Re: A reason to not see Enders Game or read the books.

July 15 2013

I've never read the books though I've always seen them in the SciFi section next to my beloved Star Trek and Star Wars genres. I doubt I'll pay to see it either and the Wired article was hilariously intelligent and just the right amount of snarky. OSC's response was hilariously stupid and sullen lol; "How dare you interfere with my efforts to be intolerant of your way of life by being intolerant of mine." That's how I read it anyway.

Re: Fleet Uniform

July 15 2013

There is a bug in the tailor (one of a few dozen, actually) that makes it so that, when a fleet inputs the settings for the"lower" (pants and skirts) of a fleet uniform, the settings do not save. When we open the tailor and load the fleet uniform, it goes to a default lower that is *not* part of the uniform. The only way we can get the pants/skirts that are officially part of the uniform is if we input them manually, and the only way we can do that reliable is if we have the specs written out somewhere.

Could DoctorDisaster (who designed it) or one of the fleet captains please write out the specs of the pants/skirts and save them to a place where we have easy access to them?

Thanks.

What names do you give your ships?

July 15 2013

On a similar topic to "Weird ship names," I want to also know what kind of names do you use for your starships?

For example, I myself name my FED ships after famous ships from movies and tv shows:

EXAMPLES:

My Prometheus-Class: "Outlaw Star" (named after the titled ship from the anime Outlaw Star.)

My Odyssey-tactical: "Axiom" (named after the Axiom from Wall-E.)

My Wells Temporal Science-ship: "Axalon" (The Maximal ship "Axalon" from Beast Wars.)

My regular Odyssey: "Proteus" (The Proteus ship from 1998's Lost In Space film.)

My Galaxy-X/Venture-Class: "Galactica" (Battlestar Galactica.)

My current ship of choice is my Mobius Temporal Destroyer: "Retrocausality" which is an original name. I based the name off "Causality," which was the fan-name for a temporal time ship on a star trek fan-series, believing the name to mean the opposite, and give the mirror-universe Mobius-Class the matto: "Screw the Space-Time Continuum! Let's blow shit up!" You get what I mean?

What names do you give your ships?

Stonewall Vanguard Music

July 15 2013

Hey guys. I've started playing music before and after missions in Ventrilo. If you are in Dwayna's Tavern or The Mists (WvW) you may mute the user "GW2 Audio" to disable the music or TeamSpeak feed for WvW.

I would like to take music requests from the players, so please submit some songs or artists you'd like me to include in my library.

General play time is Thursday and Saturday at 8PM EST until Guild missions and then a few hours after.

World vs World

July 15 2013

Crystal Desert is in a constant battle to protect their homelands and conquer far away places. Keeping up the fight is a team effort and requires the support of the warriors of Crystal Desert willing to fight for honor, glory and country!

Stonewall Vanguard is starting to muster up it's troops and enter the battle for Crystal Desert. Below you will find some information that should be useful for those new and old to the WvW scene within SWVG.

When:
Official WvW runs will take place on Sunday at 7PM EST. WvW is a daily activity and will be organized by the SWVG commander or individuals.

Organization:
SWVG will organize it's troops into teams with specific objectives. In most cases, we will ask those teams to stick together as 5 man groups. We may assign groups to take camps, to pressure forces on different maps or areas of a map, to join zergs during important captures, etc. Team leaders will be assigned for each group, whose job it is to call orders and targets. Team leaders and their followers will all follow the commands of our Master of War (WvW Commander). We will also work together with other guilds under the WvW collective of TDS.

Communication:
Communication is carried out through Ventrilo. Please ensure you are setup and ready by following these instructions: Vent Setup. You are not required to speak in vent, but should be able to listen to your team leader and commander. We will group into "The Mists (WvW)" when participating in WvW. During peak times, the user GW2 Audio will be available and stream the Crystal Desert TeamSpeak channel for important WvW information.

Tips and Guides:
If you are new to WvW or looking for some tools and information, please see below:

Crystal Desert Community - Please signup on the forums and read through guides regarding WvW or desired topic.
WvW Map - Real time maps of WvW. Includes ownership of map objectives, points, and RI time remaining.
Crystal Desert Teamspeak Address - ts.crystal-desert.com (Will be streamed into Vent during peak times. May use Teamspeak to listen in during off-times)

Also, depending on your ultimate goal, something called Phonegap may be a viable option. It lets you write apps in HTML/CSS/Javascript and compile to a multitude of platforms including iOS, Android and Windows Phone. The restriction about iOS however is that it must be compile on a Mac.

