BATTLECRY #11
It was released today even though tiecorps.org didn’t anounce it. I won the writing competition {by default, I know, but it’s still a good thing :)} so I pay attention to these things.

Other Wing Xers who have published fiction in Battlecry this month include COL Callista.

FICTION COMPENDIUM
Just like the mission one only for fiction in case you couldn't tell. It's only sort of up now. Still under construction, but those of us beefy authors can submit stuff early.

WING COMMANDER’S OWN

THE WEEKLY COW QUOTE!
“Truth, Sir, is a cow which will yield such people no more milk, and so they are gone to milk the bull.”
Samuel Johnson (1709–84), English author, lexicographer. Quoted in: James Boswell, Life of Samuel Johnson, 21 July 1763 (1791), said of the philosopher David Hume “and other sceptical innovators.”
Well...uh...that could be disgusting. But that’s two cow quotes from the same guy! He should get a prize; too bad he’s dead.

Everyone was talking this week! That’s outstandingly beefy. You can all get some candy from the big jar in my office. Hope you like beef-flavored taffy!

eGroups has been doing evil stuff and sometimes you emails don’t show up in my box! I reply to almost everything I get, so if you don’t get a reply, I didn’t get the email.

Arrivals - none
Departures - none

SQUADRON STATUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Kangaroo of the Week" competition is still waiting for someone to grab this ISM dangling in front of them. Challenge me to anything reasonable and try to hold the title {except for XvT ‘cause I don’t have that :(}


Sword squadron has challenged us to a competition. They say they have a score to settle with Thunder. Are we going to let them with their corny name beat us and shame us into hiding? "No" had BETTER be the answer you were thinking of! Fly FREETIE #121 (attached) by Jan 19th. We have to be a TEAM to win.
{It doesn't have a battle.lfd file I'm told. Rename the mission "b1m1fm.tie" and use the "battle1.lfd" from the TIE CD. Feel free to ask questions with the Thunder eGroups. We've all been too quiet lately. If your TIE isn't working, ask the squad. Someone will know how to fix it.}
