Wing News
-------------------------------------
Another quiet week onboard Colossus is over and I have a 6th feeling telling me that something big will happen rather soon, maybe even sooner then I think. So prepare your imagination, your joysticks and be ready for a test of power. Just to spice the news up a little bit and attract your attention I've to say that we have a Wing Competition coming to us and ... dum dum dum ... maybe we will engage in the brand new, never ever seen before in the Corps competition with the very interesting opponent in early January. Keep it up!

1. This week was the week of finalizing of the AWOL results when I was close examining every single “possible AWOL” case and sorting out dead from those who give hope. Mu squadron was the special case due to recent change of command and as agreed with its acting commander the AWOL consequences were not applied to this squad. However the new Mu CMDR Merlin will soon proclaim his own awol check and only then we will sort out the dead weight out of Mu (if there are any of cause).
The list of pilot that are going to the reserves was closed and secret, but now the request successfully went through the chain of command and hereby I will announce the list. I can say for now that the list is much smaller than I thought it would be. Anyway our Wing went down to 29 members (just like on Relentless) but I expect all these pilots are active. Also we must double our recruiting efforts (and thats a note to our recruiting office). Myself I'm making my third run on Daedlaus eager to attract new pilots to the Wing. Dall Star, our recruiting officer have made a nice scetch of a poster you can use for recruiting purposes. This poster can be hang out on the streets of your own town or city. Please contact Dall Star if you are interested.

The following pilots were removed from Wing VIII roster:

LT Owen (Pi)
LT Drusilla Retanyi Dajor (Pi)
LT Gold Finger (Pi)
CPT Jay Urick (Pi)
LT Rick Timmerman (Omicron)
LT Carl Joeffen (Omicron)

The end of this AWOL mark the new policy on activity in our glorious Wing. That doesn't mean you will be kicked out once you stop being active, but please be sure to drop a mail to your CMDR cc'ing myself if you feel you will not be as active as before. Communication is the key to success of the flight, squadron and even wing. The more you communicate the better your CMDR knows you and the more fun you have being in the Corps.

2. New Squadron Commander of Mu was chosen from the ranks of our own crew. Please welcome the former Wolf pack member, former Iota squadron Commander, the living nightmare of all imperial, rebel, pirate and civil fathers and mothers who have daughters, the wizard of heavy metal and rolling thunder ... ladies and gentlemen ... the one and only Captain Merlin !

Welcome to the CMDRs gang Merlin. Send your WSRs and MSEs on time and bite those bulls under your command. Return the glory to Mu and make our Wing even more stronger!

3. I repeat once again that The Battle Cry magazine has started new round of competitions. Information on comps can be found at http://battlecry.ehnet.org/battlecry9/tc-mag9.html . Currently there are two types of comps: 1. Writing competition! and 2. Flying competition! So if you feel like your uniform could use more medals on it go and participate. CMDRs please make sure your pilots know about this competition its a good and easy way to earn big awards (they give out BSs)

4. Battlegroups Colossus Ace title was mercilessly ripped away from me by the cruel Iota CMDR Lohr Zadash. It was a close combat, some 2K between us. I congratulate Lohr on his new title and will challenge him as soon as possible for a rematch.
Meanwhile I remind all personnel that anybody can challenge Lohr for Colossus Ace title once our irrepressible BGCOM Jarak announces the new round.
Lohr is also very active on Colossus Arena (isdcolossus.com/arena/main.asp) and have quiet a high points rating. Should you beat him, you will get all Lohr's points in addition to the ones you already have.
Prove you're the best in the Wing, win the Ace title and top the Arena! Make your step to the glory today!

5. Now I would like to raise a topic I thought I would never be even thinking about. The High Court of Inquisitors or the HCI. They have real power to lay punishment on any member of the EH for breaking of the CoC and AoW. Seeing that the most repeating cases are cheating ones I ask you all to pay extra high attention to the TFRs you are sending in for approval. It could be that you never even thought of tampering your files, never edited them and doesn’t even know that there is a TFR editor, but it has come to my attention that still sometimes, on some Tie Fighter platform versions the score is somehow wrong. I’m not that much of a technician but I believe such things could happen. Its the computer anyway and the errors occur sometimes. Please be sure to check if your score is not double higher than the highscore on a certain mission or battle. Such things are not often, but anything could happen, especially if you are using Tie Fighter Disc version.
And dont forget about the CoC as well. Bad behaivour on the official EH channels can end up by an unpleasant HCI ruling.

6. Wing Commander's Own. An award usually given to the squadron that was simply the best in the Wing during last month. Well this time it will not be given to any squadron as for I have two equal candidates for that title and it would be a shame to give the WCO to only one squadron and say nothing about the other. Two squadrons very active, one simply continued its good work while the other proved herself being an exellent team capable of performing on the edge of success while being small in numbers. Yes yes, these are Iota squadron and Eta squadron.
Both are equally tough, tight, competitive and eager to rip more stars from the sky. I should commend the commanding skills of Captain Troutrooper and Captain Lohr Zadash. Having a very different approach to the squadron management they both have outstanding results and exellent groups under their command.
Congratulations to both Eta and Iota for being the best on Collie in the month of November and ... isn't this TIE a ground for a little friendly combat engagement?

Squadrons summary
-----------------------------------------------------

1. Mu squadron

This week Mu got the new Commander and it appears to me that this squadron is raising up. Lets wait until next week to see the real results of the new appointment.

2. Pi squadron

I still hear nothing from Pi exept for RAF and CMDR Nivarian. Down 4 pilots this week and I guess now Pi is free of dead weight. However there is a free FL spot there, so if you feel like you want to help Pi raise up go apply for the spot to CMDR Nivarian and remember that raising up a squadron can be hard, but very rewarding. Need a quest? Join Pi :)

3. Omicron squadron

CMDR McCloud continues to learn more of CMDR tricks and is preparing an interesting intersquadron competition for his pilots. Hey Omi! Shake up and do your best ... You are great squadron with many traditions and it is time now to prove you are a worthy opponent both in combat and in fiction writting.

4. Iota squadron

Up one pilot, down one pilot. Another pilot appointed CMDR in our Wing. Their citations are at 51 and flying activity is great. Another week shown us Iota never changes (which is good ;]) Tight, strong and friendly. Active CMDR, active pilots ... Outstanding input into Wing activity and a true example of a good Tie Corps squadron!

5. Eta squadron

Although CPT Troutrooper says in his report there are not many news for the last week of November I've to disagree with him a bit :] Eta squadron has progress in everything i.e. homepage under reconsruction and Tyler collecting graphics for it, AD tries to sort out his computer problem with big K and the Science Officer (see he's not just sitting down complaining about his techincal errors - he tries to solve them!), Nic Rety has applied for Colossus Doctor and succeded! Now we have an Assassin Doctor onboard ... cough cough ... no! dont cut my throat open to heal me! ;] ... cough cough. Wap Eal lost somewhere far away from his home and is fighting the mean ISP but managed to fly 15 missions last week ... and Troutrooper made an interesting interview of ... we'll have to rewad the next Battle Cry to know who.
