My personal area to create articles, mess with various styles and generally fool around. Do not delete anything here.

Potential Articles
I would like to write these articles:


 * Virtual Military

Article Sandbox
The following area are mockups of articles I am considering publishing on the main wiki.

Virtual Military
A virtual military organization (VMO) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses simulation to model the operations of the military. Virtual military organizations generally have a presence on the Internet, similar to real military organizations. There are less than 25 VMOs of significance currently active, with thousands of participants involved at any one time. Similar to Clan_(computer_gaming), the key difference is that VMOs are realism groups, focusing on following real life procedures as much as possible. A quick search on google will reveal quite a few VMO that go to varying degrees of depth to pursue there goal.

Realism vs Immersion
Each VMO chooses to either follow an immersive style, or a realism, or a combination of both. While all VMOs will incorporate a rank, some go as far as implementing a Military Logistics system, including an economics model.

While each has it's benefits and followers, a mix between the two seems to be the most popular option.

Notable VMOs
