Competitions
Wolfpack Recruitment Comp III
Deadline: December 7th, 2003
URL: http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=992
Description: IS-SR to the top recruiter for the month, IS-BR to the runner-up. Recruits must come to this wing, make sure that they request it.

Crusader Easter Egg Hunt
Deadline: December 31st, 2003
URL: http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=994
Description: As some people know by now, my (Vladet Xavier's) last few reports have had some kind of 'easter egg': something that is hidden and can be found/unlocked (i.e. a hidden link to a certain picture, something extra added to an ID line, fake links, etc). The first pilot to discover and e-mail me the easter egg will receive an IS-BR for their efforts.

"How long will Gilad last?" Comp
Deadline: February 4th, 2004
URL: http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=781
Description: As our last 4 Wing Commanders have lasted less than the 4 month minimum, we are going to guess on how long our new WC MAJ Gilad will last in the position. Guesses will be sent to MAJ Choosh (mchenry@jefnet.com), who will award a IS-BR to the closest guess. If Gilad is still WC past 2/04/04 (end date) He will get the medal.

Wolfpack Iron Star Competitions:
FCHG Comp- For the pilot who gains the most FCHG Points in a month
CR Comp- For the pilot who gains the most CR Points in a month

GW Top Gun Pilot Competition
Deadline: 11/7/2003 (Extended)
Description: Pilots are to fly a mission each week as selected by the comp coordinators. Competition is to run for an approximate total of 8 weeks. Medals are to be issued after each round to the winners and runners up. During each week, pilots who participate will gain points towards the end of the comp. At the end of the competition a final tally of all points will be assessed and the overall winners (1st and 2nd places) will be issued their respected medals. A rules section and awards web page will be posted by the comp coordinator at the Odin squadron website. (comp was previously drafted by me and reviewed by the Ships COM and BGCOM and given the okay)

Wing Commander's Forum
It's that time of the month again, that's right CMDR's your MSEs are due tomorrow. The faster you get them to me the faster I get them done. I'm hoping to see some good activity in these MSEs. Which brings me to my next subject:

What you see above is something we should all hold as holy. It's the Banner for the Tie Corps Commander's Own. Admiral Cyric has been taking some heat for this mainly stemming from our low participation in the Three Wing Brawl Competition. I'm not asking you to fly your asses off, just prove our discreditors wrong! This week activity was almost to 25%, I'm pretty happy with this. MP activity is hovering rather low, one step at a time. I flew a couple of battles this week, maybe next week I'll hit up some MP action. 13 pilots to a full wing, I'm confident we can do it! Look for a new comp to be coming soon, hopefully it will be approved before Monday. It should mean easy ISes for you guys. Anyway, keep up the good work and show the rest of the Tie Corps how we earned this title! Wohoo! This one made it out before midnight! Long Live the Empire, Long Live the Grey Wolf and Go Chiefs!

Cordially Submitted,
Lieutenant Colonel Gilad Pelleaeon
