[TO] GET MEDALS! and new PROFs 01:07 - AD Stuart Congratz to IO Lenvik and CMDR Jarek La'an on their appointments to mIRC scripting and TIE Tactics respectively. Now... Time for your chance to make some medals. Once per week, I will be choosing an IWATS course, ANYONE who completes that IWATS Course during that specific week will get an IS-BR. Also, if you complete at least 2 of 4 IWATS courses selected every 4 weeks at any point during those 4 weeks, you will get an IS-SR in addition to any IS-BRs you may have obtained from completing a course in the appropriate week. Anyone who completes all 4 IWATS courses at any point during that 4 week period will receive an IS-GR in addition to any IS-BRs obtained from completing a course in the appropriate week. Course will not be repeated during each 4 week period, however, they may be reused in subsequent 4 week periods. The course selections will not be made public until the end of each 4 week period HOWEVER the amount of IS-BRs and IS-SRs that have currently been obtained will be released during the 4 week period. Get your academic caps and magnifying glasses out people and get ready to earn some medals! A final note, if anyone is able to get an IS-GR 2 4-week periods in a row AND/OR a total of 4 or more IS-BRs, they will ALSO receive an IS-PR! IWATS courses can be taken at http://www.imperialacademy.org Iron Mission Creation Results! 16:14 - AD Frodo The Medals have been recommended for the competition and the flying challenge, the missions have been released as TIE Free 256 and XvT Free 188. This round was by far the tightest I've ever had to judge, and it was quite magnificent to fly those two frees...I suggest you all have a look. I graded on if it was bugless, if it was well designed, and it had to go down to Plotline. I chose the Iron Mission Creator because he accentuated the plotline better then his opponent. Without further useless waiting, I proclaim CPT Daar Skeloria the IRON MISSION CREATOR. He will face the Tactical Officer next week end. The Winners of last week's flying challenge were COL TK-7764 and LT Blackrage, an IS-BW is heading their way. I am still looking for Judges for next week's last IMC match between AD Frodo March and CPT Daar Skeloria. Criteria are listed on my previous news post. Congratulations to all participants! And Congrats to CPT Skeloria! GOE for COL Wemmel 13:59 - GA Astatine For his work at Celebration 3, COL Jan Wemmel has been awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor. Congratulations!For his work at Celebration 3, COL Jan Wemmel has been awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor. Congratulations! SquadFirst+ 2.0.5 Released 11:39 - VA Lenvik After an extended period without any activity, a new version of SquadFirst+ has been released. This fixes several issues with the software, most prominently fixing the roster links, quick links and the CoCs link. It also adds an easy-to-use form to submit sites for the EH IO Links Database. SquadFirst's new homepage is located at http://ehnet.org/squadfirst/ FA and MoH for the RO 16:39 - GA Astatine For his preperation works leading up to Celebration 3, the Reconn Officer has been promoted to Fleet Admiral. This is a long overdue promotion for him and he thoroughly deserves it. For the outstanding success of the Celebration 3 effort, including all the new Honourary members and the interviews and general publicity, Joe has been awarded the Medal of Honor. Congratulations.
