Commodore's speech

Well, September is over, so you can wake me up again. September was a very quiet month for me with roughly speaking 2 MP matches in 3 weeks, an all time low in my entire TC career..... Let's hope that ends.

On to the good news: LT Michael LeRoy received his long-awaited promotion to Lieutenant Commander, many many kudos on that to you. And I have a feeling more are on their way, as not only this LT, but also LT Dan-Elin is fully back to active duty, and I spoke with LT Syntrth on IRC this week who is also finding time for the TC again!

September ends, October starts, so September MSEs are due on my desk as soon as possible. Two of them were already submitted yesterday, two more to go :)

And with the start of October, so starts the October Onslaught competition. This is what I feel sets the Hammer aside from the Warrior: twice a year, I run a ship-wide month-long competition offering chances and opportunities for all, both in the flying and the non-flying parts of the TIE Corps. We have had the February Frenzy, One Hammer to Rule Them All, and now the October Onslaught. This is YOUR chance to shine!

Lastly, many kudos to GN Coranel Both on his 15th anniversary as a member of the TIE Corps, GN Golbez Harvey on his 12th, and GN Dunta Polo on his 9th! What's up with all these generals this month.....
 

 
Wing Commander's Corner

I am looking forward to participating in the COM's big competition, I hope everyone else is too. Don't forget, it's not just the weekly medals up for grabs, but a great performance will also reflect in October's Evaluations. I expect all pilot's to do their best, and beat me in this competition. There will be latrine duties for all who fail to impress me!

Getting only 2 answers to yesterday's trivia is NOT a good start, people!

    October Onslaught

    In general

    Everything that has to do with time will be issued via the TC website (you must be logged in to access the appropriate page). Your time will start when you open the page, and will end when you submit your solution. Bear in mind that you can only submit your solution ONE TIME, because you won't be able to access the submission form again. You can, however, close your browser window between opening the page and submitting your solutions. In total, I am olffering up 2x IS-GW, 5x IS-SW, 5x IS-BW, 4x IS-GR, 7x IS-SR, 11x IS-BR, so there's plenty of chances to grab yourself at least one of these 35 medals!

  • assignments given via the TC website should be submitted via the website
  • assignments given via e-mail should be submitted via e-mail but only to me, and not to the ISDII Hammer mailing list!

    Flying

    4 weeks - 4 flying tasks. As usual with me, I won't be going for "best of the best" or "high score" since that seriously limits the chances of most pilots. Instead, the goal will be something achievable by all!

  • week 1:
  • Star Conflict PvP Efficiency - fly a Star Conflict PvP mission and the tier of your choice and get as close to 555 efficiency points as possible. In case of tie, missuion time will be the tie breaker.
  • week 2:
  • TIE Fighter points - details TBA
  • week 3:
  • Star Conflict PvE Kills - details TBA
  • week 4:
  • TIE Fighter kills - details TBA

    Non-flying

    4 weeks - 4 different tasks that have nothing to do with flying!

  • week 1:
  • Seven Degrees of Separation - get from A to B in as few clicks as possible. In case of a tie, the site-recorded time will be the tie breaker.
  • week 2:
  • Music Video screenscots - details TBA
  • week 3:
  • Flash Game Victory - details TBA
  • week 4:
  • Riddle me this, Dempsey - details TBA

    Fiction

    For this comnpetition, you will have the entirety of the month, so no 4 different fictions, that would be asking too much :)

    Objective: write a fiction between 1500 and 5000 words (no joke - you are limited). Also, in some way, the fiction should be about one of the Hammer's expeditions for the TIE Corps. Be sure to highlight your own role in this expedition. I don't care if it's exploration, defense of the Empire, expansion, pirates or New Republic, it's your choice.

    Fiction

    you will receive a trivia question in your e-mail each day. 3 points for the 1st correct answer, 2 points for the second correct answer, 1 point for every other correct answer. Weeks begin on the 1st, 9th, 16th and 23rd.

    Medal Structure

    First off, there's a points structure: the week's winner earns two points, every other qualifying participant earns 1 point.

  • The flying competition will yield:
    an IS-SW and IS-BW for the top 2 pilots each week
    an overall IS-GW/SW/BW for the top 3 pilots over the month
    a bonus IS-GW if 1 pilot wins all 4 weeks
  • The non-flying competition will yield:
    an IS-SR and IS-BR for the top 2 pilots each week
    an overall IS-GR/SR/BR for the top 3 pilots over the month
    a bonus IS-GR if 1 pilot wins all 4 weeks
  • The trivia competition will yield:
    an IS-BR for the top pilot each week
    an overall IS-GR/SR/BR for the top 3 pilots over the month
    a bonus IS-GR if 1 pilot wins all 4 weeks
  • The fiction co mpetition will yield:
    an IS-GR/SR/BR for the top 3 fictions
    The COM will submit all fictions to the Warden and the Editor (which should give a LoA)
