    •   Commander's notes

    First off - Congrats to Quincy Nelson - with his MP acrtivity this week he bumped his FCHG Rank from Knight to Pakladin!

    Mailing list is still swamped. I did manage to catch an email mentioning the return of Jakob van Nowak, Doyon and the arrival of a new cadet. Welcome all!

    On a squadron level, things are slowing going on as they always have. Trivia and other competitions participation is lower than I had hoped. Which is good for those who do participate as it's easier to win that way! MAJ John T. Clark knew that too, and bagged his third trivia win in a row this week! Grats on that!

    Flight activity is definitely picking up a bit, with two pilotfiles in my inbox and a whole lot of LoCs being delivered. Nice going guys!

    Unfortunately, last month's activity yielded the smallest amount of MSE medals ever to arrive to Delta, with only Major Clark and myself receiving one. Let's hope that will be better next month!

    Also, I have decided to again open up the position of Flight III Flight Leader. If anyone is interested, drop me a mail (and CC the TCCOM and SOO). Not much is required, except a nice level of activity and a weekly Flight Leader report. Perhaps a chance for some of the lower ranked pilots to get a promotion!

    The Wiki Quest competition is entering its third week. Last week was a bit harder than the first week, but that was intentional :)
     

      In the headlines this week

  • January MSE medals awarded to MAJ Clark and myself
  • SOO on leave
     
    •   Joke of the week


     
      Delta's Wiki Quest

    The task ahead is simple, my apprentices: below you will find two articles on (the English version of) wikipedia, and two articles on Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki. The task for both is to get from one to the other in as few clicks as possible. Whoever scores the least amount of clicks wins.

    Medals to be won: an IS-BR for every weekly winner of each quest, and an IS-SR and IS-BR for the overall winner/runner-up at the end of the month.

    Each click used gives you a 1 point penalty from your week's starting total of 10 points, so everyone begins with 40 points. At the end of the month: whoever scores the lowest number of points has won!

  • Last week's results
    We started off easy and did I know it: We have 3 players this week and they're very close....
    So this week is a tad harder :)

    •   Important Competitions

    Competitions are the livelihood of this thing we do for fun. I encourage all of you to enter as many competitions as you want to/can. And just let me know about it! Don't forget to check out the website for more information.

  • Delta's Weekly Trivia
    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.

  • Delta's Wiki Quest
    Each report in February: 2/2, 9/2, 16/2, 23/2) will hold a wiki challenge
    for you: one on Wikipedia and one on Wookieepedia. I will give you two
    random articles, and the object of the game is to get from one to
    the other in as few clicks as possible. Each week there will be a winner
    on each wiki.
    Each week you will score points: 10 minus the number of clicks you submitted.
    At the end of the month, the one with the highest score overall wins.
    Submissions are accepted until the next report is released.

  • Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each mission flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • MP Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each multiplayer victory flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • Star Conflict's Beacon Hunt
    This will be a test of your skill to capture as many beacons as you can in one round with a victory.
    In layman's terms, in a Beacon Hunt mode game, capture the beacon as many times as you can in one round.

  • Mjölnir?! Whatever...
    Submit your ideas for the ISD Hammer's nickname and motto to the SOO!
