TRA Newsletter
Issue 178 “Yellow fever”
19th of July, 2016

▬▬▬-[ Notice ]-▬▬▬

While last week I took on Epik as a writer guest writer (and pretty much full-on from this week onward) I have also lost another writer. Nikolai001 has resigned from both TRA and ROBLOX and thus will no longer be helping me write sections of the newsletter. A real shame seeing as how I dedicated a notice to a new section he wanted to introduce a while back.

Also this week we will be introducing the Trainer of the week section in the wrap-up. Of course there was no newsletter last week due to an insufficient amount of topics so I will be covering both last week and this week. Well, I say I will be covering it but Co-Head of Trainings Antonio will be sorting that out for me.

▬▬▬-[ The Connoisseur Games ]-▬▬▬

Finally! An article which I have been desperately waiting to write for near-on a fortnight! As a massive fan of the cult classic Japanese movie Battle Royale, I was personally busting to show TRA the latest round which Nawmis had been working on for Avalon. This newest game mode is reminiscent of the FFA round but with added in cinematic elements notably from Battle Royale and the Hunger Games (Nawmis admittedly had never seen Battle Royale).

This newest round involved dropping all of the contestants, I mean trainees, on to a deserted island with nothing but a parachute to ease their landing. The island is decorated with a mountain in the centre and many ruined facilities dotted around the outer rim of the dome, much like in Battle Royale (well, the dome is more Hunger Games).

In the movie, the characters are given a bag containing a random weapon ranging from a crossbow to a shotgun and even a pair of binoculars. Much in this fashion, the game-play of this round is based on random selection. Some lucky people might get a powerful gun which they can use to mow their enemies down whilst a small majority will receive a sword.

With this being the case, the new game can be clearly defined as a nonsensical round rather than a serious training exercise. It is extremely unfair that some people will receive powerful weapons as opposed to melee instruments which as demonstrated in the movie can lead to some unintentionally funny moments.

It would be advised that anyone who wants to use this round should use it knowing full well that it shouldn’t be taken too seriously like the anime rounds of the past. If you would like to use this round in a training in the future, simply use the command “:load brisland”. Beware though, the map is rather large and so there may be some lag upon the loading of the map.

▬▬▬-[ Meeting the conditions ]-▬▬▬

Sadly StaticSeven will not be with us for what we can only deem to be a few months. Static is in the process of moving houses and thus will not be active throughout the Summer period. However, he will be remaining in the Colonel rank as it is hoped that he will return to us shortly and resume his roles.

With StaticSeven’s inactive period beginning, GravityTyphoon was made Head of Conditional Divisions in his place. I would not blame you if the first thought that popped into your head was “What the heck is a Head of Conditional Divisions?” I guarantee you, it is a real role in the group. The role just hasn’t been utilised well up until this point, and I should know as I was the first to receive this “historic” role.

GravityTyphoon hopes to use this title to its full advantages and return life to some of our less frivolous Divisions such as the Armoured Division and Combat Medics. The Combat Medics have gone through some changes since this position adjustment. The Armoured Division however has been made unofficial until they are able to sort out their tech.

How do I know that our glorious new Head of Conditional Divisions is up for the job and ready to give it 100%? I asked him myself how he felt when he received the title, his response to this was: “Nice.” Now if those aren’t the words of a very inspirational wordsmith then I don’t know what. But hopefully Gravity can turn these Divisions around and give them the burst of energy they once had.

▬▬▬-[ Relieving Expectations]-▬▬▬

With the Armoured Division officially being declared kaput for the time being, the Combat Medics remain the sole surviving Conditional Division at this point in time. But there’s nothing that the Combat Medics can do to heal their recent activity, or is there? With Whatthekevin’s recent inactivity, he has decided to step down from his position as Surgeon General.

"I simply don't have time for this. Much less time to host (Summer school),” Kevin declared upon announcing his resignation at the the Combat Medic meeting last Sunday. With Kevin stepping down, Mohid12 has taken his turn on the pedestal and become the latest Surgeon General. This is alongside his three new Assistant Surgeon Generals: Lowawesome411, WealthyAgentx123 and EpikDuckLord.

Under this new leadership, the Combat Medics seem to have taken an interesting turn. The leaders have spent hours on the prowl searching for accounts not in the main Division and exiling them. New guidelines and reforms are scheduled to take place and an emphasis was put on working with Trello.

To declare this new change of heart, our glorious General Hacted has these words to say (just trying to fatten this section out to be honest):
"The Combat Medics is one of the oldest divisions still in existence today. I'm glad that the leadership of TRACM has decided to come forward and start the gears up again. I'm confident in Mohid's ability to lead TRACM back to the point it was once at."

The Combat Medics is great for any newcomers in TRA who want hands on experience in other sectors which aren’t usually covered in normal TRA Training. Join the Division here!

▬▬▬-[ What else? ]-▬▬▬

Our own General Hacted has managed to get TRA officially endorsed by Big Man Tyrone. Not only this but the man himself has complimented Hacted on him being the greatest General in TRA, must be true if it’s coming from Tyrone right? Check it out on Hacted’s channel.

As always, down to the officer promotions. We received one new Marshal last week, a name mentioned quite often: Hockeychris11. One old/new Major as well with Igoing2win. We also received a variety of new Captains including: Lowawesome411, EpikDuckLord, Bobywii and Buddernugget1.

Tryouts for the MP’s have been brought back as well with the most recent one being held just before this newsletter was released. The new full MP schedules, including try-outs and meetings can be found here.

The Elites managed to score a last minute ticket into the Battle of Champions after it was discovered that the previous group they had lost to were actually using admin to win their match. Unfortunately our team (comprised of: Hockeychris11, Junklover, UavisOnline, Ellyha, GravityTyphoon and Oddity) lost to the BEAR Predators. They did win a friendly scrim against VSST earlier that day though.

Some comic book themed titles released at Avalon over the past few weeks as both the Marvel and the Batman packs were introduced to the title system. I’m still waiting for my Jubilee title to be added into the Marvel pack, Nawmis. ~ Sailor Moon ShandalfGreyhame

▬▬▬-[ Fun stuff ]-▬▬▬

This section of the newsletter is dedicated to me (Shane) having a bit of fun with the newsletter. Thus I have produced three different word games which I hope will fulfil that need for TRA members as well. If you PM me the correct answers (or poke me them on TS3) I might give you a shout-out.

▬▬▬-[ Wrap-up ]-▬▬▬

Last week's trivia: TRA Project Excel was “leaked” on April the 1st, 2015. What was the base comprised of?
Answer: A baseplate and a brick.

This week's trivia: One TRA Fort has been revamped twice and numerically labelled with the same name each time, which fort was this?

This brings the 178th 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!
