19/10/2012 TRA Official newsletter issue 39 Let the battle begin
Creator's note: Not much to stick in here this week. Hi?
Hey there TRA members. Welcome to yet another issue of the TRA newsletter, this has been one heck of a week. The main event? War of course! We are going to cover our new war with the X-101st Legion and our new logo, plus, we got a new uniform and I have a few things to remind you guys about.
Earlier this week, we went to war with the X-101st Legion Main Army. Rhinguin and Kingcon12 are going to give us some info about how the war is progressing. Last Saturday, we went to war with X101st Legion after a discussion at the TRA High Rank meeting. TRA, at the time of writing, is winning 26 – 1 on raid wins. The first one to a score of 50 raid wins will win the war. TRA have mixed opinions on the war. TRA feel that the war is a good thing for the group, because we have become a lot more active now that we have something to do. Plus, a lot of members find the base fun to raid, and enjoy the sense of achievement when they win. On the other hand, however, TRA feel that X-101st aren’t putting their heart and soul into the war. We are facing few attacks upon our own base, alongside a rather laggy raid experience and a huge amount of X-101st members leaving the game, stopping the timer and delaying TRA’s inevitable win. Tonitoni’s opinion on the war is that “The war is currently very much in our favour. x-101st is too inactive to handle all their enemies at once, so I do not see them getting close to our raid win score, which lies on 26 documented raids, although there are many that have not had their screenshots approved or uploaded properly. x-101st on the other hand, has one raid win, which is barely classified as a win, because you can't see what the timer says. So, unless they focus all their effort into beating us, I don't see them winning this war." There you have it TRA. The latest news about our war upon the X-101st Legion. If TRA gets some more wins in the bag, we can maybe even win this war by the end of the week. Good luck, and happy fighting TRA!
Now, Thorhayes is going to remind us about that Logo contests that ended earlier this week. The TRA logo contest has finally ended. The contest was running between Wednesday the 3rd of October until Wednesday the 10th of October, giving any potential artist a good deal of time to plan, create, and perfect their creations. Hundreds of people entered the contest and they were all if with a good chance at a win. What I don’t think anybody expected was that one of the entries would come from somebody outside of TRA. What people expected even less was that that entry would win. The skilled artist who created the winning entry is known as 'AlexanderTheGreat.' Those of you who are a member of our close ally, NFC, might know him as the NFC graphic designer. He created a cool looking TRA logo that has a glassy effect, as well as the addition of some pumpkins and a color change. I think I speak for all of TRA when I say that this logo looks truly amazing, and that we thank him for his outstanding contribution to TRA.
This week also featured the release of a new uniform for recruits. The uniform is very similar to the previous recruit uniform, but features some new armbands, a belt and some pockets. The uniform is on sale for 6 tix or 2 robux, and can be purchased from the group store. Tonitoni's reasoning for releasing the new uniform was that he though the old uniform "looked like a pajamas" and because he wanted to “experiment with shadows in clothes”. The old uniform can still be worn, but if you don’t have the old uniform, or you have the money to get the new one, do so.
A few final reminders to you all. Firstly, never run during a defense. If the enemy takes the flag from us, don’t run, take it back. There is always a chance to beat back the enemy, even when you have just 10 seconds left.
If you go to a training, make sure you attend in uniform, and refer to your trainer as "Sir" or "Ma'am." Do not call them "Major," “HR," or by their name.
Finally, don’t enter a Normandy server just because it has your pals in it. Enter a server because it look poorly defended, or because it is being raided. Remember that the flag come first, and your social life comes second in TRA.
That’s all from us this week guys. I hope you enjoyed reading, and maybe you even learned a little something.
Thanks for reading TRA.

yet again, a brilliant newsletter! Just want to say, the views ryjohn posted there are, I admit, good reasons, but I feel there may be more. One of which is mine: tat the war with X-101 is quite silly, and I don't see the point in getting involved in a war because your ally is attacked by the enemy, and you shouldn't have a war with 2 or more groups against one. Apart from that, I think the Newsletter still has the glory it always has had :D Well done ryjohn! |

| Some people keep forgeting my clan, TRM. ._. Not trying to be selfish, but we have been working hard to help TRA in this war, with 22 raid wins. We want to allie, but we only have 90 members. Small, yet strong. Otherwise, great newsletter. |

"Tonitoni's reasoning for releasing the new uniform was that he though the old uniform" Small typo there I think. If Im wrong im sorry, It just looks like "though" should be "thought". Just posting my opinion on it. Other than that, I like the newsletter. Great job. |

Informative, though it alternates between British grammar and American grammar. It's 'pyjamas', not 'pajamas'. It's 'X-101st', not 'X101st', the latter being written (first article). Incosistent quotation marks and apostrophes: some are as if done using a word processor; others as if done on the website. Thor's article is partial; he includes his opinion: 'What I don't think', 'I think I speak for all of TRA when I say'. |
