Psi Squadron
Report #7
11.9.2003 - CM Ras Kronar
- [ CMDR/CM Ras Kronar reporting in for Psi Squadron on Nov. 9th, 2003 ] -
- Random Fact/Thought/Quote of the Week: "Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most fools do."
Howdy Y'all.
Well let's see.. what to mention this week...
For starters the Random Fact/Thought/Quote of the Week has a theme this week! You must connect it with my ehh.. "saying" at the bottom of this rant. The theme has been inspired by the trouble surrounding ISIV... ;)
Wing II came out on top in the comp against the Grey Wolf and the Immortal. Psi showed excellent participation in this comp with both Zeth and Inkwolf taking home medals. They should hopefully be handed out shortly. Great work everyone!
The Beer Cup is proceeding nicely... I'm getting annoyed with TIE-TC 211.. I've failed mission 5 too many times on stupid things for it to be funny... and yet I'm gonna say "hehe". Get started early on that one if you're gonna fly it on hard and go for the secondary/bonus goals. I've found it to be harder than most TIE Battles. (which is a good thing if you ask me).
I've been in contact with the CMDR of Omicron. He's agreed to a Squadron Competition which will probably start on Monday the 17th and last for two weeks. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled to the inbox for further details. And start warming up those trigger fingers. ;)
I've updated the look of the Psi Website. The site is a work in progress... I hope to convert squadfirst totally at some point. I've given access to Zeth for updating the roster and the news (which has been done). The psi.minos.net redirect seems to be down so you can access the site at www.minos.net/~raskronar/squadfirst
It will be some time however before I upload the material from the old one, and start updating the site regularly. I have too many things going on right now that I feel are more important.
Also there might be some changes in the FL department... More on that at a later date.
I've rearranged the order of the competitions. They will now be featured after in the order:
Squadron
Wing
Ship
Other
And.. oh yeah! Activity has been excellent ;)
I think that's all for now.
So until next week, this is CM Ras Kronar saying what Euripides once said: "Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish."

4) Imperial Storm IV - The BG's Revenge
Well as you should have heard the skirmish had to be flown again cause of eh... "problems" :)
The refly took place saturday but was botched since all players were disconnected. At the time of the disconnect the battle could have gone either way. Look to the website to know when the battle will be tried again.
Keep your eyes peeled to your inbox for information on when, where, and what to fly!
Check out the main ISIV site at http://www.imperialmight.org/sovis/html/index.php
5) SSSD Sovereign Killboard
October ended and the results for that month were:
SovCOM's Own Wing: Wing II, yay!
SovCOM's Own Squadron: Delta Squadron, congrats!

6) TCCOM'S Own Banner competition
New Tie Corps Commanders Own Banner design. Contestants have one month (November 25th) to submit their banners. FA Cyric will judge the best banners, and pick the top three for awards.
Use "TCCOM OWN BANNER SUBMISSION" in the header of the e-mail or your submission will not be accepted. Send your submission to Cyric (jroscoe@comcast.net) and Reaper (Paul.reeves99@ntlworld.com)
7) Design the XO Site
From SA Astatine:
The current XO site isn't very good and hasn't been updated for a while. By the nature of the office, the XO site should be a nexus for some very important information within the EH. To address this, I'll need a new design, as the current one (at http://www.emperorshammer.net/xo/) is pretty basic.
The basis of the competition will be to design a "template" for the site, which should include graphics, menu elements, etc. The menu items on the current site can be used as a guide for the template. Everything else is left to your creative whims. Final submissions can either be hosted online, with the URL emailed to me (jpboyce@indigo.net.au), or the files themselves can be emailed to me. Submissions close on 30th November. The competition is open to all EH members. First place gets an Iron Star Gold Ribbon (or subgroup equivilant). Second and third, if up to scratch, will get a Iron Star Silver Ribbon and Iron Star Bronze Ribbon respectively. Submissions should be sent to xo@emperorshammer.org with the subject of "I have l33t w3b skillz".
8) ISD Vanguard Website Creation Comp
A new competition is open to everyone in the TC, the Vanguard needs a new website, design a new one and the best one chosen will recieve a IS-GR, or if quality is of such excellence a higher medal may be awarded:)
