29/03/12 TRA Official newsletter issue 10 APN-Round 4
Creator’s note: Early release is due to me being away for the weekend, so I won’t have time to write it tomorrow. I will need somebody to re-post this a few times over the weekend. Pm me if you want to help.
So here we are. 10 Weeks in. And a truly amazing 10 weeks it’s been. But more on that later. Let’s get down to business. And what a lot of business we have had this week. The main thing of course, being the war with APN. This week, I’ll cover the war and the recent exploits of games. Then we have a reminder to you all from Police Officer Groovyclone, and a special message from me.
First up, what has almost dominated the wall this week, we have our war with APN. And not for the first time either. Nor the second. This is, in fact, the fourth time that we have fought APN. Details from both groups about the results of these wars a little hazy, with some telling me that we won them all, others saying that APN won them all and some saying that nobody won any of them. Now, I won’t go any deeper into the past, so let’s focus on just this week. Starting on Saturday, this war lasted up until early this morning (GMT) and was going rather well for TRA. I saw raid after raid on the APN base, and whilst TRA suffered many losses, we pulled through and won 9 of our raids on APN (Information based on the TRA desc). One big raid that I took part in happened on the day that the war began, Saturday. These raids was led by LordRobobuy, and believe me, TRA swarmed the APN fort. In the end, it was 25 TRA vs 5 APN members, but they did not make it easy. As you may have noticed during the war, APN members are outstanding snipers, who are able to get a headshot on a player from across the map without using a scope. And they use this ability to great effect. We won in the end, but it was a hard earned victory, and that truly highlighted something to me. That we need to focus a lot more upon the use of snipers. So some advice to you all, join APN, and practice using snipers. It will greatly improve your accuracy. As some of you may have noticed in that last segment, I told you to join APN. Now those of you who have not read the shout will be thinking “But aren’t we at war with them?”. The answer is no. The war with APN was called off, mainly due to raiding being made impractical due to a large amount of exploiting during raids and due to heated discussions between TRA and APN members, even though we only had a friendly war with APN. The war has ended on a tie for both groups, and we are now allies, so no hard feeling between the two, and more importantly, no raiding APN. I saw good work from lots of TRA members who raided, and I say very well done to you all. You did outstandingly.
Now, I move onto the section that will talk to you all about the recent exploits on ROBLOX games. The two main exploits that seem to be going around are party box and the Pandora’s Box exploit. Basically, players are inserting these two models into games and then waiting for a player to open them. A party box, when opened, will cause all of the bricks in the game to flash different colours for about a minute. These are not too much of a problem unless they are used in bulk, so they are not worth a whole server evacuation, just put up with them for now. The more problematic exploit is when a person inserts a Pandora’s Box. These turn everything in the server black, and kick all players from the server when they are opened. So if you see one, DO NOT CLICK IT! Simply report it to a Hr and move away from it. These boxes helped to cancel the war, so even if you can do this exploit, go and do it somewhere else, not anywhere that TRA is involved with. Or better yet, do not exploit the games, it is unfair on everyone else.
Next on the agenda, I have a message from TRA police officer Groovyclone. This is a message aimed at all TRA members who are below the rank of major. You are all reminded that unless you are a major or you have written permission from a high rank. Majors and up are allowed to train because they have all of the skills necessary to train you to the fullest of your ability. If you are below that rank then you may not have the skills and may teach the troops the wrong things. Please do not host training unless you are a major, or you will be asked to cancel it.
Now, as promised, I have a very special message to you all directly from me. I have put this in because it is week 10. 10 weeks since I wrote the first issue of the newsletter. The first thing that I told you all in that newsletter was that I didn’t know if this would take hold or not. And it seems that it has. It has become a weekly part of TRA that has seen us through a war with NFC, a war with JC and a war with APN. It has seen a huge AA, the loss of a few high ranks and the addition of a few Mp’s. I have received amazing support from both normal TRA members and TRA high ranks alike. I even received a compliment from Tonitoni on the third issue. And, as a celebration of the tenth issue, I have created a shirt. I will admit that it is a kind of donation shirt. It is very cheap, costing either 30 tix or 10 Robux. If you want to show your support, I ask that you buy this shirt. The link is here: http://www.roblox.com/Show-your-support-item?id=76047498 Thanks if you do buy it. I appreciate it greatly.
So we come to the end of issue 10. I hope that you all enjoyed it and that you look out for it next week on the wall.
Thanks for reading Creator/Elite major ryjohn
All information is, to the best of my knowledge, correct at the time of creation.

@noob, APN is being hacked too. don't jump to conclusions, idiot.
You guys never won a raid either.. It was either exploited, empty server raided, or false victory. |

| I chatted with most of the APN hr's at some point XRT. APN played fair and so did we. There was just an awful lot of exploiting going around. I saw the VS base get exploited alot too, aswell as most of the games that I played. |

Reaven, just a question too, and be honest it won't affect anything. Do APN get sniper scopes?

| Everyone in Necronites have the same guns unless you are one of the 7 or 9 people in Raven Guard who get a special sniper and a handgun, I believe? |
