Commodore's log Stardate 08012002

Well it's been time to write a report :)
Now, let's see...

1. The Prelude to Andevia competition has started. This is a TO Comp. Try to participate if you can. Details can be founbd here: http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/prelude

2. The ASF will start a wargame soon. Here are the details currently known:

Wing XIII + Wing XV VS. Wing XIV + Avenger

The WC's and COM's of each wing/ISD will be the TA's. Wing XIII and Wing XV will be known as "Corrupters" While Wing XIV and Avenger will be "Disrupters"

3. Since there will be lots of competitions running Top Dog will be put off for a while.

4. I would like to restart the ship newspaper "The Vanguard". A article competition will be set up for it as well so start writing articles that you will be able to send in. For the old issues of "The Vanguard" go to: http://www.lincowski.org/vib/ Have fun reading :) Also the finished paper will be in the EH Newsletter as well. So get out your pens and start writing.

FCHG Contest #2 Results
Happy Birthday Emperor's Hammer, and here are some new FCHG Battles for your glory ! The second edition of the FCHG Mission Creation Contest is now over, with the results hereby released; the winning submissions which become new official FCHG Battles are:

  • TIE-FCHG Battle 4: Nomads and Superlasers, by LCM Talas (awarded IS-PR)
  • TIE-FCHG Battle 5: Attack from Within, by LCM Dujhod (awarded IS-SR)
  • XvT-FCHG Battle 2: Eye for an Eye, by LCM Kittenclaw and LC Halcyon (awarded IS-PR)
  • XWA-FCHG Battle 3: Ronin's Deception, by MAJ RogueWing (awarded IS-PR)
Thanks to these who took the time to enter the competition, the winning submissions are once more of greater quality. The only disappointement is the low participation compared to the first edition, though more time was given and more advertisement was made. I guess December is not an as good as time for activty than during summer, but I can't change the date of the EH's Birthday ;) The next edition will take place during July, results to be released for the FC's Birthday. Rating of the submissions was made prior any correction, TIE and XWA submissions were reviewed and corrected by TAC/FA Striker, XvT ones by CA:TAC/VA Marcin Szydlowski, and no tug was harmed during the testing. See you next summer for the third edition of the competition !

Reminder about mission skipping
Skipping a mission is only tolerated in case of a fatal bug, which is extremely rare these days. If the procedure stated in the cheating policy is not followed, the BSF is simply cancelled without any notification (because the database doesn't support it yet). Actually, skipping a mission for any reason may be forbidden in a near future, if people keep ignoring the procedures.

Unknown Commands on IRC
We have been seeing a lot of people using unknown commands and scripts on IRC channels recently, some of which can be malicious to your IRC Client. These scripts work primarily on human operators running the scripts out of curiosity and infect the victims IRC Client. I would like to advise all members of the Emperor's Hammer that it is usually a very bad idea to run any script you do not know exactly what it does from the code as it can do damage to your client and also if malicious may well earn you a ban and HCI trial.

Other Information

Meetings.
  - Fleet-wide meeting on IRC-Undernet channel #emperor's_hammer (every Saturday at 5PM GMT)

Easiest way to get on IRC is to go to http://www.mirc.com and download mIRC free. The Emperor's Hammer is based on the Undernet servers, but if you need any more help setting up, don't hesitate to call in help from either your squad mates or me.
