Vielle is a player who was the first to complete several accomplishments. He was the first player to buy Gold Membership, be a leader of a clan, complete 800, 1,000, and 1,500 race sessions, complete every achievement in an event, and test Nitro Math during its alpha stage as a non-admin. Vielle owns the Shadow Floaty sticker, is an Olympic Gold Medalist, and has a sticker, VaderCat, based on his cat Vader. He is also among the few users to own a custom vehicle.
Vielle was banned in February 2014 and subsequently unbanned in October 2019. Since then, Vielle has been known for helping the admins and being a major establishment figure within the community from the Nitro Type news comments, the Nitro Type Forums, clans, various Shivtrs, the Nitro Type Olympics, and the Nitro Type Discord. He was also influential during the first Nitro Type season and early Nitro Math. Vielle is known for once becoming the 2nd most active player on Nitro Type, holding numerous session records, featuring on various news posts such as the 2012 and 2013 Retrospectus, and being the fastest player on the site at various times throughout 2018 and 2019. He also appears in the Friends Race Update: Casual Mode Pulls Up to the Track! news post, a mode which he had exclusive access to two months prior. He makes a successive appearance in the Back 2 School 2022: History Class is Now in Session! news post.
Vielle is also known for his connections with many top players from early Nitro Type veterans, team leaders, event and tournament organizers, admins, community helpers (e.g. Rae), bot developers, and YouTubers. Vielle has also been a moderator on TypeRacer for 5 years, having written blog posts for the site, managing texts, and participating in the 2020 Ultimate Typing Championship, where he placed 5th. It was the biggest typing competition since the original UTC tournament in 2010. Because of this, he is one of the most well-connected members throughout the entire community's history and is known for several accomplishments over his 10-year span across the typing scene, with most of it focused on Nitro Type.
On January 13, 2023, Vielle secured his very own exclusive custom car, dubbed the Nitreux Vielleux, and on February 24, 2023, he was bestowed with the "Legendary" title, which has a rarity of Legendary (originally Mythic), making it one of the trio of titles in the game that have been classified as “Legendary”. On March 22, 2023, Vielle was added as one of the many prompts adorning the Nitro Math loading screen. These successive monthly achievements, when taken together, have cemented Vielle's status as one of the most illustrious and accomplished players throughout the entirety of Nitro history. Owing to his highly regarded standing, Vielle's impact on the site has been nothing short of a critically acclaimed venture, leaving behind a trail that no other user has managed to attain or rival within Vielle's impressive 10-year odyssey.
History[]
Rise to Fame[]
Vielle joined the site in August 2012 after a friend told him to play Nitro Type as a detraction from TypingWeb (now Typing.com), where Nitro Type was advertised and featured, as his friends wanted to see how fast he was at the time. Vielle started out typing 70 WPM and quickly doubled his speed within a year of playing. During the first few months, he seldom played the game, having only had slight bouts of activity during October 2012 and picking it up in November 2012, having completed his first 100+ session achievements.
However, on one November day, Vielle inadvertently was going for a major session. What set it apart was the sudden addition of an unannounced new event to the site, called the 2012 Xmaxx Event. Not only did Vielle obtain all the achievements in a quick setting at the time, including obtaining 2 hidden achievement cars, the Party Sleigh and the Shadow XMaxx Tree, but he would also set a session record that surpassed CarriePirc's at the time, having done more than 780+ races. A day after, he formed the Nitro Type Masters and set several other session records. The first title he suggested to the game was "Keyboard Cat", a title he had abruptly came up with when Austin and Travis visited the NTM chat one day. He also suggested another title called "Nitro Type Master", a nod to his clan at the time, which became the only title in the history of the game to be named after a clan or team.
Within this short period of December alone he had managed to mount a quick ascent to fame once the friends feature was added on December 17th, and he became the most famous player due to his frequent top 3 spots on the fastest 24 hour and active leaderboards, with much of his short-term activity and accomplishments being unheard of at the time, as he had set a number of major records and achievements within December 2012. This was powerful enough that he made a surprise appearance in the 2012 Retrospectus despite debuting within the last month of that year.
On January 1, 2013, Vielle started the beginning of yet another session record when he became the first player to do 1,000 races in a single sitting, resulting in the creation of the titles "Emperor" and "Empress" on January 2, with the former being a title he still uses to this day. Vielle, alongside many other NTM members, were also given exclusive access to the Nitro Type forums and sneak peeks at upcoming cars and ideas at the time.
Around June 2013, Vielle became the first player to purchase Gold Membership, an idea he had suggested to the admins months prior, but was subsequently turned down at the time. Vielle would later on make another return in the 2013 Retrospectus, once again having held the session record and broken activity records on the News comments and Nitro Type Forums at the time, while still maintaining his role as the most famous player on the site until his ban.
Shivtr Era[]
Vielle remained inactive in the community post-2014, having only appeared on the SBD Shivtr since 2015-2016, eventually becoming a Shadow Chairman for the Nitro Type Olympics, an appointment made by EthanJ.S. in December 2016. Using his power and newfound consolidation of the community, he played a role in uniting the various outlets of the Shivtr communities into the NT Discord after joining it in November 2016 in what would be the most united platform for the community, a vision he had since with his attempts at making an atmosphere for all the teams to come together on one universal community platform with his joint-attempt to make a United Teams of Nitro Type Shivtr alongside Ethan J.S. in late 2016.
