Hello VS, and welcome to the VS newsletter: Veterans day special! This week, the newsletter will include THREE, yes, THREE interviews, from Powersound, Dillsion1, and Tmlkid1996. All VS veterans. Anyways, onto the news of this week...:
-Training logs reinstalled-
Earlier this week, General Opperblox24 brought back the training logs; an idea which started a couple of months ago, to monitor the training activity of Colonels. Colonels are required to host AT LEAST 1 training a week, and then record it on the training log. No Colonel is an exception to this. This is to maintain the activity of VS, and make sure LR's are getting enough trainings!
-NEW UNIFORMS!-
Last night (GMT), new uniforms were released for VS. These were created by the Uniform maker Blobmista4, and they can be found in a VS thread, and in Ariclatios' shirts, and pants. They come in different types, as listed below: Arctic Arctic Hex Desert Desert hex Forest Forest hex Urban Urban hex The prices for the shirt is 10Tix, or 2RS, and the same for pants.
-Public AP system-
Earlier today, I introduced the public AP system. Every 2 days, the people who have registered for the public AP system will have their names, and AP/CP put on a thread, for everyone to see. This is to stop people bugging HR's to know what their AP/CP is. If you want to register for the PAPS, PM me with the title "AP SYSTEM".
-New Colonel-
McBud has entered the ranks of Colonel, but we have little information on who he actually is, so this is just a note that their is a new Colonel.
-VSThreads-
Opperblox24 has made an account, of which will be used to store recent VS thread in its blurb. If you are in need of a thread, have a look at the account "VSThreads", the first Sergeant, and check his blurb to see if the thread you need is there!
-Shattering empires, Part 2!-
Yesterday I released part 2 to Shattering empires; if you would like to read it, here is the link: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=70037581 Part 1 is at the end of the thread.
-Adpunk's absence-
General Adpunk will be absent over the weekend, as he is on a trip.
-VETERAN INTERVIEWS-
First up is Powersounds interview! [Powersound=La me, Sebi c:, I am VS Veteran]: VS veteran: So, Powersound, when did you join VS? La me, Sebie. c:: My brother joined on 21 December. La me, Sebie. c:: If I remember correctly. VS veteran: When did your brother attain a HR? La me, Sebie. c:: Again, If I'm correct he got captain from 022609 on 12 March. VS veteran: How long do you spend each day, doing things for VS? La me, Sebie. c:: These times around 4-5 hours, but when my exams are over around 6-8 hours a day. La me, Sebie. c:: That's fair to say VS veteran: So, a good amount of time. Rather active. La me, Sebie. c:: Yep VS veteran: 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? La me, Sebie. c:: I do like the new VS, and I didn't knew I'd agree with it, but we all know Justin wasn't very active. La me, Sebie. c:: Also I like the forts La me, Sebie. c:: All the old forts and the new ones so people could see how it was in the old days. La me, Sebie. c:: And the AP/CP system is probably the best promotion system on Roblox. VS veteran: Indeed. La me, Sebie. c:: So Aric, Do your stuff like you're doing now. VS veteran: Do you prefer the new forts, or the older, classic ones? La me, Sebie. c:: I do prefer the classic. La me, Sebie. c:: The new ones are Very big, but that creates lag sometimes. La me, Sebie. c:: and the old ones are good memories. VS veteran: Do you have any particular favourite HRs? La me, Sebie. c:: Of course I do. La me, Sebie. c:: My favies are Opper, Adpunk, Mrrbatty, Lilly and ofcourse my interviewer. VS veteran: Wewt :3 La me, Sebie. c:: I hate the no faces rule sometimes though xD VS veteran: Indeed. La me, Sebie. c:: It seems you're always strict La me, Sebie. c:: and I'm actually a more funny and kewl girl. La me, Sebie. c:: Not the strict type. c: VS veteran: Anyways, back on track :l VS veteran: To wrap it up; what would you like to see to be done to improve VS? La me, Sebie. c:: The inactive HR's now replaced with active ones, for every fort the same weapons and less strict if possible. La me, Sebie. c:: c: VS veteran: Thank you for your time, Power. ----END----
Next up is Tmlkid1996!
