Roth and Badlands resigns

Both old timers Roth and Badlands have decided to retire to the reserve due to trouble in RL. It's sad to see you go, we're hoping that you'll return to us one day.

This leave the CMDR spots of Demon and Ghost open, anyone that think they got what it takes to be a CMDR should send a application to me (spearhawk@telia.com) and Darksaber (Darksaber@ehnet.org). But hurry up, these are attractive positions and will soon be filled.

Gold Star of the Empire

Congratulations go to CM Alex Foley who received a Gold Star for getting 100 graduates for his IWATS course!

New 2nd in FCHG pts

Congratulations LCM Hunter who, with a current "score" of 1319 pts, managed to beat me and are now the second highest ranking in FCHG pts aboard the ISD Immortal.

Battlecry Newsletter Revived

After being asked nicely by the FO I have taken on the job of releasing new issues of the TIE Corps Newsletter "Battlecry" (I held out until I was offered a FOA position...yey me!). If you weren't a member over a year ago then you'd need to know that Battlecry used to be a great newsletter in the past and was an excellent showcase of the TIE Corps talent.

Now that it's coming back you now have a chance to show off your own work. While thenewsletter will always contain great features written by the Battlecry staff, the doors are also open to member submissions. We accept: -

Fiction - just a warning, these stories have to stick fairly close to the SW and EH storyline, so no killing off Luke Skywalker or pulling Princess Leia. That reminds me, nothing sexually or violently explicit will be allowed.

Artwork - this could be anything; banners, cool pictures that were used in a website, artwork made for fun, 3D or 2D pictures and animations, etc, etc. Again, nothing sexually and violently explicit will be allowed. File sizes are a problem too, so try and keep it small.

Articles and Interviews - just like the one's in this magazine. Actually, I would prefer if you informed me about what you are doing first, because I don't want several interviews of the same person in one issue.

Jokes - it would be nice to have a little injection of humour in this newsletter. Try and keep the jokes based on Star Wars. I'm not to bothered about the jokes being clean or not, as the dirty ones are usually funnier, but don't go too far! It could be a joke, a funny top ten list, a poem or adjusted song, a chat session, etc.

Send in your submissions to werdna_elbee@hotmail.com. Try to keep the files as small as you can (without losing too much quality). For documents such as fiction and articles, send it to me as a Word Document (.doc), a plain text document (.txt) or even a web page (.html). For graphics, send it either as a .gif or a .jpg. If you can, please ZIP the files using a program like WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) . If you can't do any of those, send it in anyway and I'll see if I can read it.

New uniform size limits

The maximum size for uniforms has now been reduced to 40K. Please ensure your uniform is under this size when submitting it.

Golden Tug Awards: voting time !

That's right! You can now vote for the best battles released in year 2001. Log in and go to the TIE Corps Survey Center ! The votes will be closed in two weeks time, there may be a second round for some categories.
