Raise the Flag
http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=2593
* Raise the Flag 2014!
This competition will determine the Flagship of the TIE Corps for the next 12 months, the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron and TCCOM’s Wingman for the next 6 months. The Flagship/Escort Squadron/Wingman will be the ones who manage to acquire the highest number of points in the competition throughout the month of June. Any forms of activity presented by the pilots will grant points to their ships. Points to each activity are listed as follows:
- 1 point to each Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center (each battle/free mission in the compendium can be flown only once throughout the month for credit in the competition, not considering eventual battles selected for the bonus comp). Note that battles already flown in previous months of this year are eligible to be re-flown for points in Raise the Flag, however, they will not count towards Ace of the TC awards.
- 1 point for every LoC awarded in any COO-approved platform
- 5 points for every mission high score
- 5 points x # of missions in the battle for every battle high score
- 1-10 points will be awarded to each fiction submitted, judged by the TCCOM and SOO (TCCOM and SOO submissions will be graded by the COO and ship COMs)
- 1-5 points will be awarded to each graphic submitted, judged by the TCCOM and SOO (TCCOM and SOO submissions will be graded by the COO and ship COMs)
- 10 points for a DFC (in events taking place in June)
Bonus points:
Bonus points will be awarded only to the pilot’s ship and squadron, but regular points coming from Bonus comp activities will be awarded to the pilots regularly.
- From June 1st to 8th, a fiction competition – 100, 75, 50, 25
- From June 8th to 15th, a graphics competition – 100, 75, 50, 25
- From June 15th to 22nd, a Multiplayer competition – 200, 150, 100, 50
- From June 22nd to 30th, a Single Player competition – 200, 150, 100, 50
All other participants in the bonus competitions will have their squadrons and ships awarded 5 points for participation. Bonus competitions details will be released separately.
There will be no:
- Points for Squadron Citations earned: all squadrons and ships must get into the competition with equal conditions, and citations might be easier for one squadron to get than for another;
- FCHG/CR Rank gains points: these rank gains can be more easily achieved by one pilot than by the other, and pilots must enter the competition with equal conditions to award points
- Points for IWATS/IU Courses taken, because of the current EH system not allowing the retaking of tests.
- Points for Mission Creation: because Mission creation takes too long to be placed in a month long competition, and it would be difficult to see results.
Medals to be awarded:
- Pilot’s overall scores: IS-PW, IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW, if the majority of the pilot’s points came from flying, OR IS-PR, IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR if the majority of the pilot’s points came from non-flying activities
- Pilot’s SP points – independent from Ace of the TC competition, since the point system is different: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW
- Pilot’s MP points – independent from MP Ace of the TC competition, because of the award of points for losses during the Bonus MP competition: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW
- Pilot’s Fiction points: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- Pilot’s Graphics: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- Ship with best participation rate: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR to ship flags
- Squadron with best participation rate: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR to Squadron Commanders
- Fiction bonus comp: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- Graphics bonus comp: IS-GR, IS-SR, IS-BR
- MP bonus comp: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW
- SP bonus comp: IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW for overall three first places in the comp. Plus additional medals for winners in each platform
All disputes will be settled by the TC Admiralty.
Command Staff officers will be allowed to participate in the competition and its events.
Bonus competitions details will be placed here separately. However, stay tuned at the TC news page for announcements regarding the bonus competitions!!
* Raise the Flag 2014 – Fiction Bonus Competition Week 1
Members are to write a piece of fiction in English. The theme of the fiction is the simulated engagement between all the ships participating in Raise the Flag 2014 (ISD Hammer, ISD Warrior, ISD Challenge and VSD Aggressor), and its wings and squadrons. Before the simulation engagement started, all ships were deployed to different parts of the EH Territory, starting the competition away from each other. Under these directions, officers can write the fiction at their pleasure. There is no minimum or maximum word limit, and grammar will not be an issue, so non-English native speaking officers can participate without any fear. Fictions will be graded by the TCCOM Admiralty, Admirals Daniel Bonini, Zósite Kónstyte Styles and Crsepe. Criteria for grading will be quality of the story. Humor is welcome, but not necessarily. The four first places in this competition will be awarded for their squadrons and ships 100, 75, 50 and 25 points respectively, and the fictions grades will count towards each pilot and in the global Raise the Flag Fiction Competition. Every other participant will earn their squadrons and ships 5 points. Deadline is June 8th. First place will be awarded an IS-GR, with IS-SR and IS-BR for the second and third places.
***Note from the COO - No Custom SC Matches will be accepted for the Raise the Flag event.***
Squad to do List:
1. Participate in as many RtF events as you can we need as many points as possible!!!!
2. All member's should up load your new UNIFORMS ASAP. Someone spent a lot of time redoing them for you so please use them. This is also a Squad Requirement gentlemen. If you need help doing so please let your FL know and they will help you upload your uniform to the Database and your profile.
3. Fly Missions ... Kappa only has ZERO Citations and we need to change that!!!
4. Recruit New members – Its time to fill in our ranks and get more activity flowing! Remember MoI's are awarded for recruiting new members so go get them!
