SOVEREIGN AND FLEET NEWS AND NOTES
-- Imperial Storm IV is in the books, and the Sov achieved victory! Congratulations to everyone who took part or rooted from the sidelines. We proved again that we are the best ship in this fleet.
-- Imperial Storm V is coming! FA Cyric wants the next game to be started soon. This one will feature equal forces among the four groups. Our team is already making plans for winning this game as well >:)
-- WO/AD Pel seeks feedback on potential changes to the War Manual: "I am currently in the process of updating the War Manual with some changes that I proposed a long time ago, that have not yet been implemented. I would like you to pass this email around to your respective Commands, as I am seeking input into what people find unclear in the Manual." If you have ideas or comments, please e-mail Pel at Palinathas@aol.com.
-- The Beer Cup! This is a RED ALERT competition for November! We are facing the Intrepid and the Vanguard in a TIE, XvT and XWA comp. We need ALL PILOTS to fly this one! Note: Omega Squadron has been asked to sit this one out, because the Inty and Van don't have an elite squadron to back them up. Here are the flight assignments:
TIE-TC Battle 211
XvT-TC Battle 75
XWA-TC Battle 24
Sovereign pilot files are due to me by Nov. 30.
-- Wing II defeats the Greywolf and the Immortal:
Wing II: 144
Immortal: 60
Greywolf: 3
-- Wing IX defeats Wing I.
-- The Sovereign Cup is in its second round. LC Todbringer sent out the Round 1 results this week.
-- Two former Sov pilots who are now in the reserves have been referred to the Security Office for possible disciplinary action. They spewed extremely foul language in personal attacks on active officers in the Wing II IRC channel. Everyone needs to know that we are not going to put up with this garbage. Obey the CoC or expect to face the consequences.
FORCE STRENGTH

PLANETARY OPERATIONS
-- Finally, I achieved the Commando skill this week. Now I have a flamethrower and am merrily cooking Rebels >:)
-- If you stop by the SSSD Sovereign Retreat House and Cantina in SWG, you won't find me or my vendors or artifacts there anymore. GA Ronin (Krenn'sa in SWG) discovered the place, announced he was going to decorate it, and ordered me and Sasquatch to clear our stuff out of there. So I packed up all my stuff (quite a pain in the butt) and relocated my displaced operations in my own house just a klick or so up the road. I had been waiting to decorate my own house while the EH PA decided on street layouts for the new PA city. But there are no layouts yet, and my hand has been forced by the eviction from the cantina. Now, if anyone asks me to move my house because of some street grid plan, I'm going to say no. The irony here is that Compton set up the cantina for *me* in the first place. Sometimes really fun games are made not fun.

COMBAT DEBRIEFING OF THE WEEK
"Now.. I've received some insults on #airlock54 about my TIE score... Now for the record there's a perfectly good explanation: I'd been momentarily blinded by a supernova outside my window." -CM Ras Kronar
"I'm getting annoyed with TIE-TC 211.. I've failed mission 5 too many times on stupid things for it to be funny... and yet I'm gonna say "hehe"." -CM Kronar
CANTINA COMMENTS
"News flash for ya buddy! That's no mud!!!
(*deftly dodges it*)" -LC "Matrix Dodger" Freelancer
" "Hah!" Shouts Argon from beneath his mountain of force imbued poo..." -MAJ Argon
"Bah, crybabies. They're just jealous because our ship's bigger than theirs. Don't they know that size doesn't matter?
Or does it?
HEY GUYS! BATTLEGROUPS! OUR SHIP'S BIGGER THAN YOURS! NEENER NEENER!
I hope all our XWA pilots will rally to give their whiny butts a well-deserved and asked-for second kicking." -COL Inkwolf
"/me goes to get his flightsuit with the spiked boots =D" -LT."DrunkFool"Conker
"WOOHOO!!! A better showing than last time! /me puts away the cat urine and Free's socks, much to the relief of the rest of the wing ;) " -MAJ Argon
"Coffee? Aren't you in 8th grade? Geez, that addiction's coming earlier and earlier, in my day it didn't start till high school =P " -MAJ Argon
"Hey!! MY SOCKS!!! (*snatches the socks back, hugs them tightly,
covetingly*)
MINE! Why, you could have damaged them -- *sniff*sniff* -- Ohmygaw
you WASHED THEM! They smell cleaner! NOOO!!!!!
*looks down*
Oh, thank the maker. Wrong item. Here's your cat urine, Argon. Now
gimme them socks back." -LC Freelancer
""Oh, by the way. i found some of your socks. Here they are now!"
Mike laughs as the socktroopers enter the room and beat Freelancer to a bloody pulp.
