As some of you already know, I suffered from serious RL problems in the past
weeks, which prevented me from taking care of TAC duties. I would like to say I
am fully able to take care of them now, but this is not the case. Since I joined
the TAC Office two years ago, I have seen this office change from a lazy place
to one of the busiest and most time-consuming office of the fleet. TAC duties
bring an additional source of stress I can't handle in my actual condition.
Therefore, this is with great sorrow I hereby announce my resignation as
Tactical Officer; resignation which will be effective as soon as a suitable
replacement has been chosen by GA Ronin. I hope the change to be as painless as
possible for everybody, people shouldn't have to worry for lost battles etc,
everything is well archived and everything single file will be sent to the next
TAC; I will take care of BSFs, bugs, new battles, cheaters etc as much as
possible in the meantime. On a side note, my first CA resigned during my
absence, which should open an additional place in the TAC Staff. I don't plan to
leave the EH, I am just unable to fulfill right now the duties attached to the
TAC position with a full efficiency.

Now, the day-to-day routine of the TAC Office...

1/ I am pretty disappointed in the lack of participation of the little mission
design contest hold by the TAC Office for the 2001 Jedi Convention... only one
TIE submission so far :P http://www.tiecorps.org/tac/contest.html
2/ A bunch of battles should be updated on the next days...
3/ Beta Period #24 will begin on January 3rd... VA StarLion should be looking
for new TCS soon, as some of the current ones have been pretty inactive, which
has mainly delayed new XvT Battles.
4/ The Phoenix Team is quite dead with the resignation of VA Wlodek.
