Well, once again Sin Squadron is the smallest squadron in the wing besides Rho Squadron which is inactive. But I'm actually very happy and pleased with the squadron. I'd rather have 5 active pilots than 9 pilots with 4 or 5 not active. We've all been busy this week and I hope we can all keep it up.
Squadron News
--------------
-The Wing 2 Pilot League is on it's second mission, FTIE-27 and it is due March 10th. It's a fairly simple mission and I hope we can all complete it. http://www.emperorshammer.ca/kappa/W2League/start.htm
-Wing 2 is in an FCHG points race with Wing 6. We are to fly, fly, fly as many missions from the mission compendium. Just forward all pilot files to me.
-LCM Desmos has been promoted to flight leader of Flight 3. He's proved himself a worthy leader in the past few months and I know he's someone I can depend on during tough times.
Squadron Orders
---------------
-fly FTIE-27 (War Room) by the March 10th Saturday and send it to algaron1@hotmail.com and give it to me too so I can process it.
-fly as many missions as possible for the Wing 2 vs Wing 6 competition. All missions are available at http://www.tiecorps.org/battles/battletypes.asp
-also, we're short on pilots; see if you can "assist" the cadets aboard the Daedalus Platform but remember, don't recruit (new policy). If the cadet asks you information about Sin Squadron, then you may give that information.
Fly to your hearts content...

CA:TAC2 / TCHC Sought
08:54 - AD StarLion [colstarlion@hotmail.com]
With the moving of Admiral Havoc to CA:FO, the position of CA:TAC2 is open. I will be accepting applications for this position starting now. Please keep in mind the following things.
A CA position is a Full Time position. You will be removed from all other positions, with extremely few exceptions.
You will spend hours going over Beta Tester Reports, organizing them, sending files to the Tacticians for correcting or to me for placement on the board, and flying corrected battles yourself. Ideally, you should be expected to be able to fly 7 battles in approximately 2 to 2 1/2 weeks.
It is REQUIRED that you own ALL major platforms (TIE,XvT,XWA).
It is REQUIRED that you be able to handle repetitive work, such as filing reports, and managing the team.
You MUST be able to answer email within an appropriate time (24/36 hrs at most).
Interested applicants should email Admiral StarLion with the subject of the email reading "CA:TAC2 Application"...any application without that subject will be ignored. If you try to ask me about it on IRC, your application will be ignored.
Applications will close March 10th.

SCOA Wanted
17:47 - FA Kermee [Kermee@softhome.net]
Yep, the Science Office is hiring again. I've decided to take on a Science Office Assistant to aid with news collection & misc duties. Primarily, the new SCOA's role will be to perform a daily check of several major gaming and editing news sites and to post details on any relevant items to the Science Office web site. Secondarily, the new SCOA will be asked to aid in various occasional duties such as patch testing, document reviewing & idea formulation.
The requirements for SCOA are as follows:
* Must be able to check several (6-12+) major web sites at least once a day.
* Must have a good command of the English language, able to type news items without typos or spelling errors.
* Must have a 24 hours email response time.
* Must be trustworthy and familiar with EH rules & regulations.
* Must have some familiarity with slicing terminology in at least one field or platform.
Applications should be emailed to Kermee@softhome.net, cc'ing darkhill@emperorshammer.ca with the subject of "SCOA Application". Applications should be sent no latter than Monday 12th March 2001, all applications will receive a confirmation of receipt. Please do not just list yourself as fulfilling the requirements but actually explain why you would make a better SCOA than someone else. Also note that bugging me on IRC about who has applied or what decisions have been made will not improve you chances.
ImperialAcademy.org accessable again (for some)
04:58 - HA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
It seems the updates I made to the ImperialAcademy.org domain have worked and are starting to filter through to the ISP-level. ISPs that now definitely work now include:
@home
BT Internet (UK)
T-Online (Germany)
AOL
Hopefully the changes should propogate through for everyone else and the domain will be working for everyone by Monday at the latest. Thanks for your patience in this matter.

EH Ladder is online!
02:06 - HA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
After many months, the EH Ladder is finally online. The ladder features divisions for X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, Jedi Knight and X-Wing Alliance. The ladder is pretty much automated. The only human interaction is the reporting of matches (and signing up, of course). The ladder code takes care of all the score/win/loss/draw incrementing, as well as the ladder displaying code and emailing off the pretty match confirmation emails (which are in colour-coded HTML, to match the colours of each ladder.). You can visit the ladder site at http://www.imperialacademy.org/ladder/.
