 Haven't you ever felt that longing for adventure? That tingling sensation in your mind as you contemplate all the thousands upon thousands of possibilities? Ever felt that urge, when you look out across the sea, to jump on an overly large piece of driftwood and wave sharp pointy things in other peoples faces?
Of course you have!

Imagine, folks. In this life we'll never be able to be vermin pirates. In this life that's just not a possibility. The days of corsairs and privateers are over...
But you can live it on VI. At least, through your character's eyes.

Don't you whine on about "I'm too old to play imaginary."
Since when? Can you go a day without playing it? I could say a few other things about "Non-Imaginary" people being the downfall of the world, but I won't.

Also, I would appreciate if anyone who tells me "vi suckeths" would provide support for that statement.

Below I have included an outline of VI done by Saturn S. Songlore.

You all like redwall, yes? Well, the Vulpine Imperium is a redwall based Imperium, with vermin as characters. You can be as ruthless as you want, or be, strangely, a nice vermin.

There are many new advantages in the Imperium:

1) Contracts enable you to..
a) change your name
switch ships with more ease.
c) request a marriage to another beast in the imperium, and in your profile it will list them as your significant other.
d) write your own contract, such as a petition against another beast or corporation and let other beast sign it.
2) Corporations
a) chairbeast is elected by shares which can be bought on the public market.
corporation bonds(interest is nice)
c) separate boards for each corporation, and people with shares in that corporation.
3) the board system
a) In character board.
Out of character board.
c) Advertisement section
d) Red Herring(for officers ranking first mate and above)
e) ship's mess, separate on each of the four ships.
ship's available on the Imperium:

1) Markan's Glory
2) Black Ship
3) Skeered of nothing
4) Golden Hide

f) for a week, the ships will be in port, so the in character boards will be visible(that includes the other land things, such as advertisements and the bank) Then when everyone's out to sea, people will still see the out of character board and their ship's mess.
4) Activities
a) Casino
At port activities (ways to make money)/at sea activities (again same idea, money)
c) dueling.
d) hobbies, (write books to be sold, make bottled boats, carvings, soon to come are weaving and other things I again dont' remember)
5) Submissions
a) you can submit artwork related to the vi, or redwall in general.l
you can submit rhymed poetry
c) stories can be submitted
d) you get money for everything you submit, and then when it's graded you get more.

6) Popular locations
a) the smelt (where deaths, news and many other things like that happen.)
Prominent citizens(richest citizens of the imperium are listed)
c) public bunks (lists the ships, their location, information on them, and you can view the crewbeast on each, as well as those on land and the graveyard.
d) Ship's cabin(where the officers of the ship's are listed and where the results of raids are put..
e) information (about contracts out there, unique metalworks, corporations existing, items and many other things I dont' remember)
f) entry gallery(where you can view the submitted artwork, poetry, riddles(forgot about them) and stories.
7) Management
a) journal (write whatever you want on paper sold at stores
inventory (what you have on you.)
c) equip/wear(dueling materials, such as lucky earring)
d) infirmary (for those times when one gets sick from inactivity(don't worry you can't die)
e) Upgrade rank(on your ship, or you can join a ship from there.)
f) the court house (where those contracts are located.)
8) Business
a) New occupation (where you can also upgrade rank, make a store, decide to farm, etc.
Portfolio(to manage your stocks in companies)
c) bank(interest you get from money stashed away
d) Public market(where things are sold by other characters and not stores.
e) auction block (bid for things)
f) send gilders
9) Your account
a) change password(once you get the initial one to log on the first time..change it to something you'll remember.
change user information(where you can add that spiffy profile of your character. and change your sig, as well as put yourself in vacation mode if need be.
c) delete account, (where it all ends..sadly)
10) In your bunk:
a) your strongbox(where you can view how much you got for your submitted works.
see a bunch of other things such as recent activities, and your investments and such.

That's about all I could think of putting..Ask any questions you want..I shall try to answer them.

 *waves*  The VI is good, unless you get narked by somebody or something.

In that case you can do the smart thing -- change ships -- or the stupid thing -- kill your character.

I fear I did the stupid thing.  I've regretted it every since.

Though I did go to shore, open an apothecary, fail miserably, join the Mar'kans, and then kill myself.

Haha.  And I came back as Reval, then somebody else... I can't remember.  *sigh*  Now I don't really want to rejoin.

 Cloud! Hah!
Oh the times, eh? I remember you well.
I'd like for you to come back... but if you really don't want to I won't beg.

 ROME is teh awes0meness.  :D

*cough* VI stinks because the only one who has any power is Retto and he won't verify the contracts  or basically do anything because he's at college. We have one admin who actually does his job, and the only other one is mad with power and is doing evil stuff(s).
In God I trust, and in Him alone shall I put my faith.

Nohcnonk

 I downloaded a demo of ROME: Total War and I must say I was dissapointed...

Tea_of_Persia

 You don't really need the Admins if you do your job.

If you're talking about IronPaw being mad with power and doing evil stuffs, he's supposed to. He's the Minister of Misanthrope. He's supposed to hate you.

Besides, what's a place without its good amount of evil?

General Austin

 "you do your job"? Sheesh, that wasn't a very civil thing to say, considering you most likely know nothing about my character in VI, or the problems I have had with the game.

I have been TRYING to do my job, namely, have fun with the game, but if the contracts need an admin to verify it, and the corporations, stores, and farms are full of bugs, what is a stoat to do?

Concerning the MinoMis, I beleive that he should limit his evilness to RPs, and not be able to mess up peoples hours and days of hard work just because he feels like being mean. This has never happened to me, but I know that it is possible, and a very real threat with our current MinoMis.

By the by, I'm only saying all of this stuff because you asked us to back up our statements when we say that we dislike VI. I'm not doing this to pick a fight, only doing it to point out why I don't like it.

Nohc: The demo was pretty cool, IMO. But the best part is the strategy map, which isn't shown on the demo. If you like Risk, you will LOVE Rome: TW!

In God I trust, and in Him alone shall I put my faith.

I knoe, it was a joke, that apparently nobody got and was in bad taste. And I pwn at Risk, mebbe me should give her a whirl...

Tea_of_Persia

 It seems that I said that in the wrong sort of way.
By "you do your job" I did not mean you but rather the whole of VI. I'm not even sure of who you are on VI, I guess I got the wrong message across.

Can you tell me about the promblems you've had in the game? I'd like to help if I can.

IronPaw is in charge of the contracts by the way, if it wasn't verified perhaps it wasn't something he wanted verified.

Do you really know Ironpaw Out of Character? He's a pretty nice guy, contrary to common belief, a good friend.
I'm not sure what you think is at risk, could you explain?

Sorry, I'm not trying to pick a fight either, Internet just doesn't carry tone or feeling.
