Hello,
I'd advise joining VM or CC just for availability of members and events during times you'd play. VLKA events are just now starting up again and seem to be planned for ~3:30am EST / 12:30am PST Saturday morning, whereas CC is 2pm EST / 11am PST on weekends, and VM is 8pm EST / 5pm PST on Thursdays and Fridays. If you are a night owl, VLKA may be fine, but CC and VM seem to have more NA friendly times for their events currently. VM tends to have fewer people at their events, in my experience, and may be a better fit for a shy guy. I also believe the VM leaders (Sargent X and Sargent Q) are a bit easier to get a hold of for NA players than CC leaders. CC tends to have more people and the channel is usually quite a bit louder and more exciting. I believe both groups occasionally have Normal runs for leveling, but CC may have them more frequently due to having a larger attendance (have a few stragglers leftover after the main runs, hop onto Normal for some leveling). I can't speak to that with much certainty, though. Both are good houses for an NA player looking to join an established group that is willing to help them, and I can personally vouch for the leadership of both houses.