Discord Era[]
With his role on the NT Discord, his experience, and his history, he was able to capitalize on his image as a community leader at the time and rebrand himself past the stigma that the admins had put out about him at the time. Most of this misinformation from the admins was later deleted, however. Vielle became known for being an outspoken critic of the site at the time and was considered an outsider due to being blacklisted from the site. Because of this, he had broad appeal towards a lot of players that felt the admins gave up on the community and the game entirely, especially in the wake of botting, controversy, and social issues that dominated the Nitro Type News comments at the time. Vielle was notable for being open about his history on the site and consistent outreach to new and old players, especially as he moderated and administrated the community Discord, which he later took ownership of after an internal staff controversy around the previous owner.
As server owner of the Discord, he maintained the current state of the Discord and preferred a more lax style of governing that emphasized fair and open communication, as well as a loose interpretation of the rules to improve member retention and keep the staff and community interconnected in a non-controversial manner, a style of moderation he has stuck with to this day in the number of servers he has moderated and administered, employing open and quick communication.
He became a major TypeRacer player in the short span of August-September 2017, quickly making his way up to a becoming a TypeRacer moderator, where he has remained for 5 years. It was around this time he was also NT Discord moderator, having succeeded Volhosis, although Vielle preferred to give up the position and host a server election, resulting in Galaxied becoming server owner in October 2017. In October of 2017, Vielle was unbanned for a short while by TheRedBaron when he arrived to the NT Discord server, which most NT Discord staff at the time thought was an impersonator, although he joined back after seeing Vielle's DM and invite link. This unban by TheRedBaron however would be revoked a day after under the reason "Executive Order" by Corndog, a testament to the admin's long-standing ban on Vielle.
During this time, Vielle would pick up a mechanical keyboard, something he did in September 2017, and became speed rivals and friends alongside Rrraptor, where both players had improved their speeds well past their 160 WPM averages, all the way up until 2018, when both Rrraptor and Vielle would then peak at 190 WPM average, a speed he still maintains to this day. This was Vielle's 2nd major speed improvement, one that had made him the fastest racer on the site for a while, until Chakk and Joshuu overtook him after their sudden rise to becoming the world's fastest typists at the time.
During the server split of 2019, Vielle was removed from the Discord alongside asssa123 by a sole decision made by Galaxied for exposing ayeyuhskuh's activities at the time, resulting in massive controversy. The overwhelming majority of users flocked to the new NT Discord, and Vielle was once again a senior administrator in the community. Vielle would later bring up the case for ayeyuhskuh's unban later on in July 2022, seeing as how he had reformed since then. Despite the controversy at the time, all of these racers are friends today.
Account Unban and Present-Day[]
Because of the server-split event, Vielle was able to mend his relations with the NT Admins, including Austin and Travis Butler, with Vielle having the same rapport as he once had 8 years prior. His account was unbanned on October 31, 2019, and the original NTM tag was given back to him shortly thereafter, despite being an exclusive tag owned by the admin's alt piepants. The only team Vielle has affiliated with since was SECT, a team that his original was on when it was unbanned. Vielle later on became an exclusive Nitro Math tester, has taken a role in ideating season and NT ideas alongside rae and Eliserss, and has had exclusive perks such as early access to the Vader Cat sticker and becoming the first player to have access to the Shadow Floaty sticker.
Clans & Teams[]
Clans[]
Vielle founded the Nitro Type Masters on December 2, 2012, becoming the first person to ever found a group of players on Nitro Type, which he called clans. He had founded the clan on Andy5692's TypeRacer chat room with Roberto and andrew1167 being present. He led the clan until he re-branded it as the Supreme Overlords, eventually rivaling Nitro Type's Finest, with the competition coming to a head when Vielle and Nightmare (his rival at the time) competed for the highest session during mid-late December 2013. Eventually, Vielle was banned for 5 years in what was supposed to be an indefinite ban due to news trolling, which was considered a much more harsh offense at the time. Seeing as how he could not maintain SOL and wanted to move on, he had the clan merge with Nightmare's to form the Conquering Overlords, resulting in the formation of 3 separate clans that later turned into teams shortly thereafter. Because of this SBD, NTS, and NTF had formed.
The Rise of SECT[]
Vielle competed in Season 1 on Nightmare's account and was the co-leader and adviser to the team. This season, however, ended in controversy due to the manipulation of Season 1 results, despite the fact SECT was leading DOG in total point count for every day of the season. The reason for this removal was Nightmare's last-second use of Guest Racers to even out Smithy's point count due to the point disadvantage faster racers were at due to the longer loading times. Vielle had invented the use of guest racers as far back as 2013, which Corndog did not approve of at the time, although he took no action. Still, he brought it back briefly to help Nightmare clutch his lead over Smithy, with whom he was account sharing with at the time. While it was considered a last-ditch nuclear option to end the Season 1 rivalry, it was used as a basis to remove Nightmare's points. However, it was known that days before ever discussing or using this tactic, the Admins had planned to manipulate the results of the season days prior due to leaked emails to Smithy and team DOG, and the inconsistent basis that the Admins penalized guest racers, having gone to openly embrace people that would use such tactics with Bug Smasher titles instead of outright point removal.
