Thunder Squadron PatchSQUADRON NEWSThunder Squadron Patch
Welcome Thunder Pilots to this weeks report!
Thus ends my first week as Squadron Commander. Still wading through the administration of getting things switch over and learning the ropes of what’s what. Tomorrow goes out the first of the trivia questions for the week 48. These are to difficult so I expect that you all will find it only mildly challenging if at all. This weeks Thunder TIES on Tour is TIE-TC 1. If you can fly it please do. Four more pilots complete this and Thunder squadron will receive a Citation. There is currently a Flight leader position open. If you think you have what it takes to lead, then I encourage you to apply.
Thunder Squadron PatchCOMPETITIONS AND EVENTSThunder Squadron Patch
Wake me up when November ends
This is the big Challenge wide competition of the year. Every week we will play 4 games: Flying (Single player and Multiplayer), Movie quote trivia, Image trivia and an online game. The trivia will be played via the Timed Events option on the TC website. Screenshots for Multiplayer and online games need to be emailed to me, and for the Single player competition you can simply forward me the BSF email. Each week starts at the release of my COM report on Sunday, and ends the next Saturday at midnight CET. There is also a 5th game: Fiction. Each pilot can submit upto 3 fictions to participate, but only one fiction will be taken into consideration for the rankings (unless the total of fictions received is less than 5). For every game, each week the top 10 pilots will be awarded points: from 1st to 10th place you will earn 20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 points. With exception to the Fiction, which will only yield points at the end of the month, and for the top 5 fictions: 20, 15, 10, 5, 3 points.
Each week, every game will see its winner, with the top 2 pilots for that week earning Iron Stars (Silver and Bronze Wings/Ribbons). At the end of the competition, pilot scores will be tallied per game over all 4 weeks and the top 3 pilots win (Gold/Silver/Bronze Wings/Ribbons). The scores for each pilot will also be tallied over all submissions during the entire month, with another (Gold/Silver/Bronze Wings/Ribbons) up for grabs. There's an extra medal to be had if a single pilot manages to grab the win in 2 games, and one if a pilot manages to grab the win in 3 games. As an extra bonus, there's two more medals available: the pilot who has the highest score wins his Commander and IS-SR, while the squadrons that accumulates most points over all pilots wins its Commander an IS-GR.
Photo round This week's photo round focusses ona little biology as we wonder about the animal kingdom. So - which animals are these?

Pilot's Arena The object of the game is not to reach the highest score, or fly the most missions, or complete the most objectives. I will give you a target score. Whoever gets closest wins. This ensures that even a newbie pilot fresh out of the Academy has a shot at winning! For the MP part, you must be on the winning side of course.
Single player segment: XWA free #150; target: 2,123 pts
Multi player segment: Star Conflict, Player vs AI; target: 981 pts (any game type will do)
What did you say? This game revolves around movie quotes. But it won't always be as simple as identifying the movie! Even though this week that is exactly what I wish to know as we play I'm talking to you. This week, the objective is to tell me the name of the character who the following lines were spoken to. I expect this round will be a lot harder than the previous two. Let's see who can prove me wrong by getting all 10 correct!

Online insanity This game will be playing on online game. The object of the game is to reach the highest score you can. Screenshots to be taken with score clearly visible of course.
This week: Kill the corona virus! https://www.bgames.com/shooting-games/kill_the_coronavirus/
Musings of a madman This is not a weekly game, but this will run the entire month. Write a fiction. It can be about whatever you want it to be, feature whatever you want, and can be as long as short as you want, with any writing style you desire. The only stipulation is that somehowb it has ot feature the Challenge or one of its pilots. All submissions will be submitted to the Warden's Office at the end of the competition. You can submit up to three fictions per pilot, but each pilot is eligible for only one medal, and one set of points. If there's less than 5 pilots submitting, this last stipulation is rescinded.
Current results:
Week 3 is done. Firebird takes a commanding lead, scoring more points than the other three sqwuadrons combined. Are they unstoppable now? The photo round was hard this week, as only 1 pilot managed to get all 10 animals correct! The movie quotes made up for that, with half the entries scoring 10 correct answers.
