Wing XIV Report #6 (01.21.01)
Late report, I know.
Very slow week... time to wake up, guys?
CM Dengar, CM Idaho, CM Kyle, and myself had a long discussion about improving Intrepid's activity. We are planning a new competition for next month, more details on that as the end of this month approaches.
One thing that was brought up is active membership. Although our physical membership is not too bad (it's still on the lower end of the TIE Corps, though), active membership is what's killing us. I'm seeing alot of 'AWOL evaders', which are pilots who report in now and then, but never do anything. I have a question for those particular pilots... are you getting any fun out of that? Didn't we join the TIE Corps to have fun? To fight other people in multiplayer matches, and fly custom missions? Try doing something, like flying, writing, drawing, taking IWATS courses, etc. You'll find it's actually quite fun! Plus you're always rewarded for your activities in one form or another. :)
As I mentioned above, our physical membership is on the lower end of the TIE Corps. There's a way to remedy this... recruit! Go to the Zone, to Star Wars message boards, to chatrooms, to real life friends, to Internet friends, to ANYBODY that might be interested in joining the TIE Corps (and preferably the ISD Intrepid :) Help them through Daedalus, and you get a Medal of Instruction, AND, if you've recruited the most pilots to the wing in a month, you'll get a Palpatine Crescent!