Despite the messy results of this Season, Vielle wanted to also work alongside Moises, Smithy, and top leaders to clean up seasons from account sharing and another controversy afterward, although the rise of NTA complicated this, as the team did not show accountability for many of its racers indulging in behaviors, behaviors that had exceeded the actions of SECT members at the time. Because of this, tensions between DOG and other teams did not stop with SECT as many had anticipated. Despite this, Vielle also became good friends with Smithy and would help the team with warnings and knowledge in advance in regards to a rogue lone-wolf attack on DOG's shivtr by an NTA member, which had also leaked hundreds of private messages, including the planned manipulation of Season 1's results to purposefully give DOG the edge.
Vielle Fan Club[]
During Season 13, a team for Vielle was made by Tyrant called the Vielle Fan Club. At the time, there was a chance for your team to be featured in a news post if it made top 10 in a season - if that team succeeded they would get a chance to be on the wheel to make a potential appearance on the news post. While the team was struggling behind ESC (led by EscapeArtist), due to the fact VFC was made late into the season, there was a renewed push to make the team top 10, with many Discord players jumping on ship, one of these major players being Vielle himself. He believed he should put a significant share of effort into a team bearing his name on it and share the sacrifice other players had made in getting the team there in the first place. He had done the equivalent of an unannounced Typing Demon session shortly after. This helped the team barely push Top 10 above ESC. He then contacted Wildflower to get her to join the team, and a day later, it was announced that the Vielle Fan Club would be featured on a news post after winning a wheel draw by TheRedBaron, who also promised him that nothing on the scale of Season 1 would ever happen, despite it bearing Vielle's name on the team (a blacklisted word at the time).
Immediately VFC had become an overnight sensation, as it now had 4 super active racers in the form of Vielle, Tyrant, Harmony, and Wildflower, and it had brought in the entire Discord community behind a team that was now set to spar with SSH, which at the time was beginning to rise on its historically unprecedented winning streak. Vielle was good friends with Volatile at the time and held her in high respect due to her compassion and involvement in fostering a tight-knit team environment. During the beginning of Season 14, VFC managed to barely lead over SSH, having barely maintained its lead throughout the 36 hours it was up before it was shortly disbanded without given notice on the orders of Corndog, prompting a firestorm of controversy within the community, as this was now the 2nd rigged season in the game's history.
Feline Overlords[]
Later on, Vielle would participate in KTTY to help the team overtake DOG, alongside assistance with SSH, to successfully avenge the results of Season 1, and make a message about SSH's leadership style over that of DOG, which he was critical of at the time. While he didn't participate in it at the rate of Season 1 or Season 13, he would put a fair amount of races with his newly discovered speed and would help Galaxied and Ayeyuhskuh succeed in their goals. Despite KTTY's controversy, it did not get the same punishment as SECT or VFC did, despite the fact they were more measured in their approaches and behavior. This was made even more puzzling, as KTTY had openly used Guest Racers, a strategy Vielle came up with many years prior that was not allowed since it was used as a reason to manipulate the results of Season 1. Instead, the season would end up changing how fast WPM brackets were worth, which finally gave faster racers a more clear advantage in points, something that did not exist at the time due to the discrepancy in loading times between WPM zones.
Nitro Type Masters Revival[]
On October 31, 2019, Vielle was unbanned on Nitro Type, and a few months later, the NTM tag was released by the admins, after which Vielle claimed it. However it was made very clear early on that he would not make the team competitive and would welcome it as a team for friends, the original members of the clan, and any Nitro Type veterans that wanted to retire on a team without any binding agreements, to return to the image of how clans and teams once were - where people were not pressured to race constantly or meet deadlines. He believed that this took away what it meant to be a team due to the rapid turnover and low member retention that ensues when a team attempts to compete and he did not agree with this environment or the rationale that was pushing the competition in the first place. A lot of these factors became more prevalent and centralizing as seasons took hold which furthermore compromised many people's vision of a team that fostered an environment of people you grew up with for months on the site regardless of people's circumstances or opportunities on the site.
Since the Nitro Type Masters has been brought back, Vielle has kept the team at a relatively low profile, while using it as a casual retirement place for players and legends on the site. At most, the team has made occasional appearances in the top 50 and does not intend to host competitions. It instead aims to maintain and preserve the legacy of its history and its players.
SECT's Comeback[]
Vielle briefly participated in the Top Type podcast alongside Nightmare during Season 39, having raced on multiple accounts, totaling over 20,000 races for SECT through the pioneering and use of his multi-racing strategy, having helped and co-led SECT alongside Nightmare to help it win 2 seasons in a row by conquering Nitro Arcade Vol. 1 and 2 respectively.
Season Placements[]
Despite being unbanned, Vielle has no history of season placements on his main account. He instead prefers to help from behind the scenes and take on unique roles allowing him to take advantage of his experience, connections, and influence to support teams. Because of this, he has played a major role in several seasons, especially through his role as former Discord Owner and Admin, and as one of the community's top figureheads.
Alternate Accounts[]
Vielle has raced on other alternate accounts before, including when he moderated News comments through Andrew1167 and Andy5692's accounts, as well as helping Andrew get event achievements for many years despite the fact Vielle was banned. He appeared in the Speed Hall of Fame numerous times on accounts that weren't his own, with the most notable one being 999x, which was formerly Rrraptor's account. Vielle has also done half of the races on Dangerbob's custom car account, as well as having done many races on Nightmare's account during competitive seasons to help SECT, a team he advised and co-led at the time, largely through the use of his multi-racing strategy that he invented, resulting in Vielle doing over 20,000 races in 2 months on accounts that were not his own during May and June of 2022.
