Introduction
Yesterday was a good day. We got a new pilot, GM returned, Rollins was promoted, England won 5-1, Poland won 3-0, I saw nearly everyone on IRC and my change of course at University was confirmed. Let's hope today will be good too, as the WC's Own results are to be released.
The next couple of weeks should be exciting too. I'm arranging a squadron competition to start on Monday, Gunman will be starting some Flight III competitions, there are a ton of new XWA battles and missions to fly, the BG monthly awards will be handed out (please be us!!!), a new Phantom CMDR will be decided on and more international football matches on the way!
You may notice that most of this news has been ripped off from the mail I sent yesterday :o)
New Pilot
Please welcome SL Nuno to Phantom Squadron!!! Let's hope he turns out as good as everyone else in this squadron.
Return of CPT Gunman
Welcome back to CPT Gunman!!! He has retaken his place as Flight III's FL to kick some ass in Flight competitions. This brings our roster to a full 12 pilots. Has that ever been done before? I know we once had 11 pilots, but I think this is a new record.
Rollins Promoted To LCM
Congratulations to Rollins for being promoted to LCM!!! It is very well deserved.
CMDR E-mail Change
My e-mail is now officially werdna_elbee@hotmail.com so all pilot files and stuff go there.
New Executive Orders
14:15 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
New Executive Orders (#4 and #5) have been posted on the
Executive Office site at http://www.kawolski.com
which will affect members who have been convicted by the High Court or are
currently on trial.
IWATS AIM Course Released
04:09 - HA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Thanks to the efforts of CPT
Darknyte, there is now an IWATS course about the AOL Instant Messenger
program. You can check it out at http://www.imperialacademy.org/aim/.
New Tactical Officer
23:10 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
With the resignation of Fleet Admiral StarLion to be CA:TAC, Fleet
Admiral Striker has returned to be the Tactical Officer once again!
Sovereign Commodore resigns
00:41 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
After four years and an a month, Fleet
Admiral Kramer has chosen to hang up his Sovereign Commodore uniform.
As FA Kramer writes:
I resign my position as Sovereign Commodore effective immediately.
That may have been the hardest thing I've ever had to write. I've been in charge of the Flagship for four years, and loved every minute of it. I've made some fantastic friends, seen some amazing things, and I thank all of you for the great times I've had. I still love the Sovereign and the Empire as much as I ever have, however my time constraints in "real life" are such that I can no longer devote the time to one of my favorite pastimes.
I would like to thank everyone who has meant something to me, but I'd forget somebody important and I just don't want to do that. Thank you all . . .
He'll be greatly missed. Kramer is a great friend to myself and was an excellent Commodore.
New battle submissions ban
00:59 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
The Tactical Office will not accept new free mission or battle
submission until further notice. *Updated* versions from authors are accepted
though. This decision is made for two reasons:
Reminder on mission skipping
06:12 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
Mission skipping is only allowed if a bug prevents you to
complete a mission. It is strictly forbidden to skip a mission just in order
to complete more easily the battle if no fatal bug is present in this mission.
Even in XWA where skipping a mission is an ingame option, only use it in case
of bugs. If you encounter a fatal bug and skip a mission, tell your CMDR when
submitting the pilot file. CMDRs, please state then the mission has been
skipped because of a bug; a bug report MUST also be filled by the pilot.
Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the BSF, the played battle
being then removed from the pilot profile. The aim of this rule, part of the
TC Cheating Policy since it exists, is to prevent people from gaining easy
FCHG points in skipping missions without reason (FCHG points are awarded for
the whole battle, even if you skipped a mission) whereas some pilots would
take time to complete all missions. Fairness...:-)
New released battles
06:06 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
All the battles and corrections announced in the last report
of Fleet Admiral StarLion have been uploaded and added to the database...happy
flying ! I would recommend you TC-XWA
Battle 17 but you would see I have no shame, as I made it :P
TC-XWA #16,
"Immortalized"
TC-XWA #17, "Secrets and Lies, Part I: The Exile"
TC-XWA #18, "History of the ISD Relentless"
FXWA #27, "Rescue
Praetorian"
FXWA #28, "Rain Down Retribution"
FXWA #29, "Operation Take-Down"
FXWA #30, "Capture the M/FRG Hound"
FXWA #31, "Capture Corvette Group"
FXWA #32, "Attack on the SSD Avenger"
Orders
- If you want to play multiplayer XWA, then get stuck into Imp Storm II
- Attend IRC as often as possible. Remember that as well as #emperor's_hammer and #tiecorps, there is also an #ISD_Immortal room. If you need any help getting on IRC and using mIRC (or whatever) mail me.
