TRA Newsletter
Issue 195 “Tears”
21st of February, 2017
▬▬▬-[ Notice ]-▬▬▬
Nothing much noteworthy to put in the notice this time around. 5 issues to go till issue 200 I suppose. Oh also I have the whole crew back. Bincat and Lowawesome have both been able to write something for the newsletter now this time around! Not really important but meh. Also there may be hashtags in this newsletter, ugh roblox.
▬▬▬-[ What is dead may never die ]-▬▬▬
It is with great pity and regret that I announce the resignation of Death_Wing, the one man for me and the gatekeeper to my own heart! Oh also GravityTyphoon resigned as well I guess? Feels bad man. Both Gravity and Death have been long-time TRA members and now Ex-Generals. RIP

I think Gravity was Head of ### Elites? Was there actually even a Head of Elites? Regardless there is now! Drew6670 has stepped up and become the new Head of Elites (whoop and congratulate). With this, Drew has also essentially stepped up and become General in TRA replacing Gravity. Congratulations Drew! I asked Drew for his thoughts on his new positions, he told me this: "I'm proud that after hard work, I was able to reach this rank. I will continue to serve TRA wholeheartedly". Lovely stuff man.
How did this happen? How did C1ONED actually manage to get Colonel after such a long time in the group? I’ll tell you how, bad border control. C1ONED is another mainstay in the Elite and now another part of the High Command. C1ONED will essentially be filling in the role which Drew left behind as Co-Head of the Elites alongside Thorhayes. I asked C1ONED for a quote, I got this: "the Elites powerplay to take over the Hicom is finally complete". Huh.. wait...

Well, well, well, TRA, if it isn’t time for another competition. The community affairs department has organized a gun tournament to be held at all new maps debuted during the tournament. ### weapons that will be used in this tournament are random, and can range from a pistol to a sniper, which will test ### versatility and skill of each fighter competing. The tournament will pit teams of three head-on to determine who wins some big-time robux; the first place team will receive 3000 robux, the second place team will receive 2,000 robux, and the third place team will receive 1000 robux (not per member, but for the team to distribute amongst themselves).
The tournament will be an elimination-based style, where as the tournament progresses, the number of WOs needed will increase (say from 5 in the entry rounds to 11 in the finals). Each round will have a time limit of 20 minutes. If neither team is fully eliminated at the end of a round, the one with the most KOs will win that round. In the case of a tie, each member would have one life and the round would carry on until elimination.
If you are one of the daring ones who wishes to partake in this tournament, you will need to comprise a team of three willing fighters (if you wish, you may also delegate one substitute just in case someone has to go to RGL and can’t defend your fort), then you and every member of your team, including the substitute, must send a list in the format below to ShandalfGreyhame.
The applications should contain:
Team name:
Captain/Player 1:
Player 2:
Player 3:
(Sub 1:)
Please note that all applications must be sent in to ################ by March 5th, which is coming upon us shortly. Information regarding times of matches as well as who will be playing will be distributed shortly afterwards. Contact Shan#################w6670 or Thorhayes for more information.

▬▬▬-[ Discorderly Actiony ]-▬▬▬
As many of you may have noticed, TRA has begun to use discord. What is Discord? Discord is a service that is like teamspeak, but aimed more at text ####er than speech.
But why do we use it? There have been requests for a discord server for a while so we decided to take it upon ourselves to finally create one! As well as the shout, we will be using discord for announcements for things like events and tournaments.
But discord isn't all business! Feel like you really need to vent by saying Colleen77 is an OD’er? Well the roast channel is for you! Have a meme you can't wait for your comrades to see? There's always the off-topic channel! And just want a normal chat? Well I guess the lobby is always open. The rules and other things are also on the channel.
So want to get on and join the fun? (If you haven't already) then ask for an invite link or log into teamspeak, there will be a link somewhere around the landing channel. So what are you waiting for? Come and join your comrades in our brand new discord channel!

▬▬▬-[ What else? ]-▬▬▬
Oh erm, congratulate Nurtch and Zepenguin4 on Major I guess. No but these men are doing some stuff with the Elites and I think Nurtch helped out during the JC war? Oh he also helped out during the CS:GO matches lowkey. Nothing else really happened this week.
Just a reminder for those the do not have TS3. TS3 is a brilliant tool for communication with your fellow members. You don’t have to use your real voice to talk to people but it does come in handy when we are training or generally in times of crisis or even just for casual use. Here’s how you can join our teamspeak: https://twitter.com/TRA_Newsletter/status/820305165982973953
