vBulletin total integration as social platform for browser game?
 

Hi!

I am already using vBulletin 3 as a stand-alone forum and am very satisfied with it.

Now we are developing a LAMPP based tactical browser game and I have tagged vBulletin for use as its forum, plus a few other things.

What I have in mind is this:

1. Users use only one login for the game and the forum
2. Certain actions within the game assign the user to a certain group, which in turn gives access to certain sub-forums within the forum, allowing the users to coordinate within their group.
3. User ranks in the game are mirrored as user ranks in the forum
4. The new CMS component will be used in the game as an internal news platform. Some of the news would be automatically generated by the game (e.g. when a player/user performs a spectacular success that is shared with the community).
5. This news platform also holds content reserved for specific user groups (i.e. group B might get a different article as mentioned in 4. as group B).

Is all this possible with vBulletin 4?

Where do I best start looking for somebody who can achieve this kind of integration with our core game?

Thank you for your help!
