TRA Newsletter Issue 165 “ Building Relationships” 29th of February, 2016
▬▬▬-[ Notice ]-▬▬▬
Apologies for the newsletter being a day late, I didn’t even think I would be publishing until the end of this week. My week at college has been quite harsh and I haven't had many breaks. However I have had enough time today to compile this newsletter together, however as pre-mentioned, it is late. This might also mean that this newsletter will be shorter than the rest.
This also means that Nikolai001 and myself have not had enough time to develop the new guide for the Newsletter. We shall return to that work soon so expect positions for writers and editors to open up.
▬▬▬-[ Lost but not gone? ]-▬▬▬
TRA underwent a small officer reform this Saturday. One of the unfortunate losses that we suffered was from ex-Colonel Dragonflame37. Dragonflame was a Colonel to be reckoned with in his hay day. His tenure as an Elite cemented his status as one of TRA’s most premiere fighters. Unfortunately, a while back Dragonflame started descending into inactivity as he had things to contend with in real life. He recently came back from this only for his computer to break down. We have hopes that Dragonflame will come back soon but if not we wish him well in life.
Dragonflame was not the only person to go. The small reform saw many previous TRA members being dismissed from their ranks. The names include: Cirivio, CivilLaw, Laripo, Hahaboomman1234, Sergeant2001 and KumaPichu. We can also only assume that they are also busy with real life and haven't had the time to come back onto ROBLOX. Well, except for Hahaboomman who we know retired a while back.
I will end this section on the lighter side by announcing all the people who were promoted to higher ranks (SSGT’s + anyway). We congratulate Eccentz on receiving Major and KidGetShanked, Sculitude, HGH11711, Kippo4, FearfulDesire1 for receiving Captain. The mess which the Officer ranks once were in seems to have been resolved for the most part with all the rejuvenations the ranks have been going through lately.
▬▬▬-[ Ongoing project ]-▬▬▬
The latest news for the Developers seems to quite mixed for the time being. Some highs and some lows in terms of the reforms happening inside of the division. This follows the notifications published by Nomis about the reforms for TRAD from the last issue (links will be posted below again).
Getting down to the lows we have to talk about the reformation of members within the group. The following members were removed from the group: StaticSeven, ClanNotGuilds, Nikolai001, dslorde, CivilLaw, Partixel and Master335. Obviously this was done as a means to reboot the division and start from scratch, something which I have been doing with the newsletter Division so I can sympathise. Just because these members have been exiled from the group doesn’t mean that they lack the skills required, in fact many of those exiled were at the top of their game. Those members will have the chance to rejoin the division again as long as they take the appropriate steps stated in the guide.
Aside from some controversy over the exile from some of the previous members, the division seems to have dipped it’s toes into a fresh pond for the time being with some new blood being brought into help run the division. General Lilbrees has been assigned the position of Co-Head of the Developers. This will be worked into his already busy schedule as the Head of the Elites. We assume this will be the last article about the developers until the next highly anticipated fort is released. We know we’re looking forward to it!

▬▬▬-[ Alpha Authority at Avalon ]-▬▬▬
Try saying that title three times as fast. TRA and AA have solidified their alliance by hosting their first training together with the group. The Head of Diplomacy, Pth159, led the training with Alpha Authority’s DanielHamlot. The training was a massive success with the two groups bringing together 75 members, a number not seen since the last Ro-War. The alliance with AA seems to be going to high places, however that is not the only Ally activity TRA has done this week.
We have also tightened our relationship with VS. This includes a training which was done today (29/02). However the training was far from the best event we did with them in the week. We also hosted a joint Practice Raid against them. Despite the odds of the win to lose ratio at the fort, TRA managed to pull out a victory. We will be looking to strengthen relationships with our other allies soon as well but for now we seem to be doing just fine in our alliance with VS and we’ve gotten to a very good start with AA.
▬▬▬-[ What else? ]-▬▬▬
Long-time friend of the Newsletter Gigazic has just recently recovered from his surgery and even hosted his first training today. We’re glad to see Gigazic back and we’re also thrilled that the operation went well for him too.
Like with most replacements, a new Head of Conditional Divisions also means a new guide to process. If you have a TRA division you would like to be official, or want to create one, just read this guide to see how you could do it. http://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=184562447
You might also notice that the guns have changed at the fort. The crosshair is different and the gun definitely feels strange when first using it for the first time. However don’t let that put you off, it is still the same gun.
▬▬▬-[ Wrap-Up ]-▬▬▬
Useless fact of the week: It takes a Sloth 2 weeks to digest it’s food (Dedicated to xKingSloth).
Last newsletter's trivia: Which ‘Natural disaster’ was the reason TRA moved from Kaeru to Arboris Answer: Flooding (rising sea levels)
This weeks trivia: Which member of TRA ran the official TRA youtube channel back in May, 2013
This brings the 165th TRA Newsletter to it’s end. Do you have any questions or concerns? Is there something which we haven’t mentioned that is niggling away at you? Feel free to PM ShandalfGreyhame or any other members of the Newsletter staff!

NIce newsletter :)
But probably a misunderstanding here, Partixel/EJ was never removed from TRAD. He left TRAD by himself and he was accepted back in a few days later.
