus squads will be representing us inthe Quarter-Finals, it'll then be a few short weeks until the grand final.

The new BGCOM has announced that a new ECR is on the way, so prepare yourself for a deluge of the usual fiction/graphics/mission creation etc.

Our numbers are still quite low on normal. During last week we gained three new members, but lost another two. I hope you've all been in contact with cadets and we'll see the fruits of your labour soon.

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

This weeks pilot and Squadron of the week are Ardeth Mordor and Omicron Squadron.

NEWS

IWATS Grows again!
14:46 - AD Mell Kerrigan [mell@tiecorps.org]
It's my honour to announce the opening of yet another IWATS Course!

IWATS OPTing Course - http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/iwats/
Congratulations to RA Ender mBind who earns himself a SS for writing the course!

TIE Corps Battlegroups Commander Appointed
13:04 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
After due consideration, I've decided to appoint Vice Admiral Krax Tarnisar as the new Battlegroup Commander of the TIE Corps Battlegroups. His experience as a Flag Officer in the BGs should hold him in good stead as BGCOM and I have high hopes for his tenure. Please be sure to congratulate him on his promotion if you get a chance!

Battlecry Editor Sought
12:48 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Due to restrictions in real life, Captain Werdna Elbee has decided to transfer to the Reserves. This means that I'm now looking for a new Editor of the TC's magazine, The Battlecry. The individual I'm looking for should be well motivated, have a keen eye for humour and be able to organise themselves into receiving and compiling submissions on a regular basis.

I don't have specific requirements from those interested, but graphics, editorial (examples please) and HTML skills are a big plus. If interested, please email me at spellfire@btinternet.com ASAP.
