-EDITION 4 OF THE VORTEX SECURITY NEWSLETTER-
What's going on this week in VS?
-The war with NFC-
As of the 20th of March, VS has been at war with NFC, a former ally. This war IS NOT a friendly one. Piede has said we are at war with NFC due to them being a "competing" clan. NOTE: You do not always have to raid with a HR, if you have access to the VS wall, you can host your own raid! Don't be shy, some active members nearly always come.
-Vulcan 3.0-
Vulcan 3.0 Has been officially released this week, as of saturday, for Raiders, Allies and VS alike to defend and raid! 3.0 Can be found in Advisor Imnotaguestimagirl's account, or in VS' personal servers.
-Blast from the past!-
As some of the older members will remember, such as myself, there used to be an amazing fort, and a great HQ. For alot of people, these places were there favourites, and they were sad to see them gone when 2.0 was released. But, as of sunday, Vulcan 1.0 and the VS:HQ has been re-released! I'm sure many people are delighted to see the return of these excellent places. NOTE: Vulcan 1.0 is currently down.
-Colonel's and Advisor's-
Due to the lack of trainings lately, 4 new Colonel's have been promoted to keep VS active and to ensure we get a healthy amount of Trainings. These people are Colonel Colt324, JP1228, Reku298 and 0Supadude0. Congratulations to them all! Also, 1995Jam2 has been promoted to Advisor, so well done to him as well!
-CPA programme-
In the last couple of weeks, the CPA programme has started, and Stage 1 has been concluded, and the people who passed Stage 1 will be promoted SOON, so do not worry if you know you passed stage 1. There is also a bonus task going on in the CPA, the task is to design a VS related Project or place based on a Survey of the VS members.
-Note from Colonel Grimmreaper7-
Colonel Grimm is currently looking for a new training place. He wants it to be a combat place, where you can use different classes, and also have access to vehicles. He wants it to be team-based.
-VS EXPLOIT'S AT BASES-
As is usual at VS places, the Fort's and HQ's are getting heavily exploited. If you are in A exploited server, you are expected to leave the server. Not complying will result in a loss of AP/CP if caught.
-The Vortex Security Newsletter riddle!-
A new section has been brought to the Newsletter. Every week a new riddle will be put into the Newsletter, courtesy of Legoagent2! This weeks riddle: In medieval England, a king's jester was imprisoned (the king didn't like the jester's jokes). The jester was locked in a room at the top of a high tower. The room had only one tiny window. The jester found a piece of rope. It wasn't long enough to reach the ground. So, he divided it in half and tied the two halves together. This made the rope long enough and he escaped. How?
-VS Interview with Advisor Lilly!-
mrrbatty: How long have you been in VS? Imnotaguestimagirl: Since January 2011, so that’s a year and 2 months. mrrbatty: What do you like to do in your spare time, on Roblox? Imnotaguestimagirl: Hang out at VS forts usually, otherwise go to other games like Lost Soul RPG. mrrbatty: How long would you say you spend on Roblox, every day? Imnotaguestimagirl: On weekends, probably around 7 or more hours, on weekdays about 5 1/2 hours. mrrbatty: Thinking back a Bit, When did you first become colonel, and what was VS like then? Imnotaguestimagirl: I first became a colonel when VS tried out that 3-Colonels per advisor system, and this is when Vulcan 2.0 and Valor had been released, about the week after their release. mrrbatty: When you were awarded Advisor, how did you feel? Imnotaguestimagirl: I felt pretty great. I believe, besides the other advisors, the first person to notice and congratulate me was my friend possomman. mrrbatty: What VS do you prefer? The new VS, with the reform, AP, Vulcan 2.5, or the old VS, with Vulcan 1.0, Justin and regular promotions? If so, what parts do you miss the most? Imnotaguestimagirl: The new VS. Justin still shows up every once in a while, and we have a corruption-free ranking system instead of a certain Advisor who will not be named just promoting everyone and their alt to Captain. mrrbatty: Lol mrrbatty: Who would be your Favorite HR? Imnotaguestimagirl: Either Opperblox or Piede. But they're all pretty cool... except one or two, who will again not be named... 12:46 mrrbatty: What do you think of the VS Newsletter being brought back? Imnotaguestimagirl: I think its a great idea! mrrbatty: In your opinion, do you think there is anyone who really deserves a HR? Imnotaguestimagirl: Yeah, the HRs we have now definitely all deserved it, and I'm sure theres many others out there who deserve it as well who just haven't been in the spotlight in VS yet. My message to them, however, is to keep their heads up and continue doing outstanding work and they'll be recognized in no time :) mrrbatty: How was it building the amazing Vulcan 3.0? Imnotaguestimagirl: Stressful, you have no idea how many people I had collaborating on one script, just to find out I used the wrong logo or something and forgot to check. It was great having awesome builders like Chibi (built raider base) and 1995jam2 (built two things, forget what they are at the moment), and also Aric. In addition, we had a bunch of good scripters working on it, like 0supadude0, Fredfishy, and Superburke1 as well as myself (I guess I'm decent, wouldn't consider myself amazing). I worked on it for at least 5 hours straight. mrrbatty: That’s All. Thanks for the interview.
That is all for this week's Newsletter, thanks for reading! Special thanks to Lilly and Mrrbatty! Do you want to help out in the Newsletter, or just support it?

When he cut the rope in half, the rope was shorter, when he put it back together, it was longer than the half.
ANSWER MUST BE CORRECT! |

Vulcan 3.0 was extremely stressing for everybody. I was talking to Lilly while she was doing it, and she kept getting angry and asking for scripts. |
