VANGUARD AND FLEET NEWS


A Sunday

SGOOB Time ( SickMan Get Out Of Bed time)

The old geezer trudges to the caf pot and skips getting a cup and takes the pot with him, as he sits down his bones and chair creak like some old forgotten ghost story. Rubbing his eyes he realises he is not wearing any pants but does not care, it's Ship Report time, but first things first......

SickMan reaches in a drawer and pulls out a rather large blaster and blasts the wall, and on the wall is a huge poster with RL written on it.

Yep RL has been at me again and keeping me busy:(

Onto important things, the ASF: SC V ends today, last chance for points and also it's the big bosses birthday to

Send your congrats to him on #ehcoc and having a good flying session too:)

Drinks all around for DS!!!!


Ok onto another matter now, it's come to my attention that on #isdvanguard there has been some idiots kicking people, So CMDR's i will be asking you to be my eyes when i am not there, use your ops carefully and do NOT automatically pass ops to anyone who comes into the channel, anyone abusing the privilege ops will be banned from the channel and if i see anyone from this ship being a idiot with ops i will be considering their position abaord the ship, all CMDR's please send me your current nick in reply to this so i can update you all to your current nicks with the bot.

(have alook at attached file, very funny pic from CM Praetorian)


SickMan Silly word of the week = WibbleForce



NOTE to CMDR's, please remember to forward this to your pilots

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.

TIE Corps Banner Design Competition Results
12:05 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]

1st: Captain Tempest, Kappa Squadron, awarded Iron Star - Gold Ribbon

Congratulations to these three individuals. The winning entries and all other submissions can be viewed HERE.