Vielle used throwaway alts during the timespan of 2013-2014, although most of them are banned or unused. Since then he has only used alternate accounts during Season 14 to help VFC, a fan club made by Tyrant for Vielle, as well as an account on KTTY to help it beat DOG. Since then he has not used other accounts, as he has given away all of his alternate accounts in giveaways.
Legacy and Generational Influence[]
v1 Nitro Type[]
2012 Xmaxx Event[]
Early on, Vielle immediately made a name for himself by becoming one of the first naturally talented fast typists, as well as one of the most competitive players, furthermore doubling down on his commitment and passion to the game by also being outspoken about his criticisms and outgoing with his suggestions. He would become one of the most recognizable community players by a continued history of going out of his way to find and chart out the community and bring players together. This would quickly culminate into him creating a clan early onto joining the site, an idea he used from other sites that he sought to bring to Nitro Type. This turned into an instant success as his rather unlikely idea for a typing website was followed through by other players, and immediately welcomed by the Admins during the 2nd day of the 2012 Xmaxx Event.
There is no more centralizing event to Vielle's role as an influential player than the first ever event on the site. In a short timespan he went from a semi-active player to a player who went up the leaderboards and saved his cash for the NASA Shuttle (during a time when only 1 other player owned it), to immediately having more than enough funds to do so at a time all within a 24-hour timespan in the days between the beginning and end of November and December. What resulted was the 2012 Xmaxx Event, which gave more rewards than anything that had ever existed on the site. By becoming a competitive player and pursuing all the achievements in a single session, he inadvertently broke sessioning records, and eventually doubled down on it with consistent and bigger sessions that made him the face of Nitro Type's extreme, while doubling down as an active presence on the Nitro Type News.
The Nitro Type Masters and Foundation for Teams[]
In that same month of 2012, many social features were brought on to the site including profile views, friends, and the forums that had also included a section for clans, something that would've never happened if not for the Nitro Type Masters. Vielle's sudden top-tier levels of speed and activity allowed him to become a frequent top 3 player on both leaderboards, as well as setting session records and becoming the face of a clan that had brought many imitators and impersonators, as well as the social status of elite players at the time. Early off-platform activity had previously never existed, and this was only achieved when Vielle, upon hearing Maggot Merchant's interest in making a site, had done so, thus bringing together a website for the Nitro Type Masters, with the clan eventually creating a joint YouTube channel with other NTM Members, just as they had done with the Nitro Type Masters email, as well as making making a Weebly site for recruitment and information. This explosive outreach and culmination of community talents was a powerful step for the game. Vielle was also one of the first major active users to participate and edit the Nitro Wiki, having risen immediately to Bureaucrat and Administrator around the beginning of 2013, with the wiki first being advertised and proposed on the Forums.
During this period many news posts were largely dominated by NTM members, usually representing 10% of all news comments, and it remained as a largely uncontested clan due to its powerful influence having 2 of the site's only moderators, access to early car leaks, heads-up and early access with the admins, dissemination of early bugs and glitches in the game, and the only chat platform that existed for the community at the time. While his clan would eventually turn into the Supreme Overlords, something that he would do this during his merge with ATL. This was an unheard of practice at the time. Vielle would become notable for recruiting top-tier picks, with one such example being Sean Wrona, who joined the clan after a request from ShiftThePro. Sean Wrona was known for being the fastest player in the world, having won the Ultimate Typing Championship in 2010, and for appearing on the #1 spot for the All-Time Speed Leaderboard. This was during the peak of SOL's rivalry with NTF, one of the most notable clan rivalries in history. Because of this, Vielle was also one of the only players to ever race Sean Wrona during that period.
Infamy and Downfall[]
The second most notable event was Vielle's ban in 2014, an event that turned the most famous player of all time on the site into a permanently ostracized member of the game, with an unlikely historic arc with the admins that manifested through historic events within the community. After the ban, Vielle had notably became outspokenly critical of the site and the events that transpired at the time, with many of his views incidentally aligning with many players later on, as Vielle's very statements would eventually be echoed by many players who felt the site had gone downhill during recent times. One such major event was the change of moderation from powerful NTM community-affiliated moderators to the inclusion of moderators such as Iloveshoes2, whom Vielle was unaware of until returning to the community through the SBD Shivtr. Shoes' moderation style and out-of-touch stance with the game's community had angered the player base and pushed disobedience on the site in a way that had not been seen since Vielle's antics on the site.
