XvT Competitions
- 09:59 - VA Khadgar [khadgar1@shaw.ca]
I have signed the EH up for a Competition starting this Friday.
It will last one week, and is specifically oriented towards XvT
players and TIE Interceptors. The competition will be held on
The Zone against participating clubs. LoCs will be awarded, so
please come out! For further details, please see http://www.battlestats.com/games/xvt/war/info/?war1332.
I would also
like to note that the EH is signed up for XvT WoW, which will
start on July 19 and go until July 26. I have been impressed
with pilot participation in WoW events, and I'm sure this one
will get a great response as well!
Starcraft
Tournament - 09:57 - CPT Argon Viper [uboat53@hotmail.com]
Just
to make sure that everyone knows, there is a Starcraft competition
going on on board the Sov at the moment. Its intended starting
date is August first, so try to sign up by then. It will be a
round robin event, so be prepared to play lots of games. The
only requirements are a working copy of Starcraft and a working
B-net account. I'm willing to open this up to non-Sovers, so
join up.
End Of Imperial
Storm III - 00:33 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
After
doing a total recounting of all teams possessions, including
points on hand, values of all items possesed (including probes)
and counting each planet to be worth it's daily RP value, I find
the following new values:
ATF has 16090
after recounting
Sov has 65338
after the recount
ASF has 40924
after a recount
Total is 122352
ATF has 13.1
%
Sov has 53.4
%
ASF has 33.4
%
Goal of the
game was supposed to be 75 %. No team reached that. All teams
finished with lower totals than they started. The Sov has the
highest total points, but the ASF has the smallest loss of points
from their start. This does not lead to a clear winner, as the
rules did not anticipate someone not winning in the allotted
time. I therefore will consider the ASF and the Sov team to both
have marginal victories.
Due to the nature
of this competition, I am not able to award medals to the winning
team anyway. I would however like to commend all of you, and
your teams for their excellent work. Of particular note I want
to thank CM Ender mBind, for his work in this game, creating
the Web Site, and helping with TIE mission creation. I wish to
thank the Sov team, for their excellent meeting of deadlines,
it made my job a lot easier. I want to thank the TFAs of all
teams, for questioning me and the rules when necessary, and for
giving me ideas for the future. But most importantly I want to
thank the pilots who showed up, and everyone who participated
and had a good time. Admirals, I ask that you take into account
your pilots' activities in ImpStorm when reviewing their records
for promotion or medals.
Thank you all
for a good Game, I now take a weekend leave ( I will be away)
and then I will begin work on a few new games, on a much smaller
scale, to take place as soon as possible. There will be a basic
game (very similar to ImpStorm) and a more advanced game (for
those who have wargaming experience). Notice will be posted to
apply for these games.

Petition
for a sequel to TIE Fighter - 01:57 - MAJ Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@a1.net]
There
is an online petition to LucasArts for creation of a sequel to
TIE Fighter. You all being loyal Imperial pilots, I am sure that
is one of the long term goals of your life :)
Go sign it at:

XO's comment
- I don't really think I need to tell everyone how important
a new TIE game would be for the TIE Corps and the EH as a whole.
Currently, we have a situation where our primary platform, TIE
Fighter, is becoming very hard to acquire and even harder to
run on modern systems. XvT had multiplayer, but not very good
singleplayer and, from what I've been told, network code that
isn't exactly that hot. XWA has the eyecandy, it runs on modern
systems and OSes, but it has issues of modification and the Rebel
setting. With some recent PC releases such as JK2 and SWGB, Lucasarts
is finally loosening the bonds and allowing fans to create content.
This could factor into a new TIE game, so go put your name on
the petition. |