"Hope you don't mind that I've used them a couple of times. heh. Ha ha. MuHAHAHAHAHA!" -LC Mike "MuHAHAHAHA" Chistu
"LC_Mickk> Heh, well I guess the fact that the Sov survived is because the Sov has more balls ;)
"young man you are so very lucky and blessed by God to be living far from me...." -LT Dagger
"As are we all...
Ahahahaha!
Sorry... Couldn't resist :P " -CM Kronar
"one word...
"OWNED" DRINKS ARE ON US
/me starts dumping kegs on random wing II'ers" -LT "DrunkFool" Conker
"Ouch. Sometimes I almost feel sorry for the fact that our wing kicks so much butt." -COL Inkwolf
"No cameras, eh? (*goes all "Baldwin" on the person with the flash bulbs, with no cameras to capture the momentary outburst*)" -LC Freelancer
"... ... ... Who the heck is "Baldwin"?" -MAJ Argon
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT INTO QUOTES WITH MORE THAN ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Jumps so high he smashes head into roof of cantina, gets stuck there*
Err, right. Can somone get me down now? My neck's starting to hurt.
*Struggles a bit*
Damn
H."Stuck".K " -CM Hobbie Klivian
""Must... Use... Secret Weapon..."
Free takes off his boots, exposing his socks. The Socktroopers, recognizing who was, in fact, their daddy, beat feet (pun intended) and ran out the door promptly." -LC Freelancer
"You still owe me my socks!
Drop the subject, sure! But drop the socks, too! Oooh, I didn't mean that literally! Now I have to follow the path of holes they've eaten through the deck and find out where they came to rest! *mumble*
Yes, my socks CAN be toxic folks. If you see them, turn the other way!" -LC Freelancer
"Oh crap, they've breached the hull! Seal off all sections! SAVE THE BOOZE!!!!!!!!!!! =P " -MAJ Argon
"Their true power comes from odor, not oozing, I must add. You CAN get within close range and not be in danger. Well.. in DANGER, yes, but not from being dissolved. Only from asphyxiation." -LC Freelancer
"Proton, I'm obviously pissed off like everyone here I guess, but if I have to fly another time to crush our enemies I'll do with great hatred and immense pleasure, like only a Dark Jedi can do." -COL Ixion
"hehehe, seems this flood of "Free-Dinks" won`t stop within the next days..../action looks at Inky - DRINK!!!" -LCM Zeth "where is the milk for Kronar :D???" Durron
"hmmm...not sure about you, but something about the pink text just doesn't fly right if you ask me. oh well." -MAJ David
" ::blinks:: Did you just say "Ding-danged"....??????? where in the hell did THAT come from???? :P " -AD Joe
"Save "your" booze, my good man. Mine is perfectly safe in secret locations around the ship which are independently shielded and could withstand the blast of an axial superlaser (hmmm.. Might have said too much, note to self: move the stash in the axial superlaser core) " -LC Freelancer
"It's only when we don't have a full hip flask (or 15 in my case -- why did you think I moved like an old geezer? My age?!?!) that we think of booze. Well, and sometimes when we do. It's just that Argon finished his personal body booze storage units (PBBSU for the sake of making nonsensical acronyms)" -LC Freelancer
"Free....Dinks? Anyone particular in mind? :P " -COL Inkwolf/not a Dink/
"But Freelancer said his booze was ASL proof. So that means that the reddish liquid must be...Hey, has anyone seen Argon?" -LC Mike "looking for MIA pilots" Chistu
"Don't worry i had only a little sanity left but its alrdy gone i mean hell how sain can u be and still fly good?" -LCM Klech Remart
" I believe you are mistaken good sir. In fact, I will bet you a good British Pound (assuming you pay for the trip to England so I can get one) that you cannot find a single person here who understands you on a regular basis =P " -MAJ Argon
"I guess that wasn't too bad for being on a ship with "no activity" and that "should be shut down" or whatever he said earlier..." -LT Zyrax
"/me emptys a keg of imported eggnog on Kron" -LT Conker
"Let's go OWN the rest of the non-SOV wings :D " -LT Conker
"well im goin to grab a guiness and see if i still remember how to fly lol." -LCM Klech Remart
"tons of pencils (to stab them into ppls eyes)
always a joke at the hand
and now booze from the W VI cantina...
What do you have next??
the lost Gimel Girls(TM)??
or some other Twi`Lek girls :D:D:D " -LCM Zeth Durron
"err.....ARE YOU READING MY MIND...err...i meen what ever gave you that idea...
