-Albert Einstein
The world of Rubi-Ka is a living breathing world, its citizens shaping a bold new future for themselves despite the on-going conflict that always threatens to disturb the peace on the planet.

The History of Rubi-Ka
Man has come a long way to get to Rubi-Ka and the history of Rubi-Ka is filled with conflict, controversy and conspiracy.

Topic of the week[ 10 Comments ] Print News | Category: Vault This weeks topic of the week is.. discussion topics. It may seem like a cop-out upon first hearing it, but this is in regards to the new contest that was discussed a few weeks ago. This will go on one week as the community suggests things to discuss.
At the end of that week, topics will be chosen at random and then new contests based off of those. Winners will recieve permanent titles on the VN Boards and have their winning post appear on a unique section of the Vault.
Vault Network News: New Warhammer Vault Print News | Category: Vault The Vault Network is extremely thrilled to announce the launching of our latest site, Warhammer Vault. Please take a moment and drop by to see what is going on with the highly anticipated game from Mythic. While there, be sure to check out the video Q&A; series that was kicked off today.
The essential idea is that a topic is picked from a pool of topics. The topics would be inititally suggested by the community in a pre-contest. One would be chosen per 1-2 weeks. It would work much like a "Topic of the Week" contest, but have a different twist to it. Each person wishing to enter writes out a small column containing their thoughts on the subject, and either posts it or sends it in privately. At the end of the week or two weeks, a panel of judges (myself and two other people I will pick out if this pans out) deliberate and agree on a winner. The winning column would get published on AOVault under a new columns section, with accompanying news post and custome teaser graphic (such as the one above the news listings) for that week or two week period. They would also be rewarded a permanent title for display on the boards.
People are not expected to be perfect writers. It's called a column because it would be published as such. It would be a person expressing what they feel about any particular subject.
People wouldn't be judged on grammar, but on content and how well someone made their point.
with that said, please cast your vote on the right side of AO Vault's front page.
