Vortex Weekly Squadron Report #5

Today is Friday the 17th October 2003
Last report on Thursday the 9th October 2003

Fiction for a good start:

ISDII Grey Wolf, Storage Room 21b

Tons of pillows everywhere.

Carefully collected, stolen or nicked.

Sorted in equal rows and collumns.

Each one labeled after it's previous owner.

Wide alley in the middle.

Locked door at the end of the alley.

Opened only by a golden key card hidden... Well I can't tell where...

Next room covered with a mysterious half-darkness.

And at the end of the room..

At the standard, green table...

Pillow Office's secret...

...small figures of Stormtroopers.

...

Sarin wouldn't be too happy if he could know the number of their current pieces.

Vortexian Leader's Office:

Greetings everybody! Another week has passed - we're closing to the great Supremacy Competition! The competitions that I've started some time ago are finished now... well one is... see the details below. We have another recruitment competition now - everybody recruit!

- Squadron

1. Activity is low... I have only two pilots active. Including me. Remember! Activity is when you fly a battle, make a course, fly a MP match, write a fiction, make a GFX, make a webpage, participate in competitions, and so on. It's not too hard to do that!
2. The Ban the Vortex competition ended. I have two submission and I've chosen a better one. The winner is LC Kodiak Kereban. Another IS-BR for him will arrive shortly.
3. The Deadline for the Shield and Catch the Vortex in the Web competitions was 15th October. However no one decided to make an entry. The medals will be awarded for the first submission I'll get. The medals are now extremaly easy to win!
4. I was several days on a leave. Nothing happened however.
5. Kodiak hits the magical number of 1 3 3 7 FCHG points. Congratulations Elite!
6. I am the new moderator of our Message Board forum. It took a long time to get it...
7. We have a new banner. See it at the squads roster!
8. And lat but not least - we will soon have a new member ! Probaably even this week! He is showing himself on #wingxiii and seems to be a great MP pilot.

Vortex CMDR's EH site of the week:

If you need help in playing a custom mission you go of course to the:

Science Office:

http://www.minos.net/~sco/

This week I had a problem with one mission. Only thing what I needed for a battle was a simple Patch from the Science Office. You want to add B-Wing or TIE Defender to XvT? You would like to fly around the Sovereign itself in XWA? Wanna try to make shuttles flayable in TIE? SCO's site is what you need!

CMDR's Final Notes

The activity is very low. I can see only Kodiak and myself working on our activity. However we still have some hope - the new member is coming to the squad. Please give him a warm welcome.

Let's hope that the Imperial Storm will begin soon for the simple flyers like us ;)
Expect the e-mail from me in the middle of the week.

I am really sorry for all grammar, language, stylistic, letter etc. mistakes.
