~Introduction~
Hello, UCR, welcome to The Weekly United Edition 2! In this edition we will be telling you about everything that has happened over the past week, for example, our war status and all new Mx Council Reform! So, enjoy edition two and if you have any suggestions, let me know via xFire.
==========================================================================================
~Achievements~
Congratulations to gh98765 for joining the Department of Progression as a Colonel! He now works under Metsfan2009 and will be helping with the new middle ranks reform which will be explained later on in this newsletter.
==========================================================================================
~Score on the War~
As all of you probably know, we are now involved in a war against the Sky Clan of ROBLOX. This is going very well so far and we are winning by far. The score is 8:0 to UCR! I thank all of you for doing such a great job so far and all of the HRs that have been willing enough to hold raids against SCR!
Extra information about the SCR/UCR war:
After a vote within the war council, the United Clan of ROBLOX has decided to declare war on Arkose's The Sky Clan of ROBLOX. UCR has decided to declare war on Arkose's SCR for the reason that we felt like it. We wanted a war to fuel our activity and thus we chose SCR as an enemy. Winning this war is quite simple, either SCR or UCR will have to reach 10 official raid wins. There will be no final battle or any other way of ending war, it is as simple as reaching 10 raid wins.
Any raid victories secured prior to this announcement are irrelevant. Only raids with raid codes clearly visible in the image will be valid and counted. Targeted exploits and admin abusing will not be tolerated by either side. At any point if SCR chooses to surrender to UCR, they can through an official thread posted by their leader or second in command. Both clans are permitted to use allies for DEFENDING only. Clans cannot use allies to raid the other clan's fort.
Official Rules:
#1. Only raids with visible raid codes are valid
#2. Raids victories prior to this war announcement are not valid
#3. The use of allies is permitted, but only for defending the clan's fort
#4. There should be no abuse of allies during the war
#5. No type of glitching, exploiting, or hacking is permitted (this includes FPS Throttling)
#6. Members cannot join the defending clan's team to make raids valid, only official members of the clan can make raids valid
#7. All SENSIBLE fort rules of both clans must be followed
#8. Admin abuse of any form is prohibited during the war
#9. If any server is exploited, the raid is deemed invalid.
#10. If proof of exploit by a certain member is provided (most likely by video), then rightful actions must be taken towards that member
#11. Use common sense, there are rules which aren't included. Obviously any form of cheating or tricks that take advantage of war are not allowed
#12. You cannot find loopholes in the war terms and take advantage of them, you must fight fairly
#13. Neither clans can claim an auto win at raids, defences, nor the official war itself
#14. If any of the above war terms are broken and there is proof provided, then the other clan can claim an UNCONDITIONAL victory. This means they can claim victory until the clan breaking the rules agrees not to further break the war terms. If the offense is continuously repeated, then a conditional victory can be claimed.
#15. Both forts must be functional during the war and deemed fair by a third party

TBS lost a scrimmage against UAF, although they put up a good fight. Congratulations to Bomberguy for having the most KOs and best KDR out of everyone by the end!
We also won a practice raid against VS at Velocity on Thursday!
FOR THE SHIELD!

