Sin Squadron Report #95 August 23rd, 2020
Reporting Commander: Colonel Zekk Terrik

Squadron News & Commentary
Greetings from the desk of the Commander, everyone. After spraining my foot a week and a half ago, I can almost walk normally, just a little bit hobbly. Also unfortunately, the Avalanche lost to Dallas tonight 5-3. Anyway, on with the report!
Raise the Flag is starting SOON, as in about a week and a half. We have received the preliminary rules in officer chat, but waiting for the approval to discuss it with our squadrons. Watch out Hammer and Challenge...we’ve been getting ready!
LT EvilGrin is hosting a double elimination XvT knockout tournament, currently all members of Sin are in the second chance bracket. I have to play CPT Coremy at some point, and the winner can go on to lose to CM Genie.
MSEs are going to be processed in roughly a week and a half here, so if you want to get in any last minute activity, now is the time! We also regret the passage of LT NukeSnicks to the Reserves, but he is staying in #sin, so feel free to say hi to him!
Did you catch the latest episode of The TIE Pilot Podcast? If not you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClWwyo_q29E&feature=youtu.be If you are interested in being on the show or have an idea for it, please reach out to me or LCM Jack Wynand!
Sin Trivia can be found here: https://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=416506 This begins Monday.
Sin On Patrol will be XvT Free 52. TIE Golf will be XvT Free 53. This will be due the same date. The current missions still have one day to be submitted. If you don’t know what they are...then...read the damn reports! This will be due September 6th at 11:59 PM PST.
The Know Your Enemy competition has been canceled, but please reach out to me if you have interest in reviving it.
We continue to see a large influx of recruits and seeing our numbers swell, please make sure you greet them in Discord and Telegram!
Colonel Horus Blackheart has been hosting a PVP shootout, every Saturday at 3 PM PST, with more to come. You may find the details here: https://tc.emperorshammer.org/combat.php?id=156 Looked like a good turnout today!
Competitions
Here are the following competitions that Sin is participating in, whether squadron-only or part of the whole TIE Corps. As always I encourage you to visit the Competition Center (https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current ) to brush up on what’s going on in the TC as a whole. Keep an eye out for the Command Staff’s reports as they contain important information and competitions.
Sin Squadron Trivia - https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3092 This will end every Sunday night. I have changed the rules slightly...beginning this week, you will be awarded an IS-SR for every FIFTH victory. Everyone’s victories are reset to zero.
Sin Squadron On Patrol - https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3091 The bi-weekly free mission where you can earn an IS-BW for the top score every two weeks!
The Adventures of Sin Squadron – Submit anything, and I mean quite literally anything (minimum half a page because John was mean about it), to your CMDR for inclusion in the squadron report and receive a brand new shiny IS-BR! Receive an IS-SR for every 5 submissions! Ask me how (just email it, dummy). Graphics are also acceptable, or really just any creativity!
Sin Top Gun - https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3121 Who is the finest (and most active?) pilot in all of Sin?
TIE Golf – https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3123 Do you suck at flying too? Finally, a mission I can compete in! That’s right – you will compete for the worst possible score!

Closing Comments
I’d really like to see a lot of improvement in activity – things such as participation in trivia, or the TciB. I was disappointed to not see Sin have much representation in the XvT tournament. We must get ready for Raise the Flag, because the Hammer and Challenge are in for a rude awakening! Let’s wake up a little!
