Tactical Officer Report # 74

New battles and free missions
     I've released new battles and free mission today. What is good office speeds up and we release more and more missions every week. Currently we have almost 2700 missions online and we should hit 3000 very soon. It will great milestone and achievement of Tactical Office.
     What's more. We have new battletypes. Thanks to Ender mBind we have XW-TC battles, after "Xunami Wings" we have released XvT-CAB battles, BoP-DB and BoP-ID is coming soon. But I would also like to see some battle from CD or even other SubGroups.
     Another good thing is increased number of testers and member of Tactical Office. My goal is to have 100 members working for Tactical Office, and it seems we are closer to this goal every week.

Clarification about IRC
It seems some people misunderstood my statement about IRC, so I will try to do it more clear. I am on IRC to asnwer your question, help you with your problems and other similar things. But do not ask me about medals, high scores, etc. That kind of things should be mailed. I am only human, I can forget. So use email.

TAC hits 23
Yes. I'm 23 now, next goal 24 :P Thanks to all who wished me happy bday, I appreciate that.

Tactical Office Competitions #1 and #2
They end today in.. *checks the clock*.. 7 hours, 11 minutes. I will announce results on Tie Corps meetins, cause I want my CA to help me judge them. So Tactical Office will have new banner very soon :)

One information about rules of Tac Office
     I am not against realistic battles. Tactical Office rule states that you cannot kill GA Ronin, SA Astatine or any high ranked members of EH. About ships. I can understand realism, and I am not against loosing our ISDs. However KEEP IT REAL! Also, I herby set rule that it's only allowed in CAB and FCHG battles, where you have huge plotline.
     KEEP IT REAL. Loosing EH ISD because squadron of enemy Y-Wings attacked it is not allowed (primary goals cannot accept it), however when ISD is overrun by the enemy, and crew decide to fight till the end, to save many lifes, then I will accept it. Also, when we are loosing ISD, then it is good when command staff of this ISD evacuates before destruction.
     You can even state in plotline that ship has been rebuilt after victory of EH (I assume your battle will end with EH victory).
     On a side note: it will be included in Tac Man 3.0

Tactical Office Person of the Week:
     This week I've selected Darth Vader, as Person of the Week. As recommended by TCC:XvT/LC Pellaeon:
         POTW: My recommenation this week is Darth Vader. He rejoined this week TAC Office, and worked here like a huricane :-P He flew the most beta missions and corrected the most of them, he gave an exellent show of his longtime serve experience. Glad to have him in my staff.
     Great job DV. You have earned 1 point. I remind all TCCs to send their PotW recomendations. So current standings look as follows:

Frodo - 1
Tealyan - 1
Darth Vader - 1

So because there is no winner, we have to wait until next week

Cheating cases:
     Unfortunatelly there will be cheating case again, and it is possible second will follow. I will probably email HCI tomorrow, and second case needs to be investigated more, cause I have to be 100% sure.
     Remember. If you think you escaped me because I approved your illegal High Score, then you can't be more wrong. I have nice tactics, observing certain members. I simply approve your HS and I wait and observe you. So if you cheat, sooner of later I will knock to your door and bring platoon of troopers with me.
     Right now I am observing 5-6 people. No decisions has been made yet, but if they cheat, they will meet the blade of EH justice very soon.
     Remember. Cheating is never worth an effort. When you cheat you try to test my skills. You cheat because you think you are smart, more smart than me, or you cheat good enough. Trust me. I know everything about TIE, XvT/BoP and XWA. Soon I will be certified enginner of computer science, so I know a lot about programming, and all those things connected with computers. Don't cheat.

High Scores
Remember people. I'm sick to death of you bugging me to process high scores. Learn to be patient. All HSs are processed as fast as I can. You bug me, you get +1 week bonus. I hope that is clear.

Final word:
My office is always open, and you can find me on IRC. Don't hesitate to ask or mail me. Visit Tactical channel #tac and ask question there. Cya next week
