August Prae Centurion: COL Ric Taldrya
TC/ID/Praetorian News:
hmmm.... the July MoC still hasn't arrived as yet;p. maybe its time to ask Drak to break out his DGM power again?! ;p.
We're now achieved our objective of 450 squadron citations; however, the EHXO SA Sarin has challenged us to go for 500 squadron citations & has offered to award every Prae a Gold Star of the Empire (GS) for this achievement. In the meantime I had SA Cyric award all of you Palpatine Crescent's (PC's) for your recent citation work.
our former Prae in the CS, TAC AD Frodo is now back from leave & resuming his work.
The SDIR FA Aseret is on leave until the 18th of August. So that leaves VA Winters in charge of the ID until As returns.
Summer Patrol Week One:
from the EHTO AD Stuart: All pilot files MUST be sent to to@emperorshammer.org in a zip file labelled in the following format "
Graphical interface coming shortly.
Summer patrol works as follows:
- Every week a certain amount of missions needs to be flown (will almost always be covered by a single battle).
- In game cheats and invulnerability may be used and the TAC's rules about cheating apply.
- The pilot file needs to be sent in to to@emperorshammer.org by the last day of the week of the timeframe.
- All pilots who survive all 5 weeks (shorter than the usual 7 because of the late start) up until the day of my birthday will receive an IS-GW.
- If a pilot does not complete a week, they are OUT and qualify for no medals.
- All pilot files are to be sent to to@emperorshammer.org with the subject line "Summer Patrol - Now clean my TIE"
Due to the shortened version of this competition, I've enriched it with a few little bonus options here and there for those who are really bored and want different medals. Bonuses will include highest score, lowest score, least kills, most kills, etc and will all be calculated from the bonus featured missions.

news from the SDIR:
"Intel meetings re-scheduled!
Intel meetings will now occur on Saturdays, right after the EH meeting, around 5.30pm GMT.
No awards will be given for appearance but ID will be taken and counted towards future rewards.
If you want to create trivia or other sort of activity, then that's a different story.:P
ID-wide comp: "why the secrecy or when a mission goes right"!
One of the most controversial topics surrounding Intel is secrecy: why does it exist? Do we use it for lawfull ends or not?
How come no one knows what we're doing at any given moment? And so on.
Hence, the purpose of this comp is to put you thinking. Consider what you do in Intel, how much of
it is known outside (or not) and, particularly, how when you successfully accomplish a mission no one finds out about it and why.
If you want to go deeper, you can even discuss the why of people only remembering us when something goes wrong.:P
Events include:
- Fiction (poetry even if you're in the mood for it)
- Articles
- GFX (topic related)
Medals:
1st: PoC - pl
2nd: PoC - gl
3rd: PoC - sl
Submissions (which can come from Prae of course) are to be sent to your immediate leaders and all the UBIQ
(SLCR, BUDR, jediaseret@yahoo.com, winters@ehintel.net, fastalker5@gmail.com) until August 31st.
You have plenty of time considering "Great Works" is undergoing and vacations get in between. If you can't
really see where we're getting at, just drop me a line and I'll discuss it over with you. Note fiction is
exactly that fiction, so you don't need to use your ID character as a basis.
Any submissions received will then be censored (if needed) and sent for publication in future NLs.
ID MB Open Session - Season II
After the successfull experience of last year, I was hoping we could repeat it but from the two 1: eiither
everybody is perfectly clarified regarding us or you have so many doubts you don't know where to begin with.:P
Nonetheless, instead of going one by one over each ID position, I have started by opening a thread for free posting:
http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=1424.
It's another chance for us to know how we can interact with other SGs and how we can come clean and show you
what we're all about. Some new threads will be started soon." FA Aseret Thunderhawk
Flight Deck:
569 Battles and 628 Free Missions
3636 total custom missions online!
news from the TAC AD Frodo March:
Its about time I got back! I know. Its been a horrible summer from my end. My CA, VA Master has pretty much been running everything since I left on the 26th of June, but now I'm back, and 100% commited to this position.
Firstly, we had to remove our two week rule for bugged missions and battles, my first mission with my return is to get that back! Many reasons and many problems can explain why we had to get rid of it, but we have 13 bugs now, and I'll fix them all within the week, thats a promise.
My second mission is to increase battle and mission submissions, we only have 7 submissions pending on the database compared to the 26 we had two days before I left. I will give a Bronze Star to every pilot who submits 20 missions or more to this office before September 14th 2005 (my birthday).
My third mission is to start the Golden Tugs Awards on September 1st. They will happen, start thinking up nominations.
A reminder to EVERYBODY that the FCHG battles are due on August 28th. E-mail me directly if you require an extention.
I'd like to appaulogize to all of you for my horrible personnal activity. My many thanks to our Fleet Commander and Executive Officers for being patient with my absence, and all my gratitude for VA Master and his magnificent work as CA and Acting TAC.
Becarefull in mission 4 of TIE-TC225 your friendly ISD will fire & destroy the mission critical TUG (I reccomend disabling your own ISD- it worked for me);p.
maybe its just my pc, but mission 4 of TIE-TC167 keeps locking up in the mission loading phase- be advised.
when loading TIE-TC182 in the EHBL it causes the EHBL to crash.
in TIE-ID2 mission 4 the friedly capital ship Ardent is not in the mission at all on easy making it incompletable; however, on medium the Ardent is present- no clue whats up here;p.
mission four of XWA-TC46 (on medium) is incompletable (easy works just fine though).
keep posting the bugs! (I do report this to AD Frodo March & VA Master so they're aware of any problems with battles or free missions).
Praetorian Orders:
-participate in the August competitions (scroll down);p.
-post on the Prae (and other) MB- the person who posts the most or is most influential in promoting discussion will earn the Prae Medal of Communication (MoC) for the month!
-Monthly flying requirements are in place: It's a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with usually);p.
*note: Ignore the recruitment orders until after we set our own squadron citations record of 450 citations! ;p.
-Recruit, our numbers are fairly steady: however, if you know of any exemplary pilots who meet our requirements feel free to let me know about them. Remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are an elite squadron after all.
-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.
For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a Imperial Security Medal (ISM).
