TIE Corps in Battle Season Nine

One battle each from TIE, XvT, XWA and TFTC will be assigned monthly. Pilots will fly the battles and submit their pilot files through the database normally. Rounds in Season Nine will run for one month each starting from mid-month to put TCiB on a slightly different schedule from most competitions. For example, the first round is starting on the 15th of January and will end at 23:59 on the 15th of February. The pilot with the highest score each month in each platform will earn 9 points. The next highest score will earn 8, then 7, and so on. All submissions will earn at least 2 points. Any mission high scores will earn 1 bonus point and any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points. High scores are evaluated in the order the pilot files were submitted, but both pilots will receive the bonus points if a processed high score is overtaken later by another pilot. Points will accumulate for the season for more awards and the overall top pilot will also receive the title TIE Corps Battlemaster - Season Nine. The points earned by each pilot will also be added to their squadron's total and their battlegroup's total. At the end of the season, the participants from top three squadrons and the top battlegroup earn awards. Round One Assignments Deadline: 23:59 February 15th UTC TIE: TIE-TC 96: Deep Strike XvT: XvT-TC 48: Bravo Company: Training XWA: XWA-IW 1: Abyssi Ianua - Gates to Hell TFTC: TFTC-TC 14: Race Through Time Round Two Assignments Deadline: 23:59 March 15th UTC TIE: TIE-TC 220: Engineers Of The Fleet XvT: XvT-TC 102: Wing VIII: Shadow of Time XWA: XWA-IW 3: Rion's Shadow Campaign: Seeds of Corruption TFTC: TFTC-TC 15: Liberation of the Rift

Recon Office Presents- Rally the Troops

From January 1st through the end of March participating pilots are to produce a social media post praising, promoting or discussing Emperor’s Hammer, and/or any of its subgroups, with the goal of receiving the most positive feedback on the post as possible. It can be made to any social media platform but Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter/X are the platforms we already have a presence on, so those are recommended. Emoji reactions (this includes likes, hearts and thumbs up) are worth 1 point each. Comments are worth 2 points each. Shares are worth 3 points each. (Twitter/X is the only recommended platform that tracks reposts. It's included here because my goal is to help spread the word of EH more organically than official posts can. The added benefit of shares is such that it warrants inclusion despite it only applying to mainly one platform. If you can prove a repost with screenshots, including a tag, you'llbe awarded 3 points.) The post with the most points wins. Please remember to keep your post PG-13, follow our Code of Conduct and do not divulge the personal information of any pilot, including discord screen names, without that person's expressed and written consent. Yes, written consent. So be careful of any screenshots on discord you may incorporate. Screenshots are to be DMed or emailed to me. My email is ehmastondane@gmail.com but discord is preferred. You may enter as many times as you like but only one post will be your submission. *You may edit out any personal information displayed in your submission.
