Wing IV Defeats Wing V In Grudge Match
08:23 - VA Proton [Hullbreach@aol.com]
In a competition using TIE-FCHG Battle 3, COL Reaper's pilots bested the Wing V bunch led by COL SickMan. LC Halcyon of Teth and MAJ Yoman of Mem were the individual top pilots for their respective wings. Congratulations to Wing IV and the medal winners! Oh, one more thing: Because his wing lost, CM Murkrow Defender had to give up his infamous prank monkey. Wing IV promptly barbecued the pest and enjoyed the fixin's as a cantina snack.
RE: Reporting errors
00:38 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
The web server software that this site runs on usually gives very detailed error messages as to what the problem is relating to an error. However, by default, Internet Explorer suppresses these detailed reports, instead displaying a generic "Error 500" message. In IE 6, to turn on these detailed messages, go to Tools>Internet Options. Then select the Advanced tab. Under the Browsing heading is an item called "Show friendly HTTP error messages". You want that unchecked if you want the detailed error reports to come up.

New Jedi Knight 2 trailer
06:08 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
A second trailer for Jedi Knight 2 has been released and this one is pretty good. Twice the length of the one on the Lucasarts site, it gives a very nice indication of the scale of the levels we can expect, the gameplay and what multiplayer will look like. The good thing is it doesn't seem to play like a Quake 3 mod. You can get it at http://files.ausgamers.com/?agn=details&id=1621. The trailer is 14.6megs and a zipped AVI file, using the Divx codec.

Prelude to Andevia extended by one week
08:28 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Prelude to Andevia's closing date has been extended by one week, to 14th March 2002. The competition really needs entries in the fiction, design and other category sections. Most of the fiction events have been updated so you can now work in teams on them if you so wish. Also, some rules have been updated, so be sure to check the competition's site for details on this. Tip on fiction stuff - one of your main goals with your fiction is to give some sort of explanation for what's happened on Andevia. So, for example, when doing an alien species entry, it'd be a good idea to include some sort of characteristic that would result in the events so far.
The competition website is http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/prelude/
And now for the Really important stuff:
Wing News, Activity:
Not a whole lot for news, I'm holding off on any big wing wide comp for a while..seeing as some nifty new wargames wil be starting soon.
As for activity, there are severel pilots who have most of the activity on the wing. I would like to see everyone fly at least one battle a month! This really isn't hard to do...and takes at most an hour of your month. =) Commanders, I would like you to follow through with this in whatever way you feel neccessary.
