Greetings Everyone,
The Spring 2020 TAW@WAR is about to begin! Be ready to dominate 28 March @ 20:00 CEST/1:00pm CST.
What is TAW@WAR? A TAW-Wide Tournament for members to participate and determine who is a gaming champion amongst all participating members! To ensure no one has an advantage, the battlefield will be wiped clean as a non-TAW game will be selected; specifically a game that is F2P and PvP based. Along with bragging rights, the winner(s) also receives the coveted TAW-Wide Tournament Medal. This medal is exclusive as it is only awarded to two people or teams per YEAR. The Commander in Chief of TAW will present the medal to you directly, accompanied with the 5-star line shared with all other CIC awarded medals.
This spring, the selected game is IronSight! Duty calls in the battle for Earth's last resources. Enlist Now! Explosive FPS Multiplayer Action - Join an elite force and fight exhilarating battles.
Set in a dystopian world reeling from the effects of a catastrophic natural disaster, two warring factions, the North Atlantic Federation (NAF) and the Energy Development Enterprise Network (EDEN), are engaged in relentless warfare in the final battle over the planet's last remaining natural resource, Trinitium.
With the collapse of oil, Trinitium is now the dominant energy resource capable of not only powering entire cities and infrastructures but most importantly, unraveling the secrets to new and more powerful technologies which lead to a new generation of advanced drones and military equipment.
Ironsight puts you in the middle of a global war between international corporations and elite mercenaries. The speed and adrenaline of the game catapult you to the forefront of a cutting-edge and technologically advanced battlefield.
The event will be streamed on twitch.com/TAWTV. Teams are divided into a 5v5 single elimination matches in a bracket style; which means the team that wins best 2 out of 3 will move on to the next round. The Team or Solog sign-up is NOW OPEN.
Practice may begin 1 March! Please do not start until then :)

Frag grenades, artillery shells, and spells aren’t the only thing in the air this February. Love is in the air & so our promotions. Cupid’s arrows are sometimes a hit or miss, but one thing that’s never is miss is the deals the Shop has available for TAW members. We ALWAYS aim to please.
Show that special someone in your life (even if it’s yourself), how much you love them with the TAW Valentine’s apparel. Live all of our products in the TAW Shop, you can customize this on to any product our supplier has just by clicking on the logo, then choosing the pencil icon and changing the position/placing of logo, product or color.

We’re gonna sweetin this holiday sale even more with an amazing promo. So prepare to have your mind blown as we show our love to you.

Now we understand the product won’t make it to you in time for Valentine’s, but you can tell that person that their custom gift is on the way.
Friendly reminder to everyone that there is a surge of malicious actors attempting to hijack Steam accounts through the method used below. Recently, I received a few reports of accounts belonging fellow TAW members having been hijacked. They have been notified appropriately.
If you experience this type of engagement, the attacker will have compromised your friend's account and is reaching out to everyone on their friends list in the same way. The attacker gains access to your account by claiming they're a "Steam Admin" and tricking you into providing your password and Steamguard code, if enabled.
A Steam/Valve administrator/employee/moderator will never add you as a friend to talk about any of the following things. If Valve needs to talk to you about something they will contact you through an account alert.
A Valve employee will always have a Valve Employee Steam profile badge and a Steam moderator will always have a Steam Community Moderator Steam profile badge.
Someone representing Valve or Steam will never ask you for your items or account credentials, this includes your log-in name and authenticator codes. Do not share them with anyone.
What to do if your or your friend's account has been hijacked:
How to keep your Steam account (and any other account) safe:
PS: A "Middleman" isn't a real thing either, if anyone suggests one for trade, you're most likely about to be scammed. Once you've traded away your items, they're gone.
Stay safe out there!

It's not often that the Shop undergoes a huge face lift, but when there's discombobulation and finding that perfect product you want is hard, The Shop Team does what's best for our customers, we close the doors and hit the renovations hard.
(No kittens were harmed in the making of this gif)
Now that the Shop has completed it's renovations, we are happy to announce that our doors are once again open. We apologize for any inconvience this may have caused over our 2 days closure.
So what did we change?
So now with a clean new store, products easier to find & make the way you want, and another sale coming up on the 12th (details to follow in a different blog post), Shop cordially invites you to come buy that Swag you want and fill in the Shop Verification Form so we can issue you a Swagster Tab for your Dossier.
Attention all TAW members,
The TAW Shop is going to be going under some construction during the next week. During this time, we regret to inform that the Shop will be closing down each Shop for a couple days while we do some much needed renovations.

As some of you may have experienced by now, we are currently experiencing issues with our PayPal Micro account which handles donations below 12.50 USD/EUR/etc... at a much friendlier fee.
Reason behind the issues we are currently experiencing is due to the fact that we are under a PayPal freeze since the 12th of December. PayPal froze our account after not accepting our 2015 IRS certificate for our legal name, saying the certificate is too old.

Greetings from EmceeJay [MRC CC] and Subrat [MRC CLC],
We are excited to announce the new name of our Corps...*Drum Roll Please*.... Let's give a warm welcome to the Membership Resource Corps (MRC)! Our corps is dedicated to being a proactive and productive center of resources for all TAW members by supporting each division with relevant and timely services. We wish to promote our services to the members as a whole and rebrand our corps to reflect the change.
Take a look at our new structure to get a better understanding of what we can do to help you and your Division!
Digital Security Division (DSD) was established to protect TAW's digital content and online assets. Our members have spent thousands of hours creating content, some lost in the shuffle and gone forever. Now the new DSD has the capability to keep your division's digital assets organized and secure.
Multimedia Division (MMD) will remain the same in focusing on nurturing relationships between Army and Operations. Their goal is to create a community where everyone feels welcome with TAW wide event, encouraging members to stream, and getting your Division's content on TAW's social platforms.
Education Center Division (EDU) has upheld a continuous effort to deliver courses to our members and build on the future leadership for TAW. To ensure a high-quality learning environment for our members we plan to hold TAW University classes once a month and continuously update our OpenLearning courses to meet the needs of the ever changing community.
TAW Shop Division (SHOP) has all the items a member could want, and ALMOST everything can be customized. Purchase your TAW merchandize and show the pride you have in the community. Also, EVERYTIME you make a purchase, be sure to fill out the Verification Form, and get a Swag Tab. The more sales in items = more revenue that goes into the TAW Community Fund. This helps cover the costs for our private servers, software to run the site and generate funds to purchase prizes for tournaments.
Graphics Division (GFX) is here to create personalized seals, division graphics, tabs, badges, etc. Anything you and your division need to look fabulous, we can get it done with graphics!
We hope to see you pop in to our Corps and spend some time with our amazing group of TAW members! They are knowledgeable about the TAW community and what it takes to bring your Division to the next level!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want to learn more about each of our Divisions.
