I'm always grateful to people in the public eye for having the courage to step up and do this. (Or for anyone who has the courage to do it, for that matter.)

Well given what kind of a Fleet this is and the Romulan proclivity for avians I'd say call it "The Birdcage." :P

But in all seriousness I like "Starbase Perseverance," for the Romulans, like our own community have undergone any trials, tribulations and hardships to get to where they are today.


I am with Jacien - Perseverance or the shorter version of Persevere.

I like "Starbase Unification" as well. Very canon when you think of Romulans and the Federation working together! B)

Starbase Resurgent

How does this apply to the LGBTQIA community? Well it wasn't that long ago that everyone was panicking about how the country was turning against us with all the anti-marriage laws being passed. However, the prospects of true national marriage equality is rising like a resurgent tide.

New Romulus is self-explanatory

Thanks, Nick!

Here's a couple quick thoughts:

Starbase Freedom or Independence - LGBTA Community from oppression, Romulan Republic from the RSE/Tal Shiar

Starbase Visibility - Increased awareness of the LGBTA community world-wide, participation by the Rom Repub in Galactic affairs (as opposed to the more covert RSE)

Just my initial thoughts! Can't wait to see all the suggestions!!

[Legion] Starbase Name Suggestions

September 29 2013
Currently, the Stonewall Legion Starbase is still unnamed and I'd like to get it named, so lets get started!

We currently have a sort of theme going with Starbase names: Stonewall Fleet is Starbase Diversity, Deep Space Stonewall is Starbase Equality, and House of Nagh reD is Starbase Strength.

Each name embodies not only an aspect of the glbta community, but the faction it represents.

I'd like to ask you all for some suggestions. I'd like us to stick with the theme we have going so far, so reply below with some ideas. What aspect of the Romulan faction defines both them and us well?

In a week, I'll take the best options and post them as a poll for us all to vote on! To keep it like sane, lets stick to one suggestion per person please!

After Barilla's CEO made his not so nice comments, their main competitor, Bertoli, released the following image on social media sites:

with the captions: "Pasta und Liebe für alle!" (Pasta and love for all).

And the following statement:
We just wanted to spread the news that Bertolli welcomes everyone, especially those with an empty stomach.

The actually had a commercial with a gay couple:

The following tags have no closing tag: spoiler
Lifetime has a neat little scorecard feature for this show: http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-12/scorecard. It gives you options to filter by wins, out, as well as top and bottom 3. You do need to take it with a grain of salt because of the show's gimmicky shenanigans. For example, the episode where the bottom three were given a second chance only credits Dom as a Win, even though she was bottom three for the main competition that week. (Sorry, I'm a little bit of a data nerd, and I love chart, graphs and that sort of thing. >.

Hey Elquin, first I think it's awesome that anet reached out to the guild :) I've been thinking about feedback, so here's my two cents about the new bloodlust change:

I saw the dev video preview of the borderlands bloodlust and their rationale for why you don't get any rewards for capping ruins is that the bloodlust buff is enough of a reward in and of itself. I think this is flawed for many reasons, most importantly, there is no incentive on an individual level. The way I see it, why would you spend a few minutes sitting in colored squares when you could be running around with everyone else capping towers or keeps and killing enemy zergs, getting loot, gold, wvw xp, karma and all that awesome stuff that makes WvW so much fun for a lot of people? The buff is nice and all but on that individual level, what's the point?

Edit: On second thought, I feel that there should be some reward just for completing the meta event for holding 3 ruins for two minutes and getting borderlands bloodlust, as long as you participated by capturing at least 1 point. (At first I thought it would be nice to get rewards for capping ruins, but people would just farm that.) So, you should be rewarded for being a part in acquiring that bonus to your world! Otherwise on an individual level what's the point?

Also it would be pretty awesome if they added new achievements specifically for capping borderlands ruins and acquiring bloodlust. I honestly think that it would bring a lot of positive attention to the new change with personal rewards and/or achievements, and I would actually be really excited and get out and take ruins myself. Because right now for me at least it's more rewarding to help the zerg cap something than run around the ruins.

That's all, thanks~

My Italian is vary rusty, but my guess is our friends at the Guardian are using something like google translate which doesn't always get the true meaning. We could have a Mokusatsu thing going on here
