Soldiers of Stonewall will remain just in case we need to use it in the future in whatever capacity. This will be taken care of by the officers and you guys really don't need to worry about using up a character slot to save it :)

Thanks for the info, Intervlet...and the specific numbers, Van! I love the merge. :)

Now I guess the question is what happens with Soldiers of Stonewall? If everyone abandons the guild, does SoS just cease to exist? Is the name still there for us to use if we have the unfortunate circumstance of needing it in the future?

You could always keep a handful of toons in KoS to keep it active, think of it like a skeleton crew, that way if there's a need for a second guild ready made.


One issue I see with keeping the SoS guild is that it will require a dedicated character slot on that player's account. Four people would have to agree to that. Not a problem for me, I have a lowbie toon parked at the GTN keeping an eye on the market. I'd be happy to put him in the SoS guild if that's what leadership decides and needs.

I think this is a good idea. Should we switch them over as soon as we can or are we waiting for a bit?

Finally!! Good idea and long over due.

As of last nite KoS only had 312 members, down from 485. If you remove the folks who have not been on in over 60 days the number goes well below 275. So there will be no need to worry about out growing the cap.

If you move the few active members from SoS to KoS you still will not go over 300, again giving you enough wiggle room in KoS for growth.

Re: Fave novels? I'd love some recommendations!

I love A Burnt-Out Case by Graham Greene its not long but its the best book I read in high school.

From Amazon:
Querry, a world-famous architect, is the victim of an attack of indifference, no longer finding meaning in art or pleasure in life. Arriving anonymously at a Congo leper village, he loses himself in work for the lepers. As he helps the lepers, so he approaches a self-cure.

I use Lastpass free version on my pc and have been very happy with it. I don't have a smartphone so I can't say anything about that capability but if it goes along with the free version's capabilities (which I am sure it probably does) it should work well too.

I would recommend anyone get an authenticator if one is available for the game they play to protect their accounts from being hacked. While nothing is an absolute guarantee, it's another hoop would-be hackers have to jump through and most won't even try when they discover it's required. They'll just move on to easier prey which unfortunately many people have become.

Good questions QiqJoe! As I have had to add the majority of characters to the website roster as the guild rosters were updated I feel I can answer those questions. I can perform a search for character names and as long as they have already been added I will be able to find out the owner's forum name and quickly update that for anyone that may forget. Anytime you leave a guild and join another your information will have to be re-added to whatever database that guild uses even if that new guild is within the same organization. I will also have to go into each character's record and change the name of the guild they belong to but again that is not a problem in the least. ;) After the initial information changes that are required, it will be easier for me to make sure the roster information is up to date because I will no longer have to logout of one toon and into another toon in each respective guild to update information. Sometimes that can take a fairly extended amount of time depending on what else is going on with the server and I usually warn anyone I am dealing with that if it takes 2-3 minutes for me to "reappear" please don't worry. I haven't left or forgotten them.... :laugh:

After clearing the rosters of unregistered and/or inactive toons, we will currently have a much larger buffer before we will again hit the member limit set by the game. Originally, that wasn't the case and was what forced the drastic step of splitting the guild without giving the officers time to get member input. I also fervently hope that Bioware will figure out what a mistake they made by setting that limit at 500 to begin with and causing untold grief for all the large guilds in the game. Maybe this will be a "surprise" change as it hasn't been mentioned anywhere in their discussions of future updates. :( We can only hope....for a lot of things... :S

Thanks again for all your excellent and pertinent questions! :cheer:

My favorite author and I say this loosely is anything by Heinlein though his 50's/60's stuff is a bit superficial today with our technology but hey... so was the orginal star trek ... heinlein's later works like "Friday" I adore, written when he was like 80 or so; and was one of my coming out books I think ... and then anything with lazarrus long (the books are endless, ... "time enough for love", "the cat who walks through walls" so many to name) .. starship troopers the movie was nothing like the book, nor was puppet masters but some of his works. While I love "Friday" .. "I Will Fear No Evil" may be my favorite book by him also written much later in his life which will have gay and lesbian themes in it and done well I think for a writer of his generation . my copy is dog-eared and missing pages .. I need to get a kindle version of it if available lol.

For lesbian literature Chris Anne Wolfe rocks though she died very young but has a few books out there. Have not read her "Death Sweet Suitor Mine" she wrote as she died its too final for me but anythig else I give a thumbs up to .. Annabelle and I, Bitter Thorns (beauty and the beast retold) - huge thumbs up on that one, then the aggar books think 2 of each.

Jane Fletcher for also lesbian literature rocks in her warriors at think its westernfront series up to 4 books now. She has a more magical series as well like someting and the chalice think 3-4 books, but the warriors one I liked better lol!


I just got done reading "When women were warriors" books 1-3 on kindle) and it was a good read so another to think about though female in sexual content.

Anyway some more ideas for folks depending on what they want but don't discount a lesbian read if you are a guy or vice versa ... Robin Hobb has alot of innuedo in some of the prolly 12, 500+ page books she has done without being explicit especially "the fool's" character in the first series she wrote. its not really gay lit, but ... I felt some things when reading her stuff, and didnt want to put the book down I thnk I am 3 of her novels behind.

Oh and lets not forget "Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins which is a movie now .. there are 3 books and while not 'gay' in nature ... I love that it has a female protagoist through all 3 books. Not sure how this first person writiting will come across on big screne but i do plan to go see the first movie since I have now read all 3 books.

(edit "I will fear no evil" is on kindle and I just bought it so no more dog eared missing paged copy woohoo, off to read it again for the umpteenth time!)

I second the re-merge! It would be nice to see the Troopers and Smugglers who are online and the planets they are on.

Question for you, Zepari or other guild leadership. Is it feasible to merge everyone? Obviously it is since we're talking about it, but will it cause any sort of strain in doing so? Will we be flirting with the member limit? Will we have to re-enter our member note (not major, but people would easily forget)?

I had been thinking this was an in game bug and it ticked me off, I picked a certain eye color for my toon then suddenly they kept getting 'golden eyes'. Thanks to someone in vent today, I see it is a factor in show sith corruption .. this is an option under social and check it to be turned off so your eyes don't change color!.

I hope this helps others!