- Post on the Phantom Message Board more often. It can be found in the Squadron Forums on http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/
- Recruit!!! If I can do it, ANYONE can!!!
- Give me some BSFs to do. If there are
any missions you haven't flown, then get flying. If you've completed them
already, then why not go for the highscores as they may be useful in a
future competition.
Nearly everyone should have longer reports, as I had trouble doing BSFs yesterday. Just expect them to be really long next week!
CMDR/CPT Werdna Elbee (69):
31/08/01 - Changed e-mail address to werdna_elbee@hotmail.com
Comments: This week I've been doing a bit more work on EHVOGUE, updated
the squadron website, and posted on the mailing lists and message boards. I've
been on IRC quite a lot too.
FM/LCM Jari (113):
No recordable activity
Comments: This record isn't really correct. Jari flew for the WC's Own
competition but I haven't BSFed it yet as I'm having trouble with the TC.org
database. I'll probably get it done today. Jari has been posting on the mailing
lists and message boards too.
FM/LT Nekura (57):
No recordable activity
Comments: Nothing fro Nekura again this week. It probably because of RL
work, but I was disappointed with the lack of a competition entry.
FM/SL Nuno (57):
01/09/01 - Joined Phantom Squadron
Comments: N/A
FL/LCM Mark (144):
29/08/01 - Flew FREE-XWA #12 for comp (+6)
Comments: Mark should have a couple more battles complete on this
report, but with my database trouble you'll read about them in the next report.
Mark has been sighted in IRC rather a lot this week, and has a good presence
communicating on the other mediums.
FM/LT Bobecc (43):
27/08/01 - Flew TC-XWA #6 (+4)
28/08/01 - Flew TC-XWA #7 (+5)
30/08/01 - Awarded a CoB for completing 30 missions
31/08/01 - Wrote for squadron run-on (+2)
Comments: As well as
another good week of flying, Bobecc has been posting on all the message boards a
lot. He has got a well deserved CoB early in his TC career too, which is nice.
FM/LCM Rollins (128):
26/08/01 - Flew FREE-XWA #12 for comp (+6)
31/08/01 - Wrote for squadron run-on (+2)
01/09/01 - Promoted to LCM
Comments: While Rollins hasn't been flying
as often because of an addiction to JK, he has been seen communicating a lot,
making sure he takes part in the competition and celebrating his promotion.
FM/LT Ezop (21):
27/08/01 - Flew FREE-XWA #12 for comp (+6)
29/08/01 - Flew TC-XWA #3 (+5)
01/09/01 - Flew TC-XWA #4 (+5)
Comments: After Ezop's first full week
I can say that he is doing very well. A few more battles under his belt and an
entry to the competition shows that he is a great addition to Phantom.
FL/CPT Gunman (32):
01/09/01 - Transferred from reserves back to Phantom 3-1
Comments: N/A
FM/LCM Marek (89):
27/08/01 - Flew FREE-XWA #12 for comp (+6)
27/08/01 - Flew TC-TIE #178 (+8)
Comments: Another good solid week of flying, communicating and
competing. It looks like Marek isn't having any trouble getting on the computer
anymore (let's hope I didn't tempt fate).
FM/LCM Deimos (81):
26/08/01 - Flew FREE-XWA #12 for comp (+6) with HS
26/08/01 - Flew FREE-XWA #13 (+1) with HS
Comments: This week Deimos has been focusing on keeping his high scores
for the above missions. He's done a very good job of it too. I've also chatted
to him on IRC, and seen him posting on the mailing lists.
FM/CM Spearhawk (164):
01/09/01 - Moved to Phantom 3-4
Comments: With a lot of XWA battles released this week it looks like
Spearhawk's betatesting labours were well used. Not too much general activity
this week, but he's still be communicating as if he has an addiction to
typing.
