Stonewall Gaming Alliance?

Tried to add character but just get the message "Please Wait" forever when I save it.

Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon because Shia Lebouf lived.

Steel Magnolias/Terms of Endearment/Evening Star - I love these movies!

Love Stonewall Union, but its a record company. I hate Stonewall Gaming Community we're more then that. Maybe Stonewall League or Stonewall Confederation. The Stonewall Hegemony has a nice ring to it.

What are the specs of your computer?

Video Card make & model?

Power Supply rating?

MB/Processor?

or

United Stonewall Families.

I do refer to us as the Stonewall Gaming Community. I like it and feel that the association of an acronym with the syfy channel shouldn't deter anyone from using it.

Of those three poll-choices i prefer 'Stonewall Network'. But when you do a google search, you find a small american software company. American companies like to sew, especially if someone else uses their name.

I like 'Stonewall Guilds' too. When you do a search for it on google, you find a link to the Stonewall Family. Their a guild and they are called Stonewall too. I remember a few people here or on the swtor chat asking if we where the same people as that guild. I don't think the Stonewall Family will like it very much if we call ourselfs 'Stonewall Guilds'.

As for the third option, sorry don't like it very much. But a google search doesn't turn anything up, so it is the best of those three.

Another suggestion: Stonewall gamers

I guess we all do, but 'the stonewall suckers' doesn't work either ;)

I'd also like to suggest we step away from mentioning "gaming" in the title. I don't think we are just a gaming community at the moment, we have people discussing TV shows, movies, art and all hosts of stuff they find on the internet.

I assume that all our members are playing SWTOR or STO. I don't know what future plans you guys have, but currently we are a scifi mmorpg community. What kind of expansions are you considering? More importantly what kind of things do you consider as never going to be something you allow under the flag of this community. For instance if a few people here asked to start a real life roleplaying group using the name of this community, would you go along with it? If a few people here asked to start a dating service using the name of this community, would you go along with it?

"NicholasJohn Network" (I like that, lol) and this would allow us a certain amount of freedom when it comes to create future homes in other games.

Lords of Stonewall
Proudly part of the NicolasJohn Network

Sounds nice too.

I don't really have a suggestion (because I suck) but I'd like to encourage some creative thinking.

So far we have always referred to ourself's as "Stonewall" because as Nick said "Stonewall" is the comment name that binds the current two guilds and holds a certain amount of identity to us because of the "Stonewall Riots".

But we are talking about the name for our entire community and I think we could branch out further than that in terms of suggestions. There's no reason why Stonewall Fleet and Knights of Stonewall can't be offshoots of the "NicholasJohn Network" (I like that, lol) and this would allow us a certain amount of freedom when it comes to create future homes in other games.

I'd also like to suggest we step away from mentioning "gaming" in the title. I don't think we are just a gaming community at the moment, we have people discussing TV shows, movies, art and all hosts of stuff they find on the internet. Who knows what we'll be doing in another 10 years (hopefully we'll be Facebook size and we all will have produced a movie about how Nick stole the Stonewall idea from us :p).

Just some thoughts anyway :)

One idea would be to create another channel named like Stonewallstory... then people can talk freely in there about the storyline with each other and those who wish to avoid it then can stay out of that channel instead of avoiding the guild chat lol.

Oooh, I like this idea! Or just name it Stonewall Spoilers, so no one gets confused and think "ooooh, I like stories."
/reads stories
"NOOOOOO!"

For well over a year, we've been working towards building a multi-guild community from changing our policies and procedures to include more than one guild to opening up new officer positions and discussing how the two guilds interrelate to one another.

I'll be honest and say it's been difficult.

Through out the entire time though, many of us that have debate the inner-workings of our organizational structure have clumsily stumbled over what to call ourselves. We've somewhat defaulted to referring to everything as a collective "Stonewall" as it is the name that's shared among our parts, but that alone does not do well to define us. I tried out "Stonewall Guilds", but that didn't work right. For a time, I was partial to "The Stonewall Network", but that didn't feel right either. Some (*stares at Zepari*) likes "Stonewall Gaming Community", but we aren't the SGC!

Now that things are getting underway with Knights of Stonewall and things are livening up with Stonewall Fleet, I felt it was time to open this up to the entire community and ask for suggestions and what you felt our name should be. I've created a poll at the top of this post including the choices I've mentioned above and I'll add in any more suggestions that come along.

