I expect several people to reach the final rank in the game (General) next month. It will be awhile before people
start reaching serious Secret Order ranks though!
If you read my email, you'll know I decided to skip the requirement of using a fresh pilotfile for each battle. You can use the same
pilotfile everytime. This will allow you to gain ranks and rack up more points. An extra IS-SW has been added
to the competition for all those who manage to reach the final rank in the Secret Order of the Emperor: The Emperor's
Reach.
Unfortunately, the Mobile Gaming Mania stayed stuck at two entries. Maybe I'll run it again in the future,
but not this month.
I'm also very happy with myself - this week I broke the barrier of 500 MP victories with the counter now standing
at 501 :) Thanks to COM Woody - I've been flying a helluvalot of StarConflict with him these weeks )with, not against),
and winning by far most of them.
As another month is over, it also means the next MSE is due. And we've only barely recovered from the last one. Go Hammer!
To all those who bought LucasArts games on gog.com - remember to check back there once in awhile. They regularly release updates for the games you bought,
which you van download at no additional cost. X-wing Alliance and Dark Forces were updated earlier this week! I assume it's minor bug fixes.
Speaking of GOG - this week they released even more games - Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, Republic
Commando and Star Wars Starfighter have been added to the collection. And still they're not done, as we're still
waiting for things like Jedi Academy to be released!
We have our first 2-time winner in the weekly riddles competition, as COM Woody took down
last week's riddle. Who will be the first to 5?
Not much more to say. I hope the X-wing version of the GOG games will see some submissions soon. Don't wait till the last moment to fly them -
the game has no in-game cheats to use, and there's more missions than in a TIE battle!

Grats to me and Woody on our Silver Stars of the Empire for December!
HA Frodo is still missing in action. I wonder how many Twi'lek girls he's with right now....
More games released on GOG!

Every week, the report will have a riddle. First pilot to
send the correct answer to the mailing list wins. 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!
This week's riddle: A bag is filled with 5 marbles, 3 of which are blue and 2 of which are red. Tessa, Michelle and Julia
each randomly pick one marble from the bag and place it so that they cannot see which color marble they picked. However, Tessa can see which marbles
Michelle and Julia have picked, Michelle can only see the marble that Julia picked, while Julia cannot see any marbles at all.
First, Tessa is asked if she knows which marble she has, and she says no.
When the same question is then asked of Michelle, she also says no.
When lastly we ask Julia which color marble she has, she says yes, and she will be right.
Explain how Julia knows the color of her marble.
Last week's winner: VA Elwood the Brave
Current standings: VA Woody: 2; COL La'an, CPT Fenn: 1

Time to evaluate this month and compare it to my goals for the year (are you doing the same?)
be promoted to Imperator in the Fleet Commander's Honor Guard (232/307 points done - 76%)
be promoted to Tan in the Combat Ratings (144/633 done - 23%)
earn at least 150 IS-*W medals (35/150 done - 23%)
close at least 200 bug reports (0/200 done - 0%)
If you paid attention you'll see I changed my goal for the combat rating, it was Ace 4th (already reached) so now I'm gunning for the top spot! As usual, the closing of bug reports is behind schedule. Overall though, I'm happy with my progress :)