VS veteran: So, how long have you been in VS? VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: I have been in VS for about a year now. VS veteran: What made you join VS back then? VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: Well, it started when I saw Vulcan 1.0 on the front page; I played the game not knowing a thing about groups or clans. I wanted to be on the VS side, so then someone helped me out to join the group, and I loved the idea of groups and clans. VS veteran: Ah, good ol' Vulcan. VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: Indeed. VS veteran: So, when did you first achieve a HR? Of course, back when you joined, Captain was classed as a HR. VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: Oh, not too long ago actually, around last month, or so. VS veteran: So after the reform. VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: Yes. VS veteran: 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? VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: I actually really prefer the new system. It is much more organized and promotions aren't given away too much. It allows members to achieve more experience in VS, and then know more for when they become a HR. Vulcan 2.5 is pretty good, it's not my favourite base, good tech, but not my style. VS veteran: So, do you have any favourite HR's? VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: I don't normally choose favourites. I like most of the HR's. Imnotaguestimagirl is really helpful and nice, so is Tippee, Opper, Adpunk, and Sonae. I like all the colonels. I talk to most of the HR's everyday, they deserve their rank and should keep doing what their doing to improve VS. VS veteran: What would be your favourite fort, or maybe the HQ? VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: Personally, I really like Vulcan 1.5 and the HQ. The HQ is overall the best one. It's retro and old, with all the new advanced and tech. Vulcan 1.5 on the other hand, is really unique, it's old and definitely a classic, I love them both. VS veteran: And, to finish off; what do you think should be done to VS to improve it? VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: There isn't much. I would say there needs to be some more Private+ trainings, to stop exploits. Also there could some more fun events, such as contests, or parties. VS veteran: Thank you for your time, Tml. VS Veteran|Cpt~Tml~Jordan: No problem.
And, last, but not least...IS LIEUTENANT DILLSION!
VS veteran: So, Dillsion, how long have you been in VS? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Almost two years. VS veteran: Did you join in late December '10, then? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Yes. [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Actually, I can't recall. VS veteran: So, you're a good ol' veteran. [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Yeah, I'd like to think I am. VS veteran: When did you first attain a HR in VS, and were you in any noticeable divisions, such as VSSP, VS:A etc? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: I first HR about 2 Months before the Reform, I was in all the Divisions Including High Ranks and StormTroopers. [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: I was First* VS veteran: In the sub-ranks, like Major, lieutenant Colonel etc, did you attain any of those? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: In High Ranks, I was a Lieutenant Colonel, I'd like to think I was highly respected as well. VS veteran: Ah yes, I recall. VS veteran: 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? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: I'm Kinda Half and Half. I do Love the new VS, But The old was more 'Prideful', Getting in Sub-Divisions meant something, Unlike Marine Corp, Almost everyone is in that. Also, I do think the Amount of AP is a little High. Someone who only gets on during the Weekends would have a hard time just to earn a Rank. VS veteran: A mix of both, then. [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Yes. VS veteran: Do you have any favourite HR's? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Hmm, That's a Tough one. Honestly, I'd have to say VERT752, I have been friends with him since I joined, and he is a Good Role Model, and an Awesome Friend. VS veteran: Out of all of the forts, and the HQ, which is your favourite? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: I'd have to say Vulcan 2.5; After all I was the one who started a Petition for it back. Vulcan 2.0 was just classic and is what made me active; I think it would make everyone Active too, So I thought why not? You know. It is my Favourite and The Funnest of Forts. VS veteran: And, to wrap everything up, what would you like to see be done to improve VS? [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Two things, 1: More Trainings, People are becoming Less active because of it. And 2: More Wars, It would bring More Members to VS, and Make us more active, thus: Making it a more Fun and Enjoyable time in Vortex Security! VS veteran: Thank you for your time, Dillsion. [VS Lieutenant] Dillsion1: Thank you Explicit for this opportunity.
