-+-From the Desk of the XO-+-

Greetings,
I apologize for the lateness of this Newsletter. Currently our illustrious CO, General Bluejay Farscape, is on LOA so I am going to be sending out this newsletter. Both ITOD's are over and we saw less than 40% reporting. Right now things are pretty busy with the school year coming to an end so we're not going to dwell on this too much. Things are busy and that's to be expected. Next month though, it's time to turn it up. The summer is upon us and it's time to really start flying. Let's show what the IBG is capable of. Stand proud, proclaim your Squadrons glory and fly.

-+-IBG ITOD-+-
Despite the low turnout, this was still a good mission. I hope those of you who flew it weren't too frustrated with it's difficulty but found it more a challenge you enjoyed overcoming. As of today, the new IBG/R2F mission has been realeased. You can download it at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itoddb. Below are the rules for this ITOD. This mission is due before midnight on June 15th. Fly it and enjoy!

Rules for this ITOD are these that follow:

1. A mission will be released once every month, every pilot in the IBG is asked to fly the mission and report a score. To install the missions see the readme that is sent with it or consult the ITOD website.
2. All scores, screenshots and results come under the jurisdiction of IBG CO and IBG ITOD CO, the IBG is not responsible for lost scores or problems with reporting. Any pilot with a problem should email the fleet CO and the IBG ITOD CO before the mission deadline.
3. Top 5 pilots are required to send a screen shot of their score/kills. The winner of top pilot will not be rewarded without evidence of his score. I do advise that anyone who gets a 'good' score should take a screenshot (alt+prntscreen, then paste into word or another program such as that). Failed mission scores will count towards the squad score but will not have a chance to win top score award and will not be marked on the official killboard. All screen shots should be sent to IBGC0@rebelsquadrons.org and wessy666@hotmail.com (IBG CO and IBG ITOD leader) or even linked to your report on the IBG ITOD BBS.
4. Each pilot in his squadron and his points will be added up and then multiplied by the amount of people who reported divided by amount of pilots in the squadron. This score will then mark the winning squadron. A squad can only win this award if three or more pilots fly. i.e Draco 52,400 pts. 4 reports with 12 pilots in squad. (4/12) * 52,400 = 17466.667 It seems a little confusing but seems to be the fairest way. Thanks to Han Suul for the concept.
5. No person or persons is to tamper with the mission made after its release date. Anyone found to be doing so will be reported to the IBG ITOD CO who will then deal with the case, the strictest of discipline including expulsion from the club may follow thereafter. The IBG ITOD CO and the IBG CO's final ruling to all situations stands on all counts ":) LGN Bluejay Farscape IBG CO Commander Wesley Rademaker IBG ITOD CO.
6. Missions have been setup using a specific craft and armaments. If mission is flown in the combat simulator, Said craft will be used, Pilots are not allowed to change craft, change craft settings or add craft
armaments to simulator missions. The settings must be matching.
7. Personal/Squadron Merit points and awards for participation in the ITOD will be awarded to the individuals who participated in the event.
