WING VIII REPORT
20th January 2003


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


There'a slightly more to report this week, so here goes.

After a slight delay is done a big update to the New Wing Website, so big infact that i've decided that's it's not the New Wing Website anymore, but just the Wing Website. Confused?

http://www.isdcolossus.com/wc

Is now the only URL you need. Of course some stuff is missing, but i'll get around to that soon.

Last week saw the end of the latest Top Gun round, and it produced quite a few changes. The main one of course is that Atmos and Eta have taken over the respective No.1 spots. Atmos is now the third pilot to have made it to number 1, and we've only had 6 rounds. In addition we have a number of 'Rookie' pilots occupying top ten places, which goes to show that anybody can have some success in this comp.

Just set yourself a target, such as breaking into the top ten, and go fly. It's only a free mission this time around, and it the participation improves then i'll stick to free's. You'll not only be helping yourself, but also your squad. Remember, your points could just help push your squad into 1st place. The fact that Atmos leads Ardeth by just 2 points, and Eta lead Pi by 32 shows just how close it can be.

Remember, flying 25 missions in a week (sunday midnight GMT) gets you a ISM, 45 a PC and 80 a BS.
This info and lots of other related things can now be found in the Wing VIII Basics section of the Wing Website.

Lastly i'd like to welcome a new pilot to Wing VIII, Tyr Kenaz, who recently joined Omicron and has already made LT.

Reporting of Violations
18:44 - FA Brad [bafordham@earthlink.net]
Remember to use the chain of command first when reporting complaints. Almost 2/3 of the time complaints are better handled by your superior officers. They can get them resolved faster since I have a large number of complaints and each of mine needs thorough investigations as I send people to the High Court of Inquisitors if I find them suspect. Also, do not send an entire log file of the channel. Including some of the log before incidents happened helps, but I do not need to see logs of several months before (or after) a violation.

Skipping missions!
07:35 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
Recently, I've noticed that many pilots are skipping missions and submit battles to their CMDR. Also, CMDR process BSFs even when plt file shows missions has been skipped. Hear now, loud and clear: This is not allowed.
Skipping missions is not considered cheating however, battles will be removed from your profile.
All battles are playable. If you have problem with patches, contact SCO Ender mBind.
