Here's a clip from AM 1's mission last night.  Although the Gump for Lucky hasn't been approved yet, I'm sure it will just be a formality.

SO KingExotic i a new CO, and we are promoting our new TS. But he has had a bad habit of kicking people "out of channel" instead of "out of server". So you get a gump award, and proper teaching of how to kick people out of the server.(I kicked him out)

favorite in replay but im posting this so new guys does not do the same mistake as i did, about two years ago i was very drunk and posted Deep dark secrets in the forums here on taw and the almighty Kingcheese gor wind of it and decided to gump me... People... dont be online on the forums drunk as i was then and as i am now.

These are quite funny. I've been in TAW for almost 2 years (joined 30th of July 2014). During that time I've already received 3 gumps and I have to say at least 2 of them are quite funny. So here goes:

1. In March 2015, I had been SO of LL 3 for about 2 months. We had a nice Google Spreadsheet with all the members there with their own teams and so on. My job as an SO was to keep the roster on the website up to date. Our FS poked me to update the roster due to some changes in one team,  so I decided I might aswell look at the other teams as well. Fixed the one team the FS was talking about and some other teams as well. After a week or so my DC (Blondie) comes down to my channel and asks me about a certain member who I had added to the roster. I was told this member had transferred out of LL 3 and was therefore removed from the roster. I had (while fixing the teams) added her back to the team and therefore gave her a couple of extra AWOLs for missing LL 3's practices. I still blame my FS for that.
   
2. Late 2015 when I was the CO of LL 3, my XO was worthy of an economy badge (earn x amount of gold in one game). Instead of giving him that badge, I decided to give him the Healer badge instead (heal x amount of damage in one game). He was also playing a champion who can't heal. My XO decided to report that to my DC who awarded me this boring gump.
   
3. Last, but definitely not least. About 3 months ago, I was in Sentinel (now known as Education Center) as a TS. One evening I was testing out Teamspeak's whisper function with my buddy kareltjee. Well, it ended up not working as planned. Instead of whispering just karel, I ended up whispering EVERYONE who was online (over 200 members). It was quite funny to suddenly get like 20 PM's asking about what did I say or mean. I was still confused, until like 10 people joined into the channel and told me what happened. Good thing was that at least I got my name out there

Those are my stories. I hope these will be my last gumps in TAW :).

I got my first one for breaking the Insurgency servers by pressing keys and buttons. Quite common to hear I restarted the wrong server or as in one case, I turned the gravity up to 3200 newtons from 800. This meant grenades hit the floor the second they left your hand, jumping killed you and door steps...oh door steps. They killed you too.

The second was for dramatically (and at the time genuinely) telling Kingcheese, Talisac and the rest of the Vanguard staff  my PC was still dead after I installed a new motherboard.

I then went to sleep at 10, woke up at 12 and went downstairs and looked at my computer and I pushed my graphics card in. So to say, it was not dead AT ALL. I went back to Kingcheese and he gave me that one on the spot....

Just a minor correction to Masser's post.

When he said gump was given on the spot, it implies VG staff took care of it straight away.

That was not the case as we were laughing too hard for at least five minutes!

Additionally as we are such a caring and sharing lot in VG, once we awarded the medal we then ensured all the SULs also had chance to comment on it as well.  Fun times.

That aside, it is good to see you back Masser.  Maybe we will see you helping another spin up in the new year.

ROFL Masser and KC.  Great stories!  I really loved the visual of nades dropping at your feet the second they were thrown.  Good stuff.

I have 2 , Sadly for legit reasons. 

The first one was, I gave a member a gump without him even earning it. Basically he got it for doing it wrong, but it ended up he was right and I was wrong, So I made sure I got one instead. 

The second one I got , was during TAW@WAR, everyone was talking about gumps etc, and at that point I was the only TFO, and someone from a other division kept saying he did not care and wanted one. Well he got one, But I got one as well, since I didnt let his CoC know. 

And a little secret, Check out Blondie his Gumps..:P

Cutthroat:

"Icarus gave me a gump for not having one already. That was a brief story "

I think that's the best one ! Hilarious !

But I don't understand, at the launch of Rainbow Six Siege (I was so focus and it was so tense) I killed :

- One of the best player I ever seen in TAW, MrSupra (definitivly my best headshot, ever )

- SheerRoachMonkey (not on purpose, even if I don't really like him )

- AbnormalSkillz, several times (but he deserved it )

And after my come back...

- EU CO Markoo (he's still wondering why, me too)

- Jaldea (but he killed me back the round after)

And I'm probably forgetting some other members...

