    Another week, another report.

    Squadron activity isn't too high at the moment. As usual, there was fluight activity from myself and MAJ Clark, as well as non flight activity from myself, MAJ Clark, and Col Bubba. Nice to hear from you again, Bubba!

    The new weekly competition, Dempsey's Weekly Riddles has gone off to a flying start, with our COM taking down the first medal. A small squadron competition has also finished with MAJ Clark again taking a victory.

    Dempsey's Mobile Gaming Mania has commenced, with 11 out of 31 days for your submissions now behind us. So far, we have one pilot who has submitted a screenshot. Still, with the rest of the month to go I expect there to be more!

    Good news for those who have to submit a lot of screenshots for Star Conflict: CM Doc has written a little Python script that will facilitate you. Get it from the mailing list now. And go harass the out of the COO's Office. They only have 200+ pending MP reports, let's see if we can break 500 :)

    As a side note to that, I'm glad to finally see someone other than me submit screenshots for the COM's StarConflict competition. That still leaves a few pilots though, who are flying, who are submitting screenshots for the COO, but don't fwd them to the COM. I wonder why...

    To those who use an iPhone (shame on you!) - it seems VA Crsepe has found the iPhone equivalent for this month's moibile game in Dempsey's Mobile Gaming Mania. It looks the same, though not 100% sure - google also says there's a game by this name for Android.... So it would be nice if someone could verify this. If not, I'll just award two medals: one for the Android winner and one for the iPhone winner! Google your local App Store for Pirate Finger Slayer Challenge !

    There's not much else to report I'm afraid. Perhaps next week!
     

      In the headlines this week

  • TC Pilot's Manual pending approval by the FC
  • CM Doc releases Python script for MP reporting
     
    •   Riddle of the week

    My first year here I had a weekly joke. Last year, a weekly funny image. This year, a riddle. First pilot to send me the correct answer wins. Pilots are encouraged to send their answers to the entire mailing list, and so sending a reply is only useful if your answer hasn't been sent in yet! Each victory earns you an IS-BR. Unless it's a 5th victory, you then get a IS-SR. Unless it's a 10th victory, which gives you an IS-GR. A 25th victory will give you an IS-PR! (details and medal structure pending approval by TCCOM!)

    This week's riddle: I have no brothers and sisters. But this man's father is my father's son. Who is this man?

    Last week's winner: VA Elwood the Brave

    Current standings: VA Woody: 1

    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.
