I think it is a neat concept in theory.

The thing that I don't like about the idea of the Borg being a playable faction is that they are supposed to work as a whole collectively. When you add hundreds of individual people, playing Borg they way they individually want to play...you don't have The Collective anymore.

If anything, the Borg should be left as an NPC bad guy...there are plenty of other Trek baddies to choose from.

Sheldon's the very picture of asexuality. Or at least he was before Blossom showed up in the season finale.

You really had a crush on Andrew from Buffy? Wow. :)

They never really came out (ahem) and said he was gay on that show, but the way the character was played, it was strongly implied. Wonder what's he's been up to lately. IMDB here I come.

An amazing amount of time must have gone into making that thread. What do y'all think?

The date on it says May 2010.

I just re subbed to check out GR. I'm mostly on Guardian, but have a few other toons scattered on other servers. ATM I'm playing a new 2 gun blaster named Amasiara. I'm Margali on the global channels. I joined Stonewall channel last night but didn't see anyone else there.

I'm so tempted to resub to try out the new GR release.

So very tempted.

But as an obsessive compulsive type, I MUST level my Lib borg, Trillian. xD

Except that now that as I was downloading the new update for STO, my computer BSOD'd (I hate this pile of crap) and now STO crashes on start up.

Worse, the update for CoH is taking longer than the re-download of STO. :(

Played around with GR last night. A little disappointed that the heavy clockwork parts (like the builder / construction Clockworks) are not included in the costume creator, but I was still able to make something that reminded me of the original Borg from Rifts.

Mostly. Except for the head. And the back. :3

Out of curiosity, how old is this PDF? While California has banned gay marriage, our civil unions grant almost all the state benefits that marriage does. I'm surprised California doesn't have a blue dot on the US map.

Sunday is the best for me. I can do evenings on Monday and Wednesday as well.

Oh wow, I completely forgot that happened! I'm glad this got posted or else I would have never known which logo won.

Halish, I freaking LOVE your logo. Not only does it maintain as much as possible from your original design for the site, but it just looks simple and amazing. Plus it isn't awash in garish pink, but instead cool blues and blacks!

You see that big see of red in the Middle East and North Africa?

If you zoom right in where you can see Egypt and Saudi Arabia, there's a tiny tiny little country called Israel. Which is coloured in a lovely shade of blue!

This is where I live, and despite many many issues here, at least it's on it's way to getting something right.

Our government sucks! BUT, our supreme court doesn't! The supreme court constantly and consistently votes in favour of LGBT rights, including the recognition of same-sex marriage from abroad. Unfortunately the minority of religious members of parliament hold an disproportional amount of power in government at the moment and so pro-LGBT legislation is probably unlikely for the time being.

BUT Israel was one of the earliest countries to adopt universal employment rights and anti-discrimination laws which include LGBT people.

I think it's good to remember these things!

Rant over :D

P.S I think this is an old map, so some things have changed including Argentina having passed laws for same-sex marriage...

Wow. Was surprised (good and bad) about a few of those. T4P!

Congratulations to all involved and the creativity we saw! Congrats to Halish for our awesome, new, in game logo!!!