The ban had also resulted in a lot of false statements, rumors, and exaggerations that were intended to keep him off the site by the admins, with such outrageous claims being that the police and school were contacted, as well as saying Vielle had botted and cheated all his races, and erroneously hacked the site during February 2014. Eventually, his name was put into the filter, where it remained for many years; because of this, you could not include Vielle in a news post. To work around the filter, many people referred to him as "He Who Shall Not Be Named" or "The Mighty V". All of his news comments were purged out, and he was removed from both Retrospectus posts. Despite this, he had sympathetic players who did not think his ban was deserved, although many people believed the statements made by the admins until the pinned Forum posts stating the reason for Vielle's ban were removed. This would only grow, as many players would get banned for offenses far worse than what Vielle had done, only to get up getting unbanned shortly after, causing many players to lose faith in the game's integrity.
v1 Legacy[]
Vielle's history on v1 Nitro Type started with one of the most historic peaks on Nitro Type that eventually became one of the most recognizable bans on the site's history, to the point it became a running gag that he would he never be unbanned, with his presence in the community only complicating his case further. However, despite this, he left behind an environment of clans and an influential expansion of the community that was changed forever, becoming one of the biggest sole catalysts for the eventual creation of teams, which is currently the only social feature on the site, further backed by the fact that it eventually became the only feature on the leaderboards before they were ultimately fully removed in 2024 in favor of leagues. Without the clan, strong commitment, and meteoric leadership at the time, it is unlikely the site would have ever been the same. Vielle likewise had become the first major visible icon of a legendary player that had reached peaks in activity, sessions, rapid speed increases, becoming a renowned leader that helped push for major features such as Gold Memberships and social features, which was a large part of the site's direction with the biggest turning point happening around the period of Vielle's unban, which had resulted in crackdowns on Vielle-related accounts and people that sympathized with him on the News or Forums. Eventually the Forums were shut down, and many remaining NTM members became inactive, with SOL and its merger with COL resulting in the indirect creation of SBD.
Competitive Accomplishments[]
Another unmistakable footprint of Vielle's legacy from v1 is the push in competition, rivalry, and individuality, with advancements in racing techniques, sandbagging, and coining terms like nitrolling, to clan and player rivalries that took the form of session records, and speed. He was responsible for the creation of the titles Keyboard Cat, Nitro Type Masters, and Emperor / Empress due to his session history. Vielle became known for being one of the first players to consistently speedrun the Nitro Type events, become the most active Nitro Type News commenter and Nitro Type Forum poster, and participate in multiple avenues of the community, and becoming one of the first major players to successfully network with the admins to help push new ideas. Vielle had excelled in countless categories and had became a legend in his own right by demonstrating his talent and would consistently hold many records on the site, something many players did not pursue at the time.
v2 Nitro Type[]
Return to the Community[]
Due to his ban, Vielle concurrently became known as one of the most infamous and famous players in the community, holding an anachronistic duality due to his status as one of the most iconic players, having represented the community and game veterans on the site, and having an unlikely journey that took him to the highs and lows of the site. His name was often times only known by people that experienced the major events at the time, and he was notoriously associated with being one the first major "hackers" with a dark history because of his history of finding destructive game-breaking bugs in mid-2014. Even though his name was feared and unwanted, he would be welcomed upon joining the SBD Shivtr in 2015 and became synonymous with giving his history and background on the game in contrast to the admin and the direction of the site. His experience distinguished him the most in the community before he would become an active user of the SBD and NT Olympic Shivtrs, eventually culminating into him being admin on a number of other Shivtrs before pursuing the dream of a new united community through the Nitro Type Discord when he found a small server that existed that would have otherwise flew under the radar on the Nitro Type Olympics Shivtr.
Upon returning and having a changed community image since his arrival to the SBD Shivtr, Vielle would become a player associated with the only NT-inspired community event: the Nitro Type Olympics. Because Vielle was controversial, he carefully distanced himself, but he found himself to be an ally of many players around there, and an active and routinely helpful typist. He would back players such as LightningTyper in late 2016 and was now participating as a background player on the game that wanted to make waves within teams. He now had a network of players he consistently talked to on the game, something that he did not have during his hiatus in 2015. Vielle was appointed to a Shadow Chairman role on the NT Olympics, serving as a player that had access to the IOC Bank (although he did not ever such such permissions), and the chat to suggest ideas on how to promote the Olympics and expand its appeal, with one such proposal he had being the idea of Olympic Betting. For the first time since his ban, he had influence on the community again, and was in a position to now serve as a top player with what existed of the off-site community.
The Nitro Type Discord[]
This unlikely bet had turned into the Nitro Type Discord, which brought record level chatting, engagement, proliferation of media sharing, and content in a way that had never been done before. Despite having no game presence to speak of, Vielle now was one of the most important community players, as Discord had strengthened the appeal and unity of the community in a lightning fast fashion largely in part due to Vielle's advertising and placement of the Discord server through the Shivtrs and Wikia, creating a long-standing relationship between the NT Wiki and the NT Discord that continues to this day. Vielle would become notable for being one of the most powerful staff figures in the NT Discord's entire history, and as a recognizable administrator and leader of the community due to it. One of the most notable climaxes in the Discord's history was the Discord staff conflicts between Vielle and server owners that has cemented Vielle as being one of the most centralizing figures in the community's entire trajectory from the inception to the present day. His leadership in the first server had resulted in a transfer of ownership to him, from Volhosis, which many Discord staff members had strong disagreements with at time, with the event nearly resulting in a pre-emptive server split that was cancelled after the staff's ultimatum was met.
