Competitions

  • Picture comp will start as soon as I collect the pictures from the winners of the previous ones to put on the Hammer website. I suggest checking in the Egroups first. I'll get to it eventually but if you guys do it, the sooner we get to hunt for the hotties :P

  • Wing comp : These are the parts that you do this month. These parts are repeated next month with 4,5 and 6 added on (if I'm paying attention correfctly)

    • Phase 0:Ended With only Tigs and me submitted.

    • Phase 1-a: Phase 1a: Single Player Flying - Participation This is a simple version of an FCHG race. The 2 pilots who gain the most participation points (by submitting the most missions in the given time) will win 1st and 2nd place in this phase. The only restriction is that you cannot submit battles or missions you've already flown. Awards are IS-SW and IS-BW.

    • Phase 1b: Single Player Flying - Score
      Pilots will fly one XWA Battle and one XWA Free Mission. The pilot who has the highest scoring plt file for the battle will win 1st place. The highest scoring Free mission submission will win 2nd place. If the person with the battle high score also has the free mission high score, then the 2nd highest free mission scorer will receive 2nd place. The battle and mission will assigned at the begining of the competition. Awards are IS-SW and IS-BW.

    • Phase 1c: Single Player Flying - Low Score
      Pilots will fly one XWA Battle and one XWA Free mission. The pilot who submits the lowest scoring plt file for the battle will win 1st. The pilot who submits the lowest scoring plt file for the Free mission will win 2nd. If the same pilot wins for both the battle and the mission, then the 2nd lowest scoring pilot for the free mission will get 2nd place. Scores will only count as long as the mission was successfully completed and no EH rules are broken, specifically those concenring cheating. Just to clarify, the Tactical Office considers blowing up your own ships cheating when used to get higher scores. Since the object is to get lower scores, this shouldn't cause any problems. I personally have no problems with you blowing up whatever you want to get lower scores. The cheating rules I'm concerned with deal with blatant acts like editing pilot or mission files. The battle and mission will assigned at the begining of the competition. Awards are IS-SW and IS-BW.

    • Phase 2a: Multiplayer Flying - Participation
      The pilots who successfully fly the most MP matches, regardless of score, will win this category. The only requirement is that the match was completed successfuly and there was a winner announced. This will recognize those who are giving it their best, even if they don't think they can win. Matches can be made any time, not just during official TC events, just as long as both pilots submit the results to me via email. Note that you can only fly the same pilot a certain number of times. Basically once one pilot wins 2 matches, those two can no longer play one another. The maximum number of times 2 people can play one another is 3, which would mean one person wins the 1st match, the other person wins the 2nd match, and one of them wins the 3rd. Awards are IS-SW and IS-BW.

    • Phase 2b: Multiplayer Flying - Score
      The 2 pilots who have the most matches WON will win this category. This will encourage everyone to not only try to fly, but to put in the extra effort to really do a good job. Similar rules apply to 2b that are listed in 2a. You may only fly a person a maximum of three times, until you've won twice or lost twice. Scores must be submitted by both parties for full credit. Awards are IS-SW and IS-BW.

    • Phase 3: Make the WC Laugh
      This phase is sort of open ended. Pilots can submit whatever they want, providing it's appropriate and doesn't violate EH Bylaws. The only thing required is the submission has to make the WC laugh. It can be a funny picture, story, joke, movie, sound file, etc. The limits on the type of submission depends on the limits of your imagination. The WC will choose the two funniest submissions and the winners will receive an IS-SR and IS-BR respectively.

    XO's Corner

    Welcome all to another addition of Hammer's XO Report!!! Missed two weeks of these reports, i'll blame one week on exams and the other week on my own forgetfulness :P

    But anyway!!...now that the blessed summer has arrived, what better way to waste two months time than to dedicate it to the Tiecorps... :D

    Even now, there are many things you could be wasting your time doing...you could of course participate in Cray's nameless competition, recruiting for our beloved ship (Long Live The Relentless), and even posting on the message board, which seems to be popular these last few days!

    And speaking of recruitment...this just in!...Hammer has received a new member, yes people that's right..fresh right out of the oven...err the Daedalus...let us welcome Bryan Marshall to the squadron...I personally would like to thank Captain Sarn of Sword for his efforts in recruiting Bryan to our squadron, thanks Captain :P

    On a final note...remember people, be active...activity spurs medals...and you can never have too many medals! FL/CM Steve Sunrider/Hammer 2-1/Wing IX/ISD Relentless BSx2/PCx2/ISMx4/MoI/IS-1BW-1BR/LoC-IS-CS-Rx2/DFC-Rx4/CoL/CoB/OV-2E [LGNR] {IWATS-M/1/2-RT-SM/2-TT-XTT}
