-Participate in the ISD Challenge vs CRS Fear competition! Currently we are in Part I, which includes the following phases
Phase 1: Fly FREE-TIE #182(included), FREE-XWA #76, and/or FREE-XvT #25 for the single player part of this comp. As with all Shipwide events, the SP TIE mission is mandatory for all Tempest pilots. Logan and Amadeo are excused due to being on leave and having a broken joystick respectively
Phase 2: Multiplayer matches! To be held anywhere a fight will be taken!
Phase 3: Each WC of the two participating ships will make up a list of 35 triva questions. The WC's will trade lists, and we'll have to answer the Fear's questions and they'll have to answer ours. How does our WC get good SW trivia questions? Easy! We send him some ;) I'm putting together a few killer questions, so feel free to send a few off the wall questions as well ;)
Special note about this competition... instead of awarding points to a Wing as whole, this competition awards points to a squadron. That means the comp winners will be ranked by squad, meaning we have a perfect oppertunity to show how awesome Tempest really is! So please try to do the best you can to participate in as many aspects of this comp as you can. Remember, participation is the *key* to this comp, so even if your score's bad or you lose a match, it dosen't matter, long as you try :)
This part ends August 16th, so I expected at the least the TIE files before that :)
-Our competition with Kappa Squadron will start next week, so I hope you're all gearing up to remind everyone out there how much of a quality squad we are :)
-RA Sephiroth recently asked all of us CMDRs to make sure our game platforms listed on our profiles were up to date. This is to help give him and Frey a better idea of how much we can actually participate in XvT and XWA parts of comps, so I'd really appreciate if you all could change your profiles to reflect what platforms you *can* fly on sometime this week :)
-Run-on's still stagnant, so I think Master and I are gonna write up an ending to it soon and let it rest... until the next one ;)
-Recruit! We're the biggest squad and the wing, and while we could be nice and give pilots to other squads... why would we want to do that? Be greedy and get us some more pilots for our own! :)
-Woo! Again, a bit of a quiet week, but we had a few events of notice in here :) First, I want to welcome CPT Chris McCollum to the Tactical Office. He's joined my X-Wing staff to become one of the first two Tactical Surveyors(aka Crash Dummies) for X-Wing ever :) So a big welcome to him. btw, as always if anyone's intrested in joining the TAC office as a X-Wing tester or something else, email me and I'll see if I can't hook you up :)
-In the spirit of mission design this week, big congrats to CPT Rover who's working with a quality plot on a new battle involving all the Tempestations, which I'll be giving him a small hand with :)
-LCM Prost Varsis was awarded a CoB this week for his number of FCHG points... which he should have gotten ages ago, but congratulations nevertheless :)
