RA Joey C reporting in for the Communist Office - "I think that was supposed to be Communications Office."

7/1/2005

Third week on the job now, and so far nothing has blown up or gone wrong. This week was mostly about maintainence of the boards and ops lists on IRC. However I did indulge myself in the latest craze sweeping through the Fleet, courtesy of the Freeworlds crew - Teamspeak. It can be found here:

Some of the EH members who use Teamspeak often include myself, Avenger CMDR Nightmare, and Kysar Revan. Some of you might already be familiar with Teamspeak. For those who aren't. all that is needed is a microphone, a fairly quick connection, and of course a quick wit to keep up with the humour. So go, try it out, and be amazed at the Southern accents. I know I am...

FLEET NEWS

- The new TAC is running several competitions for all mission designers. I reccomend taking part. Making a battle is a lot more satisfying. And you get nifty medals for it too.

- The Commendations of Loyalty are once again on the agenda, as we approach that famous time in January. OPS Alex Foley has posted the rules and regulations for the awarding of the CoL's up in several places. I myself will be receiving the coveted "Commendation of Misplaced Loyalty" which will be hammered into my skull.

- The position of Training Officer is now open to applications. This position demands a very good ability of hosting huge competitions, so be sure you are up to the challenge before applying.

COMM NEWS

- I am still getting people coming to me with surprise on their faces saying, "There are new Message Boards?!" It's not my fault if you can't read the TC News page, or my reports. >:-P

- The COMM Office Quotes page has changed location! It can now be found at:

http://147.10.81.142/comm

This site allows you to add your own quotes, although just to be safe you must put your name and PIN when you submit, so if you screw up, I can suppress you good. Many thanks to TIMMAY for both making and hosting this much improved page. Be sure to expect something nifty in the mail... like a cookie.

NOTE: IF YOU WANT YOUR QUOTES TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE WEEKLY PRIZE, YOU STILL MUST E-MAIL THEM TO ME.

- The Corporate Division and the Communications Office will soon be teaming up to handle a new Trivia Questions project. Remain vaguely alert for this.

WEEKLY QUOTE WINNER

Had an awesome number of submissions this week, which makes me feel special inside. All quote submissions will be placed on the quotes page as soon as I finish this report.

And now time for this week's "Quote of the Week". And the winner is...Khadgar!, with this submission:

(COL_Ricaud) Interesting. I wonder if walking around in public with an "Emperor's Hammer" t-shirt would increase my chances of being beaten up/derided by small children?"
(COL_Kessler) It couldn't make your chances much worse.

Kessler and Ricaud. What a blast from the past. :P
