Weekly Wing II report #17

"Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." - Harry Anderson

<Salute>

Greetings,

welcome to another edition of the wing report.

AS already pointed out in a previous mail: teh "pilot vs command" winners:

TIE-CAB#3

LC Tempest - 292,359
CM Moagim Daar - 198,567

XvT-TC#94

LC Zeth Durron - 218,376

XWA-TC#43

LC Zeth Durron - 147,431
CPT Granite - 103,092

The Iron Stars were all requested & already awarded. Gratulations to the winners again.

I finally received all MSEs (again a little late - guess I need to slap a few CMDRs here >:P
Nevertheless I`m at the MWE right now.

Anyway, last week mainly saw e-group spamming. Yahoo claims it was the month with the most traffic for the Wing in 2005 so far - thanks to Jon & Tempest =P
Next to spamming the e-group the wing personnel was busy helping the Sovereign in the SP part of the IMP Storm, Jon & Ninj even helped Stele in the planning phase of the last MP fight - there is only one word to describe the situation: PWNED!!
Reports indicate that the ATF personnel was pi$$ed about what happened for a few days. Good job guys, as it looks the SOV will win the IS once again.

I need a graphics person to supply one, some or all of the following:

* New template for the EH domain
* New template for the TC site
* Components for the new TC uniform system (can be just rank badges, medals or more)

If you're interested, post a reply. - Astatine

Imperial Storm - Battle for Korriban Results
12:06 - HA Priyum Patel

DeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDead

After a fierce struggle over the azure skies of Korriban, the Sovereign team has emerged victorious! Decimating the ATF's first wave, they forced their opposing team into a swift retreat, inflicting minor damage on the fleeing ships while securing their position in orbit. This means that the Sovereign team will now have captured the planet at the end of Turn 5.

However, thanks to their Single Player results, the ATF team has managed to save enough points to ensure that a TIE Advanced squadron was saved from the onslaught. Well done to the ATF Pilots. The full details of the losses inflicted on both sides can be seen on the War Office site.

I thought I'd release some statistics from the war game so far:

Number of TIE SP submissions: 50 (who said TIE was dead?)
Number of XvT SP submissions: 34
Number of Battles: 3 (Ryloth, Mon Calamari & Korriban)
Number of participating MP Pilots: 14
Number of losses: M/FRG (x1), E/S (x2), ATR (x7), FRG (x1), TRN (x1), CRCK (x1), DREAD (x2), STRCK (x2), VSD (x2), T/F (x24), T/B (x36), T/A (x87), T/D (x97)

War is expensive.

AES Squadron CMDR Sought
06:49 - SA Cyric

VA Gidda has decided to start accepting applications for the position of Avenger Squadron Commander from now in order to avoid a lack of leadership in the ASF Elite squadron when GN Nightmare will transfer to Reserves at the end of this month.
Candidates must have passed the SM/3 course (preferred: MP and AMP). They must know very well the multiplayer aspects of XvT and/or XWA and of course they must be active multiplayer pilots themselves. Other than that it is required a fast email response time, the ability to work with other ASF Officers for the creation of multiplayer events and no HCI convictions whatsoever in your record.
If you met those requirements and if you think to be the right person for the job send your application to BGCOM Gidda including a brief list of activities you would run as new AES CMDR.

[TO] Edumacation Competition Ends Monday!
15:01 - AD Stuart
You still have 2 days (until late monday) to earn up to an IS-GR!!

Once per week, I will be choosing an IWATS course, ANYONE who completes that IWATS Course during that specific week will get an IS-BR. (This means if you can figure out week 4 and don't have it and pass the course you get a medal!)

Also, if you complete at least 2 of 4 IWATS courses selected every 4 weeks at any point during the 4 weeks, you will get an IS-SR in addition to any IS-BRs you may have obtained from completing a course in the appropriate week.

Anyone who completes all 4 IWATS courses at any point during the 4 week period will receive an IS-GR in addition to any IS-BRs obtained from completing a course in the appropriate week.

IWATS courses can be taken at
http://www.imperialacademy.org
TO Reports can be found here:
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/reports/default.asp?commandstaffid=6

#####HINTs:#####
-No weeks will be CORE or OPT
-No weeks will be courses without professors
-Week 1 was based on a TC Platform
-Week 2 will be in the 'general' category
-Week 3 will be a course that is about to be closed
Week 3 needs some further elaboration. In preparation for the newest course MCBS mission creation courses /2 are being phased out. Check out all the mission creation courses to try and find one that hasn't been phased out yet!
-Week 4 this one is a nasty communication device that is primarily used on UNIX

Medals So far: (medals are awarded at the end of the 4 week period)
Week 1 : 2 IS-BRs
Week 2 : 3 IS-BRs
Week 3: 2 IS-BRs 1 IS-SR

Temporary Freeworlds Forums
12:37 - HA Priyum Patel

Following some accounting problems with the host Brinkster (a good reason not to use them), the Freeworlds forums have gone down. However, Gumba has set up some temporary ones: http://gs.kurbaga.com/

You will have to register again but unlike the other forums, it's pretty much instant. If anyone has any information from the old forums saved - particularly user lists for the EH, please email me.
