Commodore's speech

Hello again, pilots of the ISD-II Hammer.

An interesting week has gone by. Participation in the trivia has gone up, participation in the non-flying has gone down, and participation on the flying levels off at a meagre 2 submissions....

On to the good news: SL Nathan Cole joined us this week, and didn't take a long time to earn his first promotion to full lieutenant. He's flying, he's doing the October Onslaught. I foresee great things in your future!

Also, LT Anaba earned his Commendation of Bravery this week. Good job!

Next up - the MSHipE was submitted to the SOO. A little later than I would have liked, but that was entirely my fault....

And the Warden has started some fiction competitions. I really need to make some time to do those.

The TAC his issued another email about his status. His LoA has been extended for two more weeks, but dare I say things would appear to be better that expected? Not sure there, just hoping it is.
 

 
Wing Commander's Corner

Trivia participation is up, which is good. Unfortunately, only 3 people submitted answers for the music video trivia. The best result there is 14 correct out of 15, so the COM did a real good job making this a hard one.... On to the 3rd part of this competition!

And there's a little good news as well: in the non-flying part, COL Clark is still going for that bonus IS-GR, having now won both rounds. In the flying part, the bonus IS-GR is off the table with two different winners. In the trivia, LC Silvius is still trying to get his bonus IS-GR, with a victory in both weeks. Keep it up guys!

Unfortunately, this week marks a 4th week in a row with little to no activity from our COM. Life's busy these days I suppose! It just goes to show you that even our own COM gets to that point from time to time, so no biggie if your time is limited as well here and there!

    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!

    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 - FINISHED
  • week 2:
  • TIE Fighter points - FINISHED
  • week 3:
  • Star Conflict PvE Kills - get as close as you can to 33 kills (assists not counted) in a game of Defense Contract at the tier of your choice
  • 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 - FINISHED
  • week 2:
  • Music Video screenscots - FINISHED
  • week 3:
  • Flash Game Victory - Play the Bubble Spinner flash game - most points wins.
  • 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.

    Trivia

    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)
