Wing X WC Report #9 - January 23, '05
-===Intro===-
Argh! I had my entire report done...clicked "send." Got some error
message about timing out or something. Stupid webmail. Argh! Now doing
it over...
On a more cheerful note...eh, I'm spent. Maybe it gets better from
here, so keep reading. :P
-===Wing News===-
* Everyone welcome COL Domi who (re)joins Typhoon and the Challenge
after a long stint in the RSV's. Welcome back!
* For those who don't know, there's a TCCOM's Own comp out right now.
Essentially, whichever Wing does best in the comp (mainly a flying
one) will win the TCCOM's Own award. Full details, rules, etc., etc.,
are at http://sco.emperorshammer.net/casino/
* Squadron mailing lists can be requested. If you're a CMDR, check
your email for the email I sent earlier last week about it.
* Cyric wants each Squadron to choose an official color for your
squads. When you get one, email your choice to Stuart (he'd like the
HTML color code for it too, if possible).
* Currently, there is one FL vacancy on the Challenge, Thunder 2-1. If
you're interested, see the CMDR of said Squadron.
* If you've been doing activity like SWG or Freeworlds, make sure you
let your CMDR's know!
-===TC News===-
* New XWA battle. Nothing else of interest. Deal.

-===Competitions==-
1. Off The Record! You are a journalist assigned the task of writing
an article about the recent appointment of Ast to FC. The article has
to be related to the event in some way. Submissions go to
xo@emperorshammer.org, subject line of "Off the Record." Deadline is
Jan. 31. If interested, I highly encourage you to take a look at the
full details, at http://www.ehtiecorps.org/xo/comps/offtherecord.htm
2. Boss the COM around! An unofficial comp, but if you can get a total
of 5 wing members to "sign" a "petition" to get Stuart to do a certain
activity (IE, fly 10 battles, create a battle, make up 40 trivia
questions, etc.), he'll do it!
3. Wing X Propaganda Comp! The Challenge site (
http://isdchallenge.tcbg.net/ ) has a link for "About," where
prospective pilots can read the History of the Challenge. Currently,
it's blank, with the filler text and graphic that was put up when the
site was created. For this comp, you are to write a form of Propaganda
to be put on this page. In under 500 words, write something that will
convince prospective drunken Wing X-ers to join up! Winner will
receive a IS-SR, and their piece will be used on the site. Runner up
gets a IS-BR. Any questions, feel free to ask 'em. Submissions go to
me at coranel@isdchallenge.tcbg.net, while CC'ing your CMDR. Comp runs
all month long. Got till Jan. 31 to get them in!
4. New TCBG Banner comp. The TCBG has had the same banner for quite
some time, and needs something new. Members of the TCBGs will have a
week to create a new banner for the battlegroup. The winning banner
will earn an IS-GR and be uploaded to the database.IS-GR to first
place, IS-SR to second, IS-BR to third. Submissions go
to Bubba, with a CC to your CMDR's.

*Yes. New section here. Basically, it's to help me (and you...?) keep
track of who's doing the reports and stuff. Good times. Don't yell at
me.
-===Conclusion===-
There's a new SW game coming out. Some details are in the new SW game
type thread on the EH forum. Looks a lot (to me) like a sequel, or
prequel as the case may be, to SW: Rebellion. I foresee a lot of late
nights playing the game, both SP and MP. When it comes out. Fall '05!
