http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=227
From LC Mike, Rat One: Okay, guys. Please send this down to your pilots, mine are attached.
Here is the new Rat Pack Banner competition! Basically, it a competition
to make the banner for the newly reformed Rat Pack, the squadron made out
of the command staff of the Sov. THe only rule we have at this moment is
that it needs to contain a picture of a rat somewhere on it. More rules
might be put in place when and if the pack itself feels there needs to be
some. It says that it's not going to start until the 1st, but I will start
accepting submissions TODAY. When you submit them, send them to me and
Proton. We will be the judges for this competition.

-- New guidelines for EH and TC Web sites. Read up. An unintended consequence of this is that several squadrons and wings have taken down their sites because they do not comply. However, this has been deemed unacceptable by the FO. In his words:
TC Homepage Standards - Update
08:29 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
It seems some people need clarification on this: Squadron, Wing/Ship and Battlegroup websites are mandatory. If you are a CMDR+, then it's your responsibility to make sure these pages are in place and meet the requirements. This doesn't mean you have to make the pages yourself - there are plenty of people in the EH that can do this for you. Whether you make the pages or not, they remain your responsibility.
These requirements have not be brought in to make your life more difficult. They are there so that TIE Corps sites meet a high level of standard. A Cadet is more likely to consider joining your Squadron if the page has all the correct information and is regularly updated.
-- EH Internet Guidelines
Rules:
Sites MUST have links to the EH Disclaimers
(http://www.emperorshammer.org/disclaim.htm) and EH Privacy Policy
(http://www.emperorshammer.org/privacy.htm) pages displayed on the main
page of their site or on the navbar.
Sites may NOT use tsx.org as a redirection service.
Sites may NOT be hosted by CrystalTech.
Obviously, all sites must abide by Bylaws and AoWs.
All TIE Corps sites must follow the TC Homepage Guidelines.
Sites who do not obey these rules will not be linked to by any major EH
site. Webmasters who do not comply after being asked to may be subject to
Security Officer action.
The Internet Officer reserves the right to add rules to these at any time.
Strong Suggestions:
Sites with excessively long URLs should consider domain redirection
provided by MinosNIC at http://www.minos.net.
All sites should be compatible with the latest version of major browsers
(IE 6 and Netscape 6).
Sites should preferably be optimized for 800x600 resolution, but if it is
necessary, 1024x768 is also acceptable.
A good idea is to run your site through the W3C HTML Validator
(http://validator.w3.org/) and CSS Validator (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-
validator/).
Do not have unnecessary large images, popups, or Java applets on your page.
They slow down loading time tremendously.
A warning about using MS Word and older versions of Frontpage to create
websites: they add in large amounts of unnecessary tags, which slow down
loading times.
-- TIE Corps Homepage Guidelines:
Mandatory Pages:
News page
Squadron/Wing orders
Competitions/War Room - current and past with results
Mandatory Links:
TC Main Page
TC Message Board
Flight Office (Fleet Standing Orders)
EH Main Page
Privacy Policies and Disclaimers
Articles of War and Codes of Conduct
Recommended Pages & Links:
Recruitment Page/Enlistment Link
Squadron/SovWing/Ship/BG Standing Orders
Roster/Link to eh.net roster
Manual Links (Training, Ops, Combat, Fleet, War etc)
Various Office/Bio pages
Other message board links
Reports listing
Periodical awards (i.e. WC's Own, Pilot of the Month, etc.)
Additional guidelines:
Wing/BG pages should preferably have an automated news system with CMDRs
(for Wing pages)/COMs(for BG pages) able to post.
Links must be up-to-date (i.e. no links to the old "TC Message Center")
Credit should be given to the original author(s) of the page, as well as
any current maintainers.
Font is preferably anything but Times New Roman, default size.
Site should work on 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions.
TIE Corps members who do not comply within 2 weeks face removal from their
position.

people's semi-capable hands. :P" -CPT Mage
" This week’s words are:
" Stick`s Object of the Week
This week, our Morphing friend decided to transform himself into a pint of beer, but to his obvious discovery, he switched quickly back to his normal status since nearly 8 pilots were running towards him to drink him, and to smash him when done. That was a close one Stick : P " -LC Frodo
"Yes, this planet it mine! Soon the ignorant masses down there will worship
me as a GOD!!! YES!!! Oh, sorry. I didn't know anyone was listening. Go
team?" -LC Mike
"WORSHIP ME, My people! -- oh, uh, were you saying something Mike?
;) " -LC Freelancer
"Welcome to Delta. First a new uniform! *hands french maid outfit* and a meal would that be grey lumps with brown sauce or brown lumps with grey sauce? " -Sirik
"Mike whistles. A short time later, three 8 foot tall radioactive socks
enter the room. "Ok, boys. Please, would someone do me the honor of
beating the rest of the puns out of Mr. Freelancer? THanks." Mike then
walked out of the room, smiling." -LC "Caesar" Mike
"Hrm... They've not yet evolved eyes, as I quite easily tip-toed past
them, and watched as they clobbered Sirik instead.
Go figure!" -LC "Lightfoot" Freelancer
"I think it's black and gold, but brain pill experiments tend to addle my mind somewhat. But not as much as poor Reaps...wait, I mean...improve my mind! Yeeeeah...:P " -LCM HicRic
"/me straps on his Anti-Cattle Prod Armor. Glad I kept this thing around;p WElcome back Reapa man! As you know, drinks are on YOU!;p " -CPT Morth
"I swear to god we have about 150 years of EH experience in this wing...
wing geriatric or was it four, my memory is failing me" -COL Bilbo
"I dunno about that, Philo, I was thinking something more along the lines of a fine ass naked woman hoisting a beer mug. I think that suits us pretty well... :P " -LC Triji Boliv
" WOOHOO!!! Our fleet stuff is cooler!! (beat the "Funky Chicken" you Reds ;)) " -MAJ Argon Viper
" Just out of curiosity, now that the WC, CMDRs, and FLs are forming squadrons, what are the remaining 15 members of the wing gonna do? ;P " -MAJ Argon Viper
"Sleep." -CPT Flelm
"Why did you tell him that?! No he knows the secret
about the Secret Wet Suit Society! :P" -MAJ Nurel Turr
"I somehow have difficulty envisioning all these slimey tunnels through the
Sov...
Honestly, people, I can deal with the 8-foot-tall socks, the rabid monsters,
the microwave with a mind of its own (my personal creation... ;P), but
slimey
holes?
Why don't we just call it the SSSD Swiss Cheese then?! >:P" -CPT Mage
"Ah, yes... you came into an empty squadron, so you must have somehow missed
the initiation.
"I somehow have difficulty envisioning all these slimey tunnels through the
Sov..." <-- well, experience is the best teacher.
/me gives Proton the SWSS secret sign and looks meaningfully at the floor..." -LC Philo
" Isn't there a rule somewhere that pilots who outrank their CMDRs automatically have to buy them free drinks for life ... or something like that?
If there's not, maybe there should be ;-)" -COL Sasquatch
"Szu’s ‘Let’s Speak Polish!’ Moment:
Your teethbrush is in the toilet.
Twoja szczoteczka do zebow jest w ubikacji." -LCM Szu
"oh and you also forgot the subject as well. You were getting so good at
doing that, is the brain medication failing again :P " -COL Reaper
