Always remember that when
you go to a multiplayer competition you need to know your pin number (which can
be found in your personal profile on the TIE Corps Home Page).
= [XvT & XWA] Outer Rim
Battles =
SATURDAY: 5PM - 12AM (EST) /
10PM - 5AM (GMT)
This
is a battle against the Rebel Squadrons group that is played online over the
IRC servers. I’ll admit that I don’t know so much about this competition as I
don’t attend it. Basicly, you just play against a Rebel pilot that is also in
the IRC channel #EhvsRS (Undernet servers) and send the results to the
supervisor (probably COO Havoc). You can win LoC medals in this competition is
you get a win.
This
is what the COO site says: -
Meets:
These
are the alotted times where a supervisor is present to record the results. All
games in this time period must be started from the Undernet channel, #EHvsRS.
If lag causes connection loss the game will be considered void. If a player
disconnects before end of a game, (when no lag is not cause), then they will
forfit the game and the remaining player wins. The COO must be consulted in
such a circumstance.

= [XWA] MS Zone Sunday =
SUNDAY: 1PM – 2:30pm (EST)/ 6PM – 7:30 (GMT)
This competition pits you up
against other pilots in the EH, and a LoC medal is given away for a win. This
competition is held in the Microsoft Zone (www.zone.com/xwingalliance) in the
main room. Usually most of the games start from room 31 down, so you should
have no problem finding another EH member to play against. Scores are based
upon kills and not points and are ZMed (Zone Message) to COO Havoc (or whoever
else has been put in charge).
To be able to play and be
recognised as an EH player you must have a prefix of EH_ before your zone nickname.
Just set up a nickname like you usually would, but star off with EH_.
The rules are similar to the
ones in the OR night, but I’ll take this opportunity to tell you about what is
counted as cheating.
There will be no running
away from your opponent, especially if you are winning. This annoys people to
no end.
You should report the game,
even if you have lost. Don’t try to get clever, as your opponent will find out
when they do not get their LoC. To avoid this happening, it is only usually the
victor who reports in the score. But, if they ask a favour of you to report it
for them, do so. You won’t get any friends cheating this way.
Be polite to whomever you
are playing. I know this sounds daft, but you may break the EH Code of Conduct
and get into loads of bother. Again, you won’t get many friends doing this
either.
And all of the obvious forms
of cheating are definitely no allowed. No cracks for your game will be allowed.
If they find out that you have a special invulnerability crack, all hell will
break loose, and you’ll be in a lot of bother.
= [XWA] Operation Imperial Storm =
Check the TIE Corps News Page to find out when the
next game is on.
This is a tough one to
explain, so I highly suggest that you go to this site that explains it.
http://www.xtc56.dial.pipex.com/ImpStorm.htm
All you really need to know
is that every so often a competition will be opened based upon Imp Storm. When
that time comes, you will have to play the members of your opposing side in a
ready-made skirmish mission. It will be played on IRC, and you will have to
check out the TIE Corps home page to see when the next game is on.
If you want to sign up then
you have to mail FO Kessler at kessler@btinternet.com
by the 25th March, when the competition starts up. Also notify your
Squadron Commander using CC on your mail.
But please look at the site
first to learn about it, it describes the competition very well. It also hold
the two patches you need for XWA to play in the competition.
= [ALL] Squadron and Wing Competitions =
Every so often you’ll be
informed that all of the pilots in your squadron or wing are to play a
particular mission for a competition. It will usually be mailed to you, but you
should be able to find it in the EH Battle Centre (www.tiecorps.org/battles).
All you have to do is fly
the mission, try to get a high a score as possible, and then send the player
file (.plt or .tfr) and a note of your score to your Squadron Commander.
You will eventually get the
results by mail, saying who had got the highest score, and if it’s a Wing
competition it will also say which Squadron won. They are usually rewarded with
medals.
=[ALL usually] Training Office Competitions =
The Training Office (http://www.domaindlx.com/astatine/to) regularly holds
competitions for the whole fleet. They usually have several competitions rolled
into one, so ever game is catered for, and then some.
Right now, TO Comp. #5 is
on. It is a long running competition for TIE Fighter, XvT and XWA pilots.
Simply down load the missions from the competition site (which you can find
through the TO site), play them, make a note of the score, get your player file
(.plt or .tfr) and send them into the TO staff member who is collecting them.
The site will hold all of the details needed.
= [TIE & XWA] League =
There are leagues open for
all of the squadrons entered (please check with your Commander). Every two
weeks a mission is played (available from the site or mailed by your Commander)
and you have to get a high a score as possible. Send your results the same way
as the Squadron competitions.
In a league, your squadron
is pitted against another squadron, and the victor is the one with the highest
score. These results are taken and put into table form. The squadrons doing the
best go to the top and the worst at the bottom. Each squadron is played a
number of times before a victor is achieved (the squadron at the top). Just
like sports are!
The site for the XWA League
is at http://members.tripod.co.uk/eh_badlands/co2/main.htm
The TIE League is to
re-start soon.
There are other types of
competition from time to time, but you can find out about them by keeping an
eye on the news page at the TIE Corps Home Page (www.tiecorps.org/news.asp).
