Greetings all, take a seat and listern up to this
weeks Hey Squadron report.

SQUADRON NEWS
------------------------------------------------

- The new XWA league starts on the 6th January, so get
ready to fly for the comp. I want a good turnout for
this comp as we have a good chance of winning.

- LT Tvan'Oris was promoted to a LCM for his constant
dedication to the squadron, and for the fact that he
leads the Hey squadron FCHG rankings by a long way.
Congrats Tvan'Oris.

- All of the old Hey squadron reports are now online,
and this one will now be online by the time you read
this.

- There was a squadron and wing meeting at 6pm GMT
yesterday, but there was a very poor turnout, despite
the mail I sent earlier in the day. Please could
everyone tell me asap what time suits them for a wing
meeting next week.

- All the old Wing III reports are now on line an the
TC.org domain, so go and read them if you are
interested in old Wing III events.

- Wing III comp. The deadline for this is 28th of
December, and despite the fact that I've already sent
this out in a Wing report from Sas, I'm putting the
details down here again.
Please compete in any of the catagories that you can.


THE WING III CHRISTMAS BASH!!!

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
receive 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 ...
