WIJ Newsletter Edition 12 [0.0] Contents [0.1] Summary/Announcements [0.2] Update on Cerulean II and other things [0.3] Interview with Gentaurg regarding his recent promotion to Colonel [0.4] Interview with Offline, Highcommanderelliott, and Warriorlord22 about their promotions to Lieutenant [0.5] Training base review: Robertgold, Block01352, and Lolb3’s Sinopia II
[0.1] Summary/Announcements > Mainframe 4 We’ve had a one week delay on the newsletter due to the Mainframe 4, which we were originally going to have an article about. Of course, we totally forgot that there’s always a release thread that can take the place of the article! Check out the details about our new Mainframe built by Thepwnageone here - http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=171202161

[0.2] Update on Cerulean II and other things What’s to come: updated version
Back when the newsletter was a pretty new thing, we had an article called “What’s to come” detailing a few things that were planned out for WIJ. In this article, we’re going to revisit them.
>>>Please note that, while all information is directly from Sable Executive Gentaurg and licensed for release, that does not mean that all of this information will remain the same. It is subject to change at any time.<<<
> Cerulean II Cerulean II is a mashup of Cobalt and the original Cerulean, with a little bit of Indigo II mixed in. In other words, Cerulean II has vehicles that we saw in Cobalt; the design (of course) of Cerulean; and a few features of Indigo II. We don’t currently have any specifics, though based on previous reports it’s likely that Cerulean II will have a rusher and a striker. The availability (e.g., whether you have to pay credits or need a certain amount of KOs to spawn them) is uncertain.
What we do know is that Cerulean II may be released later this year, possibly by the end of Q3.
> wARC Update A couple years ago, SilentSwords announced wARC Title Update 2. In other words, a bunch of guns and a few other things. According to Gentaurg, we can expect to see some of these new features in a wARC update that may be coming soon. Again, we don’t have any specifics about release dates or anything like that, though it may come out in Q3 of this year, around the time of Cerulean II.
Let’s take a look at these new guns.
>> Heavy pistol Basically, the higher powered Y14 with a slower rate of fire.
>> Marksman rifle Similar to the W6 B55, the Marksman rifle will most likely be a single-shot rifle slightly higher powered than the B55. Check it out with this gyazo image provided by Gentaurg - /0b7d821243bc9ff49d189400c92727b6
>> Heavy sniper The heavy sniper will probably be similar to the W3 SUF - that is, an extremely powerful sniper that is (depending on where you hit the enemy) capable of a 1-hit KO.
>> Constant beam rifle The constant beam rifle, from the sounds of it, will be a rifle that shoots a constant beam. It’ll probably not be terribly powerful considering the constant beam in and of itself is relatively powerful. >> Automatic shotgun Imagine a T11, but automatic. Highly deadly.
>> Automatic pistol Based on the description of this weapon, it’ll probably be a mixture of the W17 and Y14.
>> W18 Back in W6, the W18 was released as a Shock Trooper only silenced W17 with a couple improvements. We’re not sure whether or not this one will be ST only as well, but it most likely will be highly similar to the one in W6.
>>> Keep in mind that, once again, these descriptions are not final nor necessarily official. The weapons are, but the descriptions are speculation based on the name of the weapon. <<<
> Secondary base There’s a tentative base in progress that may be released in conjunction with Cerulean II. From the sounds of it, this new base would be the replacement of Indigo II, or perhaps a supplement to it. However, we don’t know for sure if this base will be finished nor if it’s actually a Sable priority. Based on previous reports, however, Sinopia II, Cerulean II, and the wARC title update will be the priorities.
Stay tuned for more announcements!

[0.3] Interview with Gentaurg regarding his recent promotion to Colonel Recently in the corporation, we've had yet another Colonel promotion, this one is well deserved. I've taken the time to personally interview the new colonel- Gentaurg.
How long have you been in WIJ? What has been your favorite achievement? I've been in WIJ since early 2011 - not sure what my favorite achievement is, might be yet to come. Joining WIJ was, and still is a decision I never regretted. I look forward to serving in the WIJ High command, as its been a personal goal of mine.
What do you plan on doing as a Colonel within the corporation? I'm the executive of sable so I'm going to lead sable, the "building/scripting/etc" group of WIJ. This group plays a key role in WIJ's technology/development.
What experience do you bring into the WIJ high command? I've been in WIJ for years now so I guess that's the experience. I've shown nothing but dedication for this group, and will continue to do so.
If a colonel were to become marshal, who do you think is best fit? l1611- Luc is a dedicated member within the corporation. He is an exceptionally hard worker, and provides the experience the WIJ HiCom needs. Although I doubt a Marshal election would take place, I believe luc is our top candidate.
What is your favorite thing in WIJ? The community- it's something that is only offered specifically to WIJ. You will not find another community like ours.

