WC/LC Zeth Durron reporting in for Wing II/SSSD Sovereign - 10.05.2005
Weekly Wing II report #14

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." - Les Brown
(no riddle...Jon took all my cookies =P)

<Salute>

(w00t..I survived #13...onwards to #14 - sorry for takiung so long to write this...I was playing something the last few days)

Teh bad news first:

unfortunately we lost MAJ Jack Stone due to a misunderstanding. The whole situation is beeing investigated by the FC, right now there are no news about it. Tho I`d like to see this solved any time soon (like tomorrow)...but we just have to wait. note: no open discussion allowed!!

One more bad nes for those who were looking forward to ImpStorm:

WO Priyum blew his PC with Microsofts Service Pack 2 for XP - so everything is put on hold, till he can recover all his stuff.

Meanwhile you can participate in 2 competitions - ok, I lied...Kappa members can =P (details below)
The idea is pretty simple: the Wing II CMDR´s and the WC vs. the rest of the Wing. I selected 3 'no patch-required' battles so that everyone can play them from the spot. A 2 week time-frame for 3 battles should be enough I hope...

You wanna do more?? You can do GFX? I bet 80% of the personnel now yawn & scroll on ;D

The EH & TC main pages are ready for a overhaul and need a new look - http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=521 

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

*nuff said...back to ...whatever you do*

btw: if you havnt noticed, SOVCOMs e-mail addy no longer is *.juno.com - use tieknt[at]gmail[dot]com

Recommending Medals!
23:36 - VA Pickled Yoda
As per my OPS report (which I know you all read....), I need to see quantitative data in medal requests. Do not just say "High Activity" or "Lots of flying" or even "has flown his arse". Do not just say "participated in competitions". I need to see quantitative data, which means that I want to know how many missions/battles they flew, and what IWATS courses they took, etc. With competitions, I want to know what the competition was, and what they did in that competition.

Additionally, refresh your memory on what medals can and cannot be recommened for by reading the Operations Manual - Here

New Battles and Mission!
21:56 - AD Frodo

XvT DB-14 and BoP TC-25 have been released!

On a more...SWGB note, SWGB-DIR 3, SWGB-DIR 4, and SWGB-FREE 3 have also been released! All this and more at your local mission compendium.

Any pilot files used for beta testing can be sent to myself.

Also, Tomorow at 1300hrs EST is the IMC Semi Finals. Show up in #TAC to see the major confrontation!
