Raise the Flag Competition News

A Raise the Flag Leaderboard website has been created for this event so go check it out! http://rtf.tsaunders.net

Week one has started strong for both the ISDII Warrior and Kappa Squadron. The warrior has a nice lead over the Hammer (over 1000 points) and Kappa was in 3rd place among the Squads.

Unfortunately the Hammer's Squad are picking up the pace and we have now slipped to 5th place . So far it's only been LT ANdural, CM Repulsor and myself earning points and that will not win the day for us. We have the potential to do well here. We may not get first (dam you Yoda) but we can and should make a strong case for second if not the lead.

So get flying and participate in the bonus competitions. to Earn us points.

Speaking of Which the Fiction Contest ending yesterday so give that a day or two to be graded and winner's announced, but the Graphics competition is already active so get working on it.

I expect a few submissions from us. Heck I might break out the crayons and submit for the participation points at least. The deadline for the GFX Comp is June 15th!

Some Questions were asked about the RtF the Reponses are:
1 - The Bonus GFX comp is for a Ship Banner
2 - YES you can submit unlimited Graphics and Fiction during the RtF for grading and points.

If you goign to do extra graphics I suggested picking a Warrior Squad that doesn't have a Banner or Flight Patch and make them one. Or just find your own thing to make and submit it.

Active Competitions -

Raise the Flag 2014 :Graphics Bonus Competition

http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=2601

Members are to create a banner as their submissions for this bonus comp. Just one submission per pilot will be allowed for the bonus competition.

The banners should be about: the TIE Corps currently opened ships.
Quality will be a criterion, but don’t refrain from submitting your hand made drawings or your paint brush things, as points will be awarded for them as well.

The idea of the picture is as important as its execution.
Graphics will be graded by the TC Admiralty. The competition’s four first places will award for their squadrons and ships 100, 75, 50 and 25 points respectively, and the graphics grades will also count towards the global Raise the Flag Competition for the pilots.

Every other participant will earn 5 points to their squadrons and ships. Deadline is June 15th.

Raise the Flag - Main Comp

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!!

***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!
