Here at the CIC we're all about spreading the latest Wing Commander news and archiving all WC knowledge, but telling in-jokes is a very close second calling. As such, in light of the current pandemic, the CIC has announced the following measures:

  • All CIC Complete content will be made available for free so that you can have full unblocked access to sections like the Ships Database, Fan Directory and Listicals in this time of need.
  • All outstanding payments due to CIC Finance are suspended for 60 days. This way you can keep plenty of liquid KilrathiKoin handy.
  • All prior episodes ALL WINGS CONSIDERED are now streaming free - over a hundred hours of prime Wingnut video content ready for your eyeballs on demand!
  • Storage and bandwidth caps on fans' Ralph McCloud Drives have all been removed.
  • CIC crowd funding engine WingStarter will be matching donations today to help shore up the backbone of America's medical system, GoFundMe. This is possible thanks to our Mega Millions winnings.
  • Physical CIC Staff gatherings of 3 or more people have been suspended for the time being.
  • CIC Staff members with Kilrathi masks on hand will begin wearing them whenever out in public.
  • With barbershops and salons closed down, you may soon be forced to give yourself a trim. We have collected some out of this world hair styles to inspire you.

Our phone operators are working from home at reduced efficiency, so please reach out via Chat or the Tech Support Forum for fastest service! Follow us on Twitter for real time news updates - the feed turns ten years old today. Note that the above benefits only apply to non-Akkbar affiliated Wingnuts.


Please protect yourself from the coronavirus and stay safe out there!

Hehe, great to re-read all this (though some I hadn't read before like the mega millions. Good for the CIC!). And the "inside jokes" really made me chuckle.

Thanks for the laugh, everyone stay safe!
 
It was a fun read for us to go back through the archive and see what we did in years past too. Aside from being super cheesy, each year is a tiny time capsule into what was relevant to us at the time, which is kind of interesting all these years later.
