Wing X Report #6 (11.February.02)

NEWS:

All-Change on the Challenge
Locke resigns as Tempest CMDR, Kaneda Pellail appointed. Darklord resigns as COM and Locke is appointed. Congrats to those two, and I'm sure you'll all join me in thanking Darklord for a wonderful two years devoted to this ship. A truly remarkable achievement (and no, I'm not just saying that).

BG Highlander Competition
Inferno, Thunder and Tornado went through into the third round of the competition and should be flying FTIE 127. Your files are due in to Mell tomorrow by 11.59pm GMT

New Trivia Competition:
Just for fun, we're starting up trivia again! Thanks muchly to LCM Dark Viper of Typhoon who is moderating this for me. Trivia will be sent out in a separate email after this report, but I'll explain the rules in brief here for you all as well:
The Pilot with most correct answers will receive 3 points, the second 2 and the third 1. When two pilots have the same number of correct answers the one who submitted first will get the point.



At the end of the month the pilot with most points will receive an IS-SR, the runner-up an IS-BR. The third in line will get an extra point for the next month’s contest.


Challenge News Network: Newsletter Layout Design Competition
We're starting a newsletter - yippee! But to start a newsletter, we need a cool funkomatic design to publish it in. Are you good at graphics, html, web design in general? Then this competition is for you! Details are available below or at: http://www.imperialacademy.org/compdetails.asp?ID=1217
"The competition is to completely design a format for the forthcoming Challenge Newsletter. Candidates may work in groups or as individuals to produce the layout, including graphics, html, etc.

I would expect the following categories to be included in any layout:
NEWS
REPORTS
- Cyclone
- Inferno
- Tempest
- Thunder
- Tornado
- Typhoon
COLUMNS
GRAPHICS
- Banners
- Miscellaneous
FICTION
- Fiction
- Poetry
- Promotion / Joining Stories
ARTICLES
HUMOUR / FUN
MISSIONS & BATTLES
AWARDS & PROMOTIONS
IWATS PASSES

Medals to be awarded: IS-SR for first place, IS-BR for second place; First placed layout will have the honour and pleasure of having their layout used as the Challenge Newsletter!

Submissions should be posted on a web-host, and the URL emailed to COL Mairin Astoris and RA LOCKE, or else all necessary files should be zipped and emailed (if no hosting is available to the entrants). A URL would be much preferred. :P Entries are due in by 28th February (which gives you loads of time to get this going!)"

Battle Reviews:
So you flew the mission/battle? Why not write a review to help out mission designers and fliers? It doesn't have to be long, just a few lines - and even better it gets the Wing some great exposure!
