Vortex Security

Vortex Security is a superclan with over 90,000 members, making it the 2nd largest superclan behind First Encounter Assault Recon. It is a Modern Military Corporation, using the newest technology available. Founded on December 13, 2010, the group experienced rapid growth throughout 2011, racking up over 80,000 members. This made Roblox history, as no other group had ever grown this quickly. Vortex Security is currently owned by Mr Qweeba, formerly known as Chibitobi, Vortex Security's 2nd and 4th owner. The group is known for its advanced bases and technology, as well as its good team work skills. The group is also known for its overwhelming numbers. They are often criticised for team-killing themselves and their allies at their bases. The group recently won the award for the Most Active Group on Roblox at the Roblox Game Conference 2012. The group is currently at war with former ally F.E.A.R., in response to R.A.T.'s declaration of war on F.E.A.R.

History and Reform
Vortex Security was founded on December 15, 2010. Despite all of the fame that came with founding and owning the group, Justgoaway1 was popular before starting Vortex Security. He had created many popular games, including "Roblox- Paintball Unlimited" and "Desert Canyon Warfare." He created the clan of Vortex Security with help from trick555, the UCR President at the time. Together they advertised the Recruitment Center in UCR, through Roblox Ads, and eventually it made the Front Page of Games. It stayed on the front page for days, and eventually gained 10,000 members. This made Vortex Security the first superclan to make it to the top 10 in numbers within a month after its creation. It continued to rise, sometimes gaining hundreds of members in a day, until it eventually came to the current member count at just above 90,500, the second largest clan or group on Roblox.

Vortex Security had grown quite fast throughout 2011. By December 21, 2011, Vortex Security had become the third largest clan on Roblox. By Febuary 2012, the group had surpassed R.A.T. in amount of members to become the second largest clan or group on Roblox. By this time in January 2012, Justgoaway1 stated that Vortex Security would be going through a "manly reform", in which almost everybody would be demoted to Private. However, those ranking Captain+ were spared the demotion. Members would then have to re-earn their ranks with a new system based off of points (AP and CP). Also, the official VS battalions (VS:A, VS:SP, VS: HR, and VS:ST) were dismantled. Later that month, justgoaway1 gave Vortex Security to Chibitobi, and posted on a forum that he was leaving Roblox, and implied that it was a childish game. Chibitobi took over the group, and made no major changes to Vortex Security other than some minor changes to Vulcan and replacing some High Ranks. Chibitobi met much criticism regarding his ability to lead the clan. Due to exams and other things in his life, Chibitobi gave the group to the third leader of Vortex Security, AricLatios. AricLatios attempted to reform the group into more of a military/war group then it was before. He brought back some old divisions, old bases, and had a new logo and uniform made for the group. He then gave Vortex Security back to Mr Qweeba (formerly known as Chibitobi) in July 2012 after quitting for personal reasons. The current Second in Command of the group is Imnotaguestimagirl. In July 14, 2012, ROBLOX gave an award for Most Active Group to Vortex Security at the Roblox Game Conference 2012.

After Mr Qweeba got the group, in July 2012, several of the high ranks quit the group and called Vortex Security corrupt. This followed a massive admin attack in which over 300 random people were promoted to the rank Lieutenant Colonel. Some of the most notorious high ranks that quit were Imnotaguestimagirl, who was the second in command of Vortex Security. Most of the members that quit the group did not like Mr Qweeba. They thought of him as a power abusing corrupt high rank. Many of these members that quit thought Imnotaguestimagirl should have gotten Vortex Security instead of Mr Qweeba. Imnotaguestimagirl has stated herself that she will not re-join Vortex Security unless she becomes the leader of the group. These members then went to a group known as Vanguard Corporation. Vanguard Corporation is headed by Imnotaguestimagirl, and currently has over 500 members. It is unknown at this point whether or not Vanguard Corporation will go to war with Vortex Security. Mr Qweeba and the other Commanders of Vortex Security are currently in the process of selecting new high ranks to replace those that were loss after the minor rebellion. This rebellion has exposed all of the internal problems going on inside of VS. Many members of the C&G community believe that if these problems are not fixed soon, Vortex Security may fall. The revolt since calmed down, with most or all of the high ranks returning to the group, including Imnotaguestimagirl.

The group is now focusing on reforming the group to be molded after the Vortex Security of 2010. The AP/CP system most likely no longer be used, and other reforms are going to be made later. Promotions can now be earned through training, defending a base, and raiding an enemy base. Also, a new version of an old base, Vortex Security: Headquarters, was released on August 31, 2012, with a new map based off of the old one. Also, two new divisions, Vortex Security: Military Police, and Vortex Security: Civil Affairs wil replace some old divisions. Vortex Security: Engineers will be reformed as well, and other reforms will be made in the near and far future.

