Commodore's speech

Hello there pilots of the TIE Corps. Welcome to another Weekly Wally Report! If you get my drift.

This week gave me very little time to actually get stuff done. I did get my ears whacked for being late ona TAC assignment, but fortunately for me that wasn't my fault, I actually did complete the assignment on time. Yay me!

VA Plif's battle storyline competition is done. Not only did I get the Commendation of Service I was after, but I also won. It feels good, it's been a long time since I won a decent TC wide competition, and IS-GRs don't come around often. I have already started on my TAC assignment to create a battle from LCM Spiffy's storyline. I hope he likes what I make of it :)

That reminds me: there was a Telegram discussion this week about the availability of medals, an it turns out there's very few IS-PRs handed out. As in, probably aroun 1 a year or so for RtF. Next year I will set up my report competition is such a way that there will be a IS-PR available. Ok, technically speaking the Weekly Riddles also put one up for grabs, but the achievement needed to get it was perhaps a bit steep.

I do have to admit I'm kind proud of myself too: last week I won the PvE part of TIE Corps on Recon with 128,5 kills. Although most of these came from the 139 assists I had, it felt good to crush the competition :) And I don't get that many 100+ screenshots anyway. Then again - I submitted another one for this week with 125 actual kills - and that on a T3 PvE :)

INN has been reporting on irregularities aboard the COO flagship, the VSD Aggressor this week. I would like to remind all pilots of their track record with news like this: ther witch hunt against LC Clark is not yet forgotten, and I urge all pilots to take their news with a large chunk of salt until they produce some solid evidence!

Last week also saw the release of my two X-wing battles. Well, one was actually released already, but part 2 was released as part 1. That has been fixed now, thanks to the TAC.

Bad news is that while the Warrior already has its MShipE processed, I still cannot submit mine. 3 out of 4 MSEs were received, I do hope to see the last one on very short term! And yes, you know who you are!

For you Star Conflict fanatics: our Corporation has successfully collected enough iridium donations and now we're entering the final phase of the construction of our Dreadnought. Not a clue what we can do with it, but it's nice :)

Lastly - kudos to GN Coranel Both for earning himself a Distinguished Flying Cross. It's been awhile since I saw one of those!

    Commodore's Competitions

    Dempsey's Weekly Riddles

    Every week, the report will have a riddle. First pilot to send the correct answer to the mailing list wins. Each victory earns you an IS-BR. Unless it's a 5th victory, you then get a IS-SR. Unless it's a 10th victory, which gives you an IS-GR. A 25th victory will give you an IS-PR!

    This week's riddle: Before humanity discovered Mount Everest, which was the highest mountain on planet Earth?

    Last week's winner: CM Archenksov

    Current standings: RA Hawkins: 12; FA Woody: 7; LC Clark: 6; AD Pellaeon, CM Archenksov: 3; LCM Hav Antiel, CM Doc: 2; HA Bonini, GN Pickled Yoda, COL La'an, LC Tempest, MAJ Fenn, CM Jast: 1

    Wrapping up

    For me personally this was a good week: I broke 5,800 pts on the FCHG rankings, and I finally achieved a long time goal: to get at least one of each medal available in the TC. Now I can retire.

    Which I won't be doing any time soon.
