Although we might not be able to manage an alliance in game right away - it can always be managed by other means.

Stitch posted the "Server Communities" link last week that gives an example of one community that's going to create an in game guild to serve as an alliance until the real thing comes out.

I like both Sacred Band and The Mattacini. I was in a DAoC guild called Sacred Band - but oddly enough if was pretty straight.

The difficulty for me is that I have several friends in a guild on Jade Quarry. I'm a bit torn because I want to be with you guys, but also want to play with them. Unfortunately, it seems I will have to create 2 toons on separate servers since the "guesting option" won't be available right away.

I like the Sacred Band, but have devs confirmed alliances will be a thing? I haven't heard anything about it, and in fact vaguely remember them saying they wouldn't be included at launch.

Well, the thread at Guru on CD was shut down after being hijacked by one vociferous moron. I'm still mystified these people exist in 2012. I guess they're kept mothballed in a basement somewhere.

One good thing to come of it though was a member of the Synergy Alliance (the remaining big 500+ alliance on CD) stepped in to defend us. So, it looks like we will have many allies on the server.

This should make WvW a blast.

I was posting on that thread, a large amount of people were defending us, and those who attacked us in the beginning actually saw our side of things (except one hypocrite). It was a good discussion, and should not have been declared a "Flame War" and shut down.

I think we should wait to form alliances until we know the structure of other guilds a little bit better. If it so happens that we do want to join Gayme0n and RoughTrade, then we can join their alliance after a while. However, if we find that we are super compatible with another guild that is more than okay with our LGBT friendly-ness(?) then maybe that is the guild for us. What i am saying is that we don't want to find ourselves in an uncomfortable alliance that we don't honestly enjoy. just food for thought :D!

Gayme0n, RT/Taint, Stonewall Vanguard are going to be a nice alliance by themselves! Add in some form of communication/informal alliance, or even an alliance possibly, with Synergy we will be a tough server to beat!

LGBT people are survivors! We got the focus to win! Let's do it!

I did a little checking and found that The Prismatic Order will also be on Crystal Desert

already posted a few, but i thought i'd give it one more shot.

wish the red background was more red. to represent the blood shed by those who have fought for our rights along the way, and to remember those persecuted.

the simple white bird, encompassing all colors of the rainbow, flying free and elegant, high above the bloodshed, our spirit that will never be broken,

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.

While its a good suggestion, I will tell you that the greeks culture during that time was far different than today.


For one, homosexuality was only widely accepted between an older male and a pubescent boy.


In other words to name yourself after it would kind of make us look like pedophiles, granted the general population has no idea about that... but it won't take long if we ever got large for people to start making fun of us.

Personally I think the alliance should be named Stonewall, because it represents the oppression between the law and discrimination of gays. It was a very tough battle at the start, and without the stonewall riots we would not be as far today as we are now.

My main is going to be a Sylvari Ele, but my second I think is going to be a Norn Warrior, and I generally split time between chars pretty evenly (maybe TOO evenly, haha).

Arenanet announced more info on launch, a few quotes:

At launch, players will be able to transfer between worlds freely. However, once server populations have largely settled and stabilized, world transfers will be restricted to once a week and cost a variable amount of gems based on the population of the world being transferred to.

In time, we’ll also introduce free “guesting,” which will allow players to visit other worlds as guests as long as they have friends on those worlds. This feature will be free, but guest players will not be able to enter World vs. World, and the Power of the Mists bonuses from their home world will continue to apply to their characters.

Episode 701 - Enterprise - "Harbinger" - 02/11/2004

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=5315

Enterprise encounters the Sphere Builders for the first time. T'Pol experiences unexpected emotions and initiates a relationship with Trip. Malcolm and Major Hayes come to terms with their differences.

Enjoy!

Yeah that's what I tried to explain in the original post (but I suck).

Voting for a server choice counts as a "Yes" vote so, at this moment, "Yes" beats "No" 14-7. With Ferguson's Crossing being the server of choice with 7 votes.

I'll leave it open until later tonight and confirm the decision.

I will have 2 mains that I will play evenly.

... Time is against us and I have a feeling that "yes" would beat "no" if I made a simple poll. So instead I have made a server choice with an option for "none".

Based on his original post - you can vote No or you can vote Yes and suggest a server. If No is the verdict then we're done. If Yes is the verdict - then the guild has additional consensus on which servers to consider.

That's how I read it.

Quote by Thrumdi

Isn't there a flaw in this poll, in that the pro-backup vote is split among candidates, and no-backup vote just has one choice?

That is a very good point, a simple "yes" or "no" poll would have probably been more efficient. We can simply just take "no" versus the rest, though :) Same results.

This is one big 'ol guide! Videos and text..

PS - I don't *think* you have to be an enjin.com member to view this..

That's really good news! I have a feeling that a lot of hangers-on will follow them there as well.
