Don't worry, I'm all with you there ;)

The following probably help most if you're not in a position for a regular Beers-2-Gether:

1. Making thoughtful, germane, cogent, and non-redundant contributions to forum discussions.

2. Collecting press information about the game and posting it to the forum at the time of publication.

3. Playing the games. A lot.

4. Helping to keep forum discussion civil.

In my case I scienced the crap and won against all odds far too many times. Then introduced a very valuable contributor to the VIP.

Hello,

I've noticed every GDD has a section called "VIP feedback." Who are these illustrious individuals, and how do you become one?

The secreat of becomeing vip is typing corectly. And apear out of nowhere and strike from the shadows.

I felt something is off when I was reading secreat becomeing apear corectly....corectly...corectly...corectly

Well I guess maybe strike from the shadows? OR the pool of fates seems to be promising.

Yes. Jeff replaced them with dark energy cannons, instead. Dark energy at least is so much not understood that there's room for imagination.

Dark matter on the contrary would be pretty boring in the sense that you couldn't accelerate it and firing a "ball" of it through anything, which you could only achieve by a gravitational traktor in the first place, would just make it go through the target like a ghost.

Physicists are setting limits on the likelihood of dark matter to interact with ordinary matter based on the assumption that we're continuously floating through the stuff on our way through the galaxy! And let me tell you, those limits are extremely low already.

Well, you don't need a Deus Ex Machina to summon one, for sure.

You can find the different VIP groups (they are slightly different depending on the game) in the forum showgroup feature: http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/showgroups.php at the bottom of all the group lists.

In recorded history of this community, becoming a VIP was based on one of two things: Knowing the developers in person and being considered a valuable source of feedback by them or by showing to be a very useful and resourceful community member with the potential of being a valuable source of feedback.

So far, forum-active people who became moderators have made it in the second group, as well as Let's Players like Panczasu or very zealous critics like Nasarog or specialists in fields like elementary particle physics ridding the ES techtree of its original dark matter cannon...

There's no guarantee of who will be chosen VIP when, how or whenever, I'd say. But I agree with Darizuka on the life choice part of his tinfoil-ridden comments.

Rumor has it you have to slay one of the nefarious and ancient being; Known as the Endless.

atleast one of them

and your name and destiny shall be revealed upon the All-seeing Eye Pool of Fates.

then and only then

will an Envoy of the Beginning and Envoy of the End appear before you on a fated Red Moon.

and you are to pledge your life and soul to dedicate oneself.

to which you shall be forever bound for all eternity in life and death after...

Yet your name shall be forever marked in the annals of the history and future, inscribed upon the pillars within the Infinitus Librarium.

So art thou sure to take such path?

Edit: Choose carefully because to become a VIP, its a legit life choice that will alter the very foundation of the infinite universe.

And this is real.

and not make believe HoobaJaboo.. Like having you in tin foil hats and reciting the Toran-Ra. After a 2 hour session of screaming out "Kal-if-fee"
