Vice Admiral Frodo March reporting for the ISD-II Intrepid on 01/04/04 #30
Commodore’s Opening Words
Gah! Its report number 30!!!! Which means? I've been here for a while...yup. Alot of good times! Anyway, we have an action packed report! Alot of stuff going on.
Firstly, I've received the MWE, awards should be hitting your inboxes real soon!
More good news, the emperor's Hammer is 9 years old! Hurray! And its time for some CoLs, CMDRs will pick the 3 pilots in each squadron that they think are the most loyal, and then Gidda and I will pick the three top in the wing and they will get fancy CoLs!
On a sad note, I will have to go on leave for one to two weeks starting today, I am moving the Canada's Capital and have no Idea when my father will set up our computer over there. However I hear there will be a laptop...I'm kinda confused, but don't worry! It will all be normal within the next two weeks. Probably less. Gidda is the man t'ill I'm back!
I've started a new comp! Its the beat the COM protector comp, look in the competitions section for more details! You have until the 10th to fly XvT TC 94 and try to beat the score of 21,726! GO GO GO!
Next month is the SC, are you ready?!? Just a little clarification about what it is for our newer members. The Aggressor Strike Force supremacy comp is a month long activity comp that decides who is the flagship of the ASF, The Grey Wolf, Intrepid, or Vanguard, or even the Aggressor. The winner is the flagship...
We are the defending champion for the second year running, we still got some work to do before we can make that three. And I will not loose.
Oh, and the build Frodo a ship comp has ended, for the two participants, the results and medals will be out real soon :P
Emperor’s Hammer/Tie Corps News
eXtensible Polling System
14:11 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
This week I would like to officially announce the release of the much-anticipated IO project I've been coding the past few weeks. Ladies and gentlemen, EHNet's eXtensible Polling System (XPS) is now completed and available to the general public. XPS primarily serves as a means of "data collection" with lots of nifty features! The main page at http://www.ehnet.org/xps/ has some helpful information. We also HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you read the XPS Help Manual since it's full of helpful information and is sure to answer 95% of any questions you can think of.

Keep in mind - XPS isn't just for polls (that's why it's eXtensible!) - we encourage you to come up with your own uses for it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

The Office is particularly interested in 'fictional' courses, akin to Galactic History, Physics, Imperial Politics, Starfighter Technical Studies and so on. As always, each sucessfully launched Course earns the author a Silver Star (or equivelent)!

Seems I let this one slip past me. Commendations of Loyalty! The Emperor's Hammer's Anniversary is on January 7th, 9 years I believe, and we must celebrate it!

Also, each Battlegroup Commander has the discretion to award a maximum of three (3) awards to his Flag Officers.

2004 will mean new things for everyone in the Emperor's Hammer. We may have to wait one more year for a new prequel, but with the platforms recently released by LucasArts and the ones to come this year we can be more active than ever. Let's all make this the best year ever. Happy New Year!
