History
TSA started off when Warrior of Zarona was driving home from a Princeton tournament with Copycat, and two former TSA members, Odin and Ghost, in January 2006. WoZ, as he was known, randomly asked his passengers if he wanted to form a crew, to which they all agreed. Though it was meant to be casual and unofficial, the nameless crew decided to train with each other to grow stronger.
In February of that same year, WoZ entered a tournament held by The Human Stampede, a former NJ crew. Discussing a name for WoZ's crew, Boocif, one of THS' members, jokingly suggested to call the crew "The Affiliates," where the crew would be directly affiliated to THS. WoZ enjoyed the idea and decided that this would be the name of the crew. Since it conflicted with Team Arlington's initials, "TA," WoZ decided to rename it "The Smash Affiliates." It was also at this same tournament where WoZ randomly asked Mud and Muz to join the crew. Ever since then, the crew had been training with each other on occasion, and every so often, WoZ would spontaneously ask someone to join his TSA. Heart Break Kid was the next to join the ranks, while Odin left due to his inactivity. WoZ also tried to convince Emblem Lord, at that time a THS crew member, to join TSA, but was refused multiple times. TSA also attended an unofficial crew battle in Deadly Alliance's tournament, the Gauntlet. It was after this crew battle that WoZ realized he wanted to organize the crew into an official group of players.
In May 2006, WoZ created The Smash Affiliates Thread in the Atlantic North section of Regional Zones. It's purpose was to provide the members a way to communicate with each other upon crew matters, as well as allow other players to read about the crew and who they are. At the same time, THS disbanded, and so Emblem Lord had finally agreed to become part of TSA as long as he was appointed the second in command. Along with Emblem Lord came his friend, Public Enemy No. 1, who also became part of the crew. Gundam Kitty was also eventually introduced as TSA's mascot. A recruitment policy was created, where players were free to apply to become part of TSA, instead of the former method where WoZ would randomly invite players into the crew. Raptorhawk, Sensei, Doyoung2win, Cactuar, and Sneak8288 were some of the members that were recruited through this process.
TSA was soon known as one of the more highly active crews in NJ - crew meetings were held once every week, and players from both NJ and NY were soon aware of their presence. TSA was also known for the amazingly addicting animated, or the Triple A, signatures, the majority of those created by Muz.
