TAC Report # 85 (2003-04-18)

This report was submitted by AD Marcin Szydlowski


     Another week has passed, and franly I've never seen so many changes in EH. Revolt in DB. Resignations. Internal fights. But revolt have failed. We stand together with GA Ronin and SA Astatine. People loyal to EH. Ready to strike when needed.

     I am not going to express my oppinion about this mutiny attemp. You all know my oppinion. Leaders of the mutiny will always be the traitors in my eyes. And I am going to do everything I can (of course in legal ways) to spoil their plans. In few months noone will remember about them.

     But I see one good thing coming from this mutiny. It united us. It united EH. It opened our eyes. Personally I think our ID should be move active. Afterall they should have informed us about this internal threat. Now, we should do all we can to create on database for entire EH, and stop those attemps once and for all. It's hard work but together we can achieve it.

Mission Compendium down due to Security Issues
     Yes. All links have been taken offline by our XO. We believe that traitors could try to take our battles and use as their won. Together with SCO we are working on Uber Project, that should solve this matter once and for all. And of course, I have one competition in mind, already approve by GA Ronin, that will discourage traitors from using our battles.

Mission Creation Wars - Round 2 started
     I have released all MCW 1 battles and sent plotline to people. Round 2 looks at follows:

  • Ender vs Choosh/Yoda - Unexpected
  • Halcyon/Philo vs Argon Viper - Quest for loyalty
  • Frodo vs Carl Lost/Viper - Stop Snij clones
I hope everyone will enjoy their plotlines. Dealine: May 31st.


TAC3K countdown!
     We are halfway through TAC2.9k We need only 156 to reach TAC3K! Good work Tactical Staff, keep it up!

TCC:XvT resigned, new TCC:XvT sought
     After long time as TCC:XvT, our very own LC Pell, resigned due to computer problems and RL issues. To stop all rummors, LC Pell is loyal to EH and he didn't quit because of DB mutiny. He was great guy, proving us with constant flow of XvT/BoP battles and missions. He will be missed.
     With resignation of LC Pell, I open TCC:XvT for applications. Requirements as follows:

  • Be current or former member of Tactical Office, with proven mission testing and creation experience
  • Ability to work with different people and manage team of testers
  • XTM/1 and XTM/2 courses passed
  • Person must be familiar with Tactical Office procedures, Tactical Database and Tactical Manual
  • No time consuming position in TC or any other SGs (TCC:XvT is very time consuming)
Send all applications to CA:TAC and TAC and title them "TCC:XvT application". Great awards for hard working people but I want to see full dedication and loyalty to the assigned position.

Golden Tug Awards - 2003 Edition!
     Started by HA Striker, 1 year ago, GTAs will be continued by me, however it will be real Oscar style. So expect winners announced by EH celebrities (I hope GA Ronin will find time to join IRC and announce best mission designer and SA Astatine will announce best battle). At the moment, I am compiling list of battles, created in 2002. This list should be published very soon, I will try to attach it to next TAC report :)


Tactical Office Person of the Week:
     This week I've selected Carl Lost as Person of the Week. As recommended by TCC:TIE:

Cheating cases:
     There are some questionable pilot files on my list, and I am investigating them now together with my CA. We should come up with results shortly. Also due to lack of reply from Kat Layons, he's been found guilty on all charged. Standard cheating punishment has been issued.

Final word:
     My office is always open. I don't do any businnes on IRC, but I ALWAYS reply to questions and suggestions. What do I mean by EH bussiness. Here's example: "Mike, please award me my mission MoT-rh", and other things like that.
     If you have question and I am not available, try joining #tac and ask there or use mail. Ultimately you can use Mission Creation Forum :)