Season 1 and Teams[]
With no account on the game to speak of, and a mysterious history of interaction with the site, Vielle made a sizable impact on the community and eventually would have a major impact on the game when he set the stage for Nightmare's return to the game, of whom he was now friends with. Nightmare, unlike every other in-game player that feared being banned, had actually welcomed Vielle to his team, and Vielle had full intentions to make history on the game again and challenge the establishment, which was seen as the big three reigning teams: NTA, DOG, and STPR, teams that Vielle and some players were critical of. Nightmare and Vielle enjoyed a similarly respected status as controversial veteran players on the site that had recognizable statuses, and because of this they were seen as the potential antiheroes of the site that had the full intentions of representing the community's synthesis into the game, something that had been sorely missing since the end of Clans, something both Vielle and Nightmare felt strongly about. Because of this, Vielle's prominent backing, networking, and blue-ocean strategies of appealing to a larger new swath of players through the community had created one of the first ever original Discord teams, the most recognizable of which being SECT - a name and image Vielle had strongly helped to create.
This had now set the stage for one of the most toxic team environments ever in Seasons history, with the News often times becoming a battleground for arguments between the famous players and community, of which had now taken civil disobedience and outspoken opinions at levels that had been unprecedented in the news entire history. During the lead-up to Season 1, many players were introduced to a new team people had not seen before that was now controversial, full of unlikely veteran players and new typing legends that had an unmistakably entrenched presence on Discord that united many very unlikely players, of whom many were now anti-establishment for the first time, creating an environment of team rivalry that spilled off into the news that was previously unimaginable in the game's scene, complicated only further due to Nightmare's history and open association with Vielle, which was considered unprecedented and as disqualifying grounds for him to be a part of the game by many players and captains on the news.
Post-Season 1 Legacy[]
Vielle's role in v2 was largely background and was consistently defined by controversy as his name had been associated with some of the most negative events on the site's history. Aside from his famous association with Nightmare which was considered one of his most infamous years, back in 2014 and 2017, it would perhaps be in no bigger event than the one that resulted from Season 1 when the Admins had taken the extra step to remove all of Nightmare's points in the season in order to make SECT lose the season despite having a major lead that was never lost during the entirety of the season. This event had single-handily destroyed many bridges between the players and the site, and destroyed the remaining confidence in the competitive integrity of Seasons. The first thing players were largely hopeful for had now turned into a disaster that resulted in massive censorship on the NT News and reinterpretation of historical facts in a manner very similar to when Vielle was banned in 2014. The admins thought more highly of Nightmare than Vielle ever since Vielle's ban on the site, and it is likely that the admins would not have manipulated the Season had Vielle not been so closely involved with Nightmare's account and the team at the time. As Vielle often times performed many co-captain duties, distributed rewards, posted MotDs, rallied members, and make his support and involvement with the team known at the time, although he never disclosed the fact he account shared with Nightmare since he was not ever allowed on the site by any other alternate accounts thus putting Nightmare's account at great risk.
Vielle's involvement in Seasons had now resulted in the most prominent clash between the community and the game that had ever existed, as well as the model for how to run a Discord-based team. Because of how successful Vielle and Nightmare's tactics with SECT was, most teams had to adapt to Discord in order to keep up, a process which would take years to fully realize. And furthermore this created a story of unlikely success, as Nightmare had been botted for botting in December 2016 after reviving NTF, only to go on and create SECT on a new account and re-recruit all the members he had done before. For the first time ever, the external community had made a sizable foothold on the game's top-level again and had sent a message that they could upset the environment and have a powerful presence on seasons. SECT had created the model of a Discord team that recruited from every corner of the existing community, made coalitions, rapid mergers, and challenged authority, while exceeding records set by all other teams at the time, a further proof of Vielle and his ability to make an impact and strong influence on the site even without an account to speak of.
TypeRacer[]
Vielle's influence managed to expand to sites like Type Racer, and he would consistently prove his ability to influence sites, and make a significant generational change in competition, awareness, and helping become a powerful community figurehead when he participated in TypeRacer after he was intrigued due to the small amount of crossover between the two Discord communities. Vielle had set all-time month race records, marathons (the TR 24-hour equivalent of Sessions), and he had also managed to show himself as a surprisingly fast typist. What made him stand out more was his public background as a Nitro Type player, something the Type Racer community was unfamiliar with. He brought on many Nitro Type players by using his powers as the Server Owner to promote Type Racer in contrast to Nitro Type, which won him a rare praise from TypeRacer's founder, Alex Epshteyn, a person that had also never messaged 90% of Type Racer's Moderators, and was rarely seen.
Upon setting many records on TypeRacer and creating the first major crossover between the two communities, Vielle became a TypeRacer moderator that had sensitive permissions, including banning powers, as well as being the site's head text manager, with power to accept and reject texts into the game. Vielle's reputation had turned from an unlikely community antihero whose pinnacle was his secret participation in Seasons 1, to now a moderator of the 2nd biggest typing website. Although Vielle was largely non-controversial, he was not liked by a segment of Type Racer players called the "Speed Typers", as their leader had went out of their way to create conspiracies about him and the TypeRacer Mods, eventually resulting in Speed Typers Discord being banned from TypeRacer when they started harassing and threatening all Nitro Type-related players. Because of this, and Vielle's strong promotion of the TypeRacer Discord, he helped centralize the TypeRacer community into one chatroom, just as he had tried to help unite the Nitro Type community around one server a year prior. This would be evident as the Type Racer community would bounce up in activity and engagement.
