It's been a pretty quiet week. It was unavoidable for me,
as last week was the first for classes this semester. I've been pretty busy, so
I haven't been around as much as I usually am. With that out of the way, I can
say that the TCCOM is currently working on the next step of our big story arc in
the form of a pretty sizeable competition. It's still a ways away, but keep your
eyes peeled and your fighters warmed up.
The Dean continues to do an excellent job with my old office and has a new
course up this week. I'm also told that there will be more to follow soon, so
make sure you keep an eye on the IWATS page for some new courses available that
you may not have taken before!
On a side note, I'd like to thank the CMDRs for doing an excellent job with
their squadrons since the restructure. You've all done a great job of keeping
your squadrons happy and active, but also have been filing reports on time which
makes our lives in the Admiralty Board so much easier. Thank you!!
Recruitment. This is something that needs to happen if this restructure
is to succeed. If you have ideas, discuss it on the TC mail group! If you know
friends that may be interested in joining (even if it means borrowing your copy
of an XW game and having them only fly once a month), by all means talk to them
about it! In light of how desperate we are for new members and to really show
how big of a deal recruiting new members to our club right now is, for a limited
time I will be offering a Gold Star of the Empire for every three new
members you bring into active duty! That means both new recruits and
retired members. To be eligible for this award, you need to inform me of your
successful recruitment. I will then verify you are in fact the recruiter and
start a tally for you. Remember, if you do not inform me of your recruit, I
won't count it towards your tally! This is a limited time offer, and I will stop
offering the medal if it has absolutely no effect for a long period of time or
if it becomes extremely popular to the point where I cannot justify giving such
a high award any longer. So go out there and start recruiting! We only need a
couple new faces to open Wing I's remaining squadron, and just a handful more
until we can open Wing II!
