TDC and TDC2 on Clan Wars Map

Posted on:

TDC have regained a position on the Provinces Captured, taking #9 on the list.

Another great effort today, TDC2 fought hard, against 3 x Enemies in B-307, 4THGT and ZSQD. Winning through against all odds, they took the land off of GVN III, and are now back on the map.

It is great to see another TIDMADT Shield on the map, and now to strengthen their position in North Africa

Well done everybody.

WoT – Oceanic Challenge

Posted on:

Following a gutsy performance in the spirit of TIDMADT Clans, TDC-A was knocked out of the Oceanic Challenge last night by PANZAC – Drop Bears. TDC-A were paid the ultimate compliment by the PANZAC’s team, when after the first match, PANZAC’s changed their strategy to mirror that used by TDC-A. A hard fought affair where the difference came down to, not the skill of the team members, but the camoflauge skill of the individual tanks in use.
All members of the TIDMADT Clans entries (TDC-A & B) played extremely well, gained invaluable experience in a pressure situation and upheld the spirit of sportsmanship and good gamesmanship throughout.

November Oceanic Challenge

Posted on:

Last night TDC-A won through to the round of 8 against Mongolian Team with a resounding 3:0 win. Good communication, teamwork and discipline were the highlights of the matches.

A better turn out was experienced with 6 of the 7 team members being available for the nights endeavours, ensuring that a case of nerves could be easily accomodated!

 

One more match win, and TDC-A are guaranteed at least 1000 Gold. Go TEAM!!!!!

TDC-A wins. TDC-B defeated

Posted on:

Last night TDC’s two teams fronted up for the continuation of the November Oceanic Challenge. For TDC-A, ably led by ThaSpot, a 3:0 win was achieved. Thanks must go out to those who filled in for missing players making the night a success for TDC-A. Unfortunately TDC-B were unsuccessful in their bid to progress.

By the looks of the tournament standings leader board, it appears that TDC-A may have a walk through at their next encounter due to a no show by “Mongolian Team” in their encounters. (I am tipping that this will be challenged as they had a walk through for the round). If the walk through for TDC-A is upheld we must remember to show up and gain our technical victories!

TDC Strengthens their Position on Leaderboard

Posted on:

We have been on and off the Provinces Captured Top 10 list a number of times. Even when we equalled #6, we sat outside the Top 10. Well not only are we on the Provinces Captured Top 10 list, but we sit in a firm #5. This is a firm position, as we are actually equal #3.

There are also some future moves coming that will increase the strength of TDC and TDC2.

Keep up the great work guys and girls.

TDC-A and TDC-B Through to1/16 Round

Posted on:

Well what can I say. 5v5 Tournament during Oceanic time. TDC-A squad led by ThaSpot, and TDC-B squad led by Wilso, jumped into ATC, and worked out some rollouts.

After that, we jumped into separate squad channels, and prepped ready to fight the enemy thrown at us. TDC-A prepped for the battle against B-307, while TDC-B prepped for their match against Bluelight Expressed (81 Armored Regiment). All the prep work was for nothing on the night though, as the enemy trembled in fear at facing TDC, and didn’t bother showing up.

 

Tomorrow nights participants are believed that they will show. TDC-A take on Wolfpack [WFPK] 1, while TDC-B take on Tin Can Heroes Primary.

 

Congratulations to both teams for getting through. Now onto the next win

TDC Makes the Leadership Board

Posted on:

Last night was very disappointing for the members of TDC.  After holding Tlemcen for over 2 weeks, we lost our landing zone to 3AC.  Since we have taken land and held it, some provinces have gone back and forth, but we have steadily pushed onward to expand our borders and secure our territory.  Tlemcen is different.  Other than being our first province that we took and held, since it is a landing zone, it is the only province we cannot take back.

However, in the midst of such darkness, a bright moment emerged in the history of TDC. After the dust had settled from the night’s matches, TDC appeared on the leadership board.  TDC is now ranked #10 in the entire game in the category of “Provinces Captured”.  In fact, holding 10 provinces, we are tied with everyone up through #6.  That means, boys and girls, that there are only 5 Clans in the entire game that hold more land than we do.

Do not be discouraged!  If all the clans just went belly up with their treads exposed, it wouldn’t be exciting.  We may have lost our landing zone, but we are kicking ass on the global map!

And Stay Out!

KHR Kellys Heroes Reloaded vs. TDC TIDMADT Death Crew

Victory!

Texas Judge Caught on Tape

Posted on:

Sometime in 2004, William Adams found out that his daughter Hillary, 16, had been using the computer to download music and games that were not yet legally available for download.  He grabbed his belt, and told his daughter to bend over the bed.  When she didn’t, he beat her on the legs.

There are a couple points that make this case a little different, though.  The first is that William Adams was (and still is) a judge in Aransas County, Texas.  Among his responsibilities was the hearing of cases involving child abuse.  The second thing is that his daughter recorded the whole episode on a hidden camera.  The video lasts about 7 1/2 minutes, and shows the severity of the beating Hillary received, in addition to the language used by the judge while beating his daughter.

Since the video was made public, it has gone viral.  The repost on YouTube has received over 2,000,000 hits, and outraged viewers have been hammering Aransas County officials to file formal charges against a man who, days ago, would have been responsible for hearing just such a case.

Disciplining a child is every parents responsibility.  There are as many different opinions on how to properly do this as there are parents, and while the debate rages over whether it is ever appropriate to spank a child, what happened between William and his daughter clearly crossed the line.  Already, the dishonoured judge has been temporarily relieved of his duties while a visiting judge will take over his responsibilities.  The outpouring of public support has been huge.  All that is left to be seen is the outcome in the days ahead.

TDC2 Takes Land!

Posted on:

It will be a day long remembered on TIDMADT.  For the first time, both divisions of TDC are on the Global Clan Wars map!  Yes, the landing was a bit of a cluster, and no, they probably wont hold it for long… But TDC took land with a technical victory once, and they held their first piece of land for only one night.

TDC2 is still a long way from being “battle ready”, but they are grinding much faster than TDC did, they took land quicker, and soon they will be a powerful force in the game.  Congratulations, TDC2!