Discord Prosperity[]
The Nitro Type Discord had server as the hub of the community and was aided in its successes, connections, historical crossover into seasons with occasional Discord-backed teams which had immediate momentum, and now the Nitro Type Discord server was a commercial hub of giveaways, team cross-over, Discord bots, and access to a wealth of the game's knowledge, which was now backed by safe and continuing leadership that persisted as Galaxied led the NT Discord. Notably many teams had sought out the backing of Vielle to back teams due to his renowned history as a powerful seasons figure that could unite the Discord community. Vielle would have a good history with TheRedBaron, having helped him with Discord, and major cases around certain notorious cheaters, as well as communicating the community's concerns. Because of the admin's joining the Nitro Type Discord, and its high activity, it grew until it peaked around 2018 during this time. It was at this point the community was at its peak of unity and activity and was growing at a fast rate as opportunities and events would consistently open up.
Vielle Fan Club[]
Vielle would be a central name around yet another Season controversy when the Vielle Fan Club team by Tyrant was removed during Season 14 in May 2018. VFC was set to be featured in a News post by TheRedBaron after the team had clutched top 10, thanks in strong parts to Vielle's sudden Typing Demon session during the last 48 hours help push the team. The Vielle Fan Club was backed by many prominent players and supported by a majority of Discord users. The team's rise can be seen as an a continuing trend of the Community's clash with the admins as it had underscored the deep and difficult tensions that TheRedBaron was unable to play around, eventually coinciding with him distancing from much of the community following the event and outcries of the players at the time. The removal of VFC was condemned by many top teams including Volatile and SSH, of whom VFC was competing against. Despite this the Vielle Fan Club was an unlikely Discord joke team that had turned into a serious instantaneous community phenomenon when it exploded into a number 1 team over the span of an unlikely weekend, a team that Vielle was also very closely involved with. This event had destroyed much of the community's trust in the admins again and spawned numerous memes and references mocking the incident, and further popularizing Vielle and the community's image in contrast to the in-game admins and failures of the site, which had gone out of its way to cause massive problems that alienated most of its hardcore players on a repeated basis.
Speed Accomplishments[]
Vielle would leave an impressionable speed legacy, by improving in speed in late 2017 and throughout all of 2018 with the pinnacle of his speed rivalries occurring between Vielle and Rrraptor. Rrraptor was rumored to be Nightmare due to his fast speed and mysterious activity in Season 2 at one point. Vielle had participated in many of Rrraptor's friend races, having gotten into many games where Rrraptor would set new high speeds and records. These races were the only ones he had done on the site in his off-seasons where he was not participating in a major competition. Eventually Vielle went from typing 160 WPM to a 175 average that then turned into a 190 average on Nitro Type by the end of 2018. He had now done something that he thought was impossible in his lifetime, become the fastest player on Nitro Type. While Rrraptor was faster than Vielle at many times, Vielle had managed to land a remarkable consistency, although he didn't match Rrraptor's burst speeds. Vielle was able to place in the Hall of Fame through Rrraptor's 999x account he gave Vielle. Because of this many players came to recognize or hear of Vielle as being the one of the fastest Nitro Type players, or as a TypeRacer Moderator, a complete departure from his original V1 image, or ban-history. Vielle was however eventually surpassed by Chakk, of whom he was also friends with, who had became the world's fastest typist at the time in 2019.
SECT-Inspired Legacy and Typing Competitions[]
One interesting trickle effect was KTTY's SECT-inspired approach to Nitro Type, when the Feline Overlords set out to beat DOG, while creating a team made by the energy and whims of Discord. An unlikely domino-effect ensued that resulted in the Clicking Championship tournament of 2019 when P. Phan was gradually introduced into the typing community through the competition of Nitro Type Teams. It was here Vielle would also compete and hold major influence with as he would become a notable backer and helped set the vision for more passionate projects and obscure typing games to revitalize as well in addition to his work on Type Racer and networking, and advertising P. Phan's community and events until his sudden unannounced departure from the scene. This would be the last time all major typing sites and establishments had near universally backed and participated in a single community.
Relations with the Admins[]
Vielle would be able to have extended influence and insight into the community and the game when he was able to work with community managers or admins. Including his limited communication with Admins such as Travis at the time in the Discord. One of his longtime friends, Asssa123, a player that had grown up in the community and also had their likely ups and downs within the site, would eventually be hired to Teaching.com, a move that had mended much of the community's relations with the admins in a way that had been previously impossible. Vielle would become notable for communicating with him, and for helping make the suggestion to look into the stolen accounts that were owned by Deon, Dangerbob, and Xplode at the time. As a result, hundreds of veteran accounts were found to be compromised, and were all subsequently banned. For the first time ever, Vielle had a direct link of trust to the game and its admins and ability to help make more direct change on the game.
Server Split[]
Vielle had a little role and involvement in the Nitro Type Discord Server during late 2018 until he inadvertently changed history on April 2019 when he had reported Ayeyuhskuh was the secret person behind man of the attacks on the site, despite the fact Vielle was communicating with him. This news was taken to Asssa, who then approached Galaxied, the server leader Vielle had given ownership to, and he had made a brash decision to back his friend Ayeyuhskuh and instead prompted to ban Vielle and Asssa123, who were two of the most recognizable and liked figures in the entire community's history. Because of this a new Discord was created by Vielle, Nes, and Asssa123, as well as many veteran loyalists and Discord staff members. There was a swift plan made to announce and advertise the server impressively fast, and many sources and links were by changed by Vielle to advertise the new Discord, thus cutting off the old Discord's supply of new members. As a result Galaxied rebranded his server and now the successor Discord was the sole community hub.
