I for one cant wait for this to come out, ive been part of the modding and BATting community for a long time and an admin for a sc4 fnsite for almost 5 years.

After "simcity socities" i almost lost faith that we'd see a proper sequel to the game. Good to be wrong!

FYI, I've posted the Guild pics at the end of this month's "State of the Guild" update. It's stickied at the top of this forum. Thanks again to everyone who joined in! The next event will be at the beginning of April! see you all there.

I really have no right to comment on Rick Santorum as I don't live in the US, and can only watch in horror as this idiot gets closer to the White House, but...

I think that as a public figure, Rick Santorum is not being bullied, he is being challenged in the same forum he uses to sway public opinion in his favour. I think the whole "santorum" redifinition was a little childish, but it's success helped show all those kids in the US who have been upset by his words and the resultant "gay-bashing" that his opinions are not the most popular ones and that there is plenty of support out there for them.

Let's not forget that words can be just as harmful a sticks and stones, but also remember that he threw the first stone.

OMG, I didn't think I'd cut anyone out of the picture. What time were you on and I'll go back and see if I can find a screenshot with you in it Van?

P.S. the Soldiers of Stonewall guild is still the active guild for all Trooper and Smuggler characters until we are given a good reason by Bioware for remerging the guilds. We also need to ensure we have the capacity in KoS as well. My comment on the Crafting benefits for two guilds is that we can have rare gear in each bank that is specific to the classes that use that bank.

Episode 550 - Voyager - "Unforgettable" - 04/22/1998

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=4422

An alien female from a cloaked ship asks for Chakotay by name and requests asylum on Voyager from her people.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately the forces of evil at work will not abide by that same rule. They have waged an all out war on us, our lives, our families, and or freedoms. We CAN NOT just sit back and turn the other cheek. I agree with you 99% of the time; "kill them with kindness" has always been a life motto of mine. But I do not think that is enough in this circumstance. I want to be able to tell my children in 20 years, that this was a tough time in our lives, but we were victorious because we dint give up, we did not surrender, we did not hide. We fought for what was right and we won. Now don't misconstrue this and violence, because I wholly oppose that tactic as well. We must make ourselves heard, and let everyone know what we will not keep quiet. This IS that final leg of the civil rights movement. We have won so many battles in this march towards freedom. We cant let things like this deter us from the ultimate goal of equal right for everyone under the law. The tactics of Mr. Savage may be distasteful, but they are effective.

I've fought my own bullies and other peoples bullies with both words and my fist. I do see that Santorum is our enemy but I also believe in Dr. King's words "Loving Your Enemies." It's so basic to me because it is a part of my basic philosophical and theological orientation—the whole idea of love, the whole philosophy of love. In the fifth chapter of the gospel as recorded by Saint Matthew, we read these very arresting words flowing from the lips of our Lord and Master: "Ye have heard that it has been said, 'Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.' But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you;
that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven."
So this morning, as I look into your eyes, and into the eyes of all of my brothers in Alabama and all over America and over the world, I say to you, "I love you. I would rather die than hate you." And I'm foolish enough to believe that through the power of this love somewhere, men of the most recalcitrant bent will be transformed. And then we will be in God's kingdom. We will be able to matriculate into the university of eternal life because we had the power to love our enemies, to bless those persons that cursed us, to even decide to be good to those persons who hated us, and we even prayed for those persons who despitefully used us.

I am very excited for this. Just showed my partner who loves this game, never seen him so excited. Thank you Maxis

Bravo! Very well said, Nick! :)

YAY for a new SimCity! Boo that we have to wait until 2013 :(

I really can't believe you guys are defending Santorum. Let's make no mistake, this man is no friends to gays. He's quite the opposite.

He's made his entire political career into making us the enemy, into attacking us and trying to destroy us anyway he can. He constantly refers to us as pedophiles, polygamists, and refers to same-sex relationships as the same as bestiality. He's staked his presidential campaign not only on defining marriage as between one man and one woman but invalidating every marriage license granted legally to same sex couples. He doesn't just oppose the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, he wants to reinstate it and fire every glb person that's come out of the closet since it's removal.

Let's not be confused, if anyone's a bully here, it's Rick Santorum. And how do you stop a bully? You fight back.

Dan Savage started the campaign to define 'santorum' as it is back in 2003 after an interview with Associated Press Reporter Lara Jordan in which Santorum refered to the Roman Catholic sex abuse scandal as a "basic homosexual relationship". He went on to comment on Lawernce v. Texas in which he stated "the right to privacy doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution" and "sodomy laws properly exist to prevent acts which undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family." When asked if gay people should have sex he stated:

In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality.

As well,

If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.

This man does not deserve our respect or support. He is the enemy.

How on earth can Fringe still be on the air but this gets cancelled? Bleh. I'm really disappointed now.

Because fringe is aimed at... A larger, lower, more common denominator than Terra Nova. I used to like fringe quite a lot, but the plots became too transparent and the characters too inconsistent within themselves, so I dropped it like a bad habit.

Very nice! I can't wait. They should give it away for free after the travesty that was SimCity Societies.

Nooooooooooo!! I love this show! It was sooo good without all that crap with constant hang overs, plot points that were never resolved and storylines that actually went somewhere. Why does all the good scifi get cancelled? How on earth can Fringe still be on the air but this gets cancelled? Bleh. I'm really disappointed now.

Thats good news. I know it's very hard to remove someone from the guild. Every guild has to at some point to make room for active members. Hopefully at some point we can get rid of the KoS chat channel.

Good plan to use SoS as the crafting guild bank. I know it's not set in stone but once KoS is cleared out of stale toons SoS would be the perfect crafting guild bank.

Aw, looks like I was cut out of the guild picture. anyways it was fun and glad so many showed up.

Janeway undertakes the Omega Directive, an order to destroy the Omega molecules, even if it means violating the Prime Directive.

Enjoy!