Justgoaway1 (December 2010- January 2012)
The founder of Vortex Security, he led Vortex Security from December 2010-January 2012. His Second in Command was Chibitobi. He created the group for the purpose of everyone having fun. He is considered by many to be the most famous leader, and the clan grew the most under his reign, gaining 80,000 members. He created all of the versions of Fort Vulcan except for 3.1. He also built Fort Valor, and the Recruitment Center. He created all of the Official Battlions (VS Airbourne, VS Secret Police, VS High Ranks, and VS Stormtroopers). Several wars were fought during his reign. John's Cobras, UCR, Sleet Clan, and Reign of Chaos were all defeated when Justgoaway1 was in charge. He was a well respected leader and a role model to his troops. In January 2012, he reformed the group where promotions were based off of a point system, and discontinued all of the Battalions. He then quit the group and gave Vortex Security to Chibitobi.

Chibitobi (January 2012- March 2012)
Chibitobi was the second leader of Vortex Security. He ruled from January 2012-May 2012. No wars were fought or changes made during his reign. The only thing he did was carry out the reform that Justgoaway1 had started. Some revamped forts were also introduced during Chibitobi's era, such as Fort Vulcan 2.5, Fort Valor 2.0, and using Fort Vulcan 1.5. Vortex Security Headquarters was also used during this era. In March, due to exams and criticism he often received, he handed ownership over to AricLatios. He was then banned, along with Justgoaway1, for selling Robux and high ranks for real life currency. He now uses the account Mr Qweeba.

AricLatios (March 2012-July 2012)
The third leader of Vortex Security, AricLatios has ruled since March. He has reformed the group, making it more of a modern military-style clan. He also changed the logo, and made new divisions as well as bringing back some old ones. New uniforms have also been made for the group during his reign as part of the reform. He has also re-vamped some of the old bases, such as Fort Vulcan 1.5, Fort Vulcan 2.5, and Fort Valor 2.0, which are newer versions of Fort Vulcan 1.0, Fort Vulcan 2.0, and Fort Valor. Some new bases have been introduced in AricLatios's era as well, such as Vantage Point. In addition, AricLatios has tried to improve Vortex Security's reputation by changing trainings to help make members improve their combat ability. Unlike JGA1 and Chibitobi, AricLatios is a stricter leader, but this is benefited the clan by making it more organized.

Mr Qweeba (July 2012- Present)
Formerly known as Chibitobi, he was given the group after AricLatios quit for personal reasons. This decision was met with a negative response, as many members do not like Mr Qweeba. A majority of the Vortex Security members thought that Imnotaguestimagirl, the second in command of Vortex Security, should have received Vortex Security instead. Recently, Mr Qweeba has been trying to reform the group, by making it more like the group was in 2010/2011. This is most likely to get veteran members to re-join Vortex Security, as well as attract new members. These reforms include a new fort, new divisions, and new rules.

Promotion System
Members of the group used to be promoted based off a system of points. Originally introduced at the end of Justgoaway1's era, the system has been used until September 2012.

This is the new system from the roblox fourm:

1. Trainings

You are allowed to do swordfight free-for-alls again.

Free-for-alls must utilize some form of ratio for promotions. The recommended is a 2:1 kill-death ratio.

​ You have pretty much complete control over your own trainings. You only have to follow these guidelines: New Training Guidelines 2. Promotion system

We are no longer using the AP/CP system. (Good riddance!)

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;">Promotions are given based off of the same system from December 2010-- whatever the trainer says the definition of "earning it" is.

<p style="font-size:13px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;">Promotions will also be given for defending forts actively (as long as a highrank notices.

Divisions
These are the official divisions of Vortex Security, all owned by Mr Qweeba. These divisions are all allied with the main division. Also, two new divisions, The Vortex Security: Military Police and Vortex Security: Civil Affairs have been created as part of the most recent Vortex Security Reform. Some notable former divisions within Vortex Security include Vortex Security: Airbourne, Vortex Security: Military Police, Vortex Security: Marine Corps, and Vortex Security: Stormtroopers.



Vortex Security: Rangers (VS)
Vortex Security: Rangers is a division for the prestigious and skilled fighters within Vortex Security. To get it, you must be a Corporal+ in the main divison, have over 7,500 KOs, and you must be tested by a Fireteam leader. They have access to sector 2.5 at Fort Vulcan 1.5. They have access to Sector 2 at Fort Vulcan 2.5, and the airfield at The VS: Headquarters II. Also, they have the ability to boss around lower ranks if a member of Honors Division or a High Rank is not present. They are currently going through a reform. They are in charge if a Honors Division member, Military Police member, or High Rank is not present.

