SQUADRON NEWS

Welcome Thunder Pilots to this week's report!

I am back from leave. Let me tell you, there is nothing like have to move and do it all by yourself to test your physical limitations. Moving also 80 miles / 129 Kilometers is also a big factor. Still. That is done now. I also showed Filial piety towards my aging Father and helped him out around the farm. Now that's work. Been awhile too. (Least that is what my back says!) SO... There are a few things in the works. For those of you who are choosing not to communicate much less read these reports; You're on noticed! I will be cleaning out the ranks of those of you who have gone AWOL without so much as a 'Hi, I am busy doing...'. There will be several emails sent out. This is your opportunity to get back to the basics. No answers will be treated as AWOL. (Read the pilots manual if you are not sure what that is.)

Imperal Storm is on the horizon. Unless you have some real life commentments that prevent you from particpating, I will expect all of you to jump in and do so. Even a little is better than none!


COMPETITIONS AND EVENTS

Thunder Trivia:

One trivia question, for a total of four questions during the weekday - points awarded to all, and whoever has most points at the end of the week wins an IS-BR.

Every month, the highest scoring pilot wins an IS-SR, and every pilot with 40 points or more wins an extra IS-BR.

Additionally, there are incentive IS-BRs awarded at 50, 100, 250 and every further 250 points

Thunder Trivia 11 postponed for the week, will hopefully be returning this coming week.

The Challenge with Words

Description: After a particularly bad batch of Chalquilla was distributed by Inferno Squadron, medical was inundated with severely hungover and somewhat illiterate members of the fleet. The tanks had been infected with a spore that ate sugar and spit out alcohol, like yeast. But, this spore also had a side effect, it secreted a neuro- inhibitor that ate away people’s knowledge. To help “stimulate” some learning, Inferno, along with the medical crew, have started sending out word puzzles to help the members of the fleet regain some of their lost knowledge.

Method: At the beginning of every month COL Marenta will generate a word search and post the link. Each month the puzzle will be related to something specific, planets, people, craft, manufacturers, wars, a movie/book/series, etc. At the beginning of the month, COL Marenta will announce the winners of the previous month and send out the next month’s puzzle.

Competition medals:

IS-GR for first and second correct submission
IS-SR for third, fourth, and fifth correct submissions
IS-BR for sixth through tenth correct submissions
IS-CR for completing the puzzle after the first ten entries.




TIE Corps in Battle Season Three:

One battle each from TIE, XvT, and XWA will be assigned monthly. Pilots will fly the battles and submit their pilot files through the database normally. The TCCOM receives a copy of all BSFs, so neither pilot files nor BSFs need to be forwarded to the TCCOM unless the submission gets queued in the database. In the case of a queued submission, send the pilot file to the TCCOM.

The pilot with the highest score each month in each platform will earn 8 points. The next highest score will earn 7, the next highest 6, then 5, then 4 and so on. All submissions will earn at least 3 points. Any mission high scores will earn 1 bonus point and any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points. High scores are determined at the time the BSF was submitted on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, both pilots will receive the bonus points if a processed high score is overtaken later by another pilot. Points will accumulate for the season for more awards and the overall top pilot will also receive the title TIE Corps Battlemaster.

The points earned by each pilot will also be added to their squadron's total and their ship's total. At the end of the season, the participants from top three squadrons and the top ship earn awards.

Lasts until 30 June

COMMANDERS CORNER

WORDS FROM OUR CMDR, MAJ Tygra Shadowclaw:
I will be depending on the Flight leaders to step up. You're in a position of leadership which means you have some additional duties beyond that of a standard Flight member. For those that haven't taken the TIE CORE course from the Imperial Academy, please do so. By not taking it you will limit yourselves to the Rank of Lieutenant and no higher. The course is not difficult and can be done in 30 minutes.


You all should be ashamed of yourselves for letting the Admiral just slap you silly in Trivia. She stood uncontested! No Chaquilla for a week and you all are flying CAP for the next Week! XO take 'em out and work them!


Congratualations HA Dempsey for a sweeping victory!
