Fleetwide Competition:
I would like to remind everyone of the FLEET WIDE Education competition running for the next 7 weeks. *MANY* medals are available to be won ranging from IS-BR to IS-PR and you are not competing against other people to get them! (Work together... hint hint) Details and *HINTS* for this competition can be found here:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=951
New Course:
I would like to announce that the NEW TAC course to replace XTM/2, TT/2, TACS, will be released shortly!! Stay tuned to the TO report, ehtiecorps.org and ImperialAcademy.org for news!
- TAC Staff Openings
21:38 - AD Frodo
Oh yay! Its that time again, I'm taking applications for TAC staff. The following positions are open, their requirements are listed underneath.
XvT, XWA, and TIE TCS (Beta Tester)
-Good knowledge of the three platforms mentioned above.
-Willing to pass IWATS MCBS when it is released (Grr...Stu! :P)
-Able to complete 3 assignements ranging from 1 to 8+ missions within two weeks.
I will be looking for about 3 or 4 more Testers, I'd like them to be VERY active this time. Remember that it isn't just a reason to bloat your ID line, I make sure that you only get the ID line addition if you deserve it. Also, its the number one way to become a tactician, which corrects battles.
Applications go to AD Frodo March (tac@emperorshammer.org) and VA Master (slavelet@iinet.net.au) with the subject "I want to be a TAC lackey!"
Thank you!
- Some New Frees
21:13 - AD Frodo
XvT Free 189, XvT Free 190, XvT Free 191 and BoP Free 34 have been released! Check them out at a mission compendium near you!
Any betatest files can be sent to me for processing!
- Dark Sentinel
19:30 - AD Khadgar
Your assistance is needed for the next Dark Sentinel newsletter! See http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=1026 for details.
- 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!
- 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!
