Re: What's the story, if any, to your ship names?
Well, I have since renamed my main character's ship to the USS Surprise. Named in honor of the ship from the Aubrey–Maturin series by Patrick O'Brien. A series with quite a lot of Ho-Yay.

Re: Where do you see Stonewall going?
Personally i have no worries about expanding as long as the Fleet leadership does not try to do to much individually, i.e. trying to wear to many hats.
By the By, speaking of expanding, i hope we have some plan for what to do when(if?) more factions are added to STO. Most of my feds will hit the grinder as soon as the Romulan(i hope) faction comes online.

Re: Want to donate to the fleet? Get a forum sig! :D
The star as the 'O' looks good, but the 'vice' of "Vice Admiral" is not so clear then as it's against the lighter backdrop of the MSD. This arrangement also results in slightly uneven spacing between lines. I really like both though.

Just made my own sig...will put some $$$ in the bank for royalties relating to using the fleet's logo. How do you like it?
OK, here is an alternative version that uses that distant sun as the O in my name. Which signature is better? Any suggestions?

Re: Sims 3
My boyfriend and I just made ourselves on his Sims 3 game. We gave ourselves our proper signs (I'm a Leo, I forget what he is because I don't follow that stuff much, but he's beginning of May). We tried to make our personality traits true to life, too. We were both Artistic and Absent-Minded (or whatever it's called there). My others are Vegetarian, Eccentric, and something about being outgoing or something. His others were Computer Whiz, and I forget what else.
Next time I'm at his place I'm hoping to design our house. I've gathered that I'm better at that aspect of the game than he is.

Re: A Stonewall Guide to Diplomacy 1.5
Ooh, thanks for updating and bringing my attention to this topic and thread. This has been my personal goal as of late: to max out my DXP. There are some missions that I still haven't done on the list.

Re: Being Human
I haven't seen the British version of Being Human, but I do like the American version so far. I think they do a good job in portraying the struggle between lying about oneself to fit in and the desire to be free but alone. Plus I like the characters, especially the socially awkward werewolf and the neurotic ghost.

Re: Sims 3
I just got the new stuff pack for Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff.
I haven't installed it yet because I like to make sure some of my custom gameplay mods have had a chance to get updated before I add it. That way I avoid loosing all the additional updates/changes I enjoy playing with...
I was wondering anyone has gotten the new stuff pack and what they think of it?
I'm looking forward to the new Hot Tubs, and the out door objects... My Gay sims will love throwing parties in the backyard with some of these new objects and interactions.

Re: Where do you see Stonewall going?
In some of the replies, I get a sense of worry about expanding into other games.
Could someone elaborate on what their worries are? Also, what would help calm those worries?

Re: Where do you see Stonewall going?
Where do I see the Fleet going? Its taken me some time to sit down and think exactly what I think and what I hope.
I for one, am very excited to see this question being asked so openly! I think it’s the way the best guilds need to operate, the ones that last the longest would include involvement from all its members.
Anyway, on to what I think; the MMO developers seem to be taking things in small steps these days with an ever changing MMO marketplace. Its also the way I work, while it is good to have aspirations of where we want to be, I don’t want to get too distracted in that to not give the here and now the best of my efforts and make it the best experience possible. As I have read, people are talking about expanding to MMOs. Not everyone plays just one game, there may be a few, especially with some going free to play. I think it would be great to give a home to our current members in other games, but only if they prove popular enough with our fleet to justify putting in the time and effort to expand. As it has been mentioned, something comes out, something goes free to play and people go “oh shiney” and flock to it, to soon get bored and abandon it.
I see right now our focus being STO with a keen eye on the horizon to Star Wars. However, something has come our way which has a few people interested! Champions Online. While I am reluctant to say, lets go jump on the band wagon, it would be interesting to see who would go over to play that game. I know I will probably using it as my STO backup or when I need a little break.
I believe we have a great community here already and I wouldn’t like to see us expand too far, too fast to the point of fracture. There could be such a thing as too big a guild! Unless its micromanaged, but thinking of that is starting to give me a headache already.
Back to the here and now, the Fleet is my main focus, I won’t be going anywhere soon and hope to provide the best experience for all our other and future members. I have said it before and will say it again, we have the best people in the game right here. I want to look at improving and refining what we do and can do before we think about expansion. For example, I am looking at the Academy right now and want to make it the best for the fleet as I know everyone else is with their own sections (which is why its taking some time…. That and my total lack of computer skills).
We have a great future ahead of us though, and I just think we should take it a step at a time… enjoy the journey.
Absolutely. We need to be very cautious as we move into a multi-guild structure. We need to take our time and think about each step as we take it and that's one of the main reasons I wanted to make this thread. A lot of guilds have attempted this in the past and it has failed; I don't want the same thing to happen here. We need to plan far ahead in advanced, create a detailed roadmap, and continually revise it until its just right.
As well, we still have lots of work to do with Stonewall Fleet. We, by no means, have reach our potential and there's plenty of work to be done. Just 5 days ago, we completely relaunched our Crafting Corp ran Stonewall Fleet Store and as you put so well, we're currently developing our own Academy! There's definitely progress being made here.
We definitely can become too big. Our size, or rather the numbers in our membership, really has no bearing on why we should go into other MMOs. We're doing this so our friends don't feel the need to leave when they're done playing STO or when they want to play a different game. As the saying goes, size doesn't matter. What does matters is our wonderful community, providing a safe atmosphere and enjoy which ever game we're in.