[0.4] Interview with Offline, Highcommanderelliott, and Warriorlord22 about their promotions to Lieutenant WIJ has recently promoted yet another batch of new Lieutenants. This article features interviews with all the new officers.
Highcommanderelliot:
>Plans for WIJ as an Officer: “I want to help bring activity back to WIJ and give the same experience I had when I was a new member, which was one of the greatest moments of my life. I hope to do this by working with Sable to bring exciting new places (which is happening) to WIJ and to host good trainings to train the new members in the ways of WIJ.”
>Goals for your future in WIJ: “My main goal on ROBLOX was to become a high rank in a clan and I achieved that recently so future plans haven't really been on my mind but I guess I would love to make either a cool YouTube series of small movie based around WIJ lore and make WIJ something more than a clan. I would also love to contribute to a great WIJ place building wise through Sable in some way.”
>Favorite thing about WIJ: “There's so many good things about WIJ I would take up the whole newsletter but the biggest thing I guess is the community. Everyone, even though we have bad instances between WIJians, works together and in a sort of virtual harmony. People are kind to one another and help each other out; it's really unlike anything I have ever seen or experienced ever before.”
>One thing people should know about you: “Well I don't really keep secrets or anything like that but really enjoy editing and making videos, I used to do my own ‘lets play’ series on many games and convert them into DVDs which I have in a enormous shelf. This is why I really want to see or make a WIJ movie or series for my own enjoyment as well as the people who would watch it. Another thing I guess people should know about me is that I really enjoy trainings and try to be polite and straight with my trainees but I can be very strict if necessary.”
Warriorlord22
>Plans for WIJ as an officer: “My plan as a WIJ officer is to get to know the many great people among WIJ's lower ranks. Hopefully now that I am an officer, I can use my knowledge and leadership skills to not only become a role model, but to also help entice new WIJians to stay and enjoy the great things WIJ has to offer them.”
>Goals for your future in WIJ: “It is in my blood to lead, both inside and out of ROBLOX, when necessary. While I was enthused to become an officer and finally take a commanding role, I want to further progress to the Captain rank. I'm hoping with some dedication to WIJ and contributing as much as I can, I will be able to get there.”
>Favorite thing about WIJ: “It's been said so many times already by so many other interviewees, it's almost become a cliche, but I stand by them when I say the best part about WIJ is it's amazing community of people. Even during WIJ's dormant states, WIJ members constantly communicate on social platforms like steam (and in the past xfire). The WIJ Shock Troopers, while off duty, play other games not on Roblox where they still keep in touch. WIJ members always have each other’s backs on forums, and the list goes on. It makes me very happy to be part of a group of such tightly knit people.”
>One thing people should know about you: “I'm a very approachable person. As an officer, I don't want anyone to be scared to talk to me or ask me anything. If you don't know something, don't hesitate to ask, I won't think you're stupid. I am everyone's friend and want everyone to know it. At the same time, I would also like to be treated with respect, and when I ask something of on-duty WIJians, I would appreciate it to be done.”
Offline
>Plans for WIJ as an officer: “My plans as a WIJ officer is to maintain WIJ's activity to the maximum. I try my best to host various activities, such as trainings, patrols, and possibly raids. I also plan on helping the WIJ High Command, whether the affairs are internal or external.”
>Goals for your future in WIJ: “My only goal is to stay dedicated to the corporation. This goal, of course, will be achieved overtime. Dedication is not something that strengthens overnight, rather contributing to the corporation can strengthen it. My dedication will be towards the high end of the spectrum, I can guarantee it.”
>Favorite thing about WIJ: “The community, for sure. WIJ offers such a tightknit community. Any active member, despite any rank, will be given nothing but respect. WIJ has, in my opinion, the greatest community clans have to offer. My tip to those who join WIJ is to simply stick out, be yourself, and relax.”
>One thing people should know about you: “I bring plenty of experience to the table. I'm recognized as a loyal, active, and ecstatic high rank in many other clans I've been in the past. Some notable titles I've had include being a RAT Admiral, UCR Councilman, SCR/HAU/RS 2iC/3iC, Sleet Clan Lord, etc. However, past clans I've been it really show no match to WIJ, to be honest.”
Congratulations to our new Lieutenants and welcome to the Officer core!

[0.5] Training base review: Robertgold, Block01352, and Lolb3’s Sinopia II The real Sinopia II was recently released with a slight catch - it won’t actually stay as Sinopia II for long. This training based, built by a few Sable members, is penned to become *the* official WIJ training base, it just needs to be approved and stuff. This is the “approved by SilentSwords” project you may have heard about from Robertgold. Without further adieu, let’s check it out.
> First glance Sinopia II has a pretty nice design, using what Robertgold calls WIJ’s new architectural style. Two neon bricks are on both sides of a WIJ banner on the trainer’s podium. With fine curves and a pretty large amount of neon, and the trademark planet right outside the window, this definitely looks like a modern WIJ training base.
> The Simulations Sinopia II is a fresh training base with intuitive designs and a couple throwbacks. In Obstacles1, the trainees jump onto a striker and then onto various WIJ debris and a few rocks to get to the end. In the next obstacle course, we see a refined version of the original Sinopia obstacle course with conveyors.
SwordsOpen is your average 1v1 sword fight - a large room with a medium sized arena in the middle. SwordsNarrow, however, is a little more unique - this one is more of a fencing arena. We’ve seen this before in a few other bases, but it’s never really been widely used.
Gunfights There’s a 1v1 and a 2v2 arena for gunfights. This is actually one of the few places where there’s a specific place for 2v2 fights, which is pretty nice. Both arenas have a pretty nice design, and neither are just the total run-of-the-mill walls and barricades.
Raidstorm is a pretty nice one. It actually looks mildly similar to Cerulean with the covered, stone raider spawn and the large WIJ wall with a moat. This simulation is rather large.
We see similar things in the other sims - they’ve all got a pretty nice design and use an interesting and unique modern WIJ schematic.
> Conclusion This is an excellent base with a variety of simulations designed to challenge trainees. It’s one of the few up-to-date holo training bases out right now, and definitely is worth training at.

| You know, are these things really going to happen? Saying these things gets everyone eager and excited. What about WIJ Metro? are we going to do anything with that? |
