Competition Alert: Raise the Flag 2024It is that time again! As of this moment, Raise the Flag 2024 has begun! Raise the Flag is the annual TC-wide competition that challenges all pilots to complete as much activity as possible to determine the fleet flagship, TCCOM Escort Squadron, and TCCOM's Wingman, based on which battlegroup, squadron, and individual pilot score the most points in the month of September.The score tracker is now live at http://rtf.tsaunders.net/. You'll notice we have a bit of a head start on the other battlegroups! As the smallest battlegroup, we've been awarded some bonus points to help make up the difference in size. Fair warning though: that head start will evaporate quickly! Points are awarded for completing SP missions, PvE matches, PvP matches, and completing Imperial University courses. There's also two rounds of fiction and graphics competitions, where pilots are encouraged to submit a fiction and/or graphic based on a given prompt. Finally, pilots are also encouraged to submit memes about RtF, with a maximum of 20 acceptable submissions.For SP missions, points are awarded as follows...
For memes, submissions must be sent to tccom@emperorshammer.org. They can be awarded anywhere between 0 - 10 points, based on the grading criteria. The goal is for each meme to be memorable, creative, and to be EH-specific. For more information, I recommend viewing the grading criteria on the meme-specific competition listing. Remember - you only get 20 meme submissions for this competition! Points will be awarded for fiction and graphics based on ranking, although participation in each provides 200 points, so it's worth attempting something even if this isn't a particular skill of yours! Word count for fiction must be between 1000 and 4000 words and cannot be AI derived. Ranking is based on how the submission fits the prompt, a description of how it was created (particularly for art submissions), and evidence of the creation process (screenshots of the art being created). All submissions must be sent to the Warfare Officer (phoenixberkana@gmaill.com). The first round for fiction and art is now live and goes from now until September 14th, 23:59 UTC. The first round prompt involves launching operations to liberate the Tkon Rift once and for all! For more information, view the first round art competition listing and the first round fiction competition listing. For more competition details, check out the competition listing. I'll be posting updates throughout the competition on Discord, so I highly recommend keeping an eye on our channels this month! Good luck to everyone and have fun out there! |
