-First off, between the flying beer bottles, the nonstop drinking, the spray cans that "mysteriously" were found in the Phantom barracks, and finally, the "unexpected" arrival of 23 Twi'lek dancers for the Officer's Club billed to my account, I've somehow managed to survive my first week of COM. Here's to many more, eh? :)
-Second, and more importantly, this week I spent much of my time working with the CMDRs and the WC to develop a new Ship Standing Orders for the ISD Immortal. All personnel (including myself) are now required to adhere to these relatively simple guidelines. I encourage all of you to go check them out either at the ISD Immortal Homepage where they are now listed, or on the Wing XI Message Board, posted here
-Third, as you may have noticed, CM Dulcatos stepped down from Demon CMDR this week, due to pressing real life concerns. Applications are not being accepted, as we still have plenty applications left over from the opening in Vampire, and already have choosen someone to take on the reigns of Demon. More on that when it becomes offical :)

-Fifth, congrats again to the new Vampire CMDR, CPT Kane Reese, as well as the newly-promoted Phantom CMDR, Captain Tek Selkirk :)
-On a final note, two things. First off, you'll notice I've been updating the ISD Immortal website quite a bit, and I would definetly invite you to head over there if you're curious about what competitions are going on at the moment that are avaliable for all pilots of Wing XI. Second, I was given the unoffical title of BGCOM:XO this week, which basically means I'll be helping run the website, as well as helping set up and run Battlegroup-wide competitions. So... in other words, stay tuned for something relatively big coming up in he near future... :)
Commodore's Protector: Continuing in this competition, each month I will choose the pilot I feel has served the Immortal the best over the past month and bestow upon him the title of Commodore's Protector, which he will retain until the next month when I pass the title on to another. While the title may be used in any email and TC transactions for the month the pilot retains it, they will also be awarded a IS-SR for obtaining the title for that month.
Squadron of the Month: Each month I will select a Squadron I believe has performed overall as a group (not a set of individuals) the best shall be awarded the title of Squadron of the Month. The CMDR of the Squadron of the Month shall be awarded a IS-SW for leading his squadron to that title, and the Squadron as a whole will be given a banner with their name and date of their accomplishment which may be posted on their website, as a reward to give them complete bragging rights for that month.
Create a banner for new ship comp!: Well, I promised a banner for the Squadron of the Month competition... but I'm without one to use! Therefore, I'd like one of you to make me one that can be used to be awarded to a different squadron each month. A IS-SR will be awarded to the best entree, and a IS-BR shall be awarded to the runner-up. Deadline: October 1st
Beat the Wing Commander!: The Wing Commander of Wing XI has an open challenge to all of the Immortal. Any pilot who accepts will choose a free mission for any platform (except XW), or challenge the WC to an MP match on any platform. If the pilot beats the WC, he/she gets an IS-BW. Deadline: October 26th
Wing XI Pilot of the Month Comp: The pilot who flies the most, and is overall most active for each week will be awarded one point. The pilot with the most points for each month will receive an IS-SW. If there is a tie, both pilots will get an IS-SW. This will continue each month until January.
Wing XI Trivia: Every week, after the wing meeting, there will be trivia held. The pilot who wins the most weeks in a month wins an IS-SR. All others who win a week get IS-BRs.
This week's winner: CM Ric Gravant!!!
Bubba's Blashpemous Battle Bash: Pilots will fly XWA-TC 8 and try to attain the highest score possible. IS-SW to first place IS-BW to second. Deadline: September 30th
-A tragic loss as occured to the TC, as HA Priyum Patel, long-time FO, has decided to finally step down. His work as the FO was quite impressive, and has been felt by each individual TC member. His departure leaves quite a hole to fill in the EH hiearchy.
-The results from the TO Apostasy comp are in! Congrats to our very own CPT Aeolus for snagging a IS-PR in the Graphics Event Epsilon event!
-Big congrats to RA Alex Foley, who is not only new OPS officer, but managed to get through about 500 medals in one sitting ;P
-Wing XV WC has opened up. If you're intrested, head over to EH.net for details.
-Equally, the Internet Officer is now looking for a new IOA. Head over to EH.net if you're intrested.