Vortex Security: Military Police
Vortex Security: Military Police is the newest Vortex Security division. The purpose of the Military Police is to expand on the task of the members of the main division, and assist them as well. They are expected to know how to fly Helicopters and other vehicles, assist the main division during heavy raids, and solve dispuits between Vortex Security members. To join the group, one must be a Sergeant or higher in the main division, have over 3,000 KOs, and be willing to be active within this division, as well as the main division of Vortex Security as well. They are in charge if a Honors Division Member and/or a Vortex Security High Rank is not present. They have access to the Airfield at the Vortex Security Headquarters 2.0, as well as Fort Vulcan 2.5.



Vortex Security: Honors Division
The Honors Division is a branch in Vortex Security made for the best fighters and most loyal members. A member can get accepted by invitation only. Memebers of this division are highly admired within the main division, mainly because members had to work extremely hard to be let into this group. Honors Division members are expected to serve as role models to members that are in the main division. They get access to Sector 2 at Fort Vulcan 2.5, and access to Sectors 2 and 2.5 at Fort Vulcan 1.5. Honors Division members are allowed access to the airfield at the Vortex Security: Headquarters as well. They are in charge if a High Rank is not present.

Vortex Security: High Ranks
Vortex Security: High Ranks is a group for the high ranking members of Vortex Security, those that are Captain+. This group is made so that the high ranks can chat privatly about top secret information, and make important decisions regaurding the group. They can command low ranks, and are the most prestigious division of Vortex Security. Members of the high ranks division are highly respected. They get access to Sectors 2 and 3 at Fort Vulcan 2.5, and Sectors 2, 2.5, and 3 at Fort Vulcan 1.5. They also get access to special and more powerful weapons at these forts as well. They are in charge unless a Commander or the Arch General is present.

Vortex Security: Engineers
The Vortex Security Engineers department deals with all of the technology within the group. One of the most recent divisions, you must apply to get in. They are the best builders, scripters, and photo editors within Vortex Security. Most upcoming forts will most likley be built by the members of this division. A lot of the Vortex Security-related advertisments run on the Roblox site are also made by the Engineers division as well. There is a helicopter at Fort Vulcan 2.5 specifically made for Vortex Security: Engineers that gives them access to Sector 2 at Fort Vulcan 2.5. This division is not put its members in the chain of command, unlike the Rangers, Military Police, Honors Division and High Rank Divisions. Vortex Security: Engineers is currently under reform.

Vortex Security: Civil Affairs
Vortex Security: Civil Affairs Departments is also one of the newer divisions, founded and headed by a Commander in the main division, Adpunk4445. This division includes the Allied Relations Department, the War Department, and the Member Satisfaction Department. The goal of this division is to give members of the three listed departments above a chance to work together, as well as give newer or lower ranking members a chance to work in these departments. The requirments for entrance into this division are very simple, the only requirment is that members be in the main division or in a group allied with the main division. Like the Engineers division, the Civil Affairs division is not in the chain of command.

Forts
These are the official forts of Vortex Security, all built by Justgoaway1, with the exception of Vantage Point. It is a tradition that all official forts of the group all start with the letter V.

Fort Vulcan
Fort Vulcan is arguably one of the most well known forts on ROBLOX. This fort is Vortex Security's main and trademark fort throughout its history. The fort has been re-released several times as different versions (1.0/1.5, 2.0/ 2.5, and 3.0/ 3.1). One of the trademarks of Fort Vulcan is the tri-sector design. Allies and VS members spawn in Sector 1. Sector 2 is accessible only by certain divisions, with the exception of version 3.0/3.1, which is accessible by anybody. This sector is usually the biggest. Sector 2 usually contains vehicles and numerous buildings. Sector 3 is at the back, and raiders must reach this point and hold it for a certain amount of time in order to win a raid. Fort Vulcan is hard to infiltrate, with raiders needing to break a code that opens the door to a certain sector to get to Sector 3. Most versions were built by VS founder Justgoaway1, but other members contributed to these forts as well. Fort Vulcan 1.0 was introduced when Vortex Security was first founded. Fort Vulcan 2.0 was released in June 2011. Fort Vulcan 3.0 was introduced in January 2012. Fort Vulcan 1.5 and 2.5 were both released during Chibitobi's era. All players earn credits in the game in order to buy better weapons, both these weapons and credits are saved after leaving each game. Although version 1.0/1.5 were the most liked by members of Vortex Security, 2.0 was the most visited, achieving over 1.4 million visits. The current versions of this fort used by Vortex Security are versions 1.5, 2.5, and 3.1. 1.5 is on Opperblox's profile and has over 20,000 visits, 3.1 is on Imnotaguestimagirl's profile and has over 18,000 visits, and 2.5 is on Micol2242's profile and has over 86,000 visits.

