    With the new TC site up, I'm glad to say I have yet to encounter any problems. The ones we had were enocuntered by other people...

    Fortunately, an e-mail issue turned out to be gmail's fault and not the site's. Improvements are always being worked on.

    Next up, we have finally begubn the process of decrypting the entire mission compendium, so we can put unencrypted versions up for people who have trouble using the EHBL. Unfortunately, for the time being that means manually installing the files into the correct folders, but there is an offer on the table, so we might be able to whip up a new EHBL that can handle unencrypted files properly.

    The Karana Inititive 4 is underway, with the SOO being in possession of the battle which he will distribute shortly. Thanks to HA Frodo March for testing it and fixing an issue. When it's done I hope to have a fiction ready with perhaps more flying fun to take us another step closer to getting rid of these pesky Void Raptors.

    No, I didn't forget. Well, actually I did until I started compiling this report. Don't worry, as soon as this one's out I will be recommending all the medals for Dempsey's Anniversary Bash. That should cause a nice big flood of e-mails, let's hope the server can take it. That's 29 medals which should generate well over 100 e-mails delivered :)

    Two pilots unfortunately are closing in fast on the moment where I will have no other choice but to shipp them off to the M/FRG Phoenix.. I hate to do this to Frodo, but perhaps he can smack some sense into them....

    Lastly, good news! It seems we have a new pilot joining the ranks. Welcome, SL Len Eode, and may your stay with us be a fruitful and joyous one! And no, with 'us' I mean the TC, not Delta squadron.
     

      In the headlines this week

  •   Joke of the week

    A couple had two little boys ages 8 and 10, who were extremely mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame.

    The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, and asked to see them individually.

    So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

    The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"

    They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open.

    The clergyman repeated the question. "Where is God?"

    Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed. "Where is God!?"

    The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

    When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

    The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in big trouble this time! God is missing and they think we did it!".
