Yes, I know the following info will be available on the next TCCOM report but, on my neverending struggle to further demonstrate that if the TCCOM you have there is not me that's just because some time ago I realized that in the end I'd need somebody up there to plot against him, I've decided to release here and now the final outcome of the incredible epicness we all know as Raise the Flag 2014 Multiplayer Bonus Competition! Please find everything below:

First things first: ALL matches can be found HERE at the combat event page in our Combat Center... if you're -that- interested on (seeing?) your eyes dropping out of your heads from total overload, that's it.

2nd - CM Landon Cruise : 556 (IS-SW)

Participation levels were great with no less than 28 pilots flying for this one! On Star Conflict at least; sadly, no DFCs will be awarded for other game platforms due to mandatory DFC requirements not being met (not enough players, basically).

Additionally, ALL participants gave 5 ship bonus points to their ships per game platform they used to fly. Not to mention normal RtF points outside of the bonus competition coming from the awarding of Legions of Combat.

What can I say? Absolutely outstanding!! Surpassing our most optimistic expectatives, I tell you. I'm proud to be here dooming upon you all, officers of the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps! Couldn't be much better than this. And if it could, must be Dan's fault... it's hard to run such an event when you spend a significant amount of your available time looking at your feet totally paranoid about mouse droids...

After having agreed this with the TIE Corps Commander, I'm hereby announcing the following change of rules:

Submissions for other competitions / combat events, no matter the units they encompass, during June can be also submitted as activity for Raise the Flag 2014!

This applies to RtF activity ONLY; submitting the same material for multiple competitions / combat events outside RtF stands strictly forbidden.

I want to send out a congrats to LCM Chrome on his promotion. Drinks are on him ALL week!

A new TIE free mission has been released to the Compendium: TIE free 287: Siegebreaker, a joint effort by CPT Plif and HA Frodo. Enjoy!

Congratulations to all recipients!! This time delay on the awarding of these was almost unexistant, but still: Dan's fault. May BOTini have mercy on his soul. BTW, COL Laaaaaaan, if I ever again stumble into that corkscrew of yours I send it back to Theta's ready room in pieces and attached to a corellian spark grenade...

The Silver Star of The Empire: CM Landon Cruise
The Bronze Star of The Empire: CPT Plif, HA Frodo March, LT Chrome, RA Elwood the Brave
Palpatine Crescent: COL Jarek La'an, COL Exar Kit, CPT Starkillerny, GN Pickled Yoda, LT Simomime, LT Jeffery Donger, LT DeMiko, COL Dunta Polo, LT Doc
Imperial Security Medal: CM Repulsor, CM Keth Alith, GN Gilad Pelleaon, CPT Flelm, MAJ Jedgar, LT Neuronmoon, LT Kryysta Calthranus, COL Anahorn Dempsey, MAJ John T. Clark, LT Benjo, GN Dax Corrin, LC Gyssler, LC Nile Rosenau, LCM Upsidexumop

Additionally, officers below have been awarded Medals of Communication due to outstanding communication levels through the month of May (which is equivalent to say they've been spreading bollocks and false rumours through fleet comm. channels for no apparent reason):

MoC - diamond oak cluster: COL Mark Schueler, LC Gyssler
MoC - gold oak cluster: CPT Starkillerny, LCM Julon Lommax, LT Jarion Renalds
MoC - silver oak cluster: CM Keth Alith, LC Impulse, LC Tempest, GN Dax Corrin, COL Dunta Polo, CPT Crix Talra, COL Jacob Van Nowak, RA Elwood the Brave, RA Zósite Kónstyte Styles
MoC - bronze oak cluster: CPT Plif, CPT Flelm, GN Gilad Pelleaon, COL Horus Blackheart, COL Mell Kerrigan, COL Jarek La'an, CM Repulsor, LT Doc, CPT Nutrientman, MAJ John T. Clark, CPT Shado Fenn, LC Quincy Nelson, COL Anahorn Dempsey, LC Kenath Zoron, COL Daniel Stephens, LCM Upsidexumop, LT Kryysta Calthranus, LC Kyle Kroan, COL Exar Kit, MAJ Jedgar, LT Drake Starfire, LT Chrome, CM Landon Cruise, HA Frodo March, LC Nile Rosenau, HA Daniel Bonini, VA Crsepe

After a long time of waiting for miracles to happen, there came CPT Nutrientman. For while now, us poor windows 64 bit users haven't been able to play XWA missions that used custom EH patches. With the disappearance of the Science Office, hopes of ever playing them again swiftly dwindled.

No more - The XWA Craft Pack has been released. The current release (v8) is stilla beta version, but we can fly again. Be sure to read the reame file to see which patches are included!

To recognize his work on this, the Tactical Office has awarded CPT Nutrientman the Gold Star of the Empire!

It's as you've been told, pilots: your most cruel SOO, subtly disguised as the most sadist Fleet Systems Engineer and CoRoneR, has just finished implementing automatic Activity Tracking Records (ATRs) into your profiles. Being the smartass everybody knows he is, he was cunning enough as to unveil the thing under a link named "ATR" beside your Historic and Combat Records.

You fly a mission, it logs it. You get a highscore, it logs it. You get awarded a medal, it logs it. You submit a bug report, it logs it. Legends are spreading around on such a diabolic device being capable of logging what you *actually* do instead what you claim to be doing, to your superiors dismay. Beware!

However, since it was implemented several hours after Raise the Flag MMXIV began, using it to accurately register RtF activity is not to be expected. Its main purpose is to be there for your superiors to be able to track all your activity in detail without needing to rely on those automatic e-mails which may arrive into your inboxes depending on several factors like Tatooine twin suns relative azimuth or the number of rotten ewok tails pending from TCCOM's duty cap at any given time.

Enjoy!! Or... something... ummm... u>_<

Greetings,

The time has come. Raise the Flag has officially started. Competition-valid activity that is performed from now on will count for RtF points.

GN Pickled Yoda has created the competition website: http://rtf.tsaunders.net

There, you can follow the development of the competition. I suggest everyone logs every submission you make for the competition, in case your points need to be audited for any reason.

As of right now, the fiction bonus competition is on.

I wish everyone the best of luck. Do your best and make the TC proud.

High Admiral Daniel Bonini
TIE Corps Commander
