Hello, and welcome, fellow VS and other random people reading! Today’s newsletter will cover an array of topics which have happened this week, in the clan of VS! We will also have an interview with the new General Tmlkid1996, and a new short story section. Without further hesitation, let’s continue.
[-HR FLOOD-]
Over the past day, some of you may of noticed a massive amount of new Colonels, and Generals, and Two Commanders. The Commanders being GOD2U, who has already introduced a new promotion system, plus a department system, and Hicup, who does… I don’t know. As with the Generals, we have… Tmlkid1996, Mrrbatty, Majorobc123, and 0supadude0! Congratulations to them, as well, on such a great achievement. And, finally, our new Colonels. Practically all of them have earned their ranks, being promoted from Captain-Lt.Colonel, to Colonel. The new Colonels are: JollySkyrim, Crackabottle123, Dillsion1, Adrien99, Wildfire33, Jack705, Cannneddog, and Mikedragon13 (Again)! Congrats lads. You can see what they will be doing mainly in VS, by the new department system. GOD2U Has said there may be more Generals coming,so stay tuned.
[-SCRAP THE NEXUS-]
Yesterday night (British), with the arrival of Commander GOD2U, the old Nexus promotion system was scrapped, as GOD2U introduced a new system, using Google Documents. This allows promotions to be easier, and will allow you to view your progress, while only HR’s can edit. It also saves me doing the Public AP system, and is also supposedly going to prevent corruption. It is on a beta trial, so therefore may, or may not go forwards. It is likely that it will, however, as many people are agreeing with the new system. We’ll see in 3-5 days, on whether or not this will be permanent.

[- THE VS DEPARTMENTS-]
Another thing produced by our new Commander GOD2U is the Department system. In this system, every Colonel+ is assigned to a department, in which will be their main job in VS. For example, I was assigned to organisation. The other [5] departments are: Development, trainings, regulation, divisions, and the Legal department. Some Colonels may not have been assigned a job, but that is due to them being a new Colonel. Each department has a Director, which is a General+, and some have assistants, managers etc, mostly of which are Generals+. Read more here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=73713829
[-NEW-ISH LEADER-]
Unless you’re oblivious to the current events in VS completely, you should’ve noticed our leader change. Due to “stress,” and lack of co-operation, from HR’s (apparently), Ariclatios decided to retire from his rank, and settle in as Commander. Chibitobi now owns VS again, on his account Mr Qweeba. Chibitobi has stated that this will be a “better era,” than last time.
[-THE MAJOR ADMIN ATTACK-]
In the past half an hour, VS was admin attacked, as over 150 People were randomly promoted to the rank of Lt.Colonel. This has been done by a General, supposedly, and the main suspect is Majorobc123. HR’s are still dealing with it, so don’t worry. We will be using the old Nexus, and my old Public AP system to restore people to the correct rank. Keep calm and carry on.
[-TRAINING NOTE-]
Colonels are now supposed to hold [2] Trainings a week, or be demoted, while Captains host [3] a week, or be demoted. Captains+ Must contact GOD2U with their Gmail account, so he can allow you to edit the Google documents. Sadly, GOD2U has been banned for 2 days.

[INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL TMLKID1996]
Freelancer Bass: Hello Tmlkid... VS General|Jordan~Tmlkid: Hello. Freelancer Bass: So, Tml, how long have you been in VS? VS General|Jordan~Tmlkid: I have been in VS for about 14 months now.

VS General|Jordan~Tmlkid: As with my honest opinion, I'm not in for the new system, but we need to remember this system is on a 3-5 day trial period. It may or may not be effective, nobody knows. Freelancer Bass: Have you got any opinions on your new fellow Generals? VS General|Jordan~Tmlkid: I think they were well chosen. They are both great people, and deserve the rank fully.

