We have been putting a lot of work into developing a system for Crossroads and are happy to finally kick it off!
What Crossroads is for: Drastically improve TAW's retention!
More information about the structure of Crossroads, transfers and open positions can be seen below. It is important to mention that this is a project, and we are ready to adapt if needed. For further input or ideas, feel free to leave a comment in the forum post:
Crossroads
Crossroads will be open for transfers for anyone interested in joining the unit. A reminder that all transfer requests need to be sent up through their COC.
Anyone can request a transfer into Crossroads via their COC and stick with us for upto 6 months to explore their next steps in TAW. Members will be able to either join the Dynamic Game Squad (DGS) or a specific game unit with at least 2-3 other members with one of them being a Squad Leader. The DGS play different games on a monthly basis, this game is voted on by the members. Their list of games will feature free to play games and games in beta/early access that are accessible and not already featured in TAW. We expect members to follow the code of ethics, communicate with staff and attend events. Participation in events is to the same standard of the rest of TAW but we do allow and encourage members to participate in other units' events as taster sessions as long as they have notified their COC in Crossroads. However, we do offer a more relaxed environment and do not expect members to step up other than being squad leader unless they wish to, or actively focus on recruiting.

Crossroads Division Overview
-
Hello TAW,
Many of you have probably already seen the new corps months ago, but there was a lot of confusion about what it was actually for. In short: Pathfinder is about starting new projects and innovating.
We currently have 2 divisions in Pathfinder - the current ideas and plans of them are explained below. Our plan is to officially launch the projects over the next week and open up our units to everyone. But before that, there are a few things to consider, and YOU may be able to help us with that!
What was originally called "Casual Gaming" has recently been renamed to "Crossroads". It is shorter and smoother.
But "Pathfinder" and "Outreach" still sound kind of dull. Do you have any awesome ideas for names, and potentially designs? If yes, please leave a comment in the forum post.
We are currently looking to fill various positions in our divisions within Pathfinder. These are for both the Outreach and Crossroads Divisions. Members joining these divisions will have the opportunity to help shape and structure these units as they continue to develop into fully operational units within TAW.
"Carpe Omnia"
As some of you may have noticed, there is a new division under Pathfinder Command! The Outreach Division has been recently established, and with that, we are on the lookout for someone who believes they are up for the task of being Division Officer.
But before you apply, know what we do here in Outreach. The goal of the Outreach Division is to reach out to developers of various upcoming games across the board and initialize first contact, and from this contact, gain access to opportunities that can be mutually beneficial to TAW and the development team.
As such, we are looking for individuals with keen eyes and with knowledge of various game genres, as well as being able to keep a secret or two.
"I stood at a crossroads, and fate came to meet me"
Crossroads is the recently rebranded Casual Gaming Division. The aim is to help with member retention by giving members the opportunity, time and support to find a suitable home within TAW when they find themselves at a Crossroads. This will allow members to join and play various different games, swapping between them that are not official divisions within TAW. Additionally members will be able to partake in other Division's events on an adhoc basis.
Crossroads will offer a relaxed environment with limited expectations of members having to step up, allowing members to play and explore their games whilst being supported by Crossroads Staff. This is in contrast to the Pioneer Division which is more self-reliant on members with direct support from Vanguard staff and has a direct focus on recruitment and growth with the intention of the team to progress to Vanguard Horizon.
If so, then please complete the following google form and we will get back to you. We will be inviting successful candidates to an interview. The basic information questions are mandatory but the others are not. So please put as much or little information as you feel comfortable sharing.
