3) Well as you all know we are currently tied 1-1 with Wing III, so here is the deciding round. The choosen Mission is XWA-FREE 66 and as per usual is to be submitted to COM/VA Proton and copied to myself, before midnight on the 18th May.
Remember this comp is worked out on a averages system, so get the highest score you possibly can, and lets see if we can win this thing ;))
4) CPT Paradox has created a number of new Squadron Banners for Kaph Squadron (and I must say its about time ;)). They can be viewed at http://hometown.aol.com/saxophonistd/index.html. Let him know what ya think, though I must say my favourite one is the Yoda one
Ship/Fleet News
1) SSSD Sovereign Recruiting Competition
This is a competition to increase the membership of the SSSD Sovereign. There are three categories:
-- Recruitment Web page. Create a personal, flight, squadron or wing recruitment page(s). Teams of pilots may collaborate or this may be done individually. Iron Stars will be awarded to up to the top three entrants. Deadline: midnight May 31. Send zipped entries or URLs to VA Proton at hullbreach@aol.com
-- Recruitment campaign. Create an outline of the perfect recruiting campaign. Demonstrate in writing how your individual, flight, squadron or wing will conduct its campaign to fill and maintain its ranks. Iron Stars will be awarded to up to the top three entrants. Deadline: midnight May 31. Send entries (text files) to VA Proton at hullbreach@aol.com
-- Total number of recruits. The top three individual recruiters (as reflected in actual pilots recruited and placed on the ship (MoIs) will be awarded Iron Stars. The top recruiting squadron and wing each will be designated "Commodore's Own" for one month and carry commensurate benefits in the ship's cantina.
Deadline: midnight June 30.
So get out there and lets see if we can get some new blood into the Wing, if you would like an example mail to send Cadets let me know and I can forward you one ;)
2) SSSD Sovereign Cantina Drinking Song Competition
This is a songwriting lyrics contest to see who can write the best "drinking song" for the SSSD Sovereign's cantina.
Rules: To be eligible for a medal, a song must have at least the following elements:
-- A title.
-- Byline with ID line (example: By FM/LT Crooner/Gamma 1-2/Wing I/SSSD Sovereign).
-- At least two verses and a chorus (you know, like, first verse, the chorus, second verse, repeat chorus).
-- Strong relation to the ship, its pilots, and-or life aboard the ship.
Submittal: Send entries to VA Proton at hullbreach@aol.com by midnight May 31. I'd prefer text attachments with this format: "song-yourname.txt" .
Awards: Winner will receive an Iron Star-Gold Ribbon. Second and third places will receive IS-SR and IS-BR, respectively.
Disclaimer: Nothing requires the Sovereign drinking song author to specifically write about consumption of alcohol. You can write about drinking milk or water or whatever.
Excerpts: To set the mood, here are a couple of verses hammered out by a couple of the notorious partiers in our cantina:
I'm Michael, the pilot man,
I don't have a colon, man.
Swift kick to your crotch,
Cuz I'm filled up with Scotch,
I'm Michael, the pilot man! (glug, glug!)" -MAJ Mike
The SOV is great, the SOV is strong,
We win our battles and sing our songs,
The Pride of the Empire brings glory to us all,
We are just pilots on this rollercoaster ride into the unknown,
But we fight the fight and bring those trophies back home,
Now lets bugger off to the bar before they close:)" -GN SickMan
3) ASF Honors
00:18 - AD CYRIC [jroscoe@bellatlantic.net]
I would like to congratulate all of the ASF COM's for their hard work and dedication of the past few months. Each has been awarded with Medals!
COL Wil Striker has been awarded a Silver Star for his achievements with Wing XIV.
Special congrats to the newly promoted ASF Elite Squadron CMDR, LC Sarin. His was a very well deserved Promo!
4) Imperial Storm at 1730 Eastern
23:52 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
Just a quick reminder, Sov and BG forces are engaging each other at 1730 Eastern, today (Monday) on IRC, #Project_Faithful.
5) Virus Fix
05:06 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Yep, seems several of us have been struck down by the Klez Virus. Norton has a fix tool and a page of information on it at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html (as linked in an earlier post).
6) Legions of Combat
01:03 - VA Khadgar [khadgar1@shaw.ca]
I have recieved a number of E-Mails lately in relation to LoC awarding. The degree of E-Mails is such that I feel it would be beneficial to put out an official format for filing these E-Mails. If you are missing LoCs on your record and/or feel that you were unfairly not awarded an LoC in submitted results, please E-Mail khadgar1@shaw.ca with the topic "LoC Problem" and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.
7) E-mail virus
15:05 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
Our poor Flight Officer and several others have been infected with an e-mail virus (Klez) that sends out an empty e-mail with a ZIP attachment. This virus is a little bit more crafty, though, because it spoofs the "From" address to make it look like someone else (i.e. myself) sent the infected e-mail out. Check the headers to notify the correct person infected.
8) Wing IX WC open to applications
06:39 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Applications are now being accepted for a new Wing IX WC with the following requirements:
- At least one year of TC membership, and with FOUR consecutive months experience at a Squadron Commander level (or above).
- A demonstrated ability to motivate and inspire pilots, from veterans to those just off the Daedalus.
- Proven ability as a pilot (at least Dragoon in the FCHG).
- Absolute reliability in all regular Wing Commander duties such as turning in weekly reports, BSFing etc.
- NO HCI convictions
It should be noted for those interested in applying, that this is not a position to be taken lightly. It requires your attention on a daily basis and you must be prepared to handle a large amount of email, most of which will need replying. Commitment is key here. If you're not 100% sure you can do the job, don't bother applying.
Applications should be sent to Vice Admiral Drake and Rear Admiral Krax Tarnisar, with "Wannabe WC!" in the subject of the email. Good luck if you decide to apply.
9) Imperial Storm 3 Battle
23:22 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
Once again the BattleGroups and the Sovereign have decided to fight over Sector 0508. This new battle will be on Monday night, 1730 Eastern, in #Project_Faithful. It should be short, so show up on time. If you have any questions, ask your Commanding Officer, or VA Pel the War Officer.
10) New CA:SO!
08:10 - FA Stalker5 [Stalker5@rothwell-clieves.freeserve.co.uk]
After a long search and MANY highly qualified applicants (around 30 people applied!) I have made my final decision on my CA:SO. After reading over the resumé and having worked with him before myself, it is my great pleasure to announce that my new CA is none other than Fleet Admiral Brad! My personal congratulations go out to him, a quick history of the Fleet Admiral follows for all who don't know him...
