Just thought I'd post this idea and see what Japheth and HC guys thought. There's been something mentioned about taking a break from Chapter 8, and I thought that might give us an opportunity to have an elite flight competition. We used to have elite squardon competitions, but we only have one squadron. I just think some kind of competition like that might help promote some healthy competitive activity, maybe give the winners elite flight status similiar to the elite squad level. Just an idea. Thanks.

Yea, that wouldbe great, as long as we could get the right activity into it.  It seems like we could do it fine if we had the same amount of activity as we have going now. 

Also, it would probably have to be mainly story writing, banner stuff, and all those good things...  Gaming might be a little more difficult...  Can't remember the scoring criteria either.

Well, we could do it like that naval writing competition we had some months ago. Have a story for the Navy, and record how many posts with substance each person makes. The flight with the most combined posts wins.

I've got some compatability issues on my win2k machine.  Maybe I could make it work on linux with wine?

Mine started to tell me that I was running off of Windows NT and it wouldn't accept it although it had been working earlier that day.  So I just said screw it and became a writer...

I think XWA has issues with the newer windows systems, but I know XvT still works.

Yep, X-WING VS. TIE FIGHTER is a game you can buy. I had it before, but I needed extra money so I sold it (I really got sick of it).

What?  If its your money you have all the independence in the world...  However, I assume you'd get this money from your parents?

Yes, plus, most of the money doesn't even get to me, they go directly to the bank, from the bank.
