TAC Report # 75 (2003-02-07)

This report was submitted by AD Marcin Szydlowski


Mission Creation War!
     Yes! Heaven for all mission designers! Biggest competition ever from Tactical Office. Great medals to win! Need to say more? Check out details.
     Before we start this war (March 1st), you need to sign up. It's very simple. Email me and my CA. Title your email "Mission Creation War" and tell us if you want to join free missions, battles or both.      What's more. We have Tactical Office competition #3. Your mission is to create a set of trophies. I will use them in future.

Some news for mission designers
     Our very own SCO has releases M/SC (Modified Strike Cruised, in other words rebel interdictor) for XWA. This gives you good chance to improve your missions. What's more. SCO is working on shipyards for SSDs (Triad platforms), for all games. This will be another great extension to our missions. Good work Ender and give us some Borg... erm... i mean Vong OPTs, lol


TAC3K countdown!
     Yes! It's new section of my report! This week we have reached 2700 mission online! We need only 296 to reach TAC3K! Good work Tactical Staff, keep it up!

New Multi Player Competitions
     Following COO's request I am announcing that soon COO will introduce new competitions. One #ehcoc based and one Zone based. All details can be found in COO's report.
     What's more. There are new competitions on Zone. If you are active zone player, check TC.News and take a part. Remember, Zone is great place to recruit new people to EH, and represent EH ammong other clubs. Good luck and big thanks to all pilots who fly for EH on zone.

New COs!
     Congrats to our new COs: TO Keldorn, OPS Khaine and LO Tron. Big congrats and good luck with your new appointments. I've already had a pleasure to cooperate with new TO and OPS, and I say they are very good officers and I am pretty sure they will do their best to make EH progress. Congrats once again.

TACA sought
     Yes. I am looking for assistant. It seems some people think I have a bunch of assistants. To clarify it. I have only one assistant, and it's honorary assistant, HA Striker. So go and annoy someone else.
     Also, some people have problems with growing Tactical Office and increasing numbers of testers and engineers. This people should realize that one of TAC's core duties are mantaining, improving and expanding EH Mission Compendium. GA Ronin wants new battles, and I follow his orders. More and more people create new battles, and I have more and more new submissions, so I need more people. And you can do nothing about it. If you have problems, go and talk to our Fleet Commander. As long as I am here, new missions will be releases every week.

Friendly warning to all who would like to question TAC of Command Staff
     I've noticed huge ammount of disrespect toward my person. I've also noticed that some people have problems with *@*.pl email addresses and people using it, in other words people from Poland. This has not only been spotted by me, but also by people who are not polish. Hear that loud and clear. This ends now! Next time I see anyone doing it, and anyone having problems with people living in poland, or any other country I won't hesitate and inform SO and FC himself.
     It is clearly stated than YOU WILL NOT insult anyone in this club because of his origin or nationality. Racism will not be tolerated in this club. You don't like how it work, leave. But we will never allow you to discriminate anyone because of his nationality.
     In Tactical Office I have many different people from many different counties. But I never had any problems with people because they live in Germany, UK, Estonia or any other country. And I expect all people to do the same. No discrimination!
     Also I am sick to death of people trying to "order" TAC what to do and how to do his job. C'mon. Make up your mind. If you want to suggest something, then do it, but do not try to order me. When I give you decision, there's nothing you can do about it. Actually you can try mailing FC or XO, but I am pretty sure they will agree with me. Same thing with rest of Command Staff. They have not been appointed to be your friends. They are here to make sure Emperor's Hammer is moving on. They are here to do hard work. It's military dictatorship, not democracy. When CO say, it goes. That's the way it always was and that's the way it will be. :)
     To give you example of good suggestion. Former CA:TAC, Arso suggested me on Message Board to post announcements about new battles and mission on TC.News. It was great idea and I gladly accepted it :)


Tactical Office Person of the Week:
     This week I've selected Darth Vader, as Person of the Week. As recommended by TCC:XvT/LC Pellaeon:
         This week i recommend VA Darth Vader again, he tested and corrected like a crazy one. I count over 9 beta test on hard and 14 corrections, I this was one of the most impessive work I've see in my TAC duty. Well done Vader :-)
     Great job DV. You have earned 1 point. I remind all TCCs to send their PotW recomendations. So current standings look as follows:
  • Frodo - 1
  • Tealyan - 1
  • Darth Vader - 2
     So Darth Vader wins IS-GR and we start again!

Cheating cases:
     Good and bad news. I've sent 2 people to HCI and I am investigating 2 cases. My CA is working on one investigation and it seems case will go to HCI. What's good. One person explained himself and has been set free.
     Well, it seems some people ignore messages from TAC and continue cheating. People. It's simple game. You vs me. Your knowledge vs mine. I've not been appointed TAC to drink beer and get medals. I am here to make sure noone who is cheating will go without punishment. No matter how hard you try, I will catch you. I know everything about pilot file and HSs checking, so please, better stop cheating.

Final word:
     My office is always open, and you can find me on IRC. Don't hesitate to ask or mail me. Visit Tactical channel #tac and ask question there. Cya next week
