News:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISD CHALLENGE! (As of Feb. 7!!)

- Congratz and good luck to CA:TAC Master! Congratz to CMDR Daniel Bonini on being appointed to take care of the rowdy idlers at the bottom of the roster ;) YEY TEMPEST!

- Welcome arrivals of the vets COL Domi, LC Chris McCollum, COL George, and COL Locke Setzer!!

- The mailing lists are, in fact, fubared.

- Yey for midterms! I mean booo!!... Wait, midterms signal reading week! YEY! I will be away for reading week Feb 18-~26 but not offline. If you need to get ahold of me use the usual measures :)

- Pwnage in ECR VI!
Results:
ISD Challenge: 41 (10 on the battle)
ISD Relentless: 28 (6 on the battle)
ISD Colossus: 19 (2 on the battle)
Since BubbaX is still on the Challenge I want everyone to make him nice and comfortable. Henceforth, all physical activity has been moved from the gymnasium to the empty Cyclone quarters above his quarters. The new gym is also now open all night long, and will be turned into club with heavy base during the evening. Enjoy!

- Minos is unsteady, so the battlegroups and ship webpages are essentially crippled for now. Postage of reports is now only NECESSARY on the TC Database until further notice.

- All Squadrons are to choose an official color. Thunder, Inferno, and Typhoon have all submitted, Tempest… this means you!

- Holiday ‘presents’ have rained down from above like mana, yey goodies!

- Important BIRTHDAY competitions listed below

Services:

As your Commodore I can provide many services including, but not limited to the following simple bulleted list:
- Custom Uniform Design!! (

- An ear for problems you are having in your Real Life

- Raining of rewards upon deserving people

- Answers to questions about the ship or command staff on the ship

- An ear for problems you may be having with your commander or ship mates

- BSFing (in certain cases)

Note on Freeworlds and other MMORPGs:

-MMORPGs such as Freeworlds and Star Wars Galaxies do count as weekly activity, however they do NOT excuse you from competitions. If there is a competition running you are expected to put that competition as a higher priority than the MMORPG. Your superior generally has no way of knowing if and how often you play MMORPGs so it is recommended you keep them informed as to your level of activity in that regard.

 

Recommended Routine:
I would like every member of the ship to attempt to adopt a routine similar to this following example at least once a day, it will benefit everyone.

1. Log in to your Squadron’s selected Instant Messaging Program!!

Your Report: -Personal Log-
Bleh, all these pilots complaining about this tour.  One would think they might consider the pain and hardship I went through, giving up flying an Imperial Star Destroyer, for a freakin\' TIE Defender.

I think the crew of the Relentless is still a little sore from my ships complete and utter domination of them in ECR VI.  They sent me off without ANY warheads!

From talking to their dull briefing officer I learned a few things about the Relentless crew.  They have trouble with new technology, I mean, come on, it\'s very simple stuff.  My ship picked up on that EHBL stuff almost immediately and without complaint.  Bunch of whining.. mrrgg!

I have also discerned that their intelligence or communication quality is low.  There seems to be some gender confusion about the rDBer we had problems with.  I was pretty sure SHE had breasts, but mr. dry-briefing officer insisted on calling her a HE.  But hey, maybe \'she\' is just an \'it\', that sounds about right for a rDBer.

So I complain about my lack of warheads after the first mission... and what do they give me? A half load... geeze... it\'s a good thing I\'m not too rusty behind the joystick.  I\'m not even going to get started on their pilots.  Well, I guess I will, I gotta vent somewhere.  I had to do all the work... the Relentless bombers didn\'t even know how to attack capital ships, they insisted on going after my targets instead of their own!  By the end of it they were too crippled to help me out with the cap ships, and the incompetant Rel techs seemed to have forgotten their warheads as well.  Pitiful... I would never have these types of problems with my wonderful Challenge pilots.
Mrrgg! Those assault transport pilots, they might as well have been chickens with their heads cut off for all they did.  I could just barely keep them alive, (with little to NO help from the Rel pilots).  What am I, their babysitter?!?

I don\'t think I\'m going to accept any other invitations to help the Relentless in their tours, no matter how boring escorting Bubba around gets.  I\'d rather scrub spam then fly their ugly, half-loaded, dilapidated gun and missile boats.  Thank God I used my Titan for some of it, but after all that use, she needs a coat of paint.  Hmmm, perhaps some orange highlights this time... .......

Competitions:

Wing X Birthday:
Drunken Revelry.
Between becoming the new TCBG Flagship and celebrating yet another birthday, the parties have become out of control. Create a graphic displaying the 'pleasantries;' write a fiction (under 1,000 words) describing any aspect of the 'party.' Topic(s) are fairly open as long as they have something to do with a drunken party in the cantina, or some other form of party. The top graphic and top fiction will receive an IS-SR. Runner up in each category will receive an IS-BR. Competition will run all month. Submissions are due to Coranel and Stuart March 2nd.

Binge/Tour!
This comp is a TIE Golf comp! Hooray TIE Golf! :P

The mission assigned for this comp is TIE-FREE #180. You are to fly the FREE. However, in this comp, the lowest score wins the IS-SW, with second lowest getting the IS-BW. Rules are that you must complete all of the Primary objectives; no using the cheats; no killing friendly craft; and no laser burn (shooting off lasers into space for 10 minutes to lower your score :P).

Enjoy! Submissions for TIE Golf are due in by the 22nd of February:
