KAPPA SQUADRON REPORT, 29th April 2002, Captain Algaron
"If peace is equated simply with the absence of war, it can become abject pacifism that turns the world over to the most ruthless."
- Henry Kissenger (1923-Present)
- The Kappa vs. Praetorian Squadron has concluded its first week. The top 5 laserless scores for each Squadron are as follows:
Kappa
1) Astarosta 89196
2) Tempest 85343
3) Todbringer 73157
4) Algaron 71008
5) Zyrax 68972
387676
Praetorian
1) Hermann 93755 (New HS)
2) Mezynski 82947
3) ObiVader 71205
4) Corsair 56972
5) Gyssler 53940
358189
- So, Kappa takes a slight lead going into Week 2 of this competition despite Hermann's new mission high score. Details for the next assignment in the Squadron Orders section. I am very pleased that I got 100% participation in this first round from all my pilots. Lets keep it up for the next three weeks and consolidate our early advantage.
- The deadline for the Kappa vs. Sin Squadron competition has been extended by another week. Full details are in the Squadron Orders section.
- Dash Riprock has taken over the hosting and maintenance of the Kappa Ship Encyclopaedia. The plan is to procude the ultimate ship guide, but with a personal touch, with plenty of input from Kappa Squadron members. Send any submissions to Dash, but cc me so that I can assign KAPS points. At the time of going to press Dash was having a few problems with minos.net, but I'm sure the site will be up and running shortly. I am awarding Dash 2 KAPS points for his agreement to take over the running of the site.
- I haven't had any direct applications for the Kappa Flight II Leader position - get them into me ASAP if you are interested in trying out.
- Imperial Storm III is underway, but we haven't any flying assignments yet - keep track of the latest news by visiting the website at http://www.emperorshammer.net/wo/is3/
- Kappa vs. Praetorian Squadron - we are into Week 2 and the assignment is TIE-FREE 138 (attached). The deadline is Sunday 5th May. We need to keep the pressure up so 100% participation again. The competition has now got official approval, and I can announce that the top overall scorer in each Squadron will be awarded the Iron Star - Bronze Wings, along with a nice KAPS bonus. The full results can be found on the Kappa website Status page, but the site is currently down.
- Kappa vs. Sin Squadron - the new deadline to fly XWA-TC 7 is Sunday 5th May. We only have one submission so far, but Sin are also having problems, hence the competition extention.
- Recruitment - please lend assistance to CM Tempest in his efforts to recruit new pilots.
- The New Face of Kappa - I have chosen Ninj's suggestion for the new motto for Flight III - "Too cool for Heaven, too hot for Hell". Keep more submissions coming in for the rest, although I'm working on a good one for Flight I.
- Kappa Squadron Encylopaedia - if you have any submissions email them to Dash and myself and I will award KAPS points for your work.
- Fiction Competition - as you know I am writing a fictional epic titled "Apocalypse Rising" - I've written the prologue, but Chapter 1 will be bang up to date and incorporate all of you guys. I therefore want you to write your own mini-autobiographies so that I get an impression of how to build your personalities into the finished work. It doesn't have to be overlong - just something that I can use to help writing your character into my story - attitudes, allignments, physical appearance, mentality etc. - be creative, but be serious. I will also publish any work on your profile page of the Kappa HP. If I could have submissions by the end of the month it would be most appreciated. I'll give 5 KAPS points for entries, and a further 5 for the one I judge to be the best. Get that creative juice flowing. No entries so far!
- Compete for KAPS points - two days left for April KAPS points and it remains close. Medals on the horizon for consistent performers.
