- [ CMDR/CM Ras Kronar reporting in for Psi Squadron on Nov. 17th, 2003 ] -


- Random Fact/Thought/Quote of the Week: Wimminz... You can't live with 'em... You can't live without 'em... How exactly CAN you live?

Banzai!

Well the competition with Omicron is a go! You'll have 2 weeks (until Nov. 30th) to fly TIE-Free 237. Your objective here is to get as high a score as possible! Top 5 submission will be counted toward the total score for Psi so rack up those points! As soon as you've flown it mail the squadron with some tips on how to get the highest score possible. We want to work together on this one and kick Omicron's butt. ;)
Send your submission to me. The squadron's honour is on stake here! Let's show the fleet what Psi's made off! Naturally this competition has top priority.

About 2 weeks left on the beer cup. Proton will have your heads if you don't fly for this! Get started early cause TC 211 is really annoying on hard. ;)

ISIV ended with a win for the Sov... SP submission were used to determine the result and after that we moved to Aurora for a minor victory! Congratumalitions to everyone and a big thanks to the Sov's tactical team! Here's to a whine-free ISV! *raises his glass*

Well I've had a very interesting weekend... Wimminz are great! (sometimes). That's why the report was a day late since far too much was happening. Anyways get in those TIEs and fly!

Until next week, this is CM Ras Kronar saying: Home is where your milk is.

6) TCCOM'S Own Banner competition

New Tie Corps Commanders Own Banner design. Contestants have one month (November 25th) to submit their banners. FA Cyric will judge the best banners, and pick the top three for awards.
Use "TCCOM OWN BANNER SUBMISSION" in the header of the e-mail or your submission will not be accepted. Send your submission to Cyric (jroscoe@comcast.net) and Reaper (Paul.reeves99@ntlworld.com)


7) Design the XO Site

From SA Astatine:
The current XO site isn't very good and hasn't been updated for a while. By the nature of the office, the XO site should be a nexus for some very important information within the EH. To address this, I'll need a new design, as the current one (at http://www.emperorshammer.net/xo/) is pretty basic.

The basis of the competition will be to design a "template" for the site, which should include graphics, menu elements, etc. The menu items on the current site can be used as a guide for the template. Everything else is left to your creative whims. Final submissions can either be hosted online, with the URL emailed to me (jpboyce@indigo.net.au), or the files themselves can be emailed to me. Submissions close on 30th November. The competition is open to all EH members. First place gets an Iron Star Gold Ribbon (or subgroup equivilant). Second and third, if up to scratch, will get a Iron Star Silver Ribbon and Iron Star Bronze Ribbon respectively. Submissions should be sent to xo@emperorshammer.org with the subject of "I have l33t w3b skillz".

8) ISD Vanguard Website Creation Comp

A new competition is open to everyone in the TC, the Vanguard needs a new website, design a new one and the best one chosen will recieve a IS-GR, or if quality is of such excellence a higher medal may be awarded:)
