TSO and SOCOP are joining forces to create the very best August teamspeak event!
The TAW Pokemon league is now open on August 18th @ 9pm CEST/2pm CST. We are inviting all pokemon trainers to test their might and see who the best trainer in TAW is.
For the tournament we will be using Pokemon Showdown which is a free Pokemon battle simulator. The format for the tournament is a triple battle using non legendary pokemon from Kanto (see below for the full rules). It will be a single elimination tournament played on the server linked here.
Feel free to practice for the tournament anytime - servers are now open! Sign up for the tournament here and good luck to all the trainers out there.
One thing to note is that this is the official TAW server, but it is open to the public, so randoms will end join from time to time. Also, the server will only be open until the end of August. Depending on the interest level, we may keep the servers open; meaning anyone from TAW can play on the official pokemon showdown server here.

Socop 2 August newsletter
Hello all and welcome to the TAW Radio August Newsletter. We hope that you enjoy this newsletter and learn about all the content, projects, promotions, and so much more that’s happening at your TAW Community Radio station this month.
As our new DJ’s complete their boot camps, they are set loose to roam the airwaves to spread good cheer for all that listen. This month we would like to feature our two newest DJ shows in celebration of their first successful broadcast. TAW radio staff would like to congratulate Akai and Hellhammer for their first successful broadcasts and this article is our show of appreciation towards all of the hard work you give to TAW radio.
Hellhammer is our first EU DJ and is bringing on the heavy metal to TAW Radio. His show “Into the Pit” is live recorded on Fridays and Saturdays 2-4pm EST. His show title is based off of the idea of diving into a mosh pit at a rock concert. In his own words, “Into the pit means jumping in with me as a guide for the listeners through different genres of metal. So that they will maybe find something new to listen to.” His show was based off of his love for heavy metal music. While his broadcasting, he will explain each song individually both in its individual content and as a band. He hopes to expose our listeners to good heavy metal music spanning multiple decades. His final thoughts are that he wishes his listeners gain an appreciation for this unique genre and hopefully to change a few opinions about this generally negatively viewed genre.
Akai gains the growing ranks of NA DJ’s whom was brought on by special request from Vermguy. His show “The Rabbit hole” is recorded live 12-2 pm on Thursdays. This show plays all genres of music across the board during his broadcast. In his “Shotgun patterned” brain, when you dive deep into the rabbit hole, you could start with classical music and end with Celtic punk. This show spawns from the idea that selecting one genre gave him too much pressure. By doing this, he can please all and go where his mind wanders and accept all user requests as he paves his way through genres and music styles. Finally, he wishes that all his listeners should know his unique love for history and looks forwards to many conversations with his new future listening base.
Similar to other battalions, TAW radio has operating fees similar to server fees and cannot run on just hard work alone. If you enjoy the services our excellent DJ's provide through their talk shows, prize giveaways, and other services, please consider donating a little to help radio continue to prosper.

We hope that all divisions in TAW utilize this service to get better publicity for their game and help grow our listenership here on TAW Radio

In an effort to provide you with the highest quality news you’ve come to expect, we have formalized the NEWS segment with official blasts from Operations CC/Flex DJ Cherry. This new element has been released and is broadcasted multiple times throughout the day. We believe this formal change will give our listeners a scope of the news and gain insight on the happenings of TAW as a whole.
Here is a big shout out to Atax for his hard work in creating a multitude of Commercials up to today he has successfully completed several commercials that are currently airing on TAW Radio.

During his stay in lifetime, at the request of PetersonUSMC and Cherry, Verm started as a guest DJ picking up shows when he could. Then at the request of SOCOP DC, Verm stepped out of retirement step up as SOCOP 2’s first CO. He says that he accepted and welcomed the challenge of creating a new team with versatile roles to revitalize radio for future listener enjoyment. Verm is always incredibly passionate about our TAW community and active listener base.
