1. New battles and missions
Thanks to hard work of Tac Office staff we have released new free mission: XvT-Free #106 and new battle: XWA-IW #28. Good work everyone, more coming next week.

2. Word to testers and mission designers
Read this carefully people. Cause I am not going to repeat myself. I've been told that there are some people disputing TCC's of TAC's decision. So I say. This is not going to happen. We are not democracy. We are not here to vote, discuss, etc. What TAC says goes, what XO says goes, what FC says goes. Tester has no rights. When you join Tac Office as tester/engineer you agree to our rules. You test what we say, you do not question out decisions. You don't like our rules, quit.
You are allowed to ask TCC (your direct superior), not to assign you battles on specified difficulty level. This will allow rookie testers to avoid Hard level testing, what is probably beyond their skills.
What's more. Neither I not HA Striker will not allow personal wars in this office. You cannot lower the ratings of battles, giving 0s because you don't like creator. State a damn good reason, if you give 0 rating to bug-free battle. Same with beta testing. From time to time, I do routing check of beta reports. So behave.
There is also a word for missions designers. You have absolutly no decision about people who will test your battle. It's TCC's decision. Not yours, so don't you even try.

3. BSFs
You deserve few words explanation about how the system works now. You make BSF with high score. I check it, if everything is ok, then I approve. If I am not sure, I audit it. I don't want to send anyone to HCI with 407 violation, so all audits have to wait for Striker. He will make final decision.

4. CA:TAC going on leave
Yes. I am going to see mountains again, mountains. So, I won't be able to get internet access. I am not exactly sure when I will leave, but it will be around 31st. I guess TAC will come back before me, but who know. As always, BSFs will have to wait.

5. FCHG Competition - Enemies of the Hammer
Keep sending your submissions. I didn't receive any of them yet, so it's pretty good chance to win IS-PR. Remember about quality. It's more important than storyline.
