The Make A New mIRC Function Competition
19:10 - Fleet Admiral Aiden Cantor Karias [io@absolutek.ca]
I have started yet another COMM competition (this must be a record for COMM ;). Its called the "Make a new mIRC function" competition. The idea is to make a simple function that provides a useful way to do a task in mIRC. Entries do not have to be massive full fledged scripts like P&P, rather a simple paragraph of code that will do something useful.
Overview
The Executive Office is perhaps one of the most important in the Emperor's Hammer. It covers a wide range of duties and responsibilities and requires a large skills base from all staff in the office.
-Diamondback wins XvT SSL! ASF Flags in second!
-Some more BG Comps in for you all! Hurrah!

Hints of the Week:
Commodore’s Opening Words
Goood Morning crew of the ISD-II Intrepid! This week was full of hardships and well...it was almost reportless, something which I will compensate for right now.
Right, I kinda went MIA for a few days...5 or 6 I think. Its all because I have no Internet firewall, so my dad won't let me use his Internet until he can set it up. Other then that, he'll probably set it up somehow soon or give up or something. So I'll be back 100%. Right now I'm here 55% which is better then nothing. I can do everything except BSF and get things BSFed...hell I might even be able to do that...so everyone keep doing what you always do.
The Intrepid activity comp has ended two days ago! The results have been made! The WC's Own and top Squadron is....*Drumroll*...KRAYT SQUADRON! And the Commodore protector, none other then CPT Tvan'Oris himself! Congradulations. The Full results of every division will be sent to you guys soon.
There is still yet to be an Ops officer. So medals cannot be awarded. Hence why your MSE awards are sooo very very late. Nobody else is getting medals either,so don't feel bad.
New BG Competitions are out! One about RACING!!! RACING!! Details in the competitions section.
You might have noticed that we lost quite a few pilots during the last few days. Therefore, everyone is to put their Game faces on, RECRUITING TIME!!! I will make a recruitment competition. And Phantom and I will think of something to get another WC's own and COM protector in two months...so get ready for some Comps!
SSL Ended! Diamondback Squadron won the XvT Division and the ASF flags came in second!! GREAT JOB DIAMONDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of fleetwide comps! Mission creation wars FINALS are on. Featuring RA Frodo March Vs. MAJ Carl Lost and CM Viper. I can bearly retain my evil laughter.
CPT Justin is making an Intrepid picture archive! Send pictures of yourselves to him at justinmantonico@aol.com also send him whatever you believe is relevent!...you know...stuff....

Open Commodore Positions
09:21 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Vice Admiral Jahan Kalar has decided to retire as Commodore of the ISD Relentless. As with former ImmCOM, COL RogueWing, Kalar was a fine Flag Office who's presence will be missed.

Vice Admiral Jahan Kalar has decided to retire as Commodore of the ISD Relentless. As with former ImmCOM, COL RogueWing, Kalar was a fine Flag Office who's presence will be missed.
This means that applications are now being accepted for two Commodore positions in the Battlegroups (Immortal & Relentless). Applicants should be able to meet the following requirements:
Good online presence - e-mail, MBs, and some IRC (particularly meetings if possible)
No HCI convictions within the past 12 months
A successful command history in the TIE Corps (to include a tour of at least two months as a Wing Commander or six consecutive
months as a Squadron Commander with two different Squadrons)
Ability to work with the entire Chain of Command
Excellent working knowledge of all EH & TC protocols and policies (including the Fleet Standing Orders)
Specific long and short term goals for your ship, Battlegroup and constructive contribution towards the TIE Corps as a whole
Technical skills (HTML, mission design etc) are beneficial but not mandatory
You may include up to two references, at least one from a current or former superior (obtain permission from these individuals first. No, you can't ask me or Krax). As a Commodore, it will be your task to look out for your ship's long term welfare including it's growth and activity. You will be required to work with the Wing Commander on an almost daily business handling ship affairs. A good COM can mean the difference between the ship's success or failure and is not a job to be entered into lightly.

Flight Officer Back
10:20 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Ok, wipe away those tears folks, I'm back. First off, my sincere apologies for this unexpected absence...a culmination of deadlines and serious computer problems all conspired to keep me off line for the past week.

Ok, wipe away those tears folks, I'm back. First off, my sincere apologies for this unexpected absence...a culmination of deadlines and serious computer problems all conspired to keep me off line for the past week.
Anyway, the majority of updates are now complete. Those that aren't, I'm afraid will need to be resent to me since I ended up losing a significant portion of my HD during the troubles. Again my apologies for this.
In other news, I'm sorry to report that Vice Admiral RogueWing has decided to step down as Commodore of the ISD Immortal and take up a FM's position in Ghost Squadron. RW was one of the finest Flag Officers to grace the TIE Corps and I'm very sorry to see him go. The Flight Office extends its thanks for all the work he's put into his Battlegroup and Ship.

I know this is a bit off topic, but look at this site.
After this Game is finished, then there could be an Imperial MOD made for Star Wars. This game is especially made for MODers. The MOD that comes with Starshatter itself seems a bit superficially! However if there is a good Imp. SW MOD made this could help the EH very much!

I'm hoping to promote mIRC scripting in the EH, and perhaps find a few good coders to help make an "EH Script" package. The contest will end at 12 midnight EST 2003/09/05. Please send all submissions to io@absolutek.ca.
