TIE Corps News and Competitions |

Competition Reminder - TIE Golf InvitationalOur own CPT Jagged Fell III is currently running a nine-round TIE Golf tournament! If you haven't played TIE Golf before, the goal is pretty straightforward: obtain the lowest possible score without hitting 0! There's a few extra conditions (no cheats, no destroying friendlies, laser scores will be normalized so that you don't benefit in TIE Fighter from firing at nothing), but in general, it's all about completing a mission while doing the absolute least possible! Each round, a new free mission will be chosen, with possible platforms including TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, or TIE Fighter Total Conversion. An IS-BW and IS-CW will be awarded weekly to the two pilots with the lowest score. An IS-GW, IS-SW, IS-BW and IS-CW will be awarded to the top four pilots with the lowest average per mission flown (provided at least 7 were flown). We're already three holes down, but it's not too late to join in! The latest hole is for TIE-FREE #104 and runs through Friday, November 8th! For more information, check out the competition details as well as the TIE Golf competition thread on the Discord server. And if you'd like to know more about TIE Golf as a competition, check out the EH wikipedia page for TIE Golf! |

Destiny 2 Event and Screenshot CompetitionWe have a Destiny 2 combat and event currently running! First, the screenshot competition! This one ends soon (November 6th), but I wanted to mention it. For this competition, all you need to do is submit a screenshot from Destiny 2. The only criteria for the screenshot is to show something cool! Judging will be based on perceived beauty, artistic interpretation, and creativity. Screenshots should be sent to CM Sam Arsio (samubefo@gmail.com) via email or Discord. For more information, view the competition listing. Second, the combat event! To coincide with Destiny 2's annual Festival of the Lost event, a Destiny 2 event is currently running from now through November 20th. For this event, EH members who play with other EH members will receive 1 ORA per 10 completed matches (win or lose), with a maximum of 1 ORA per week. Screenshots of completed matches with other EH players should be sent to CM Sam Arsio (samubefo@gmail.com) via email or Discord. For more information, view the combat event listing. If you don't have Destiny 2, you might be interested to know that the base game is free these days! If you'd like to give it a spin (even just to nab a quick screenshot), now might be a good time to pick it up! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about this platform or these events! |

Competition Reminder - SWTOR Conquest 2: The Search for More Conquest, Season 5Friendly reminder that there is an ongoing competition for SWTOR players for earning conquest points while being a member of one of the Emperor's Hammers guilds! The official guilds are on the Star Forge server ("Emperor's Hammer" for the Sith Empire and "Infiltrator Wing" for the Republic). Each week, the top three pilots in each faction that earn the most conquest points are awarded Iron Stars and "placement points", with placement points being used to determine monthly awards, as well as final standings for season awards and the title of Legacy Conquest Champion! Additionally, an ORA is given (up to two, one for each guild) for every pilot that earns over 100,000 conquest points. If you're a SWTOR player, I recommend reviewing the competition details for more information! Season 5 ends next month, on December 17, 2024. Please reach out if you have any questions! |
