Just like the mission one only for fiction in case you couldn't tell. It's only sort of up now. Still under construction, but those of us beefy authors can submit stuff early.

THE WEEKLY COW QUOTE!
"Any of us would kill a cow, rather than not have beef."
Samuel Johnson (1709-84), English author, lexicographer. Quoted in: James Boswell, Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1785), entry for 23 Sept. 1773.
Apparently, Mr. Johnson never met a vegetarian. Maybe they don't count?
Friendly reminder: Holidays are over. Time to get back to the fun of this club.
Arrivals - none
Departures - LCM Arkady has left us for the Reserves :( Like RL is more important! :P

SQUADRON STATUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "Kangaroo of the Week" competition is still waiting for someone to grab this ISM dangling in front of them. Challenge me to anything resonable and try to hold the title.
Our little intersquad comp finished yesterday. Here are the scores (minus myself):
Xanatos: 11750
Krax: 0 (damaged pilot file)
Everyone Else: N/A
So Xanatos wins by default. Only two participants? This is supposed to be fun, people.
Sword squadron has challenged us to a competition. They say they have a score to settle with Thunder. Are we going to let them with their corny name beat us and shame us into hiding? "No" had BETTER be the answer you were thinking of! Fly FREETIE #121 (attached) by Jan 19th. We have to be a TEAM to win.
(It doesn't have a battle.lfd file I'm told. Rename the mission "b1m1fm.tie" and use the "battle1.lfd" from the TIE CD. Feel free to ask questions with the Thunder egroups. We've all been too quiet lately. If your TIE isn't working, ask the squad. Someone'll know how to fix it.)
