Hello and welcome to the new Vortex Security Newsletter! Months ago, TwistedPictures introduced the “VS newsletter”, which he wrote every week. Sadly the newsletter abruptly stopped, and no one tried to continue it. However, I have decided to renew it and get it back up and running, to inform the soldiers of Vortex Security on what’s going on in the clan!
This week has been an excellent week for promotions, Three exceptional soldiers have managed to be promoted to the rank of sergeant for earning the sufficient amount of 30 AP and 5 CP. However, a talented scripter-Superburke1, for developing anti-exploit scripts for our forts, has been promoted to the rank of captain- The first since the reform. Well done to Superburke1 and the three sergeants- D7w7, Girlsniper and Termin8ter7114!
On Friday Colonel Grimmreaper7 introduced a new system- the Captain’s Placement Award, Or the “CPA”. The CPA is a unique award designed to allow Ex-captains who have been “Undermined” of their rank to re-earn it through a brutal course, including an application form for why they should be accepted into the Award, followed by Obby’s, time trials, trainings and finally a list of questions to decide whether or not they have earned the right to be promoted to captain. The CPA will hopefully be running in the next few days, after it has been fully organized. For more info look at this link: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=63376900. The CPA has yet to be approved by Chibitobi, but the majority of Advisors approve, so the CPA will almost definitely be going forward!
This week Justgoaway1 re-released the old but great Vortex Security: Recruiting Centre & Harbour. The Centre had been out of business for a couple of months, but it is excellent to see this historic base up and running again…!
This week has also seen the promotions of 3 people to colonel, Teslobo and Adpunk4445, ex-colonels before the reform and excellent soldiers, and Grimmreaper7, a VS veteran who is currently working on the CPA! Congratulations to them all.
The building contest was won by Corporal Getkoed, who’s training place will now be classed as an official place for VS.
As mentioned above, Superburke1 has created an Anti-exploit script to counter the exploiters at the fort. One of these is currently in place at the forts, which is great.
The advance into the space age will be happening soon, along with new places and tech for Vortex. Watch out for any more information on the space age in the shout, or next weeks Newsletter!
That is all the news for this week, thanks for reading!
-Corporal Bass.

This is the average thought of a HR in VS: "Ok. I like that guy. He made a script." -promotion to captain- "Oh wow, he made a training base" -promotion to colonel- "Look at that! A former VS colonel who started to exploit VS bases is back!" -repromotion to colonel- "Look at awesomeshane, he's so good and active"-promotion to general(Shane and piede are completely inactive, and that "Oh us generals do things in the background" excuse is probably a lie. Shane is inactive. So is piede, but only in VS. He spends all his time on R.A.T. :3 ~Bloody |

| I don't think they should just hand out promotions to scripters, either. Anyone can script, and anyone can build, it just takes practice. See, if your a captain without having to go through ALL that stuff that the rest of the captains will have to, they will probably think of it as unfair. I joined VS for a challenge, to EARN my rank through hard work, it makes you feel like you achieved something, but if VS chooses their ranks unwisely like this, they may one day have an AAing colonel/general which will demote everyone or worse, exile them dependig on their power. See, an enemy wouldn't go through this hard work just to become a colonel and AA, it's not worth their time, but if they knew they can get promoted to captain just for scripting, CHA-CHING. |

Well, it's nice to see that someone else is making the newsletter.
And amateurism is high.
