TheArtofWarfare

So what is TAW? The Art of Warfare or TAW is a multi-simulation gaming clan of over 500 members. We are one of the largest communities of our kind offering 12 simulations ranging from America’s Army to World of Warcraft! TAW has adapted over the years to handle the changing landscape of PC gaming, and will continue to do so for many years. TAW is unique in the way the leadership grows and runs the organization.
The power of decision making does not fall to one person but to a council called Task Force Operations or TFO. This council votes on the important issues affecting the organization and constantly strives to improve every aspect of the community.

So, now we get back to TAW FarCry. We are a single division of this big community. Although we have around 100 members, we still provide a unique experience for every player. It is difficult to describe the FarCry Division with a single word, but if I had to I would say FAMILY. I have made friends in this organization that will last a lifetime. These are real down-to-earth people that have so much more in common than a love of gaming; we respect each other and the organization that we are a part of. I think many join TAW FarCry expecting for it to just be another clan of people that play FC together. They quickly learn though, there is more here than the game. It is the people that have built this family and have kept it strong. You don’t have to take my word for it though.

TAW FarCry is very different from other clans for reasons other than the one above. One of the bedrock principles of TAW is the mandatory practice. This means twice a week for 2 hours you will show up at practice. Obviously we have excuses when things come up, but the bottom line is you are there. This does 2 major things for the organization; it provides a stability and structure that is missing from so many other clans. This allows us, with the volume of people we have, to conduct our own internal matches between squads internal to the organization Also, these mandatory practices show all the other people in TAW FarCry that you care. It shows you care enough about your teammates to make a real life commitment to TAW. We realize that this isn’t for everyone. If you are someone that is unwilling to dedicate the time, then TAW is not for you. But if you want to be a part of an organization of people that have made that commitment, TAW is for you!

So I think I have covered the big stuff, and so if you are on the fence about giving us a try, I can say the following: “Just try it”.
You have nothing to lose. If you find out TAW is not for you, you can leave anytime without any guilt or sensationalism you might get other places. Our family is always on the lookout for those that will help us grow as a community and as people, and have a darn good time playing Far Cry. Thank You.
