[20:40] <`Badlan> I mean, absolute Power Corrupts absolutly. Look what happened to Hitler, Mussolini... Kawolski >:P

     Slow week, but I can't complain afterall. My RL gave me some rest, and I am solving all of my troubles now. It keeps getting better and better everyday, so I am happy. I have exam in two weeks, so I guess I will have to start learning. Good thing is this exams is pretty easy, so I won't have any problems with it. This means I will do more EH work.
     Unfortunately, my RL things limit my EH time. I do all of my core duties in timely manner, but I don't have time to do any extra work. That's not good. Thanks to great assistance of my Coordinators, we have constant flow of new battles and missions. That's good and I am pleased. Two of my TCCs, are doind updates for their platforms so number of bugs should decrease :) That's good.
     My only problem is TCC:XvT. Frodo, I like you man, but if you will start slacking, I will kick you out. I cannot afford one of my TCCs to be worse that other two. I am not happy to say that, but you started slacking. If you cannot do your weekly report, then mail me and say why. I also see, you didn't complete some of final checks, especially Beta Project. That's really not good. When I say that all report should be on Thursday, or Friday morning (my time), then I want them then. No delays. You have skills man, but you should really consider if you have time to be TCC and CMDR :)
     On the other things, I did very nice check. Right now, HA Striker is our best guy, with 52 TAC reports. So far I have 39 reports written. Not bad. And soon we will celebrate 100th TAC report :) Plus many more celebrations, I will mention in 100th report :) Little anniversary, don't you thing? :)

Mission Creation Courses
     RogueWing agreed to send me weekly stats. So I guee he will do it next week:

• TIE Mission Creation (TM) - 42 graduates
• XvT Mission Creation (XTM/1) - 302 graduates
• XvT Advanced Mission Creation (XTM/2) - 109 graduates

Mission Creation Corner
     Some briefing tips from our very own, Choosh:

• There is a maximum size for breifing map tags in XvT, about 32 characters (around horizontal size of the blanks under the 'strings' tab), that if you exceed, XvT will crash
• The XvTED breifing window has slightly different dimensions than in XvT, so if something is on the edge, it might not be in the breifing window
  
• The size of the Breifing text box is much bigger in XvTED than in XvT. One full line of text in XvTED is about the longest a text can get in a XvT breifing
  
• You can delete just one tag in a breifing instead of all tags by placing a blang tag of the same numeral. (ex. Tag #1 " " will overwrite Tag #1 "hello"
  
• outside of X coordinates -40 or +40, there are no horizontal lines
