Do NOT use sco.emperorshammer.net 20:09 - FA Ender mBind Since we have lost access to the SCO site at emperorshammer.net over a month ago and because it does not seem as if we will regain it any time soon, the site is basically discontinued. This means files there are outdated, which in turn means you may encounter bugs that have already been resolved or download files that have been replaced all together - causing compatibility problems. So for as long as minos.net remains operational, please use sco.minos.net. Operation Anteater Status: Complete 15:48 - AD Frodo It is with great pride and joy that I hereby announce that Operation Anteater is complete! There is only one remaining bug report on the mission compendium for XW-CD 1, but that perticular bug will be fixed momentarily, and I count it more as a flaw with the betatesting staff than anything else. I would like to thank the Anteater staff that worked tirelessly on this project, they are the following: AD Frodo March - XvT/BoP/TIE/XWA tactician, worked countless bugs VA Master - XWA tactician, fixed nearly 90% of the XWA bugs VA Locke Setzer - TIE/XW tactician, worked out about 75% of the TIE bugs. VA Gidda - Some help with fixing up the XWA bugs MAJ Deimos - Validated many, many bugs in the XWA section. CM Brukhar - Some on demand work for the XvT and TIE departments LC Apophis Kuma - A bit of help in the TIE department Medals were recommended for all of these fine gentlemen. I'd also like to thank all of the membership of the Emperor's Hammer for posting bugs, because if you guys didn't find the bugs, then we wouldn't know what to fix! Also... I've noticed that usually these projects are fruitless, as in, we fix all the bugs, and then sit on our bums and watch for another few years and make another project like this one. That is the old way, as of this day, May 22nd 2005, I proclaim that my TAC staff and I will NEVER let bugs plague our mission compendium again. AS OF NOW, EVERY BUG THAT IS REPORTED WILL BE INVESTIGATED, AND CORRECTED IF NEEDED WITHIN TWO WEEKS. Within two weeks, if you do not receive e-mail notification that the bug was fixed, or that the report was ignored within two weeks then...I don't know, because its not going to happen. Once again, thanks to the staff, you've done some excellent work! Mega Awards and New XO announced! 12:32 - HA Cyric Ok so the EH Meeting produced some incredible news (consider the author of this post for self agrandizing :)) The new XO of the EH is SA Sarin The FO was promoted to SA and received an MOH SDIR Aseret promoted to Fleet Admiral OPS Yoda promoted to Full Admiral Demerzel gets a Gold Star Congrats to all! Corporate Division Site 19:44 - AD Khadgar For those of you having trouble reaching http://www.corporatedivision.com/, please use the following temporary fix: Add this line to your "hosts" (c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc is probably the location for Windows users) file - 69.10.137.116 www.corporatedivision.com Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
