Tempest Weekly Report

I know this is a repeat, but I think we are in the same situation. The Tie Corps site is up again, but it seems that not all is functional yet and we are not to use it until there is an official announcement.
An update
21:40 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Well, looks like the site is back on the air...sorta. In relation to the database, the only thing we lost was the uniforms. This was because I tried 3 times to export them and they just wouldn't play the game. Since the uniforms weren't a critical aspect of the site, I decided to not bother with them. All other information should be intact. In addition to this, along the way, the designation of the index/identity fields seemed to have disappeared. Index/ID fields are those which contain a unique value. Your PIN is an example of this. Right now I'm going through by hand, resetting this on all the tables. The uniform uploading aspect of the site works and I'm assuming the BSF system will work, but DON'T USE IT YET. Just because you can read this page, that doesn't mean the damn site is working. :P When it's done, I'll post a news item saying it's done.

"Topic is 'Don't use the damn TC site >:P - I find anyone using the site, I HCI them for disobeying an order. And I'm totally serious'
*** Set by Astatine` on Sat Oct 12 12:25:45" I think he means business.

If anyone sees Shak, tell him we have a treat for him if he checks in with someone.

The Exercise Cantina Run fiction contest is a simple one. Write 500 words (it took me about 15 minutes) of fiction that has something to do with ECR. It can be something like a mission to get some cookies for the COM or story of actually visiting a cantina. Whatever, just write something. It is due one week after the TC site is up and fully (?) functional. I will let you know when it is almost due.

I had to throw this report at everyone a little because I will be out of town this weekend.

-OK, really this time fly something. I don't think I can give a good standard EH type bribe, so how about I buy the winner of this mission (LL-scoring comp scoring) an EH T-shirt. http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/store.aspx?s=emperor. The deadline for mission submission is Monday October 28th 8:00pm PST(US-CA) So here is the mission TC 199. It seems that none of use have flown it. It looks like a good plot. We shall see if it is a good fly too.