This change in server split had remarkable implications for Vielle's standing with the Admins, as he was rewarded with over a hundred dollars, according to leaks from DV0RAK, although it was rewarded for reporting critical game breaking bugs that would be used to attack the site, an ironic turnaround from Vielle's situation in 2014. As a result he was now in good standing with the Admins and could freely associate himself without warning about being banned or pushed away from the game. Because of this he would eventually be officially unbanned. A complete turnaround from the start of V2, and a remarkable change in the admin's image with the community, however this had placed him as a moderate factor that had focused on getting along with the majority of the players as opposed to possibly alienating other players.
v3 Nitro Type[]
Modern Influence[]
The new era in V3 Nitro Type was a complete shift, as V1 had shown the most unmistakable journey a player had embarked on the site, and V2 marked him as an unlikely anti-hero of the community, it would be within V3 that his image would become largely non-controversial, as he had became a player recognized for many positive reasons. The most recurring of which was his status as a competitive world typist; a remarkably far departure from his skeptical stance on the site when he first joined it, and dismissal of mechanical keyboards and unaware of the existence of speed typing back in 2012.
Aside from being on good standing with the admins, he would become the first player to officially play Nitro Math, and to also network his ideas and suggestions to the site as he had once did in v1. This came with exclusive stickers and perks, and opportunities to help the site, a testament to how Vielle is seen as one of the most trusted players in the community and the game due to his long history an image; and association with the admins of the game. His role on the Discord has waned as he has stepped aside from all staff roles related to the NT Discord and many community servers in 2019, feeling that the game and community is in a better place than where it was years ago.
Multi-Tracking and SECT Comeback[]
The last time Vielle has raced for any season was for dozens of accounts on SECT during Season 39 - Nitro Arcade, where he invented and brought multi-tracking in widescale fashion for long sessions. Because of this Vielle was able to do 5,000 races within 24 hours on the site spread across multiple accounts, while streaming it on Top Type alongside Nightmare. Because of this he was able to single-handily close point gaps between SECT and TBZ, as well as between SECT and REB3LS. This inspired many players on SECT to pursue this strategy, therefore changing the strategy of the Seasons landscape and innovating upon new ways for racers to contribute more races to teams that what was thought to be possible, by combining multi-tracking, sandbagging, sessioning, window-switch macros, and hyper-multitasking in order to achieve the simultaneous racing on 4 different accounts, while avoiding the disqualify timer. Vielle had played a large co-captain role on the team just as he did in Season 1 and was instrumental in helping SECT conquer Nitro Arcade.
Cross-Generational Impact[]
Vielle has represented the genesis and journey of a Nitro Type player and represented the community to other typing sites, and has been one of the most important Discord figures on the community, that has a continuing influence and history of adaptability that has made him consistently one of the most influential Nitro Type players in history, with unmatched experience on the game and the community. He is introduced with the Nitro Type section being introduced alongside him in Sean Wrona's book, Nerds Per Minute. Vielle's legacy on the site is not just confined to a few particular accomplishments, but a lineage of generational influence that spans across multiple time periods and significant events that have had a transformative impact on the community and game that has had a major role influencing the game's direction throughout competition, teams, and seasons. And by shaping the community through the Discord, the NT Olympics, Shivtrs, the Forums, the News Comments, Moderation, the Wikia, and rendezvousing back to Clans and Teams, of which he has had a central role in throughout the game's history.
Present Day and Embedded Legacy[]
In the times since 2022, he has been administrator of many popular Nitro Type Discords, and appeared on countless amounts of YouTube videos on the scene since, due to his multiple exclusive awards, such as "Legendary" and the Nitreux Vielleux in 2023; as well as participation and patronage of the Nitro Type community. As well as having a major impact on facilitating information around upcoming content, as well as helping players around the site for various reasons. Because of his involvement on Nitro Math, he has been inducted as one of the many loading screen captions, and has had an outsizing role on helping the course of Nitro Math. Vielle has played a role on helping shape some of the later Nitro Type seasons, car suggestions, as well as the daily and weekly shop lineup. Vielle has been known for his extensive work against scammers, exploiters, and cheating in the Nitro Type community, on top of being one of the most trusted players among the Nitro admins and the community at large. With much of his work in the community being exclusively dedicated towards selfless help for nothing in return.
Saving the Community[]
Since April, Vielle has been involved in reporting vulnerabilities and cracking down on cheaters, hackers, and people engaging in attacking and terrorizing the Nitro Type community after the eRacers Discord server was taken down, by taking temporary ownership of the server, and identifying one of the biggest malware attacks in NT history. Because of this, a massively unprecedented downtick in botting occurred after it was found out that Ginfio's program was maliciously hijacked to steal Nitro Type and Discord tokens, a tactic that was used to take down the biggest NT Discord server at the time. Because of this, NT pushed for more security measures shortly thereafter following knowledge of the accounts, and due to Vielle's swift response and safeguards, he helped thwart an attempted attack to hijack and disband REB3LS, and rescued Odai's account, therefore saving ZL from being maliciously disbanded. As a result of identifying and warning people about the exploits, he helped indirectly prevent 100s more NT accounts and computers from being maliciously hacked and exposed. Shortly after, NT planned to introduce 2-factor authentication and additional security measures to help prevent attacks of this scale from ever happening again.
