Hi everyone,

let me introduce you to our clan: http://taw.net/ (TAW). The whole clan is HUGE (currently 2500+ players, numbers rising), but partitioned into several games, particularly NS2 (where we are 40+ players atm). TAW sticks out to be highly organised and filled with nice and well-mannered people. What you don't find here are the usual squabbles, racism, sexism, messing that goes on...

TAW held its numbers in NS2 of 40+ active players for over a year now, peaking with 55 players last winter.

We are always looking for friendly people, who enjoy cooperation and communication during their games. The requirements to join us are pretty easy to fulfill:
1) Don't be a jerk
2) Have a microphone
3) Attend our gaming sessions on a weekly basis (all of our players are active, which is an important part for us)

If you want to play NS2 regularly with a focus on teamplay and fun, TAW is the perfect place for you.

We play organised twice every week (Wednesday and Sunday).

We have internal tourneys, trainings and explore the game together, as new mods come out.
We also posted three competitive teams in the last season, if you are looking for that kind of thing.

You can check it out first and be a guest on one of our gaming nights. You can also watch this recent cast from our internal tournament:

Just message me on steam or reply here, if you are interested.

Greets,
tudy

TAW is an amazing community and an amazing first step into competitive gaming! Great guys [and gals!] friendly and a real joy to play with. They are probably the most vibrant community around at the moment. Im sure tudy or noekon or someone will be in touch soon :]

Such nice words :)

I sent you a message and Steam-Friend-Request.

Fresh blood!

Bumping this thread. I updated the OP with the current numbers, besides that this thread never outdated. We are always looking for members - competitive or not.

Thanks to one of our newest members - Wizards - we have now a server located in NA. Starting from there, we have some big plans:

We plan on spinning up a North American branch of TAW (called a Battalion in TAW-jargon).

This Battalion would be connected to TAW of course, but overall an independent community of EU-TAW. Currently we are searching for the members to make this happen.

So, if you live in NA-timezones and are interested in creating your own community to play NS2 the way it is suppossed to be played: this is your chance! Being part in the NA-Battalion you will have weekly gaming sessions with people you know and quickly become friends with. You will play the game with a strong focus on teamwork and everyone being in the same voice-chat-channel.

The EU-part of TAW is here to offer their experience in organising such gaming sessions. We also provide the infrastructure behind: like a Teamspeak-Server and a system to manage your members (taw.net) - all up and running and ready to use for our American friends.

Currently the EU-folks meetup on our public North American TAW-server each Saturday evening, starting at 6 EST (midnight in CET) for recruiting purposes. This will change however, as soon as there are enough American players in TAW: from thereon you will organise your own gaming sessions, scheduled at a time, which fits you guys best.

If you are interested in this just drop by at Saturday evenings and we can chat about it. Or you visit us on our EU-timed sessions (2 PM EST on Sundays/Wednesdays) to see what you can expect once the NA-Battalion is established. You can also just throw me a message here, or on steam.

he used to be friendly like you, but then he took a crowbar to the face

Just bumping this thread.

TAW is - as always - looking for players. We currently have 2 EU in the Season. We would love to get a third NA team running as well for Season 10.

But even if you are not interested in competitive gaming straight away you can join us of course. The times did not change: organized playing with friendly folks each Wednesday/Sunday 20 CEST. With enough NA folks we will also schedule a time, which suits these better.
