So looking forward to Quark. I wish they'd open up Ferenginar and turn it into a massive ground market zone.

New Expansion: Victor is Life
Greetings Fleetie Darlings!
Cryptic dropped some very exciting news this morning about the next new expansion to STO, Victory is Life!
http://www.stonewallgaming.net/photos/124384
This expansion centers around the new brewing conflict between the Alliance and the Hur'q with the involvement of the Dominion. It also seems that it will be taking place mostly in the Gamma Quadrant. They've announced that 10 actors from DS9 will be reprising their roles for this expansion and have announced the first four:
Nana Visitor: Kira Nerys
Odo: Rene Auberjenois
Martok: JG Hertzler
Quark: Armin Shimmerman
There will also be a new playable faction: The Jem'Hadar!

I played this many years ago. Probably around 2005 I think. I'm surprised that it's still around.

All in the Eurovision Song Contest circles, as the name states, around the songs. Everything else might be important, but the songs are essential. The Contest was started with the intention to unite Europe with the means of a language that we all speak: music. That's why the most important part of the contest are the songs and their composers and writers, then the performers and musicians, and last but not least the show around it.
Every participating nation in the contest has different methods of choosing a song that should represent their country. Some are chosen by a jury of some kind, others are determined by a competition like the Sanremo-Festival in Italy or the Melodifestivalen in Sweden. However, at a given date end of March, the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) closes the application, and the participants are raffled into two semi-finals. Only the so-called Big Five (that are the countries which finance the contest: Spain, Italy, Germany, France, United Kingdom) and the host country will have a guaranteed ticket for the grand final. In 2018 there are 43 countries competing.
For a full list please take a look here: Wikipedia ESC 2018
In the Yourovision Event we will listen to the songs together. We've decided to stream them via Youtube because not all of our fleetmembers have a discord account. While we listen to the songs we will provide you with additional informations about the song entries, their composers and interpreters, the countries they represent and other interessing facts via our ingame chat channel.
If you want to listen and watch the songs in the meantime please open these links:
All Eurovision Song Contest fans out there know, when it comes to how-to-win-the-contest, one important component is the style. You can break the rules of fashion and your chance to win shall grow. Costumes make up much of the unforgettable impression you get from a performance, as the swedish winner ABBA showed us with their victory in 1974. Also, costume changes live on stage can help too, as introduced by the british winner Buck Fizz in 1981. To honor and enjoy the eye candy factor of Eurovision, we will do fashion contests as part of our event.
Please look here for categories and voting rules: Yourovision Fashion Contest.
There are so many facts and useless knowledge around the ESC, it's almost like Star Trek Canon! First we have the rules, for example since 1957 every Eurovision Songs can only have a maximum duration of three minutes. The stage crew can consist of up to six artists who are at least 16 years old doing - anything, like ice-skating for example, but no animals. And, ehem, theoretically, songs with a political message are not allowed to enter the contest at all. Then we have the stars - gorgeous icons and divas like Conchita Wurst, Celine Dion, Johnny Logan and Patricia Kaas and so many more.
Get a glimpse of it all in our Eurovision Star Quiz, in which we try to present some interesting facts around the love in the stars. And don't be shy to take part in it, as it will be a multiple choice quiz! And there are Prizes to win:
First place:
2 Stonewall Credits, 1 lockbox key, and an unlock code for a Scorpion fighter!
Second place:
1 Stonewall Credit, 1 lockbox key, and a mystery item box!
Third place:
1 Stonewall Credit and a mystery item box!
Stonewall Credits are redeemable at the Stonewall Credit Store for in-game and out of game prizes.
Do you remember the times back in the fifties and sixties, when the contestants in the 'Grand Prix de la Chanson' where just standing around while singing their song? Nowadays most singers and artists give their best in impressing the audience with their moves, like Ruslana did in 2004 with her winning song 'Wild Dances'. We will try to do the same, as we want to do some silly and fancy group dances with you!
Please look here for an instructional video and additional information: Silly Group Dances
In the Eurovision Song Contest there is no recipe on how to win the contest. There are some switches that you can turn on to improve your chances, as the famous swedish host Petra Mede and the swedish winner Måns Zelmerlöw stated in their great performance about how to win the ESC:
Love, Love, Peace, Peace.
But you never know and the contest also has a history of surprise winners that nobody expected, like Salvador Sobral last year. That's why we will do a heavy betting, in which you can win fantastic prizes (that means a lot of EC) with your bets on the winners and losers. Please look here for additional information and rules: Yourovision Heavy Betting Game.
There are many many different songs in the Eurovision Song Contest. Not all of them are to be liked, and not all of them are good either. But some of them are rather special, and many are really great stunning masterpieces. What do you like? What do you dislike? We will do a great poll amongst our fleet in a seperate forum thread, so you have the chance to express your personal favorites of this years contest. We will also calculate all our votes up and this will give us the results of the Stonewall Jury!
There will be a small participation reward for telling the community your thoughts.
Please look here: If Stonewall was a country...
Meanwhile, have fun, please be patient and enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest while you wait for (y)our #yourovision.

Stonewall Yourovision 2018
The Eurovision Song Contest is the ultimate and greatest number one entertainment show-event on the planet earth. Every year since 1956 a growing number of countries choose one song to represent their country in an opulent state-of-the-art worldwide broadcasted television show. An international audience and professional juries from each participating country then select their winner in an exciting and thrilling voting procedure. The ESC reaches about double the audience as the superbowl, it is watched and enjoyed all over the world as the Eurovision Europe happily includes countries like Russia, Israel, Turkey and even Australia. There are many more countries like the United States and China staying awake the whole night or getting up very early to watch the show. The ESC makes people come together in the spirit of Love, Peace, Peace, Love and tricks in a hamsterwheel, old women baking bread or a man simply skating around. There are fireworks, costume changes and wild dances that are building the bridges between the individuality of the songs and the uniting of different people to celebrate diversity. That is the spirit we share in Star Trek as well as in the community that builds Stonewall.
That is why we decided to bring the three together in a modern fairytale under the same sky. Join us on May 11 for a virtual show of glamorous glitter, timeless trash, true fantasy and stunning vocal performances. We rendezvous on Risa and travel through the whole galaxy for events of fun and happiness. We show ourselves amazing costumes and dance in total synchronicity, if we feel the rhythm, and we share the knowledge of bringing the people together with the music they sing in the confluence of sound. So light your fire because we are one. Feel your heart beat and share the moment: #yourovision.
