Hello and welcome. Well, actually, I take that back. You're not
welcome. I hate writing reports and I ran out of double-stuffed Oreo's to dip
in my pina calata. I am not a happy bunny.
SQUADRON NEWS:
My AWOL check is almost done. If I don't get some responses soon, I'll
be AWOLing about 3 people. Maybe this is good, so we can get better on our
next CRR by having just a couple, active people.
We finished our CRR. We got a CRT of ZERO! Not good. Those that
actually flew were:
CMDR/CM Jaster Sadista
FM/LT Mynock
FL/LCM Mayk Wolverine
FM/LCM Yun
Those that did not fly are:
FM/LT Scoser
FM/LT August Gladius
FM/LT Matt Dabbs
FL/LCM Nurel Turr
FM/SL Seth Lionheart
FM/SL Hexen
Now, Turr has a good reason, but I doubt anyone else does. I'm proud of those
that flew. Those that didn't....grrrrr. Most of you may be AWOLed soon
anyway, so odds are we'll do much better on our next CRR.
Let's not forget about the Wing III Christmas Bash! Fly any missions,
make some missions, write fiction, or do the scavenger hunt! More details
below:
<
Ah, it's that time of year again! Christmas carols play over the Sov's PA
system, the Rebels are easier to shoot down because they're even more
intoxicated on EggNog than usual, and Frank's handing out candy canes BEFORE
he beats people senseless. It must be the holidays! And we're gonna celebrate
with a Wing-wide comp that lasts all month! You should have PLENTY of time to
participate in at LEAST one division (hint, hint).
The Christmas Bash will pit each W3 squad against the others. Certain
activites will gain your squad a certain amount of points, and the squad with
the most points at the end of the competition wins. Simple, right? Here are
the catagories :
FLIGHT
------------
This one is very simple. Starting right now, each FCHG point earned is
worth one point for your squad in the Christmas Bash. Flying 5 free missions
will gain 5 points for your squad, etc etc.
FICTION
-------------
Creating a good piece of fiction is considerably harder than flying
missions, and is worth more points. Each fiction submission must be at LEAST
300+ words, and MUST contain a plot that involves 1) The Emperor's Hammer
(Preferrably Wing III), and 2) Christmas. Remember, you are not limited to
the traditional story form of fiction. Feel free to write a haiku, poem,
parody, etc etc. Each piece of fiction that meets these requirements will get
your squad 30 points, which means you can get as much points as you would by
flying 30 different missions.
INTERNET SCAVANGER HUNT
-----------------------------------------------
This is a new catagory that I think you guys will have fun with. Below
you will find a list ... you must search for these items on the internet,
then send me an e-mail in which you give a URL where the items can be found.
Submissions will be judged according to SPEED and QUALITY ... you may get it
in first, but if you send in URLs for a bunch of thumbnail picks, you
probably won't win. Without further delay, here are the items to be searching
for :
Picture of Santa Claus / Father Christmas (1-5 pts.)
Tech readout on an Eclipse class Super Star Destroyer (1-5 pts.)
Lyrics for a Christmas Carol (1-5 pts.)
A screen shot from the Star Wars Christmas Special (1-10 pts.)
A track listing of "Christmas in the Stars : The Star Wars Christmas Album"
(1-10 pts.)
Lyrics for a Christmas Carol parody that somehow involves Star Wars (1-20
pts.)
Bonus Item :
Picture of eight tiny reindeer pulling an ISD
or
Picture of Santa Claus punching C-3P0 in the face (1-30 pts.) -- Hint : Be
creative ...
Find as many of the above as you can! You do not need to find them all
for a submission ... however, the more you find, the more points you score.
Remember to DOUBLE CHECK each of your URLs before you send them in. I should
be able to click on them and be brought right to the item you were searching
for. Good luck!
MISSION CREATION
-------------------------------
The last and toughest catagory is also the one where you can earn the
most points for your squadron. Your objective is simple : create a Free
Mission that involves both 1)The Emperor's Hammer (preferrably Wing III), and
2) Christmas. Be creative with the storyline! Perhaps Santa's transport has
been disabled by Rebel scum before he could deliver all of this years holiday
booze to the Sovereign ... remember, seriousness is not required. Making a
holiday free mission will get 60 points for your squadron, which is the
equivilent of flying 60 missions or writing two pieces of fiction.
AWARDS
---------------
It's the holidays, and I'm feeling generous. But don't get too
comfortable, you'll still have to participate and win to get any medals. Here
is how the awards will work :
The squadron with the most points at the end of the competition is the
overall winning squad. Each member of the squad WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE
COMPETITION will recieve an Imperial Security Medal.
The pilot who earns the most FCHG points in December is the winner of the
Flight catagory, and will be awarded a Palpatine's Crescent.
The fiction will be judged by a panel of Sov personnel. The winner will
recieve a PC.
The pilot with the most points in the Scavanger Hunt will be awarded a
PC.
Any missions created will be flown by me, and (possibly) a smaller panel
of Sov personnel (I'd like to get the winner announced before 2001). The
mission that is judged to be the most original and fun will earn a PC for
it's creator.
Send all of your submissions to me, and DO NOT FORGET to CC your CMDR as
well. CMDRs, BSF pilot files as you normally would, I will keep track of FCHG
points via Tactical Office confirmation e-mails.
The deadline is December 28th, which should give everyone PLENTY of time
to participate in at least one area of the competition. But I highly
encourage you to be active in several areas!!!
So, that's just about everything you need to know! Remember, it's every
squad for themself! And keep in mind that, even if your squad wins the
over-all competition, you will NOT get a medal unless you participated in
some way ...>>
I know I sent this out before, but I REALLY want us to do well! Let's
make up for our sucky CRR! :)

ACTIVITY:
I must reluctently report that there has been NO activity this week.
None. Nien.
This is not good. I'll admit that I haven't been the most active
person around, buit I haven't gotton ONE pilot file in over a week! Bah! I'm
hoping that this Christmas Bash and it's heap of medals will get people
active....
In an attempt to get SOME activity, I'm going to propose a question
that I hope most people will naswer, and maybe even debate:
If you could be a member of the CS, which position would you
want and why?
Personally, I've always wnated to be OPS. I love medals, and the
whole uniform thing is niffty. Now it's your turn :)
Until next week I continue to remain....
