Iota Squadron
Report #2
8.19.2005 - CM Jaques Landeux
*with swift steps CM Landeux enters the briefing room stopping at a podium and facing his chatting pilots*
Commander Landeux reporting in for Iota Squadron on the 19th of August 2005.
Ok pilots, welcome to this report. Activity was very good last week, well done. I'd especially like to highlight LT Araujo's activity which included flying more than one battle a day including a highscore and gaining some citations! Excellent Lieutenant, carry on.
So let's go on to the news.
Squadron News
* We have got a new pilot. LCM Edwards from the RSVs joined Flight 3. Welcome again LCM, I hope you'll have fun here and don't be scared of your FL. He's calmed quite easily with beer. :P
* Our squadron is not yet complete so the call for recruits still remains. Go out there, grab your friends, schoolfriends, relatives, strangers from the street and tell them about the fame, the women and the free drinks which will await them here!
*Iota Squadron's website is back up again so pay it a visit to find news and competitions there
http://iota.minos.net/
*Check out the Iota Squadron Battleboard ( http://www.gysnet.com/index.php?wing=8&squad=5 ) or use this thread (with colour code for easy orientation! :P ): http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=1195 to see which battles need to be flown to get Iota a citation
If you are flying anyway, why not fly these battles?
Unfortunately we are down to 9 citations due to our new member,although we gained +6 citations last week, so there's still some work to do. :P Thread will be updated according to that sometime this weekend.
*Make sure you log into the messageboard at least once or twice a week to have fun and even more important to keep you informed. You don't have to read the whole messageboard but at least the Iota part, especially the Datalog, which makes it easier for me to track your activity and for you to show it:

*mIRC presence is also welcome #ISD_Colossus, #tiecorps, #emperor's_hammer or #ehcoc for mp *feels alone in #isd_colossus*
Wing and Ship News
* The COM and the WC are still away so Zystem Fryar is A-COM again and Angel is still A-WC.
* Not much else happening at the moment. Imperial Storm is in the last moves and it does not look like we have to do anything till the end. Other big competitions are coming up.
(well I think it is still going on)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*LCM Clark raises a hand*
"Permission to speak, sir?"
"Permission granted." CMDR Landeux answers.
"What about competitions this week?"
"Well ok there are some with quite much to gain for you. And remember the month ends in a bit more than a week so you've got to do the Squadron competitions soon."

Competitions
Iota Squadron
* Fiction:
Iota's New Commander
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=2110
Write a piece of fiction concerning Iota's recent change of command and the squadron's reaction/celebration/whatever. :) Winner gets an IS-BR.
No entries yet.
1 week left.
*Whistling:
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=2117
The exhausted pilots of Iota squadron and the other pilots in the Colossus' cantina are in dire need of entertainment! To provide this a whistle chorus is planned. The only problem is: it still needs able men and women. Therefore you will whistle the Imperial March and the Cantina Song and record this. The soundfiles are then sent to me and judged by me. Best whistler for each song will get an IS-BR.
For this one you have got a whole month time, so until the 9/14/05.
* Flying:
Iota's Monthly Hero August
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=2116
I will announce a battle each week. At the end of the month all scores will be added and the pilot with the highest score will get an IS-BW.
For this month I'll have to announce three battles in this report, as the competition started a bit late. So fly XvT-TC # 5, XvT- TC #22 and XvT-TC#24. Next month you'll have one week per battle.
For this last week of this month fly XvT-TC # 11

*There are a few Run-Ons going on, started long ago but I'm sure there'll be medals sometime, so look at :
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=1414&start=240 - 1 word COMM Run-On
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=963&start=340 - 1 word Collie Run-On
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=962 - Collie COM Run-On
the one word run-ons are a really easy way to show activity and get medals so take 5 minutes to post. Besides it's fun. :)
*Summer Patrol 2005
There is a new fleetwide competition by the Tactical Office called Summer Patrol 2005.
Information can be found here
http://www.imperialacademy.org/summerpatrol.htm
It is about flying certain battles for 5 weeks without skipping one of them. At the end an IS-GW awaits you so don't let that opportunity pass. Basically it's one battle per week which really is doable. Good luck.
You've got one more day to submit your battles for the first week if you haven't done already.
*JAG Banner/Motto
Design a banner or motto for the new position of JAG. Medals ranging from IS-PR to IS-SR, so there's much to gain for you. Deadline is 1st September.

Miscellaneous
*If you're looking for IWATS courses to take you could do your revered commander a favour and visit the Rebellion Tactics Course ( http://rt.imperialacademy.org/ ) ;)
(wait, that's more work for me…What have I done?! Nooooo! :P )
* Numbers of missions flown last month
ISD Colossus - 246
ISD Challenge - 1521
ISD Relentless - 455
ISD Immortal - 0
We can't just leave it at that, can we?
*If you are looking for a MP opponent try to catch me on mIRC in #ISD_Colossus or on ICQ: 95832740 and we can fly a match or two, XvT or XWA doesn't matter
of course you can always contact me for any questions or complaints too
