Well, if we're gonna do a video, we'll need one of those snazzy logos. So, I mocked one up. :kiss:

I purchased my first gaming mouse before the last stress test. It is a logitech G300 and i love it. It has 9 buttons, and works for both right and left handers. The reason it works so well for me, however, is because of my claw grip. It fits my hand perfectly. But all-in-all, yes, i think having those extra buttons is a large advantage ;)

*edit*
I set it to glow a light purple so i feel more mesmer-y :D

I'm thinking about purchasing a gaming mouse for use in GW2. Has anyone had good/bad experiences with any particular device? Would a gaming mouse be a worthwhile investment for GW2?

Thanks!

I don't know about the alliance name XD but I definitely vote for Thrumdi's alliance video idea. Yes, just yes! XD

The Mattacini

During the 1950s, it would have been dangerous and illegal to register any kind of pro-gay organization. The founders of the first major gay rights groups had to protect themselves by using code.

The small group of gay men who created the Mattachine Society in 1951 drew on the Italian tradition of street comedy in which the jester-truthteller characters, the mattacini, revealed the flaws of pompous characters representing societal norms.

this is interesting...thanks

Yeesh... I haven't played GW1 since playing GW2. It's... an adjustment. :laugh:

I'm going to bring aboard an ickle redshirt so that I can do some non-Q scenes with you guys while the captain is recuperating.

Name: David Benton
Species: Human
Rank: Ensign
Specialization: Security and conn officer (especially high marks in shuttle piloting), with some background in general tactical systems.

Additional Details: The Sally Ride is Benton's first assignment after graduating from the academy. He's green as can be, and still a little bit in awe of his responsibilities as a Starfleet officer. That said, a youthful fascination with combat-simulation games has given him exceptional reflexes and tactical thinking, and he's as handy with a phaser as he is with a responsive, small ship.

I haven't been able to leave that giant GW2 guide alone except to go to the beach today. >_O My brain, it is so stuffed with knowledge

Commander Seven of Eleven was trapped, unconscious in the science lab for the first few hours of the disaster that disabled the ship. After joining the acting Chief Medial Officer and Acting Captain in sickbay he asked for an examination by the Doctor. The Doctor found that some of his Borg nano-probes had been removed from his body while he had been unconscious. He also found that his cortical node had been tampered with and the past 48 hours of his short term memory had been erased.

Commander Seven of Eleven then returned to the Astrometrics lab to try and repair some of the damage done to the senors. The main EPS grid in the deflector control room had been completely destroyed. The Commander took an engineering team to the main deflector control room, where they were able to repair most of the damage. Once power had been restored to the system he ran a full system diagnostic. He is still waiting for that diagnostic sub-routine to complete so that he can determine how badly the system was damaged.

Name: Seven of Eleven (Sev); Secondary Adjunct of Tactical Cube 7357
Species: Human (Liberated Borg)
Rank: Commander
Specialization: Biology, Exobiology and Cybernetics

Additional Details: Seven of Eleven was assimilated at the battle of Wolf 359. When he was assimilated he had been used as a Biological Analysis drone. He was responsible for analyzing each new species the Borg encountered to determine if their biological distinctiveness was worth the interest of the Collective. Since his Liberation from the Hive mind Seven of Eleven has adapted quickly to life aboard a starship. He had served in Starfleet for 7 years before his assimilation. Because of his enhanced Borg abilities he is a valued asset to any ships Biology/Exobiology Department. His Borg implants also give him great expertise in Cybernetics.

I was actually hoping that the alliance system would be similar to the guild system, it would really allow guilds to keep an open line of communication with whoever they want: I.e. Synergy alliance would have it's own chat along with the lgbt alliance having it's own chance

I have started doing the quests for this before giving up due for the need for sleep and have only one comment.. I could have sworn there was a bit more room before those mobs collided :S Still they seem to have throw us a bone as we seem to be able to use all our heroes instead of the games own henchies. Quite fun actually but hope they dont send us in domain of anguish as i dont relish those titans now.

edit: @Thrumdi looks like you do it on one character as you need to get all rewards together on that one char to hand them in for the weapon.

I think working with the Synergy alliance would be a big plus for us, especially if they are inviting the other LGBT guilds. If the offer arises, being in a large alliance could only be beneficial. We would get the inside track on big WvW movements, but also be in easy contact with Gayme0n. I think it's great!

When the U.S.S. Sally Ride entered the Sol transwarp gate to begin her mission, there was an anomalous energy pattern from the ship's main deflector, and then a violent explosion. The ship was heavily damaged and thrown wildly off course, coming to rest at the far edge of KDF-controlled territory. In addition to massive casualties throughout the ship, Captain Walker suffered a severe spinal injury and fell unconscious. Rather than risk her recovery by attempting to revive her, medical stabilized her condition and put her into a medical regenerator. Specific command succession was unclear, given Walker's unusual habit of frequently shuffling the chain of command and the rampant casualties.

Medical scans of several of these casualties found near the epicenter of the damage were even more troubling. Bioscans revealed that the crewmen's internal anatomy conflicted with their apparent species. They all appeared to be Federated species, but below the skin, belonged to Klingon ally groups. Scans are ongoing on surviving crew for similar signs of surgical alteration, but this has placed additional strain on the already busy medical department.

The medical crew aren't the only ones working around the clock. Engineering has its hands full coping with the massive damage to the ship's systems. Their heroic efforts in the aftermath of the disaster were barely able to restore minimal warp and deflector capability. The ship is currently limping toward the nearest system, a sparsely trafficked Klingon settlement, but the Sally Ride's armaments and defensive systems are still totally offline. The science department has done what it can to reduce power consumption and mask the ship's emissions, but her arrival was accompanied by a burst of exotic particles that won't go unnoticed for long.

OOC NOTES:
GREAT event, everybody! You surprised me with cool ideas several times, and I think the situation is shaping up into something really exciting. Some odds and ends:

• All players should report to me any attempts they make to repair the ship or do anything else to improve her chances of survival. Use in-game mail or PM me here on the site.
• We'll be doing a mini-event in a few days to mark the arrival in the nearby system, so keep an eye out for that announcement!
• Got something you'd like to report? Feel free to add an IC or OOC reply here to fill in the details of your character's experience at or since the event.
• If you missed the event, no problem. Get on the SFRoleplay channel and do some pick-up scenes with your crewmates -- they'll get you up to speed.

Thanks for that reminder. I'm actually thinking about either sleeping some the afternoon before so I can get up for a little while around midnight to start it up, or trying to either take the day off or get off early. We'll see.

Name:Vondra Kelsan
Species:Trill (unjoined)
Rank:Vice Admiral
Specialization:Xenogeology

Additional Details: Vondra's trill that refuses to be joined. She's a science officer captaining a cruiser-class. She's a bit of a puzzle, but she knows how to get things done. She graduated Starfleet Academy in 2405 and, after jumping around for a while, had a ship 4 years later. Now she just looks for the next point in her journey.

Absolutely great video that compiles some cool sites you may want to check out :)