[-PREVIEW OF PART 4 OF SHATTERING EMPIRES-]
UAF Capital: Moscow. 19th January 1239- 6:34PM.
The Gate Guardsman tilted his half-frozen head upwards, as the sounds of hoof on ground grew louder with every passing second. Snow drifted lazily down from the Heavens, landing with a slight patter on the Guard's Plate Armour, before melting and dribbling down the armour. The Guard wasn't of much interest, his armour bland, save the crimson emblem of the Motherland, which seemed to animate on the chestplate of the Guard. His sword was standard issue: Nothing fancy. Even his personality was dull; the man's mood as grey as the dull sky looming over him. The lone Horseman was only 30 Metres away by now, the Horse's place slowing down to a light trot. The man might as well have been a Silhouette, as it was practically impossible to depict the features of the man through such foul weather. He didn't look particularly menacing, but the Horseman had obviously grabbed the attention of some fellow Comrades, as the gate was slowly being lifted, accompanied by the screeches of cogs and gears. The Guardsman's helmet restricted him to a narrow viewpoint, so he had to turn slightly to see a small Squad of Five men streaming through the gates; they were all armed with Shortbows. They lined up should to shoulder, pointing the notched arrows at the stranger. The only one not copying the others was the obvious Squad Commander, his Officer hat threatening to fall of his head due to the relentless wind. Despite only wearing a hat for headgear, the rest of his body was fitted with fine, steel-plated armour, which was covered mostly by a bloody Red cloak, which rippled in a fascinating way. The Commander was most probably wearing a Chainmail vest, as well. The Guardsman was in awe of such fine pieces of equipment, which were out of reach to a common Guardsman such as himself. The clothing wasn’t the most interesting thing, however, as the Commander was fiddling with a strange hump of metal, which looked like some sort of portable Cannon. By the beautiful and intricate designs tattooed on the surface of the Cannon, the Guard guessed it was of Vortexian, possibly WIJian make. Definitely of Eastern origins, at least. The Guard lost interest in the contraption, and he swivelled on his heels to face where the Horseman last was. He was literally 2 Metres away now, and he had dismounted his horse. He naturally assumed it was a “he.” The strange features of the man were a lot more distinct now, the Blizzard only slightly shrouding his hawk-like view. The man looked important: A Captain of sorts maybe? The shabby, torn, woolly garments that the man brandished were not exactly of noble make, but the Cloak… It was surely silk. And the hilt of his Sword, it looked like it was encrusted with amazing rare Jewels. Surely, this was no normal traveller. “Who goes there, comrade or enemy?” The Squad Commander questioned. The Guard noticed the emblem which was sewn into the cloak of the Commander: a Phoenix with three chevrons above it. The Guard acknowledged him as a Staff Sergeant. By the rough, local accent, he guessed at it being the notorious SirBackSpace; known for the battle of Mettenrich river, 20 years ago during the Vortexian war. SirBackSpace had supposedly got one of his eyes speared during the battle, but the Guard couldn’t see the Staff Sergeant’s face, due to a face cloak. He could, however, visibly see the medal of bravery firmly placed on the NCO’s Chestplate. “Supposedly, I’m a comrade,” The stranger said suspiciously, “But that is for you decide.” Staff Sergeant Backspace glanced with what the Guard bet was a confused face at his fellow soldiers, who just looked forward, not imitating his gaze. “W-who are you…comrade?” the Staff Sergeant asked questioningly, reverting to staring at the lone figure once more, who lazily leaning on his horse. His face was visible, and had a weathered look to it, with what looked like…blood on it. “What, you can’t recognize me?” The man said, with a small smirk on his face. That face; one which looked like it had been through hell, and merely wanted to spend his last living days with a grin on his face; a mixture of sadness and despair, and utter mad happiness. “Stop dodging the question, and give us y’name, or I’ll bloody shoot you in the face with this. Y’hear?” SirBackSpace snarled, tired already of standing in such dreadful weather. He had finished fiddling randomly with the contraption, and held it up in his right hand, pointing it directly at the man in the silk cloak. A soldier ran through the gate, and passed the Staff Sergeant a large Torch, which the Guard presumed was to light the fuse on the peculiar thing. Definitely a Cannon of sorts, he pondered. “Operative SourceZ, of the Scarlet Hammers, at y’service, Staff Sergeant,” The wanderer replied, in a mocking tone. It took a few seconds before the muddled brain of BackSpace digested the information, and figured out that this was strange. “Sir, if I am correct, shouldn’t you be miles to the East, in bloody Frostia?” Asked the Staff Sergeant suspiciously. SourceZ was the second in command of the Scarlet hammers brigade, and made no logical sense...
[-RIDDLE O' THE WEEK-]
What has 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 3 at dusk?
And, thank you for reading this week's newsletter! I will be camping for 2 weeks, so there will be no newsletter, so you'll have to wait for the next edition!
