For example, http://admin.tiecorps.org/ now takes you straight to the administration section. http://rosters.tiecorps.org/ will take you to the roster section. A listing of working Virtual Domains will be listed in the near future.

Sometime on November 30 LucasArts, in conjunction with Sony Online Entertainment Inc., is supposed to launch the new game's official information site, www.starwarsgalaxies.com.

- Passing of Naval Corps IWATS Course

The Mac FAQ is not expected to move off Redrival anytime soon, due to the non-Mac-friendliness exhibited by most of the free hosting services that have been recently considered.

Thanks go to Commander Andreev Anton for submitting this info!

In other news, until Vice Admiral/Admiral Theodore/Theodore X figures out what his rank and name is, I won't reflect his name on some tiecorps.org webpages until the next official EH Domain update and this confusion is cleared up.

"Greetings loyal Imperials...
I stand before you today to announce my resignation. As you all recall, my recent time on leave was spent in the medical wards. It is for this reason that I am stepping down, as with the increasing time I have to spend in bacta tanks, I no longer have the time to dedicate in service to this wonderful Fleet and it's cause in my current capacity as FO. I thank you all for the opportunity to serve, and would like you to welcome your new FO, Vice-Admiral Theodore... I trust you will all give him your support."

I'm going on vacation until Sunday to spend some time with my family, so e-mail contact and database work is extremely minimal except late in the evenings if I have a chance to check my mail and have Internet access for the night.

It's a whopping 95-meg download, but it's also a 45-minute long movie! If you've got a decent connection, it's worth an overnight download. The film is loaded with that stale British irony they call "humour" but even "unsophisticated Americans" will have a few good laughs as well!

Following an extensive review of the project and a great deal of deliberation, LucasArts Entertainment Company has ceased development of Star Wars: Obi-Wan for the PC. The expected breadth and scope of the Obi-Wan project could not be met given limitations of technology and the company's recently heightened quality standards. LucasArts is now planning to bring the game and its assets to a next generation console platform. Further announcements will be made in this regard next year.

LucasArts remains fully committed to developing games for the PC platform, as evidenced by its current development alliances with Verant Interactive, BioWare Corporation, and other soon to be announced projects.

We wish to thank our fans for their continued support through this process and assure them that our number one goal is to provide them with high quality, fun games.

• Free-XWA Mission 23: Battle of Baraton: another mission by COL Sauron for Battlecry.

If you are going to list multiple contacts (and contact email addresses), please seperate the email addresses with a comma, ie. bob@yahoo.com, fred@hotmail.com By doing this, you will ensure that the mailing script can actually mail you the approval/denial notice.

For #TIECorps meetings, a bug that crashed SureFire's trivia script for people with brackets, braces, or slashes in their nick has been fixed.

SWCA takes place in the Star Wars universe and borrows it's military figures. It pits the Rebel Alliance versus the Galatic Empire and multiple scenarios, although only team deathmatch is currently the only implemented scenario. There are plans for a varied arsenal to choose of from body armor and extra ammo packs to different blasters to explosives. I would like to let people know that there is no current plan to include Jedi Knights or the Force. If you want Jedi action, I would suggest Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, or wait a bit and pick up Dark Forces 3: Obiwan. It shall feature a monetary system like Counter-Strike, but also feature (at this time at least) no limit to times a person can respawn.

Our URL is http://www.chaosrealm.com/swca.

Right now we are in need of a coder, some mappers, skinners, and a sound designer. If you're interested got to our site and contact our leader at evilleader@yahoo.com or contact me at corrupter467@aol.com.

Three custom missions per platform will be chosen for single player competitions. In addition, a set of four XvT missions will be selected for a multiplayer contest: these missions can be in either "multiplayer combat" or "multiplayer training" formats, be played in cooperation or face-to-face engagement, but must be balanced for both sides.

Details available at http://www.tiecorps.org/tac/contest.html

In this months issue is...

I've just got the competition approval system running again and have approved a backlog of 20 competitions. If you did not get an email saying your competition was approved, then you can pretty much assume it was denied. I'll be working on the denial system and other aspects of the site during this week.

-Account Name
-Current Password
-Size of website
-Why you deserve hosting

Priority for hosting will go in this order:
-Sub Group homesite
-Command Staff Offices
-Squadron
-others

Those people that have email, and email list accounts on my server currently will have their account setup on the new server by the time I leave college residence. However, they will have to email me for their account passwords. They can do so by emailing accounts@absolutek.com with the topic "My email/list account" and including the following information in the body of the email:

-account name
-current password

I'm very sorry to have to shut down my server, and understand that many EH'ers will be affected by this. To stay in college residence i'd need $1900CAD, which i don't have, and since i've been a full time student for 4 straight semesters now, i haven't had much time for a job either. I'm looking into other possibilities for hosting my server on a cable internet connection, but i'm not sure when or if i will be able to do that.

I would like to urge anybody who has any questions or concerns to please email me at absolute@ehnet.org.

Despite the fact that my server will cease operations (hopefully not permanently), on December 15th, I still plan to remain active in the Emperor's Hammer.

After spending the last two days getting my computer up and working, I can start back to work on domain updates and reading e-mail. It seems that with the web client, I missed a few news posts and will be putting them up shortly.

http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~mbsf/sworde.htm

• Asking the TO when he'll appoint the CA (or getting a third party to ask him for you)
• Asking the TO what duties the CA will have or the job requirements (or getting a third party to ask him for you)

With the new Command Officer and Staff reports section, new reports will now be listed on the news page.

Applicants must have knowledge of HTML and web site design, a basic understanding of how to create streaming media, the ability to plan WEHR programming and appoint dee-jays, and, above all, must be fully active in the EH. The ability to mix shows is preferred, but not required.

If you're interested in this position, please contact AD Turtle and VA Matir with a short resume detailing your relevant skills and Emperor's Hammer experience. No two-page life stories are required.

Note: WEHR General Manager is not an official position that will go on your ID line. Instead, you will receive an appointment as an Internet Office Assistant (IOA).

As most of the serious crashes come from too many radio messages in the mission, VA Wlodek has prepared a special Battle 13 LFD and a default TFR, so that Mac users may play all battles as Battle 13. Since Battle 13 allows eight missions, with up to 16 messages in each, this should eliminate just about all message-related problems. Mission files must be renamed as Battle 13 missions.

The special files and full instructions can be downloaded at http://www.redrival.com/hammerhead/MacFixFiles.sit

News submitted by Lieutenant Colonel Inkwolf

Pilots are shown the entry requirements for their game platform and training company. If the pilot hasn't passed IWATS Core, a link to the IWATS Core site is available. Cadets under 13 years of age can see if their parents have approved their membership status yet. A cadet can request a squadron assignment after all other elements of training are complete.

The Medal of Instruction system has changed slightly with this new system. Only one MoI can be awarded per pilot and it's no longer enough to just refer someone to the tiecorps.org page and abandon them to fare on their own. You have to help your newly recruited person (and make sure they know your PIN #) go through the training process and upon theif assignment with full member status as a Sub-Lieutenant, you will receive your Medal of Instruction.

If you're a Cadet and you don't know what your PIN # is, go to the Personnel Search page and search for your name or e-mail address. Your PIN # will appear next to your name. Your password is what you entered upon filling out the enlistment form. If you forget your password, go to the Password Retrieval page to have your password e-mailed to you. Cadets are no longer barred from using the Password Retrieval form either.

A bug that prevented people from updating their Personnel Profile without putting in a Personal Homepage has been fixed.
