1) The Basics

About Our Ventrilo:

How To Ventrilo - Public Vent is a FREE public Ventrilo. We sponsor guilds/clans/groups with their own channels and admin. Think of our Ventrilo as an ocean with a lot of little islands inside. You would be an island, and moderate it however you like. We are a place to call: "home" in these darkened times of shitty, unreliable, and under-moderated servers. We are none of these. In fact, our Ventrilo is hosted on a 10gbps network backbone, which means lower pings for you, and higher resiliency from network attacks. We also boast the best staff in any vent you have or will come across, and have measures in place to prevent any type of ass-hats who like to VEX/Spam or troll. In fact, we are so confident that you can't fuck with us or our users; we dare you to come and try. Not only are we the shit at providing the best experience you've ever had in a Ventrilo, we know it.

Our Rules:

Pretty simple stuff. We don't like to have over 9,000 rules for you to follow like most other Ventrilo servers.

• Trolling/Spamming = Your immediate removal from the server, and subsequent subnet ban.
• English speaking only in Public Channels.

2) Everything Explained

You as a guest:

So you've decided to join our Ventrilo eh? Well, welcome!

Guests make up at least half of our overall population. That being that case, it's safe to say even just using our Ventrilo as a guest is much more beneficial to you as a user than most of the other low end public Ventrilo's out there.

a) Here are some of the things you might like:

• Our entire Public Block is open to anyone to use by themselves, or with friends.
• If you require a little more privacy, then we have a few private channels available for free! Just ask us, and we will issue a temporary password for you.
• Our 24/7 Help Desk is always open to anyone who needs any assistance. Hop in, and someone will help you out shortly.
• We have dedicated Radio Stations hosted by our DJ's for your entertainment, just jump in and listen.

Channel Sponsorships & What You Get For Free:

Sponsored Channels are a majority of our population in this Ventrilo. There are also some key benefits over guest users, so refer to the Permissions List to view the difference.

Sponsored Channels are completely free to you, however due to the demand and amount of channels that end up going inactive; it's far too much work for us to maintain all the leaving/joining new people. So, we've implemented a few prerequisites:

a) Here's the scenario - you walk in our vent and would like a free sponsored channel, this is exactly what we will say:

• Pick a public channel, and start using it.
• After keeping that public channel populated for the next couple of days, and we see your serious about needing your own sponsored channel, we will instate you with one, provided you answer yes to all the questions below.

b) If you answer yes to everything below, you qualify for channel sponsorship:

• Do you have at least 5 people to populate your channel (including yourself)?
• Can you keep your channel active?

We aren't saying no-life it, we understand people actually do have lives on the internet. Just Show us your serious and will use your channel.

c) Everyone who obtains a free sponsored channel gets these benefits:

• 1 Primary channel, with up to 2 sub channels.
• 1 Primary Channel Owner, with 1 extra Channel Admin, for a total of 2 Channel Admins.

The difference between a Channel Owner and a Channel Admin is simple. Owners make the decisions regarding whether or not a channel can be renamed, or Channel Admins can be added or removed. Channel Admins cannot.

Refer to the Rank List to see what the visual difference is between the two.

VIP Subscriptions & What You Get For $5 A Month:

VIP Subscriptions are pretty easy to understand. For $5 dollars a month you get a lot more flexibility with your channels, added permission benefits, as well as being placed in our VIP Block which is above the sponsored block, and closer to the top of our Ventrilo.

a) The specifics of what you get:

• 1 Primary channel, with up to 4 sub channels.
• 1 Primary VIP Channel Owner, with an extra VIP Channel Admin for a friend, and 2 additional regular Channel Admin, for a total of 2 VIP Channel Admins, and 2 regular Channel Admin's. (That's 2 more than a Sponsored User.)
• Ability to record conversations, and listen to them whenever you like.
• A Reserved Slot so you can always be guaranteed to be able to get in over normal guests.
• A VIP tag in Ventrilo, which will change to Donator in the event you cancel your subscription.
• Ability to use phantoms for easy listening of our Radio Stations or your other channels without having to be in the channel.
• A higher IP limit than guests & sponsored users, so you can have multiple instances of yourself, or other people from your network connect.

Refer to the Permissions List for a complete comparison.

3) Music Competitions

Brief Info:

They will be announced whenever we decide to host them. Come in at the allotted time, and wait in our Music Competition lobby until we begin.

a) Rules for entry are:

• Have enough time to complete the competition! Most last between 1-3 hours, so if you have to leave, you lose your points!
• Be mature, and do not spam chat, or you will be disqualified and banned.

b) How It Works:

We all pile in a channel like a van full of Mexicans and then everyone gets muted lol. No seriously, you do. Everyone gets into chat, and then the DJ then plays music from any decade/genre they choose. The goal is simple:

• Type the artist name (and contributing artists if any) and the title correctly, and on one line in chat before anyone else. If you get it right first, you get a point.
• The first to acquire however many points we decide wins.
• If you need your score, type: "score", and it will be either said or typed. Do not expect everyone's score to be said at the same time, as this will delay the competition. If you don't even have a point, don't ask idiot.
• Prizes are disclosed beforehand, and can be negotiated for something else of equal value after the competition.