Some of the function calls can be tricky (such as getting a picture from the camera) But there are tutorials and examples out there that should help. If however your goal is to actually learn coding, this isn't the option for you.

Re: Need some Programming help

It really depends what you're trying to do.

When you say apps do you mean web-based apps? web-based for this website? Android apps? iOS apps? Windows apps?

If you want to try your hand at some coding there's a few tutorial websites out there. http://www.codecademy.com/learn is a good one with step-by-step "lessons".

Re: A reason to not see Enders Game or read the books.

I wasn't really impressed with Lion's gates rebuttal, if you can even call it that. It just basically said that we treat our homos with respect, so why are you all mad at us because we're trying to make money off this raging homophobe's book? It's the same story DC gave when it came out that Card was writing a superman story.

The fact still remains that ten percent of the money Card makes off this movie is going back to the Mormon church who will still fight against our rights, not to mention whatever moneys he decides to donate directly to hate groups like NOM. Companies like lionsgate at DC need to do a bit of research on people before they get in bed with them. And if they still decide to support bigots, they need to live with the consequences.

Need some Programming help

July 13 2013

I'm trying to learn some programming and right now I'm at a very basic level. I have a few apps I would like to work on for Stonewall Vanguard and need some guidance as to how to go about completing these projects. If you're willing to give me a hand or point me in the right direction, please private message me so we can get in contact.

Thank you!

Just recently started watching this! I wouldn't call it my personal favorite, but now that I've seen the first few episodes I'll more than likely watch the rest :)

Re: Stephen Kings Under The Dome!

July 13 2013

See. I can see with a movie cutting things out and having your own ideas. But this was an epic book and this is a 13 or so episode TV series with a possible season 2. They could do so much and the first episode just felt flat. They changed too many things. Junior is effin hot though.

Re: Stephen Kings Under The Dome!

I only saw the first episode. I have 2 episodes waiting in my DVR. I don't know. The book was over a thousand pages long. They had so much material to work with. I just wasn't very happy with the first episode and the cheesy special effects with the cow and the plane. I was interested that they had a lesbian couple, one who is african american. I'll watch the episodes eventually. :-)

Seems Lionsgate, which I have liked a lot of their movies has responded with a rebuttal to Card but still does not encourage me to see the movie. There are a lot of other things I could support like I did through Kickstarter for BrideGroom and Harbinger. But also since I live in a state, the first in the south to have marriage rights voted by the people, believe that marriage rights are for everyone who have meaningful, committed relationships. Here is the link.

So thoughts? Feelings?

Though, its getting to the point where pretty much everyone has a dark secret.

That is small rural town as far as SK is concerned. Jaws makes people afraid of deep water and sharks,SK has convinced me I would never ever want to do more than visit Maine.

Im liking it, Dave read the story and knows whats going on, but I don't. I hope it stays this good the whole time.

The feel takes me back to "Golden Years".

Actually, I've been rewatching Farscape recently and was surprised to see our good sheriff playing the role of Liko.

OMG!
Is that the episode where he, or Zhaan, kills that two headed bird thing, while Crichton is busy fighting a wizard?

I've been watching random episodes (because the AV club have been doing really great Farscape reviews the past couple of months), but skipped that ep. Although, Defiance could definitely use some Farscape-esque zaniness.

Oh, and just a random Defiance thing I noticed the other day. Rynn is played by Tiio Horn, who also played Destiny in the compellingly awful Hemlock Grove. She was the best thing about that show, other than Landon Liboiron's bum. "Stoopid ass-birds!" :woohoo:

Natasha Lyonne and Laura Prepon are in this? :silly:
Such a strange cast.

Not sure if I can do another "women in prison" show.

In Australia we just had Wentworth, which turned out to be a pretty great remake of Prisoner/Cell Block H.

But this looks interesting. Love Kate Mulgrew, and loved Jenji Kohan's Weeds for a while there. Will have to track it down/wait for the DVDs.
