TAW @ WAR V!

Could anyone possibly post a link/explain what TAW@War is?  The blog doesn't seem to have any literature explaining what it is (and it'd be nice to know for those of us who don't know).

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, I'm new here, so I'd like to know what 'TAW @ War' actually is. I might sign up, but I need to know what I'm signing up for ;)

TAW@War is basically what the name suggests, a tournament that brings members from across TAW together to fight it out for the coveted TAW-Wide Tournament Medal (taw.net/.../taw-wide-tournament-medal.aspx). As for the tournament itself, it can be run as the team appointed to organise it desires; past games have included Urban Terror (I), Wolfenstein (II) and Team Fortress (IV)

Thanks Cutt, beat me to it [as usual] :)

To add to what Cutthroat said. Generally a game that is not a Division within TAW is chosen, just to semi-level the playing field. Last time it was America's Army.

Oh wow, I first started in TAW when AA was a TAW Division :)

Scorched 3D was TAW@WAR III's game IIRC; also the first game where I had a ton of fun obliterating my teammate(s) by accident with a MIRV nuke. :)

ProtoDroid: OMG thanks to you I found out about Scorched 3D. I am going to relive my childhood!

I also started in TAW when AA was a TAW Division

JanPL, make sure to drop a few nukes and Death's Heads for me will ya?  ;)

i will be there again

been there in all the taw at war tournaments

This would actually be TAW @ War VI as the last TAW @War V was America's Army

Isn't Team Fortress a TAW division though? Maybe we can play Warframe? I've never tried it but hear it's free to play.

yes its free to play but i dont think you can actually play against each other like team fortress

you dont have servers that you rent

so you cant make a server were only taw guys play on

plus even if it were so that you could play against each other you would need to watch each others player lvl and weapon lvl

some people play it here for fun and they have a high lvl or other warframes that new guys dont have

I was going to suggest a Shockwave based free to play game called Tankball. Unfortunately, when I tried testing it out just a couple minutes ago it would not work for me and instead got caught in a plugin player loop. If I can figure out how to resolve that issue I think it would be a fairly good game to use as I think it is different enough from most other games on the net that no TAW division would have an advantage over the others.

Tankball is a very simple 3D game where people drive around their tanks and shoot paintballs at each other. Teams are divided into 4 colors: Red, Blue, Grey, Green and they are able to choose which login name to use and which color to join. Scoring gives 10 points per kill, 2 points per shot landed on an enemy tank, -5 points per shot landed on your own tank, and -1 point per death. Games last 5 minutes and at the end of each round it tallies the score for every individual and for each team.

I have not yet submitted it to TAW @ War due to receiving a shockwave player glitch / loop when I attempted to log into it for testing purposes a few minutes ago. If I can figure out why that happened and fix it then I am sure it could be used as I'll be able to troubleshoot run anyone else with problems through it.
