The Origins of the V'er Program
A few members might remember being in the V'er Program. The V'er Program was created by WarHawk in '99 to train players who didn't make it into VeX but wanted taining. The program was used in Outwars at first, but in time expanded to other sections...
The V'er Program began August 15th 1999 with one member.
A couple months after the creation of the V'er Program, WarHawk placed Elixir as 'General Leader of the Outwars Section,' and he, WarHawk, became inactive. Without someone to maintain the V'er program, it became inactive until Elixir rejuvenated and improved the program.
The purpose of the program was revised. It was used as a median to train players who didn't meet the average VeX skill level. These players were given the V_ tag until they could beat their sponsor. This revision removed the join form for Outwars and thus became the primary recruitment tool for the Outwars section.
Elixir maintained the V'er Program until '00 when Dano took charge of it.
This program has helped VeX grow, but has recently become forgotten.
Perhaps its time for a revision and put it back in operation.

Outstanding! We've been looking for ways to exactly nail down responsibilites needed as a "prerequisite" for a certain rank. Here's one!
"To attain a rank of x (where x=somewhere north of staff sergeant/lieutenant?) you must train one V'er."
With modification, that rule should reach the final version of VeX Government.

Well, I took over after Dano when he left, I remember. Just something to add to the history...

Ya, I remember when you recruited me Dibbz. I think this idea is intreaging most likely spelled that wrong) and should be used. I'm ready to try it when you are.

Why ? Its certainly better than the usual "Send an email and you're in"-method.
start up again?
Isn't this method going to be used for all new recruits? What I mean is, is it going to be up and running again? I think it should personally. If people can't wait 2 weeks to be in VeX, then they don't deserve to be in.

Yes, the V'er Program will be in effect in all sections. The program also goes by the name "bootcamp" or "training period." All labels refer to the same thing.
The problem with the old V_er program is that it requires you to change your name tag twice. Once to V_ and again to VeX_. For many new games, that's not practical for many reasons, stats, etc.
But the bootcamp/training period/ver program will still be used. Just a little differently.
To end the confusion, we are working on a Recruiting FAQ. Would you like to help?
