Salute

Hello everyone! On the begining: CMDRs! MSEs! ASAP! Now, let's get back to the usual stuff. This week was almost dead for our wing. Almost nothing has happened during the time between last and this report. Well, at least nothing I would know about. Furthermore, since I have no idea what lie to put more in this section, I'm going to the another one... News!

Wing IV News
° I have decided to leave Yod opened and already chosed the CMDR. Waiting for COMs and FOs approval.

Wing IV Competitions
° Wing IV Summer Bash
° Starting Date: 15th of June 2003
° Ending Date: 31st of August 2003
°
° This compeition is going on between the squadrons of Wing IV. Each pilot
° of designated squadron can earn points for usual TC activities:
° * 1 point for flying one mission,
° * 5 points for one LoC earned,
° * 10 points for writting a fiction (must concern the wing),
° * 10 points for IWATS course passed,
° * 10 points for designing graphics (about StarWars, prefferably the
° wing),
° * 30 points for designing one mission (prefferably - the mission
° plotline must concern the wing)
° And now:
° The overall squadron score = sum of all pilots scores from the
° squadron.
°
° 1.) Squadron with the highest number of points wins.
° 2.) Pilot who earns the highest number of points will be awarded Iron
° Star Silver Ribbon. The second scorer will be given Iron Star Bronze
° Ribbon...
°
° Additional RULES:
° 1.) I'll be announcing the winner myself, so
° everyone except me can participate.
° 2.) Send your submissions to MAJ Sarnok(mmilli_esq@hotmail.com)
° and me - LC Wolverine (drakon@o2.pl)
° 3.) State in the topic, that this is the submission for Summer Bash
° Comp, don't forget to add your PIN, your name, and your squadron
° name (like: "Summer Bash Comp submission, 6205, Sarnok, Kaph
° Squadron) - this will help me a lot with collecting all the
° submission, to prevent any possible problems with lost submissions,
° etc.
° Wing IV War Archives.
° This is a ficition competition similar to previous one, although I have prolonged it to the next year, so I could award the winner of each round every month. As a part of TIE Corps, Wing IV participates in many combat operations, like defending convoys, attacking them, strike missions etc. The basic idea of this competition is to write a story about one of these missions or combat operations (made up of course). The story has to include entire Wing and be hmm.. astonishing - like an intersting novel. I will be choosing the winner myself.
Sovereign News
° The Sovereign Squadron League playoffs begin on July the 5th.
° New graphic competition has started. Details in lates Sov News.
° GN Stele Pellaeon's General's Summer Patrol comp is into its second
° week. Only a handful of pilots failed to survive the first week of the
° patrol. Details at:
° http://users.pandora.be/dweezil/patrol/
° New Wing V WC has been chosen on place of removed MAJ Devon Taralis. Congratulations are to be sent to COL Gen Es'mith.

Calling all PHP Developers!
14:11 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
As excerpted from Internet Office Report #98:

"Alex Foley has organized another new service for the EH. Using the source code from www.pastebin.com, he has created the brand new EH Code Collaboration (CC) site at http://code.minos.net, with help from Xander Drax on a great design. The CC is a place for you to post any code you're having trouble with and have your fellow PHP developers help you work out the bugs! Just make sure to include any comments about what's wrong at the top!

I'm also happy to announce that the planning stages of EH Wargames are nearly over. Today marks the beginning of the CODING STAGE. After some heated debate about which type of database we will use, I have concluded that PostgreSQL will best suit our needs. I am also putting out the call for ALL PHP DEVELOPERS in the EH. We need coders! You should have at least some experience with creating database-driven applications. Don't worry if you're not familiar with PGSQL - it's very similar to MySQL in terms of actual syntax, and the differences aren't hard to learn. If you're interested in helping out with PHP coding of EH Wargames, send an e-mail to ari@tiecorps.org with how long you've been coding PHP, when/how you can be contacted (especially on IRC), along with any and all example sites you can give with your work. Not everyone will be accepted, because there are certain levels of experience we may need. Please do apply, though!

However, I do want to encourage all PHP developers to send me an e-mail anyway with their skills and experience, so as to create an informal developer's network. That way whenever I need to contact someone to do a PHP project, I can have email addresses readily available. So please, even if you're not interested in EHW, e-mail ari@tiecorps.org."

Avenger Recruitment Competition
12:29 - COL Dax Corrin [eggpine@hotmail.com]
Have you ever thought you had what it takes to be an Avenger? Now's your chance to prove it! The first-ever Avenger pilot recruitment competition will begin July 7th. Open to both XvT and XWA divisions, this will pit the best MP pilots in the fleet against each other to win invitations to join the best. This is open to all pilots in the EH. IS-GWs will be awarded to top pilots in each division, IS-SW to 2nd place, and IS-BW to 3rd. The top finishers in each division, if not in Avenger already, >:P, will be invited to join. You do not have to accept the invitation to win the medals or participate.

There will be a round-robin to determine the top 8 finishers in each division, which will then battle double elimination to determine the top guns in each division! Enter by emailing eggpine@hotmail.com and letting me know what division you wish to enter. You may enter in both divisions if you wish. Enter by July 5th, and first-round matches will go out July 7th. Good luck to all!
XWA Mission Tutorial
12:27 - VA RogueWing [roguewing25@yahoo.com]
The new XWA Custom Mission Tutorial site is now up. Written by VA RogueWing, it shows detailed steps on how to create new custom missions for XWA. Each step includes pictures for easy reference. This site was written for people who have never done any mission editing before, and should be fairly easy to follow. It can be found at http://www.minos.net/~immortal/noob/index.html

Emperor's Hammer Mission Compendium hits 3000 missions online!!!
12:54 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. And now, my dream came true. 10 minutes ago, I have added 3000th mission to our mission compendium, and we have achieved another great milestone: 3000 missions online. Since I took over the TAC, I have set TAC3K as my primary objective. And, after 6 months, I have finally achieved it. Of course it would not be possible without hard work and dedication of entire Tactical Staff, and Tactical Officers before me. I would like to thank the following people:
° Former Tactical Officer: SA Kawolski and HA Striker, FA Starlion
° Former Tactical Coordinators: Drako, Gord Darkonian, Tissaya Argat, Mark Schueler, Pellaeon, Enahropes, CrazyR2 (and all those I forgot)
° My Tactical Staff: Philo, Styles, Apophis Kuma and Master (your cookies are inbound)
° And all people who supported me by testing and correction and of course submitting new battles and free missions
I really appreciate your hard work and I herby set another goal for my office: TAC5K! When will we hit it? I have no idea. It took me 6 months to release 700 missions, so we will see. And now, let's celebrate!!!! Drinks on me!!!
New battles and free missions
12:47 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@klub.chip.pl]
I have just added some more battles that brought us to TAC3K!!!!

FO's History Competition
14:35 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
I noticed the other day my lack of an Imperial Pilot Navy Record (INPR). Now I know I wrote one many moons ago under the constant bugging of my then CMDR, General Sasquatch (now Elite Omega CMDR), but finding it proved unsuccessful. So rather than rewriting it, I thought it might be interesting to get members of the TIE Corps to submit their own versions, with awards going for the best entries.
Submissions can be serious or humorous, the only criteria is that they be in good taste and have a good amount of content. Send them attached as either .doc or .txt files to spellfire@btinternet.com by July 13th. After this I'll decide on the winning entry and post all submissions for viewing.

One of the serious problems in planning the fight against American doctrine, is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine...
