In my first post underneath Structure, I explain that we're talking about the organization that Stonewall Fleet and Knights of Stonewall belong to. In the second post, the 'NicholasJohn Network' is suggested by Halish. The 'NJSMAGOFAGFGASIOTI' option was suggested here by SeanNewBoy and the appearance of FAG in the acronym is merely a coincidence. It was submitted as a joke and wasn't meant to be taken seriously. 'The NJ Gaming Community' was suggested by nniicc here.

It's in this post, that I mention The Stonewall Family and the Stonewall Gamers Alliance which is a completely separate organization.

To help make the invitation process more clear, we recently finished a guide on the steps to get invited into the guild. Our Welcome Center is a bit sparse at the moment, but that will be filled with time.

We're currently understaffed at the moment in Knights of Stonewall and we know so. To that end, we've begun accepting applications for 'Captains' to help out and we'll be filling more positions soon.

That being said, we do have officers and 'LTs' helping out ingame. Our officers are from different parts of the country and world and play at different times. They may simple play at different times, but they are there.

officer list
add DakonKor to that list

Thanks! That Officer List was what I couldn't locate. Was looking for it in the menus above... forgot to check the Council Chamber.

Well, I've progressed to lvl43 and many of my previous Emperor questions have been answered. :)

I suspect even more will be answered in the next level or two.

Just started on Voss.

Sounds like you should read the thread before posting replies.

I read all 10 pages, actually. Did I miss something?

Thanks for the info, Jon.

So... is there a list somewhere of Officers and Captains, Republic and Empire sides, with a list of their toons? If not, that would be very helpful.

Someone was actually mentioning in gchat that they'd emailed the Personnel Dept. and hadn't had any response. Then what are they to do?

I'm a little confused here... Who/what organization are we talking about?
Knights of Stonewall, Lords of Stonewall, Stonewall Fleet? No one's seemed to make much mention of The Stonewall Family (the WoW Guild) who is supposedly a partner in this 'alliance'...?

Lest we forget, we're gamers, by the way, and it's the games that brought us all together.

Additionally it seems before we start over-extending our reach we need to do a little housekeeping here at home. The invite process seems a bit confused, the leadership structure seems unorganized, and no one besides Doogiegood (on Alliance side, at least) seems to be handling much in-game duties.

Maybe it's the Officer in me (in other guilds, not this one) but as a member it's very confusing around here.

How can we expand outside the bounds of the sub-guilds if those sub-guilds aren't functioning smoothly and efficiently?

Additionally, and no offense to Nick, but I'm a bit saddened to see the three references to Nick in the list of naming options.. I hope those were tongue-in-cheek, but not knowing Nick personally, I just don't know. And the single option that appears to be an acronym that includes "FAG" I just find offensive. (Thankfully no one has given that one a single vote.)

Here we're talking about how we want to be known and perceived outside the walls of our guild, and yet some of these options were presented as valid options/contenders? Is this really how we want to be known?

Sorry, but that wasn't the kind of guild I thought I was signing up for when I joined here. :(

This looks really nice.. I like it B)

Glad you liked it. :woohoo: I actually designed that at the request of the Warcraft Stonewall Family guild leader many months ago; I hadn't heard anything back after sending that to him and had figured the project had died.

Zepi/Zepari is GM of both guilds. I do know that all members have to follow the Code of Conduct. As far as invites go I know that Captains can do invites.

With issues that arise in the game I know you can speak to an officer about it who exactly is an officer on the republic side I'm not sure. I do know though that personally I am a Captain on both so if no one is on feel free to jump on the Empire side and see if I am on I'm personally more than willing to switch to add a character for someone.

I do know that if you cannot find anyone online worse case you can email leadership to report an issue.

Quote by CodeofConduct

Finally, any member can be removed from the guild without having violated the rules above if they are found to have negatively affected the overall morale of the guild. Such removals will only be in rare, extreme cases. These cases would be decided upon by a majority vote of the officers.

The above Code of Conduct is not exhaustive and Officers may take action to limit any behavior they deem to be disruptive.
If you feel like a member has broken the above Code of Conduct or that they are adversely affecting the morale of the fleet then please contact an Officer as soon as possible, or alternatively contact the Personnel Department in complete confidence at personnel@stonewallfleet.com.

If you are unclear about any part of the Code of Conduct then please ask an Officer for clarification. The consequences of failing to abide by this code can be found in the Member's Handbook.

Well sug. I know that Stonewall would LOVE to have you. Its totally important to us (and by us im speaking 4 myslef, but i know everyone else agrees....or else :P ) that you are comfortable. Honestly the biggest goal for this fleet (4 me agian) is exactly for ppl that need a place to just be themselves.

I know when i lived with my rents i was completely in the closet, but if i would have know these great guyz-2 give me support, 2 listen, 4 advice...well these things are important.

If these things are what you are after then right here is where you will find them here. Plus we are pretty good at just being fun.

Take it from me Chris, I was scared of just approaching a Gay fleet even though i desperately wanted to be with people like me. Im glad i met these people.

xoxoxo,
Caleb

I'd say something but it would only be a a restatement of the quote above. Welcome someone is always on and willing to help in this fleet, if you need anything let me know.

Hey guys,

I've been noticing a lot of chatter in guild chat lately where Officers or Guild Leaders are needed. A few issues:

• Guild Members getting argumentative with other guild members
• Guild members having problems with other "alliance" guilds' members (like Rough Trade, etc.)

I'd been directing people to Doogiegood, as I thought he was the Guild Leader (given he's been doing invites and handling some of the in-game problems - and handling them well, at that), but was corrected in gChat and told Zepi is managing the guild now...? However I don't see Zepi logged in a lot of the times I'm playing or when problems come up.

For the most part many of us in gchat have been directing people here to the forums, especially when Doogie wasn't around.

But basically... I'm curious what the guild leadership structure is and who's who and what's going on and who we should be directing people to if they have questions, need invites, etc.?

What properties do you guys usually use for forum sigs?

PSI?
Canvas dimensions?
File size?

I do a lot of Photoshop, but making forum sigs is something I haven't gotten into yet. I could probably figure out all these things but it's lazier to ask. ;)

Typically web format style is ok... there really isn't a set size but most try to stay with 400px wide and 250 height or less as it does show at the bottom of every forum post you make.

The guide isn't done yet but I'd really love any feedback anyone might have while I work on it!

Hi there,

I hope this is both in the right forum and is appropriate.

This has been a long time coming.

A bit about me:
-I found out about Stonewall Fleet on Brandon's blog quite some time ago
-I am currently closeted and am more comfortable about myself online
-I joined STO at launch and am a lifer, though I have only really been playing it lately, like the past three months or so
-Aussie
-Nerd

I am contemplating joining this fleet, I am currently in a real nice one, but wish I could be a bit more open about myself. It's not that I scream "gay, gay, gay" in games, its just that I am really getting into STO and would like to be a little more myself in the place that I am spending a fair amount of time.

I'm on STO a few hours a day, but am still such a newby (I don't know the benefits of this shield over that, or plasmas versus phasers) Every time I say I want to do a STF I get an excuse from my current fleet, "I am full, but am keen for next time" "I have to get my groceries", I would like a crew that could help me with that too.

I don't know what I am asking you peeps. Just want to see if Stonewall is for me.

Cheers mates,
Chris

So....how do you guys make those cool signatures?
