History
The three tenets of Western Tactical, founded 2012: | CHRISTIAN LIFTERS | Founder DrMoneypants is a former strongman and many of our gamers have 500+ deadlifts. We promote a masculine “learned gymbro” culture & love teaching new lifters! Our weekly Gamer Bible Study and our outfit motto “NON TIMEBO MALA” (FEAR NO EVIL), from Psalm 23, inspire us to speak Christ’s truth even when it’s unpopular. “If you love someone, tell them the truth.” | MOST POWERFUL OUTFIT | We decide alerts with the most base captures & defenses, pull off audacious steals no one else would dare attempt, and our armor platoons & base engineers are the best in the world, bar none. Over 15 Alerts, our platoon acheived an absurd 80% NC win rate. We’ll teach any player who shows POSITIVITY and TEAM WORK ETHIC! | NEW & VETERAN PLAYERS INVITED, but TEAMWORK REQUIRED! We Coach LEADERS! | No outfit has better leadership than WTAC, and we love to get involved with our players making plans and coaching both individual PS2 mechanics as well as interpersonal leadership skills. We strongly encourage intelligent players to do their thing and help the team, and have a rank called “Problem Solver” that we give to those who do the most outside-the-box thinking to help us win fights! The biggest thing I want is for gamers to come away from WTAC gameplay feeling more creative and empowered to lead their communities and coworkers in real life. | IMPROVE YOURSELF | PS2 is incredibly fun, but secondary to us. We want you to be happy and successful in REAL LIFE, too! Failure provides learning, but mediocrity is not an option. Come seize the day with us! ~DMP
Manifesto
At Western Tactical, our goal is to help our members improve both in gaming and in real life. We wish to teach invaluable lessons in leadership, personal responsibility, and the ability to train oneself in any skillset, using the backdrop of a fun and challenging gaming environment.
We expect our members to embody these two mottos:
1. “No one is bad at anything, they just haven’t practiced it enough.”
In gaming and real life, excellence comes from dedication to long periods of consistent deliberate practice. Nobody is born good at anything, and the people who are great at something got there through a ***lot*** of hard work. If you want to be good at something, you have to put in the work, and there’s no better day than today to start! You don’t have to do it alone, though: Reach out to knowledgeable friends and coaches to help you along the way. **When in doubt, *try harder!***
2. “Never satisfied, never good enough.”
Everyone can always be better, everyone can always train smarter or harder and find new creative ways to tackle problems. While it’s fantastic to feel good about your growth and achievements, we expect everyone to have a mindset of the never-ending grind. Even if you’re in the top 5% of some field, you could always be in the top 1% if you worked a little harder!
Finally, we expect our leaders, big and small, new and experienced, to follow this motto:
“Inspired, not Required!”
No one HAS to do what you say, in life and in PS2. Be a person that is so magnetic, so competent, so charismatic and so magnanimous, that everyone WANTS to follow your suggestions because they know that you will create a better way for them to spend their time than anything or anyone else.
Charter
Western Tactical strives to be a fully open discussion environment, but we also want to be a constructive and welcoming community of friends. We don’t abide censorship and we politely ask those who would seek to limit free discourse to leave the server if anything makes them uncomfortable, as this is a free online gaming community and participation is entirely optional and voluntary.
In general, please keep your tone positive or neutral, and don’t contribute to a negative or otherwise unhealthy atmosphere. Factual discussion is fine, insults and arguments are not encouraged.
