REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Plif, Commodore
DATE SUBMITTED: 6 Jun 2018

First, here's GN Frown with our Raise the Flag score update:

Thank you, General. With one more day left in the first week of Raise the Flag, we've accumulated 985 points (which I've had to update several times as I worked on this report). That's actually a bit behind of where we were at this time last year, but it's more than enough to create a large gap in the scores between us and the Hammer at 214 points.

The TCCS is actually ahead of the Hammer as well. In previous years, the COO was isolated on the VSDII Aggressor, but with all three TCCS members flying for the ISDII Challenge this year, it'll be interesting to see if their combined might can earn second place at the end.

So far, nine Warriors have participated and gotten onto the scoreboard. For those of you that haven't turned in anything yet, there's still plenty of time and every point we earn helps us guarantee our fifth RtF victory!

Those nine Warriors I mentioned, big thanks to each of these individuals for helping us get a strong start on the competition:

• GN Pickled Yoda - 251 points
• CM Aldaric - 229 points
• Your fearless leader - 210.5 points
• COL Mark Schueler - 108 points
• LC Hav Antiel - 71 points
• LC Earnim Branet - 65.5 points
• CPT Rando - 43 points
• GN Exar Kit - 10 points
• GN Dunta Polo - 1.5 points

The first RtF bonus competition, Fiction, ends at midnight GMT on the 11th, so a little under five days from now. Looking for inspiration? Check out last year's RtF fiction and graphics entries from The Commodore.
