This week was rather productive in the maintenance of the TIE Corps site. An error with incorrect combat events being displayed on the news page was fixed. The competitions system had a bug where competitions were being submitted, but the code was not reflecting this, resulting in about 55 competitions being backed up. This has been corrected and all competitions processed. In addition, the competition center (http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/) has been expanded. Listings of each competition type are available as well as a top 10 of the members with the most approved competitions. Member profiles also now list approved competitions, if they have any. This becomes a good tool in seeing how good a member is in generating activity, as well as the range and variation of the competitions they run.

A Chancellor for the Senate has been selected. Congratulations to Arcanus for being the lucky winner. Training Officer is still open for applications and while it is, the FO will be marking core exams, while I'll be marking all other tests and processing competitions. I've also initiated a review of IWATS and I'm not very happy with the results so far.

It seems the silly season is in full swing. It's come to my attention that certain members are spreading malicious and false rumours involving me. Since these also involve the FC in some cases, I'm not too impressed. It's obvious that these people have nothing better to do and are making no active contribution to the EH. As such, I will be exercising Executive authority and will expel members who do this sort of thing. No trial, no discussion. Gone. Also in line with this, people should refresh themselves with the CoC and all those nice rules, as there's no excuse for not knowing them and no excuse for breaking them.
