TRA Newsletter
Issue 180 “Pied Piper”
1st of August, 2016
▬▬▬-[ Notice ]-▬▬▬
Very important newsletter week for myself! I would like to begin by egotistically mentioning how this will be the 20th issue of the newsletter released since I begun writing for the newsletter back in January. I’ve seen and written a heck of a lot of things since then and have even become a High Rank! It’s been a very interesting journey so far and hopefully one which I can keep up for the next 20 issues as well.
Throughout most of the run I have written about 85% of everything which has been released. I’m always glad to receive new help from other individuals though just so it becomes less obvious that I don’t have a life. This week I have brought back EpikDuckLord who had previously written the article on our alliances with AcR and TCD. I have also managed to grab myself Hockeychris11 to write an article about our alliance with RAT!
▬▬▬-[ Conditions Fulfilled ]-▬▬▬
A few issues back I wrote an article on GravityTyphoon becoming the new Head of Conditional Divisions. Now I must completely retract that article and ask that you clear those thoughts out of your Head and welcome the newest Head of Conditional Divisions, myself and Colleen77! [ Editor’s note: I just love to write about myself, I don’t get too often ]
Now usually a new Head of Conditional Divisions isn’t much to write about, admittedly when I wrote the article about Gravity it was on a very slow news week. Even now this article is replacing one which I am having to delay for next week. However, Colleen and myself have some interesting ideas which we believe should be released.
With the potential of war looming ever closer, Conditional Divisions will be put on standby for now so we can work on developing new systems and training places for these Divisions. We have already been working with the The Surgeon General Mohid12 to make an effective training place for the Combat Medics which will be unique for TRACM. We have even been able to acquire some help from the Head of Developers, Nawmis.
Why was this important enough to make into an article though? Times of war are great times for Officers to show their skills and leadership, however when war is over many Officers find themselves unable to find a way to impress the High Command. We hope to make staffing these Conditional Divisions a beneficial part of an Officer's learning experience.
So long as hype can be developed for the events when they begin, we believe that the Conditional Divisions (specifically the Combat Medics and the Armoured Division) will become active again if they have a more rewarding premise for individuals hoping to advance the ranks, especially Officer ranks.
▬▬▬-[ The RAT Pack ]-▬▬▬
If you’ve looked at the allies tab recently, you may have noticed that TRA has a new ally: The Roblox Assault Team. RAT is one of the more prestigious clans still around right now known for their incredibly active community. They have in the past stomped on anyone who opposes them with their consistent 100 player rallies and their incredibly well trained fighters.
Their elites (Flight of Liberation) are also another pinnacle of the clan world, representing the incredible skill of RAT fighters in a more elite sense. As you can see, RAT is one of the most well known and deeply appreciated clans in the clan world right now and one who we also have the privilege of calling our new allies.
Pth159, Head of the Diplomacy Department, is happy about the alliance obviously. “They’re overall just an amazing group,” he said when asked. Pth159 then followed up the statement with, “They’re fun, active, their community is one of the best in clans right now, and they bring so much skill and positivity to TRA, I’m ambitious to see what this alliance can bring to both clans.”
As you can see, Pth159 is incredibly ambitious and excited to see where this relationship between the two groups goes. I am expecting a lot more joint events coming TRA’s way very soon. From joint raids and trainings to a Pth159 movie night that primarily consists of anime.
This alliance will greatly affect TRA in many different ways. First, this will improve, and I’m sure increase, our community with RAT members actively coming onto the TS3 to ask how everyone is doing. This will also help improve our skills in combat in different ways due to the fact we’ll often be exchanging our own tactics and skills with our new ally. Raiding? Don’t worry, that’ll come too! RAT is, in mine and many others’ opinions, one of the most consistent groups while raiding gathering wins on a daily basis; a lot of them flawlessly!

