Training Office Report #13
Admiral Keldorn Reporting – 5th June 2003
My congratulations to the new BitchX (BX) Professor, Lieutenant Orrimaarko Reeft of the ISD Immortal and to the new (well overdue) Active Server Page (ASP) Professor, Fleet Admiral Darkov.
Work on the “Apostasy” competition has continued, if rather behind schedule due to a lack of input from some quarters – hopefully that will be remedied shortly and the final planning can continue.
All of the Shadow Academy courses are now available on the ‘Academic NeXus’, although the tests are still not online – they should follow within the next few days.
It would seem clarification is needed as to what was meant in regards to the ban on Combat Rating ‘Races’; I have already given such details in the report where it was initially announced, but will repeat for the sake of ease:
Admiral Khaine and I have been contemplating the issue of Combat Rating ‘Races’ as official competitions. I have decided that all future internal unit competitions of this nature will be denied. I would like to highlight the emphasise on “internal unit competitions”; this only applies to a competition involving one unit (Squadron, Wing etc.) and not to a inter-unit competition – I.e. Squadron vs. Squadron, Wing vs. Wing etc. We have reached this conclusion because we feel that the granting of an award (in this case, and Iron Star) for achieving another award (in this case, Legions of Combat and Distinguished Flying Crosses) is a foolish enterprise that benefits few.
I would also like to remind all TC Officers (…again) that there are methods to include CR ‘Races (in the loosest possible sense) as a constituent part in other competitions (I.e. using a points-based system – 2 points for MP participation, 5 points for an MP win etc.). There we have it. I have included a small section on the new ‘Academic NeXus’ (http://www.emperorshammer.ca/comps.html) to include such ‘Standing Orders’ such as these.
The Training Office is now accepting Course proposals. With stability now re-established within IWATS, and a full compliment of IWATS Staff on the near horizon, I have decided to re-open the Office to proposals of new Courses to be included in the IWATS repertoire. There are a few restrictions upon proposals; I am open to many diverse and innovative ideas, and would like to encourage the proposal of specifically non-programming Courses at this time. The Courses under consideration so far are:
- Cascading Style Sheets.
- Sound Processing/Editing.
- General Multiplayer.
- Star Wars Galaxies.
- Advanced TIE Mission Design (TM/2).
- Advanced TIE Tactics (TT/2).
- Networking Basics.