~ Middle Rank Reform~
[-1-] Introduction [-2-] UCR Mx Council [-3-] Academy Ranking System [-4-] Conclusion
[-1-] Introduction:
Due to the recent controversy over the quality of trainings held by Majors, the UCR exam policy regarding [L7] Lieutenant to [M1] Major has been modified. This guide will explain the new policy and how it works. This new system may be more challenging for some, but we believe it will sort out quality leaders and trainers from our pool of Lieutenants, and deny those unfit for the job.
[-2-] UCR Mx Council
In order to reach the rank of [M1] Major from [L7] Lieutenant, Lieutenants must enroll in the Mx Academy for 1-2 weeks, until a Manager or Overseer believes they are ready for review. When they first join, they will be given the rank of [MiT] Major in Training in the Mx Council. When they are enrolled in the Mx Academy, assigned HRs and other Middle Ranks in the Mx Council will hold sessions to explain the basic things majors need to know, like enforcing discipline, holding a proper training, events, meeting, raids, etc. Each person will be assigned a mentor, and will participate in private sessions during the 1-2 week period depending on their progress.
[-3-] Academy Ranking System
The ranks of the Mx Academy are as follows:
[MiT] Major in Training- This rank consists of the Lieutenants currently participating in the training program which teaches the MiTs how to properly act as a middle rank. In order to be moved up to the Ready for Review rank, an MiT must be recommended to a Manager or Overseer after being mentored by a trainer of the group.
[RfR] Ready for Review - This rank is given to Lieutenants who have shown they are ready to their mentor, and have been recommended for review. They will then be evaluated by a group Manager or Overseer, to see if they have what it takes to be a Major. If the member fails the evaluation/field test, they will be demoted back to MiT and will undergo another 1-2 weeks of training with a mentor.
[M1] Major - These are current Majors of UCR, who are expected to be good leaders who help keep the clan active.
[M2] Captain - These are the current Captains of UCR, who host trainings and other events to keep UCR active, and mentor Majors by setting an example.
[M] Manager - Managers help manage the Mx Academy, make sure things go smoothly, and help with mentoring.
[OS] Overseer - Overseers run the Mx Academy, and are incharge of all Middle Ranks. They work with Managers to make sure the MR system is running smoothly. (Side Note- Metsfan2009 and members named on the bottom of the forum are in charge of the Managers and Middle Ranks)
[O] President - The President is the leader of UCR, who has final say in most decisions involving middle ranks - and pretty much everything else in the clan.
[-4-] Conclusion
We hope this new system serves to be efficient in sorting out good Majors. This should eliminate any of the false statements seen in written exams, and filter out those who are dedicated enough to work hard for Major. This form of testing teaches low ranks to be professional middle ranks, and those who are inadequate will not pass at all. We thank anyone reading this for their time, and hope this middle rank reform will spark a great era for the middle ranks.

~Interview with evilpuffle~ This week I decided to carry out an interview. As evilpuffle was the only person available when I wasn’t busy with school stuff (groan), I interviewed him:
How do you think UCR is doing in the clan world? “Anyone who posts a topic on the Clans and Guilds forum will get plenty or responses from other clan members calling UCR "dead" or a "scrub clan" but I agree with them only 1%. UCR is going kind of low and it needs to be boosted to gain more recognition in the clan word.”
How do you think we should accomplish gaining more recognition in the clan world?
“All we could do is do our part and hope for the best. We shouldn't wait around for a miracle, crying like Cinderella at the same time, instead, we need to take action! Replace the inactive HRs, come up with better systems and use group funds for more advertisements!”
Thanks for letting us interview you.
“It’s my pleasure. Thanks for having me.”
==========================================================================================
~Survey~
This week, we decided to make our survey a humorous one! Respond with an answer if you feel like some fun!
“If you went to VAKDonald’s, what would you order?”
Here in the DoMD, a personal favourite is the BigVAK, but we also like the UnHappy Meal too!
Also, a poll has been created to unofficially say how you think TBS should fight: http://strawpoll(DOT)me/403413/r (Replace "(DOT)" with "."
Please vote!
==========================================================================================
~Riddle and Joke of the Week~
Welcome to the more “fun” part of this edition!
The answer to last week’s riddle, “What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?” is… A towel!
Joke of the week: My little cousin said to me last week, “there are three types of people; those who can do math(s) and those who can’t”.
Riddle of the week: I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?
The answer to the riddle will be in next week’s edition, so in the mean time try and work it out and post your ideas in the comments! If you are the first to get it correct (and if you are in UCR and can still earn referrals), you may get one referral!
==========================================================================================
~Random Facts of the Week~
This week’s random facts are…
If you lined up all the “slinkys” ever made, they would be able to wrap around the Earth 126 times!
The oldest standing UCR HR with all his UCR HR time put together is Jkoscar02!
==========================================================================================
Thank you for reading the second edition of the Weekly United! Please take some time to answer this week’s survey because it really helps us decide what you guys want for UCR rather than trying to guess what will be best for everyone.
Check the shout tomorrow for the "more serious" survey!
Again, thanks for reading and have a nice week!