Now we say that if you're not killed once by Alpha, you're not really a Rainbow Six member.

Guess what ? Nothing !!!

No commendations, nada !!!

That's a shame your honor!

And the number of times that I did administrative mistakes ?

You may tell me that it doesn't matter ?

And the times I enterred directly into the channels of Subrat, Balan and other Talissac...

To ask questions that I was the only one to understand?

A blow to finish under anti-depressants for life ...

Lucky you all, you get your Gump when I was deserving 10 of it.

Redswords GUMP of awesomeness 2013-2016.

1st: For losing our TAWGaming Twitter password and account....  

2nd: During member cleanup in the ingame Clan for Warframe i "accidentally" removed a TAW Streaming operations member from the Clan... 

I should have a lot more.. in regards of killing the hostages in Rainbow Six Siege, eventhough DOC our CiC tells me NOT to throw frags..  

Still waiting for a special made gump award for those "Redswords Frags Of The Hostage" medal.

I got asked if I wanted a gump medal because I argued on when and where it should be used which my COC thought it was only for in game mistakes and then after a long talk they asked me hey, do you want a gump medal and I typed Noooo and I got a gump for misspelling ''no''. It was a more of good luck in your new division than a gump though lol (I was transfering to dayZ on that day or so).

But I am getting one soon and trust me, I have people looking forward to it and it should be seen loud and clear  :)  Talisac knows what I am talking about. KingCheese has an idea all prepared for it and it was a very bad idea. 

And I bet Antistreak is dying to see it haha  First comment!

At the beginning of a mandatory  my XO was supposed to promote a member  from PFC to LCP because he was very active, a really good influence on others and over 90days in rank. We discussed that in the staff meeting before and what did my overenthusiastic XO do? bumb the PFC up to 1. Lt....nice job, we all had a big laugh and my DC was just shaking his head.

Well I gots two stories... One of me and of a fellow swede. Sad fact is, the swedes gump was better.

Anyhow, my story is one where I was acting medic for my squad in a mandatory of arma 3. Long story short, I ended up doing some experimental medicine on a teammate. He was unconcious and gravely wounded and rather than give him the urgent medical care that he needed, I ended up fumbling my keybindings and administered 600 grams of explosives into his face in the form of a grenade. I lobbed the nade, realized my grave mistake and ran away. One explosion later, I returned to my patient to find him in much worse condition but still clinging to life by some weird miracle. I set to heal him and I kid you not, I administered another 600 grams of explosives into his face... after the second explosion I actually managed to fix back to life and would you believe it, he woke up from his coma laughing his face off. Stands to reason, a celebratory ceremony was held and I was given a gump medal for my unorthodox medical practise.

Now this other fellow was named Zizoor and many of you might know him for his gump. This happened quite some time ago but it still cracks me up if I recall the events in my mind. It was a boring afternoon, me and Zizoor were hanging around in teamspeak and suddenly zizoor told me that he will test something. I said "ok" and after that everything fell quiet. Too quiet infact. So quiet that after 20 seconds I thought maybe something is wrong. Then it started. The single most bizarre event I have experienced whilst my stay in TAW. You see, Zizoor tested a script which allowed him to move groups of people from one channel to another but sadly, the script was setup incorrectly. What it actually did, was it moved every single person online at the time in teamspeak into our channel. Suddenly we had multiple TFO and AL level personnel talking as if nothing had happened but it didnt take them long to realize that they were all talking on top of eachother. And when the latency and desync caught up to the present, we witnessed what must have been an all time record breaking of section seven when everyone suddenly said "what the 'strawberry pie' just happened?!?" Needless to say, Zizoor spent the next few hours being dragged form channel to channel to receive the bollocking of his life and the gump was written in record time.

Oh man, I think I hold the record of fastest Gump ever earned after promotion.

EoY All Hands meeting on Sunday, 12-11-16. I get promoted to the CO of the WWS NA Batallion. All's good, right?

So we go into a training room, and we go into battle, me in my ARP Myoko. Juvix, the 1st Corps CC in on my team, camping behind an island in his Marblehead. (Tier 5 in a Tier 7 game, the mad ***). So, DC, DO, and several other members eagerly in on the operation, I pull up alongside Juvix, and swiftly unload 6 Torpedoes into his fat broadside. He sank quickly.

...5 minutes later a Commendation goes out to the ENTIRE TS SERVER that I got a Gump. Less than half an hour after my promotion and I got one. Knightsabre with Jealous. 

Do I regret? No. No I don't. If it was that easy to get a Gump I would've done it sooner. :)
