I LOVED Reflection Day last year, and I'm super excited for it again this year! Unfortunately, I'm working throughout the weekend, but I'm almost considering asking for a day off to join you all!

Gareth, you and your department's events are always so awesome - can't wait to partake in some of the fun!

Hey Gareth! It is always very funny what you come up with. Your awareness is great, and I think I can offer a theory for your perception.

Indeed there is a little increase in the use of confirmation words like "so" or "thus" in the last ten years or so. As I am a media business manager, I noticed that news and advertisements changed in the last few years, and I think it comes with a phenomenon called "negativity bias". Which means, in short, that news and media prefer bad news over good ones, because the audiance reacts more to them than otherwise. IMO that process speeded up since 9.11.

If you want to get deeper into this topic, here is a link:
Psychology: Why bad news dominate the headlines (from BBC)
Please note how often the author starts his sentences with "so" to make a conclusion. (lol)

I was trying to play a two player game with one player, simultaneously, it is a fair bit trickier to get the hang of not onky up and down, but rotation and... For lack of a better term, swinging.

Add that to simultaneous self two player and it is not the easiest to wrangle.

Besides, it is a more, short, slightly humorous video because of the nature of it.

R E F L E C T I O N - D A Y - 2

Greetings Stonewall Empire mates, One year ago today we announced a breach in our universe, a Vortex that enveloped Stonewall fleet for a day.
We became our mirror universe selves for one day.. our way of playing became affected, we were defiantly not ourselves!

Do you remember??

a year later.. its happening once again.. ..





-------------------------
SAT 3rd & SUN 4th SEPTEMBER
---------------------------
ALL DAY FROM - 3PM BST / 10AM EDT
--------------------


Prepare yourselves Stonewall Empire for 2 days full of PVEs/PVPs and competitions, with chances of earning more Stonewall Credits.





The Reflection day 2 event is all about doing something different for 2 days, Change up your ship, your weapons, your style.
To take part in the event you will need to choose a Mirror ship, or an easy obtainable fraction ship that you'd never think of using, like the APU cruiser.. or the Malon battle cruiser.
a full list of Mirror ships can be found HERE

We encourage you to build up your mirror ships, in a standard that you never normally would..
E.g.. using different weapon types that you never normally use,
Use Engineering based consoles more than you use, Make a tank build, Make a cannon build.. or a torp boat.


The day is about having fun, trying something different for a change.

But this year we have a theme.. Pirates & Bounty hunters.
Stonewall Empire has been contracted by our Armada Fleets to supply them with much needed aid...
In order to obtain what they have requested.. we will need to battle raid & pillage in space and on ground.
They will send ships to help us on these runs.

Any loot that you come across during our battles on this weekend.. we must "NEED" EVERYTHING. (Normally during fleet pve runs its advised to choose "Greed" but we are playing differently for this weekend)

After several runs, we will sell our loot.. and with the EC, we will purchase the goods needed by our fellow Armada fleets!

From Doffs to Battery's to Dilithium our goal is to fill the Armada Fleets up
(Fleet credits will not count as they will be blocked Temporally)




Whats needed to have fun with the Stonewall empire and its Armada mates?

A Ship that youd never think of flying

-Mirror Ships
-Apu Chuiser
-Malon Battle ship
-Kazon Raider
-Nihydron Destroyer


Anything you think would fit a Space Pirate or Bounty hunter.
(If you are finding getting hold of a mirror ship hard, please contact me, I may be able to help you, or use some of your SWCs in the store)

A free Ship slot to plop your chosen Pirate/BH ship in

LOTS of inventory space to collect your loot

Different Weapon types youd never dream of using
(its only for 2 days so you dont have to go wild buying the best)

Ability to use your imagination: Are you going to be a crazy Pirate who insist's on just using Turrets for constant damage... or a Bounty Hunter.. who wants quick damage with a torp boat... what will you be for the weekend??

a Sense of Excitement and Fun!

(Please note that majority of our members played in FED, ROM/FED ships last year, and its advised that you would like to think about using one of your FED toons this year who are LVL 50+ and over.. to avoid disappointment in getting into queues) if your not yet lvl 50, dont fear we can run a few Fleet alerts and other things with you!

I think I might have come across that on Youtube as well.

There's also this one that I put together a week or two ago. You can also download it for your Android phone.

[Controversial Pet Peeve] So.. i made a new thread

August 25 2016
For me, and I have found myself using So often to start sentences, I caught on to it working with folks from India. They tend to use it a lot, like A LOT. So I have picked it up. I try not to use it but it comes out more often than not.

So, in conclusion, So is used a lot.

Ah oke.
It looks kind of redundant to me. In Dutch, the comma and "and" both mean the same thing in a list, namely that the list is continuing.

For us, the Oxford comma comes across as:
I like to thank my parents and Han Solo and and Julian Bashir. (Notice the double "and" before Julian Bashir)

The fact that we use commas is to avoid a constant repeat of "and". We do use "and", but right before the last item, as an indication that the list is coming to an end.

But that is how I experience the Oxford comma and is probably why I never really gave it much thought. I don't know if that is the same for other people though.

My biggest pet peeve is nonuse of the oxford comma...


I have heard of the Oxford comma, but I have no idea what it is or when it is supposed to be used. Could someone explain please?


The comma before and when making a list.
I like the thank my parents, Han Solo, and Julian Basher. Oxford comma

I like to thank my parents, Han Solo and Julian Basher no comma.

The comma befor and makes a clearer, and cleaner sentace.

Hmm could introduce a question, and there's nothing like ending an argument with "So there!"
