- It's woefully outdated. Not only does it use the old ret mechanics and center around a more naive meta, but it also mentions a ton of old bugs that simply don't exist anymore. (the Trapper bug) It also doesn't mention the probably-never-gonna-be-fixed Pirate bug that has honestly become core to how VIP needs to be played now. (must...hold in...rant...)
- It never even touched on the gaslighting that is common among advanced players. At the time, I avoided this for two reasons: I didn't know how to articulate it (the term "gaslighting" wasn't as widespread then) and I figured that other guides could do it better. Hell, not many players were even doing it to the level that nighttime VIP players do...I probably wrote it before T1NO had fully developed their shtick. This time around, I've written a fairly small section but one more focused to common VIP gaslighting techniques.
So here's the updated version, rewritten from the ground up and with its own URL. The one in my sig I need to update sooner or later. :p

I hope people find it useful, and I hope to see more new faces in VIP mode.