I have a few things I want you to consider when you're coming up with a suggestion:

Availability | Some names, like for instance Stonewall, are incredibly popular and are already used by other organizations or companies. This makes things like having a high search rating or even getting a domain very difficult. Think about how common the name is when picking one out.

Structure | This name will not define Stonewall Fleet or Knights of Stonewall, instead it will define the organization that unites the both of us. Knights of Stonewall isn't a branch of Stonewall Fleet, instead they are both strong self standing organizations that are united by a common bond. Keep that in mind.

Culture | Naming us after the Stonewall Riots has given us a very specific culture. That small influence of our name has tied us to the struggle and triumph, to the history and vibrance of our community and has greatly affected how we've evolved over time. This new name will do so as well.

Feel free to reply with your own suggestions below, discuss the suggestions so far and vote above. Be sure to check back often and see what new options there are. You can revise your vote at anytime. This is a totally open discussion so if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please post those too!

You're not being nosey, I've just spent the last couple days pouring over forums and help sites with no luck. The few 'fixes' seem to only work for a couple people. And most of them require you to over clock various things and typically not helping. At this point im just tired of the issue and missing my star wars.

It's a nvlddmkm issue where the "driver stops responding". Only swept triggers it for me. Its happening all over the board for people regardless of build

Conversely the other day I posted the question "So, I'm a little confused about the Emperor's role in the timeline" (being a level 10 Jedi Knight and he's been mentioned in a few quests so far) and someone immediately shouted in guildchat "NO SPOILERS!!!"

So... how does one go about asking a question without having everyone assume it's a spoiler, when I have no way of knowing if it's a spoiler or not?

Yeah I've seen a few folks freak and type NO SPOILERS in guild chat when anyone asks a question. Here is another example of opinion and what one peson sees as something (fillin the blank) and another person doesnt'.

The best advice I could give is to ask the question out loud to yourself a couple of times and then if it sounds non-spoiling go ahead and post in guild chat or do what I did for my smuggler, come to the boards and post for help. I made it very clear in my post that spoilers are going to happen in this post and folks should not read it if they are going to get upset.

One idea would be to create another channel named like Stonewallstory... then people can talk freely in there about the storyline with each other and those who wish to avoid it then can stay out of that channel instead of avoiding the guild chat lol.

I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope you get to make it back soon. Keep up with the forum so we can see you around here.

And maybe I'm being too nosey, but I know that amongst all the guild/fleet people here, we've had a lot of technical issues. If it's something you could share, someone on here might have some insight or some work-arounds.

May the force be with you.

Awww!

Hope to see you back in the game soon for some more guild rambling ;)

I went out & picked up a G510 today. The key-press is a little more dough-like (not sure how to describe it better) than my Razer keyboard (but it's other issue was getting on my nerves).

Once macros are released in SWTOR I'll certainly be taking advantage of at least some of the G-buttons!

I have to say, one thing I *do* like in a keyboard is a physical button for sound! My Razer had soft-buttons, which I simply didn't care for. The G510 has as scroll-wheel for sound, and a button for mute. MUCH better! :)

Just thought I'd toss this on here to let people know that I (Alrath and Soulcatcher in the guild) am unable to play due to a technical issue that has continued to go unresolved (there are a lot of others experiencing this issue so hopefully a fix will come soonish?). Until such a time as things are repaired I can't safely log into SWTOR without running the risk of crashing my computer within a couple minutes. While I haven't been around long enough to be 'close' to many people, I do feel like I know some people (through groups and my own annoying babbling in guild chat xD) so I wanted to post something letting everyone know why I've vanished. I guess I go back to WoW while hoping this gets resolved....


But I miss my ship and healy laser D:

Episode 479 - Voyager - "Projections" - 09/11/1995

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=4203

The Doctor becomes delusional after an accident, causing him to believe that he is a flesh-and-blood person and his time on USS Voyager is a holodeck program.

Enjoy!

I am using the Logitech G510 keyboard and the G9 mouse.

I like the keyboard overall, but a really nice feature is the LCD screen built into the keyboard. I can see the name of who is talking in a room of 10+ people on the keyboards LCD screen. There is no SW:TOR game settings but I like the feature in WOW where I could see my stats on the screen.

Love the Logitech G9 because it just fits my hand nicely.

I have heard good things about the Crucial keyboards though!
