TAC Report # 109 (2003-10-10)

This report was submitted by FA Marcin Szydlowski


Introduction:
     Hello guys and gals.
     Another report, another week. EHBL has been released and we are not removing all bugs, and helping people to understand that there is no other way, and old compendium is gone forever. Every new project requires some sacrifice, but fruits of EHBL are great. No cheating, that's the most important. More fair competitions since you can't see the missions. Easy instalation of new battles, especialy helpful for our new members.
     I personaly consider EHBL as best EH project ever (next to EH.net database itself), and I will make everything I can to solve all problems, so people won't complain anymore. Don't worry, MAC version is coming very soon and majority of people already have EHBL working. If you have any problem, contact SCO, CA:SCO and TAC. We will try to help you. But try to be as specific as you can, when describing your problem.
     Another thing. You have a who lot of new battles, from XW-FREE to XWA-CAB. All HSs have been approved, so no delays there. What else can I say? Well, read report.

Bounced emails:
     My wpozer@poczta.onet.pl has been bouncing emails last few days, so if you have sent me anything to this account or tac@emperorshammer.org and didn't hear back from me, then mail me again or use pbmike@go2.pl

Mission Creation Wars - 2003 Edition - Results:
     After months of hard work, and several battles created and released, we have finished Mission Creation Wars. I consider it as great success and overall enjoyment, though I have some thoughts for the future. So here, I name Rear Admiral Frodo, winner of Mission Creation Wars and best EH Mission Designer. Congrats. Also, big congrats to dynamic duo of Carl Lost and Viper, who took 2nd place. Congrats!
     Next MCWs will start in 2004.

Gold Tug Awards - 2003 Edition:
     No nominations yet??? Are you alive people?

Tactical Directive #2 - EHBL:
     As posted on TC.news: From November 1st on every high score achieved without EHBL, will be rejected. All EH pilots are ordered to use EHBL for every battle and mission. People violating this regulation may be send to HCI with "failure to obey order or regulation" charges.

Final word:
     I have more time now, but still use mail. I am on IRC from time to time and I try to join EH/TC meetings, but sometimes I am unable to do this. Mail me, or my Command Attaché with any questions or simply join #tac and ask your question there. I am sure someone will be able to answer it.