Fort Valor
Fort Valor is Vortex Security's second oldest fort, built after the release of Fort Vulcan 2.0. The version by Justgoaway1 has over 116,214 place visits, and is now inactive. It is situated above a lake, with a raider base located on the opposite side of the lake, downhill. The Vortex Security fort is situated above a waterfall. The raiders' base is situated within a section of cliffs. This is Vortex Security's most even fort, with Vortex Security members having to walk or swim to get to the raiders' base. This is version 1.0, which is now outdated.



During Chibitobi's era, the fort was remade with Vortex Security's new modern technology. After these updates, it was released and called Fort Valor 2.0. Built by Tippee and Imnotaguestimagirl, Valor 2.0 was given the trademark tri-sector design similar to that of Fort Vulcan. Vortex Security and allies spawned in Sector 1. Sector 1 contains a gate control room, along with an armory, and some rooms leading to Sector 2. Sector 2 is accessible by anyone in Vortex Security: Marine Corps., or any higher division. Sector 2 is empty except for a helicopter. Sector 3 is for Vortex Security: High Ranks only. Like in Fort Vulcan 2.0/2.5, Sector 3 is just a large bunker. In order to win a raid, raiders must capture Sector 3. Raiders spawned at the bottom of a hill, and they had to walk up towards the gates. Fort Valor 2.0 is currently in use within Vortex Security today. It has over 4,000 visits, and is located on Imnotaguestimagirl's profile.

Headquarters
This is the least secure fort of Vortex Security. It contains an airfield (accessible by members of Vortex Security: Airbourne), a jailhouse, a Barracks, and a Recruiting building. The whole of the main fort is a octagonal island, attaching to the Airfield.

The airfield contains two non-respawning helicopters, and hangar in which planes were planned on being implemented, and a Control Tower which only justgoaway1 can enter. The helicopters have met much criticism because when they are damaged or flown into the water, they will not respawn, resulting in one-time-use helicopters. This version of the fort was on Justgoaway1's profile, and had over 300,000 visits. JGA1's version is currently outdated.

During the beginning of the AricLatios era, the HRs of Vortex Security decided to re-release the VS Headquarters, naming it Headquarters II. They did this due to its increasing popularity. The only updates were to the group logos and technology, and changing the airfield door so now members of the Rangers division can access the airfield, and no longer Airbourne. The version today is on Colt324's profile and has over 23,000 visits. This version is considered outdated as well.

Now, Vortex Security: Headquarters II is being upgraded to Vortex Security: Headquarters 2.0. The new base was built by Tippee, who is Vortex Security's official builder. It was scripted by GirlSniper, who is Vortex Security's official scripter. The new version of the base contains a brand new updated map, new logos and GUIs, as well as possibly containing new technology and new weaponry. However, it will still contain the features of the original, such as an airfield, a jail, and a bridge between the raider and Vortex Security base. The fort was released on August 31,2012, and is located on GirlSniper's profile. It has over 3,000 visits and is currently the secondary base of Vortex Security, with Fort Vulcan 2.5 being the main. The release of the new version drew a positive response from the Vortex Security community as well as the Robloxian community as a whole.

Recruiting Center and Harbor [Outdated]
This is Vortex Security's oldest and worst-built fort. However, it was a very popular game, hitting the front page several times, and gaining over 1 million place visits. It includes the Vortex Security Fort (shown at right), a Neutral village, and a Raiders base. The Vortex Security is a modern military fenced compound, complete with two buildings, and three docks, a small, medium, and large one. The first building contains several rooms, each with a weapon crate. The other contains a training facility, with a lobby room. Vehicles are included in this fort, which are buyable with in-game credits, and are then shipped in by a large ship. These vehicles contain cars, helicopters, and tanks. All 3 outposts are situated one the shore of a large lake. The game is still fairly popular with Vortex Security veterans, and still played, even though it is outdated. The base is un-copylocked.

Vantage Point
Vantage Point is Vortex Security's newest fort. Codenamed "Black Chicago" when it was under construction, it was built by Unclear and is currently on Colt324's profile. The fort is located in a large city. The city was over-run by raiders, so Vortex Security built a small base and airfield. The place has several capture points throughout the map. Vortex Security and allies spawn in a walled compound, wheras raiders spawn in a modern skyscraper. The game includes a harbor, an airfield, a freeway, and a helicopter landing pad located on the top of the tallest building. All these locations include the checkpoints, as well as the Center of the city and an island. Raiders and Vortex Security must capture the points throughout the map. Whoever captures all of the points wins either a defensive or offensive raid. Like all other Vortex Security bases, Vantage Point gives credits that can be used to buy weapons and vehicles in game.
