"Space,
The Outer Rim. These are the reports of the Imperator Class II Star Destroyer
Vanguard... Its continuing mission to suppress strange alien worlds. To
wipe out alien life and rebellious populations. To boldly join in on all
the competitions where no man has seen such active guys before before!"
<salute>
As you might have
guessed: this is where the competitions have gone, from out of the wing
report. This way I can get more info in here, and be a bit more elaborate
per competition. As you will see: if you feel like doing anything, there's
plenty of chance to do so, and not just flying... Besides the EH competitions
that are almost daily, there are also the WoWs again to fill in any gaps
in the schedule:)
If any of the CMDRs
or Squad XOs have their own comps, mail the info to me and I'll add it
here too.

The Great and Wonderful Give
Wing XV a Motto and Nickname Competition
(new!)
Started: Tue January 23
Ends: Tue January 30
URL: http://www.tiecorps.org/rosters/view.asp?wing=15
Participants: The pilots of Wing XV
Description: “Any good suggestions
for either will be rewarded with an ISM, for both a PC... As an idea I'd
like to add that a motto should be seen as a battle cry... I prefer
short and brutal over long and intelligent i'm afraid. No-one runs into
battle screaming something
like "Why fly like the Gray Wolf when you
can sit around looking good?".
This new title and motto I'll keep as our
main motto for at least a year, or at least as long as I can keep my current
position if
that's shorter.;)"
CURRENT STATUS: Well i already got
a few suggestions from you guys for a new motto and title:)
LCM Werwax came up with "Death's Army" as
a nick and "We are the first to attack, and the last to leave.." as motto....
though
that might be too long as a battle cry again...
LT. Victor Stalwart gave me a selection of motto's and titles: "Death Dealers"
(title),
"Victory or Death" (motto), "Hammer's Shield"
(title), "Strength and Honor" (motto, gladiator?), "Magnum Force" (title)
and
Power Unequaled" (motto).
Actually I think they all have something
that's usable... but I'm going to give you other guys till the end of this
month to come up with
something even better - if not I'll make
my choice from the current submissions:)
Vanguard Interactive Battle
Started: December 19th
Ends: hopefully never, but every 3
weeks (=turn) medals and other scores will be awarded
Next mission deadline: unknown
URL: http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/vib/
Participants: All pilots onboard the
Vanguard.
Description: “The Wing XV Commander
will add a piece of a story to his wing reports, together with a XWA Mission
based on that part of the story. Participating Pilots in the wing send
in their pilot files of that mission to their CMDRs - including a short
written fictional account of their experiences in the mission. The CMDRs
check the pilot files, forward the scores, the reports and their own files
to the Commodore and Wing Commander and include the best fiction of their
squadron in their weekly reports. The best fiction in the wing will be
taken up in the wing report, arranged into "propaganda"-type news coverage.
Medals are awarded to the best flying and to the best writing but also
to outstanding activity like helping to run this competition.
Flying and fiction both influence the story,
and so the missions: the Pilots' performance in one mission has consequences
on the next mission they'll fly. Making this a true Interactive Battle
with a flexible story line, centered around the ISD Vanguard and it's Squadrons.”
CURRENT STATUS: The first active
turn of the Vanguard interactive Battle has come to a close and it's winners,
LT Strahd and CM Fraggle Hawk, have received their medals. Next turn will
start soon, though we still need XWA mission creators badly - if you can
do anything in that area, please report in.
