Links Audit
21:09 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
I need an audit of all the links and content on the site to ensure they are now correct. If you're interested in doing this, send me an email with the subject "I have too much free time". Thanks.

Roster Updates

The Flight Office has completed fixing the rosters of the ASF, Avenger Squadron, the SOV BG, Omega Squadron,and the SSD Avenger.

CMDRs, WC's, and COM's of these units can now go in and change their rosters the way they wish and update website links etc.

Training Officer's Resignation
13:19 - VA Keldorn [keldorn@btopenworld.com]
Officers and Gentlemen,

I tender to you my resignation from the position of Training Officer and Dean of the Imperial Weapons and Tactics School. I also wish to relinquish the position of Minister of Education within the Imperial Senate. With the Grand Master and Executive Officer’s approval I shall retain – for the moment – the position of Headmaster of the Dark Brotherhood.

I shall not ascribe the obligatory plethora of my accomplishments. Nor will I list those Officers and members to whom I owe much during my tenure as a Command Officer; those that I wish to thank will already know.

I have come to the decision to resign because I am far too embittered and cynical to remain in a position where fresh ideas and a complete dedication to the reinvigoration of the Emperor’s Hammer is a necessity. Plays of politics; the growing tendency toward factional conflict; the inability of some Officers to identify their own weaknesses; the exploitation by others by these Officers are all factors in my desire to step down. As Training Officer I can do no more than attempt to be a voice of reason and reform. My voice is not heeded.

I am not a stupid man. Nor am I a particularly young man. I have recently completed my second Doctorate on the ‘Interpretations of Law and Moral Ethics in Modern International Politics’, I hold an unrelated Doctorate and two First Class degrees from Oxford. I am a serving member of Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force. Yet in all my life, I have yet to meet an unofficial organisation of the calibre of the Emperor’s Hammer. It has the ability to make one smile and to make one cringe. It exhilarates and infuriates. Yet, it is only a Star Wars based internet club.

I am not resigning from the Emperor’s Hammer. I simply believe – honestly – that I can no longer serve to the benefit of the membership as Training Officer. I may look for another posting where my attitudes may be more suitable. I may not.

My recommendation for my successor is not as difficult as I imagined. Obviously, it lies with my current Command Attaché, Rear Admiral Drako. A very talented graphic designer, a talented programmer, his flaws lie in a general aura of naivety found in many new commanders (and being Polish, but one must be prepared to look beyond such partisan predispositions :P). This should not influence the decision of the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer. I implore you to appoint him without hesitation. He will quickly learn what he does not already know, and I shall remain close by to assist him should he need it.

I will take the opportunity to apologise to the Executive Officer for the timing of my resignation. At a point where consistent and fair administration of the core responsibilities of the Command Officer is paramount (take a note of this, those who think themselves holier than thou) I have now shirked mine as Training Officer. This is for the reasons I have stated, and those reasons alone.

Good day to you all,

Your obedient servant, &c.,

Fleet Admiral, Dark Adept Keldorn "Mad Buck" Cochrane
Training Officer, Dean of IWATS, Headmaster & Minister of Education

XVT Week of War
13:08 - VA Khameir Sarin [khameir_sarin@yahoo.com]
XVT Week of War has begun. Help the EH finish FIRST by defeating the evil Clan BOSS! Get to your fighters!

Members with PINs greater than 11300
13:02 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
All members with Pins greater than 11300, please try to access your profiles on the TC Site. If you joined after Jan 04, chances are the DB has no record of you. If this is the case, contact your BGCOM immediately and he will inform you of what you need to do to correct the problem.

The only foreseeable issue will be that your PINs will change and probably be a lower number than you had.

Flight Office
12:23 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
I've just completed updates to the ASF and Avenger Squadron Rosters!

AD Sarin has joined the Flight Office in the capacity of my second CA:FO while still currently being the COO. His duties will be to help with the roster changes and moves for the BG's

VA Reaper will be handling newer requests as they come in to the Database

My other FOA, VA Khadgar, will still be moderating the TC meetings for the FO, and attending as my emissary the EH meeting when I can not attend.

As always we are working round the clock to get the rosters back to snuff so be patient. We will do our best to get you back your ranks and positions in the fast time possible!

Site issues topic
03:36 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
I've setup a topic on the message board for issues people have with the site. You can check it out at http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=2280.

Survey...
03:24 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
There's a survey up about the speed of the new site. Your feedback would be appreciated.

Site has returned!
00:39 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
That's right, kiddies. The TIE Corps site is back. The core functionality of the site seems to be working at this stage. We'll see how more exotic pieces shape up. Try not to break anything... In terms of making recommendations and the like with the database, please hold off until the backlogged data has been re-entered into the system.

Wing News

For all relevant news make sure you read the weekly wing report, and ensure that you enter the WC’s comps if any of you have not done so; there are plenty to choose from. The wing should be back up to date by this weekend, so hold off on any roster-related requests till then.

Squadron News
