WING NEWS Slowly getting there...   As some of you may have noticed, I wasn't exactly at my best last month. There are reasons for this which I won't go into here. It did prove a few things, namely how much work I need to put in. February's stats were barely a quarter of the activity levels of two months ago. Things are slowly improving once more. Things are getting done now, Medals are being awarded, BSF's are getting processed and pages are getting updated.   Statistics Pages   These have been given a major update since I discovered Pi's stats page was broken. This eventually meant re-writting the entire lot. It now looks the part. They will be getting several more updates over the course of the next few days, ready for the end of the month. [Statistics Page]   Squadron League   Another item to be fixed this week was the return of the Squadron League. Pi Squadron leading the way with back-to-back 4-0 victories. This weeks fixtures see Mu facing off against Iota, Eta squaring up against Omicron and Pi taking on Nu. Should be some good matches.   Non-Flying Comps   At the request of several members, I started making non-flying competitions from last month. However, last month only saw one submission from the entire ship. This month is not much better, the only fiction submission being from Admiral Mell... who isn't even aboard. There are loads of medals up for grabs in these easy competitions, I want to award them. It takes maybe half an hour to write a short story, the same to do a simple graphic and maybe an hour to make a simple mission. There is no excuses. Deadline for this is fast approaching at 31st March. I hope to have a few more submissions by then.. (hint hint)   MSE's   Admiral Mell has informed me that he expects the wing review in on the 5th of every month, That means you commanders need to make sure your MSE's are done and dusted by the 3rd at the very latest. Please, lets not have any hold ups this month..   Database   The Squadron Statistics pages are almost complete, there is a few niggling little things I have yet to add. They are now getting regular updates too which has led to competition amongst the squadrons... More on that later.. REVIEWS   None this Week... STATISTICS This developed into a full-scale war. Nu and Omicron fighting it out for the Squadron of the Month award. Some good figures from some commanders too.. Pilot of the Week 1st Ace Omicron Squadron 12 BSF's , 63 Missions PC 2nd Curtis Nu Squadron 12 BSF's, 56 Missions PC 3rd Daniel Klivian Omicron Squadron 12 BSFs, 51 Missions PC 4th Indaro Eta Squadron 8 BSFs, 37 Missions ISM 5th Shadd Iota Squadron 8 BSFs, 34 Missions ISM   Ace defeats Curtis to win the Pilot of the Week title. He may have won this battle but will Omicron win the war? Pilot of the Month 1st Curtis Nu Squadron 31 BSF's , 147 Missions 2nd Saadam Pi Squadron 17 BSF's, 97 Missions 3rd Rogue Omicron Squadron 17 BSFs, 80 Missions 4th Shadd Iota Squadron 15 BSFs, 71 Missions 5th Ace Omicron Squadron 13 BSFs, 67 Missions   With a week to go, Curtis holds a lead over Saadam who notoriously wins Pilot of the Month every month... Will the apprentice have done enough to hold off the master? Watch this space..   Squadron of the Week 1st  Omicron Squadron 31 BSFs, 146 Missions x 2nd  Nu Squadron 18 BSFs, 74 Missions x 3rd  Eta Squadron 10 BSFs, 46 Missions x 3rd  Iota Squadron 10 BSFs, 46 Missions x 5th  Mu Squadron 4 BSFs, 17 Missions x 6th  Pi Squadron 0 BSFs, 0 Missions x   Ace's Blitz helped Omicron to the top of the table. Iota, Eta and Pi although had pilots in the top five of the week. Mu And Nu slipped to the bottom. Squadron of the Month 1st  Omicron Squadron 62 BSFs, 297 Missions x 2nd  Nu Squadron 49 BSFs, 210 Missions x 3rd  Pi Squadron 17 BSFs, 97 Missions x 4th  Iota Squadron 19 BSFs, 89 Missions x 5th  Eta Squadron 12 BSFs, 54 Missions x 6th  Mu Squadron 12 BSFs, 26 Missions x   With a week to go, it looks like it's going to be a battle for 1-2 and 3-4. Omicron leading the way closely followed by Nu. Pi Squadron have been very quiet recently allowing Iota Squadron to creep up on them. Former Triple-champions Eta hold fifth spot and Mu remain rooted to the bottom of the table.   What are we playing for? Let me show you... SQUADRON OF THE MONTH TROPHY Given to the Squadron of the Month, Handed back at the end of the month. SQUADRON OF THE MONTH PLAQUE Given to the each member of the Squadron of the Month. Never taken back. PILOT OF THE MONTH TROPHY Given to the Pilot of the Month, Handed back at the end of the month. PILOT OF THE MONTH PLAQUE Given to the top three Pilots of the Month. Never taken back. THE DREADED WOODEN SPOON Given to the last-placed Squadron Commander, given back at the end of the Month.   He he.. I Trust that gives you something to aim for (or not in the case of the Wooden Spoon)     RECRUITMENT    Mu Squadron 43  Nu Squadron 43  Pi Squadron 43  Omicron Squadron 43  Iota Squadron 43  Eta Squadron 43  WING TOTAL 43 Well there has been a lot of comings and goings in the past month or so it's taken me to write one of these. Hopefully this will become a more regular occurance on my part.   MEDALS Too many to count... :)   PROMOTIONS Erm.. Yes.. NAME / E-MAIL CHANGES Haven't seen any this week SQUADRON SUMMARIES Mu Squadron New Commander in the face of Zept Leeartic from Eta Squadron. Same old problems. Dukimar is doing really well, others are too quiet. Get off the bottom of the table guys or else the wooden spoon is going to pay a visit..   Nu Squadron Most improved squadron over the last month or so, Now challenging Omicron for the Squadron of the Month award. However, teamwork is essential if this is to be the case, you cannot rely on one person (Curtis) to do it all for you. Help him out!   Pi Squadron Been kinda quiet lately. Okay Okay, You've had two 4-0 victories in the squadron league but your slipping in the Squadron of the Month Stakes. You've been second for four months running and if you're not careful, you could end that..   Omicron Squadron - Squadron of the Week Excellent Teamwork, Communication and attitudes from all members of Omicron. However, with the imminent departure of Daniel Klivian, how will the lethal killing unit he's created react?... favourably lets hope..   Iota Squadron New Commander Shadd is showing you all what to do. Pi Squadron's third place is well with range.. you can do it!!   Eta Squadron All quiet on the western front eh? I know you guys are down in numbers but that didn't matter a couple of months ago. It's up to the flight leaders to show everyone else what to do. Lets hope the new guy does some real damage.. MISCELLANEOUS Erm.. This concludes the first report in a long while.. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Drake
