GoP saw again only 2 participants. And the winner stays the same week after week as it seams. IS-BW on its way to your inbox Repulsor.

There's been some discussion about games and platforms on the TC mailing list. Nothing THAT important though.

COMPETITIONS
Ace of the TC - TC-wide
Each mission flown earns you a point for the competitions. Whoever scores most points win. Each mission only counts once. The numbers on the KillBoard at the end of the month are the numbers that are tallied, missions not yet processed will count towards the next month. IS-GW/SW/BW monthly for the top 3 pilots on the website's Kill Board - IS-PW/GW/SW/BW for the top 4 pilots at the end of the year.

MP Ace of the TC - TC-wide
The MP Kill Board will used to keep track of points. Each LoC earns you a point for the competition, and a DFC counts for 5 points. Whoever scores most points win. The numbers on the MP KillBoard at the end of the month are the numbers that are tallied. If there are three participants then IS-GW/SW/BW, if only two IS-SW/BW, etc. XWA, XvT, Star Conflict, and Freelancer-Freeworlds are the authorized platforms for this competition.

Mjölnir?! Whatever... - TC-wide
So each and every squadron on Wing I has its nickname and motto well set, you see... Hell! Even the Wing itself happens to have its own nickname and motto coming from the time when we had all a Wing I Commander dooming from above.
But, alas! The ISD Hammer itself doesn't have any... and such a shameful situation shall be put to an end within the month. ALL members of the EH TIE Corps are called to send their submissions for ISD Hammer nickname and motto via e-mail to the SOO, RA Zósite K. Styles, while also CCing the rest of TC Admiralty, TCCOM HA Daniel Bonini and COO RA Crsepe.
Deadline is February 21st. IS-GR/IS-SR/IS-BR up for grabs if we manage to get 3 participants bothering us with the worst fruits of their rotten minds. IS-SR/IS-BR with only 2 participants. IS-BR with just one. 2-ranks free demotion for everyone with no participants.

Star Conflict's Combat Recon - TC-wide
During Combat Recon modes, survive as the Captain or kill the Captain. This will be an accumulated number for the month. If you survive as the Captain, mouse-over the medal that says you survived as captain so we know that you did.

Lambda Unleashed - TC-wide
Lambda needs a banner, simple as that. Ideally a variation on the 95th Fighter Squadrons "death with finesse" skeleton - but go wild and get creative, the cheesier the better! Open to all.

Gamma banner creation - TC-wide
Gamma needs a banner. No special requirements, just be creative and surprise me. Winner gets an IS-SR, follow up an IS-BR.

GoP - Gamma on patrole - Gamma only
Every week in my WSR I will announce a TIE Free mission or battle. All Gamma members (including me) then have until next weeks saturday 10:00 CEST (08:00 am UTC) to send me their pilot files for that mission/battle. Scoring will be laserless, as usuall for TIE comps. Best laserless score will be awarded an IS-BW. The participants each week will accumulate points according to their ranking. 1st will get 4 pts, 2nd 3 pts, 3rd 2pts and any other participant will get 1 point. The one with the most points at the end of the month will earn himself a shiny IS-SW, while the second at the end of the month will receive an IS-BW.

The pilot with the most points at the end of the week earn himself an IS-BR. Pilot with most points at the end of the month earns an IS-SR, runner up an IS-BR. For every 50 right answers of one pilot there will be an additional IS-BR for this pilot.

Gamma pilot of the months - Gamma only
For activities Gamma pilots earn points according to this list. Then one with most points when I write my last WSR in a month earns himself an IS-BR and the title "Gamma pilot of the month". The one with most points when I write my last WSR of the year earns himself the title "Gamma pilot of the Year" and an IS-SR, runner up an IS-BR.
Points to be earned:
- flown mission/mission within a batlle from the Battle Center = 1 point + 1 point per HS
- flown MP match = 1 point + 1 point per victory
- other TC sanctioned games played = 1 point/hour
- Gamma trivia = 1 point per right answer
- IWATS/IU course = 1 point per succesfully finished course + 1 point for perfect score
- None flying/IWATS comps = 1 point per submission, only 1 point per comp possible
- reporting in to me once a week = 1 point per week reported in
This scoring list might be edited to balance out the competition if any inbalance in the scoring system might occure.

SQUADRON ORDERS
1.) Report about activity before I release next weekly squadron report (approximately next Saturday around 11:00 UTC/GMT). Even if you did nothing you should still report and say that you did nothing.
2.) Keep activity on good level (IU/IWATS, flying or anything you can do). This club is about activity and fun, not just boring hang around.
3.) Participate in Competitions! Those are designed and run to give YOU something to have fun with.

FINAL WORDS

Gamma is doing well. MP activity is growing and SP activity is still at a high level. Trivia is also working out well. But there are some of us not yet involved in the SP/MP flying activity. Would be nice to get those into the move too and maybe get some flying done together.
