Hey James. Yeah... I think we need to focus first on who is interested and then decide roles. I wouldn't want to force anyone to play a role they're not used to, but we may have to balance the team (will have to). I have 1 of every class but would have to acquire some gear if new roles are needed. COMPLETELY happy to try new things. I think you would be good to keep with your reaper. I'll keep track of who's interested and we'll meet after the group is full to discuss our strats.

On a side note... Did your hubby get into the guild? I sent him an invite but noticed he hadn't accepted it yet.

I am happy to fill the Reaper role. :D

I also have a Chronomancer, Druid and Guardian on the sidelines, but none are as geared as the Reaper.

GW2s first raid was released last night and it's not a walk in the park. I attempted the raid with 2 other guildies and pugged the rest. We made a commendable effort at taking down the vale guardian, but never quite managed to DPS enough during his last phase. We spent about 3-4 hours at it trying to tweak our strategy and always ran into the enrage mechanic in the end.

So... It's time to get things organized and see who all is interested in helping us tackle the new raid content. Those interested should be ready/willing to use TeamSpeak and open to modifying their builds to fit the needs of the team.

Please take a look at this general guide to get an idea of what to expect when attempting the Vale Guardian encounter: http://gamerize.net/how-to-beat-vale-guardian-guide-spirit-vale-raid-guild-wars-2/

If anyone needs help gearing, I'm planning to run semi-daily fractals to help build teamwork and work on ascended gear for anyone needing it.

Thank you guys

Given that you've done more in a volunteer role than I've done in some paying jobs, you're overdue for a vacation. Enjoy.

"Anyway, thanks for stopping by and continuing this discussion! I was kinda hoping we could all talk shop here but then this discussion fizzled out."

Probably because it ceased being a discussion, lol

Nick, once in a while everybody needs a break. Take your time.

Andrea :)

Completely understandable!
Take all the time you need; we'll behave properly (and clean out the treasure room :P )

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be taking some time off from my leadership position in the community. I've been leading this community for over 7 years now and I'm honestly burned out. After a while the stresses of leadership does really get to me. Stonewall Fleet is something I really care about and when issues arise they can take a personal toll. It had gotten to the point where I had a feeling of dread whenever I had to log into the site or respond to a message. Something that once filled me with joy was making me extremely unhappy and I was just about at my breaking point. I realized something had to change.

Two weeks ago, I told the Admirals and other Officers that I just needed some time away from the stresses of leadership. I'm already feeling better, but I still need more time off. I'd like to say that I'll be back to ship shape soon, but I'm honestly not sure. This doesn't mean I'm completely gone. I'm still around to handle anything that the current leaders can't (like regards to the website or TeamSpeak); I'm simply not involved in making leadership decisions or handling any issues that arise. The Admirals already doing a wonderful job in my absence. I have total faith in their abilities.

I'm still in-game pretty much daily; currently running Mirrors on multiple captains. (Finally got my Wide Angle Quantum Torpedo Launcher to unique and I'm thrilled!) Don't be afraid to say Hello.

Nick

YOu can now buy tickets from our Chief of Morale.. @Caiweaver

ooohh the EC pot grows ever big! updates soon

Attention Stonewall Fleet,

As most of you know, Stonewall Fleet is a vast community spanning four separate fleets in game as well as an expansive social network both in our TeamSpeak Chat Rooms and in our online forums. With such a large community, there is a great need for individuals to be in a Senior Member role; to help assist, and guide the membership at large.

The leadership structure of Stonewall Fleet is built upon a familiar concept; That the fleet leadership is broken up into separate departments, and that each of those departments has a specific function. Furthermore, all departments work in tandem for the betterment of the fleet as a whole.

Each department has its own Chief: The Admiral. The Admirals comprise the Leadership of Stonewall Fleet. Under each Admiral is a highly skilled team of senior fleet members called the Fleet Captains. These Fleet Captains assist in the every day running of the fleet as well as give their valued input on fleet command and guidance.

The position of Fleet Captain is a privilege; not a right. It is a position which we do not grant lightly. Each person placed in a FC position has been an outstanding member of the fleet prior to the promotion. They are friendly, helpful, a positive influence, and work well with others.

If you are interested in stepping up to the challenge, and lending a helpful hand to your fellow fleet mates; please submit a request for application to me. With your request, please indicate your top three department preferences. You will then be sent a brief application. Once your application is received, it along with all other applications will be reviewed. After all applications are received and positions have been filled, all applicants will be notified of the results.

All application requests are confidential, and will not be disclosed to anyone outside of the Fleet Admiralty.

We thank you in advance for your time, and dedication to Stonewall Fleet.

Please visit our Leadership page to see where we have open vacancies here.

We started off this raffle as a small idea to give thanks over the thanksgiving week, and to go alongside the PIKKUJOULUT event.. and the raffle became so popular that we had to find more prizes so that more members could enjoy the prize field.
Its one of the biggest raffles Stonewall fleet has ever seen!

Congratulations to the winners pulled from the hat at random, to attempt this in all fairness I recorded my screen and
