Commodore's speech

Hi all.

This report does not bring the good news I had hoped for. Unlike our sistership, it seems we have a lot more pilots who are not around anymore.... Where the Warrior faces a single AWOL in the next few days, we're in the double digits. I have sent a last email out earlier today, but this Tuesday we will unfortunately lose those who have failed to respond.

-----

In case you missed it, CM Hav Antiel has found the duties of a Commander are taking up too much of his time, and he has decided it is in the best interest of Epsilon if he were to be replaced. Although such insight is commendable, it does leave us with a new problem. Applications have been opened up and will remain open until tomorrow. I hope to be able to appoint a new Commander on Tuesday!

The good news this week is that we have one more MSE medal from January on the way which seems to have gotten lost somewhere. Just in time :)

The Hammer's February Frenzy competition is almost over. All Hammer pilots are encouraged to make a last ditch effort for their squadrons, as you have until tomorrow to submit stuff.

The code I developed a while back and use for the picture rounds in this competition will be developed further so all Commanders and above can use it if they so desire. The main advantage to this is that with trivia, the outcome will no longer be decided by whoever reads the email first.....

Big news of course, lest I forget, is a round of promotions in the upper echelon: VA Plif was promoted to Admiral, and AD Pellaeon was promoted to Fleet Admiral. Congrats kiddos! I guess I have a little while left as the highest ranking officer in the TIE Corps (only counting active ones...)

To my shame, I forgot to mention the big party we had on the Hammer last week. Guess I had a little too much of that Chalquilla, but in my defense - it was an excellent vintage! A very belated kudos to CM Silvius who was awarded the rare Gold Star of the Empire after several consecutive months of dominating MP activity. Enjoy it!

For the rest, it's been a pretty quiet week, although I am working on some code for the COO Office. But that's still a quiet week.

Lastly, I'd like to remind all Commanders to send me their MSEs ASAP.
 

 
Wing Commander's Corner

There have been complaints. About me.

THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS!

ABOUT ME

Now I don't know which one of you is responsible for that, but I'd better not find out. Here I am, trying to do a good job to keep you guys motivated, and people are complaining.

That I'm too loud.

That I'm abusive.

That I scare them.

Oh boy.....

    Commodore's Competitions

    Hammer's February Frenzy

    Each week in February the Hammer's pilots shall be pitted against one another in several tasks, 4 each week. Each task will yield a winner, and to make things fair you will be given 2 flying task (TIE and SC) and 2 non-flying (photo IDs and online game) tasks every week. Per round and per task, the best performances with an IS-S* and IS-B*. Also, for each task you complete, you will earn points: 5 pts for 1st, 4 pts for 2nd, etc. 5th and below will get 1 pt. At the end of the competition, all your points will be added to determine the winner, and there will be an IS-GR/SR/BR for the top 3 finishers. As a twist, all pilot points will also count towards a squadron total, giving the two commanders with the best performing squadrons an additional IS-SR/BR. Specifics will be sent to the Hammer mailing list on Mondays.

  • week 4 TIE Fighter: Assigned mission: TIE free 274. The objective is to win getting as many kills as possible
  • week 4 Star Conflict: Fly a PvE match - The quickest win is what counts here
  • week 4 picture round: address: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=925137 - name the building and the city it is in, whoever gets most in the least amount of time wins
  • week 4 gaming round: London Rex - http://www.in.com/games/playgame-london-rex-61205.html - highest score wins

    please not the following:

  • for Star Conflict PvP and PvE I'm referring to the classic style game modes - PvP means against other people, and PvE means the original PvE game types, so no PvP bot matches
  • for the picture round, 'shortest time' does not mean 'first to send me the answers' - your time starts when you open the assigned URL and ends when you submit your answers.
  • for the picture round, not that you must submit all answers at once, you cannot submit a few and continue at a later point.

     
    Dempsey's Weekly Screenshots

    Every week, the report will have a screenshot. First pilot to send the correct answer to the mailing list wins. Each victory earns you an IS-BR. Unless it's a 5th victory, you then get a IS-SR. Unless it's a 10th victory, which gives you an IS-GR. A 25th victory will give you an IS-PR!
