Mailer Woes

It seems the database mailer is down again. This means that NO confirmation emails are being sent out for BSFs, Medal Awards, Promotions etc. If you're awaiting an update, then please check the rosters before you bug the TAC, OPS or me. The problem should hopefully be resolved in the next couple of days.

3) SickMan's Assistants:

Skiny - A senile old story telling protocol droid.
Iggy - A salacious Crumb with a loving of heavy metal
Colin - a bad tempered foul mouthed little astro droid (don't read his translation read out if easily offended)

What do they look like? design a graphic of one of them or write a story about one or all of them, best submission will win a IS-SR, 2nd best wins a IS-BR.


So there you go, 3 non-flying comps, we have forthcoming flying comps with WingXIII and the SOV, so have your flying gear ready:)
