1. Tactical Office competitions.
Xunami Wings - Phase 1 has ended, and I've received 10 plotlines. We are judgeing them together with my Command Attache. Results will be announced on EH Birthday, January 7th.
Tac Office Competition #1 - your job it to make banner for Tactical Office. Competition starts January 1st. Competition ends: February 1st.
Tac Office Competition #2 - task is simple. You job is to adjust text of songs (Another one bites the dust, Master of Puppets, It's a kind of magic) to make them tactical anthems. Best anthem will earn IS-GR. Good luck. Deadline just like #1 comp.

4. Project "Exterminator" update:
     My CA did great job this week and corrected a lot of XWA stuff. I've corrected some XvT battle, and we've removed some invalid bugs from TIE. Most of compendium is clean, and all battles should be playable. Remember to download newest versions of battles. Don't store them on HDD. If you encounter any bug and it's a valid bug, report it ASAP.

5. TIE testers sought:
     Tactical Office needs additional testers. Applications to TCC:TIE Mark Schueler and me. Details can be found Mission Creation Message Board. Good awards for hard working people.

6. New patches:
     My personal congratulations to Science Office. They have released some great XvT/BoP patches: Missile Boat, Tie Defender, Tie Vanguard and B-Wing (xvt). Great job. I've personally used them in my newest battles and they rock. Good job, SCO guys, keep it up.

7. Tactical Manual ver3.0:
     HA Striker did great job with Tac-man 2.0, but now, a lot of things have changes. I am working on 3rd version of Tactical Manual. Unfortunatelly HTML code of current Tac-man is so messy, that I have to completly redesign it. So it will take me some time.
     So far I've did major redesign, updated code, and now i'm going through it, adding new stuff and updating code. I'm not sure how much time it will take me, but I will try to do it ASAP.

8. TCC:XWA applications closed, decision soon.
     My CA will appoint new TCC:XWA soon. He is final interviewing both candidates. We want best person for this job and both candidates are greatly skilled. Expect decision soon.

9. Cheating cases:
     It seems our major case, has finally ended. I've 4 other under investigation. There were some question asked by pilots, but they were all answered and no additional case has been added to queue. If you have question about high score, or you think you have prove that someone is cheating, let me know. I will check this out and show you either you are right or wrong.

10. 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