▬▬▬-[ The Raid Brigade ]-▬▬▬
Last Monday, TRA and our very own TAC69 joined forces with: Vortex Security, FEAR and UAF to hold one of the largest joint raids/rallies ever. Sleet Clan was invited to attend this event but unfortunately could not make it as they had some internal issues to resolve. This event, planned by FEAR’s Sculitude, proved to be a successful night for all five groups.
“It was beautiful. I cried. I cried many times.” ~FEAR’s Director of External Affairs, Sculitude
Combined, the TRA Rally Center was filled with tons of members from all four clans. Soldiers were assigned to raid various groups and our team overall came out with many wins.
“The joint-rally/raid was ‘poi-tastic’. Our allies were able to come together and form a large-scale event, rallying almost over 100 people to ambush our foes in a quick, easy manner.” ~TRA Head Of Diplomacy, Pth159
For the first raid, many Elites from the groups (except UAF) grouped up in an attempt to beat John’s Cobras Fort Fang II. Unfortunately, they did not win this raid and withdrew forces after a long battle. They moved on to help the other raids.
The remaining TRA, VS, UAF, and FEAR members ambushed Astric Imperial, filling many of their servers. Together, our groups absolutely slaughtered AI and did not let them touch the terminal at all. We won the servers in no-time, coming back with at least two solid victories and a small loan of a million player points.
This joint-raid event brought all of our groups closer and helped improve both our communication and teamwork skills. Our groups were exposed to each others’ tactics and raiding strategies, and we learned a lot just by working together. Thank you to all group leaders who made this possible. More questions for our Diplomacy Department? Feel free to PM Pth159.
Hey buddernugget, remember that bet? Now you have to watch Sailor Moon with Shane… (Yikes?!) [ Editor’s note: Oh and he will.... ]

▬▬▬-[ What else? ]-▬▬▬
I have been asked by the Commander of TRA in person to clarify that a hoagie and a sub are two completely different entities. Anyone who would suggest otherwise will be shot at gunpoint by the Military Police by order of the Commander.
“You see, the real name for a sub is a hoagie. But some people call hoagies subs, they're wrong.”
We have one Captain promotions and two Major promotions this week. First up is the promotion from S-SGT to Captain earnt by Clonedude1010. The next rank up from that, Major, was earned by the double W’s. Make sure to congratulate Wealthyagentx123 and Warmaster236.
Feels nice to be down in the hood when at Tonigrad! If you haven’t been to Tonigrad lately (I know who you are you inactive baka) then you would have missed your chance to pay an extra bit of mortgage. If you were to look at most of the houses, you would see that many of them have names attached to fellow TRA members on them. For a short period Igoing allowed TRA members to choose which house they wanted and then labelled the house that way.
Join the TRA teamspeak if you already haven’t. The TRA teamspeak is the perfect way of connecting and communicating with your fellow TRA members in and out of any TRA events.

▬▬▬-[ Fun stuff (RAT special) ]-▬▬▬

Also this week, in honour of our new allies I thought I would do a RAT special.

hello i am tommy dingler, i have been investigating clans and their b.s.
today we will be reviewing asov, the most corrupt horrible group on roblox ( raa or die )
every since asov lost the war against RAA it has really been ruined, seviro stalks his members and slaps them in the ass in real life. everyone in seviros hicom has sent seviro 50 jew dabloons. seviro never does anything in his group. he usually hides in a corner and plays civ 5 with this random kid named noah. new members in the asovs are stripped of the jew coins upon entry, asov then simultaneously craps them out by exiling the noob who fell for the jew trap card. so recently asov had a scrimmage against the greatest statue game players (SCSG), in the middle of the night i snuck into seviros kid dungeon and heard him talking about mercenaries, his entire green jackets team were all mercs!!!!!!! i knew this from the moment i joined asov. asovs trainings go like this, they always choose the ginger kid last and give him -50hp, thank god i have no hair, i have a round blocky head. seviro has forever fought against the valiant, mighty, charming, glorious, fantastic, and glorious leader synoan, which was a mistake, a very bad mistake, the RAA's fought ruthlessly on the land of the C&G and seviro hides behind his teamspeak wall saying that they beat RAA 69-0, this was the greatest mistake ever. in 1950 a young man named lordintense went into a airport screaming
"ALLAH HU... i'm going to join RAA!" this man was viewed as a terroRAAst in seviros eyes, so seviro spread lies by saying that lord intense was palestinian. i do not recommened you join jewsov they ruin the clan world by stealing our treasure. they crap on the best clans like, JC, GG, GOOGLE, and Facebooks. this is tommy dingler, and there is your episode of "jews in the clan world"
asov rating -11/2

>We have already been working with the The Surgeon General Mohid12 to make an effective training place for the Combat Medics which will be unique for TRACM.
GRAMMAR ALERT:
It should be "... the Surgeon General, Mohid12, ..."
His title (Surgeon General) already identifies him, so his actual name should be set off by commas because it is unneeded - we already know who you're talking about. |
|
|
The old motto?
Wasn't it "We kill and die with heads held high! TRA Forever!" or something like that?

Great newsletter once again, Shane and helpers!