/me stabs zeth in the eyes with pencils and down wing I booze =P " -LT Conker
"You can be completely sane and still fly good, as long as you are inebriated!" -LC Freelancer
""Sic him, Bubba! He messed your bed up!" -LC Freelancer
"He sleeps on your booze!?! /me drops the booze. ew ew ew ew ew!!! =P" -MAJ Argon
"No, Argon, you splattered my fighter, which he lives in, with monkey poo. THAT's why he's endavoring very much so to rip your arms out of their sockets (whipid or not). I'd not let him catch you, were I you, which I'm not, but were I you I'd not." -LC Freelancer
"He hasn't yet. I have written to him 3 days ago.
I tought that in the minimum requirements for becaming member of the CS there was "FAST EMAIL RESPONSE TIME" >:-/ " -COL Ixion
"No you dont have to salute,just get drunk or as the case with most of us, Drunker.
Hooray for beer,hooray for wing 1 hooray for the small barkeep who makes sure we get home when blind drunk and doesnt take to much out of our pockets for his efforts." -LCM Arlins Scabo
"Alas, the poor barkeeps's efforts come to no fruition, as we cannot pay and, hah, cannot be denied our drink!
Yar-HAR, maties! More rum!" -LC Freelancer
"Im not sure if leaving an impression is a good or bad thing :-P .hell at least some one remembers me though lol thats a good thing." -LCM Klech Remart
"/me breaks into the PPB to find an empty area filled only by LSD&B. Hmm, I think I'm just leaving. *backs slowly out the door and breaks into a dead run toward Free's booze stash* Protect this!!" -MAJ Argon
"Hmm, methinks Freelancer's not catching on. I'm running toward YOUR booze, dragging PROTONS enforcers. Consider that this is the booze you stole FROM Proton and I think you'll get it ;) " -MAJ Argon
"MMM!! Mmm-rpph-grrrlgrlll!!
(Translation: Hey! I wasn't stealing yours!)
RHHHaaa-Mhraaa-grkkk-blurble!
(Translation: I have my own!)" -LC Freelancer
"*looks at Free in shock* You actually went and got your own booze... I feel like I don't even know you anymore =P " -MAJ Argon
"*A dark cloaked figure runs in, flings an office chair at the drunk man, and then runs off again* " -FA StarLion
"ok, yah Drako, you and gidda do rule at XvT, but then I've neva seen you fly me at MP.... unless I'm severly mistaken.
And also XvT doesn't make you rule at Competitions. As far as I remember Sov sqads out played you at XWA and TIE in the SSL. I'm really quaking in my boots" -COL Jon
"
"So until next week, this is CM Ras Kronar saying what Euripides once said: "Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish." -CM Kronar
"Next time when you address me, address me by my title as Fleet Admiral...This I find insulting.." -FA Cyric
"I spend most of my day passed out in a pool of my own spit." -CPT Vector
"From my experience, those who have been in constant IS play since it began know the rules and respect them. It is only a select few who try to misread them and/or manipulate them." -LC Freelancer
"Yeah, I'd almost forgotten about the Beer Cup. We will hold off on this challenge from the Relentless until we've crushed the Vanguard and Intrepid like two empty beer cans. >:) " -LC Josh
"HAHAHAHA!
The two TI's and the T/W must have collided during a victory roll ;) " -LT Brin Chaser
"I think i speak for everyone when i say......wOOt!" -LT Willis
"bueeerp im alive" -CM Szymon
"Yay! Good to hear that you're alive buddy!
*hands Szymon another keg of beer." -LC Nurel Turr
"stick em up. Let me at em let me attam *end scrappy doo impressions* " -COL Jon
"I've bought booze only twice in the past... ooh... two years. And then it was ONLY for the most deserving pilots to be recognized in our wing. But, large-scale? Naw, man. Naw!" -LC Freelancer
"The Indiana Jones Trilogy got me in the mood to stomp the living crap out of those goose-stepping Nazi goons. I installed Return to Castle Wolfenstein and started playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault again. Stomped this big evil possessed Nazi wench tonight in RtCW. God, that had to be one of the most horrific bosses I've ever seen. The noise that thing made after I emptied a clip of MP40 rounds into it...*shudder* " -LC Josh
"I propose we try to find out by throwing both Kasparov and the computer of the top of the nearest and most conveniant tall building.
we should know the results within 15 or 20 seconds after throwing them off" -LCM Arlins
"P.S have got Gastrich influenza and feel/look like sh*t do not expect much activity" -LCM Arlins(pass the drugs)Scabo
"Erm, Beer Cup? Yes that would be it. But actually I prefer entire crate of bottles of beer than just a ... cup :) (Cup of Tea yes, but cup of beer - that's just sick!)" -LC Wolverine
"Does anyone know if mixing antibiotics with large dozens of alcohol is dangerous??? :) " -LC Wolverine
