It was a really enjoyable read and quite a treat to get an exclusive chat with him! Great work on the interview and article! I'm glad that it's getting the broad attention that it deserves!

Cheers,

This is something I've always felt strongly about, so I'm super excited that it's being discussed! :woohoo:

I will be present. I have written up a one sheet of thoughts. if you'd like me to share it with you, Nick, prior to the Summit I will send you the link.

It's been a few hours since Stonewall Times went live containing my interview with Manu Intiraymi, and I have been blown away by the response it has already received from other sources. It has been retweeted a few times thus far from Manu's own tweet. Liked several times on both of Manu's Facebook pages. Shared on other Facebook pages relating to Manu. Ryan T. Husk - co star to Manu in Renegades (ryan was also co writer and make up consultant to Renegades) has called it amazing. Most of all Manu called it beautiful and has thanked Stonewall personally via twitter.

It took me months of getting everything together, sometimes sitting till the small hours of the morning going through picture after picture finding the right ones I wanted to use, as well as emailing production companies for pictures, or to get permission to use pictures.

But there are several people I need to thank personally for helping bring it all together.

Dave (Voleron) - Thank you so much in pointing me in the right direction in getting the promo video done.

Congrats to you both.

Milmar i couldn't see you begging for EC like that.. It's unbecoming of you. LOL :P

I am going to attempt to attend this summit meeting, as this is very early in the morning on sunday for me due to time difference. I am quite interested in what else is going to be said as well as.

I think I'll be there. Not sure if I have anything useful to add, but I do want to hear what is going to be said. Also, I will try to think of some stuff that might help.

Btw, for those that want to join next weekend but don't have Teamspeak, here is a how-to guide: http://fleet.stonewallgaming.net/welcome-center/guides-and-tutorials/how-to-setup-teamspeak

So who are they in game so we know who go go begging to :p

This is in important topic to talk about and I wish I could make it :(

I hope lots of people come and provide lots of useful input.

I always always try to find the good. So much negative news and bad crap is thrown at us daily. I try to find the good stories and videos of animals doing cute ass shit. :-) I'd probably be the idiot killed saving a bunch of people. I am always the one getting told that it's "none of my business" and "don't get involved". I just can't see myself not trying to help someone. There are times when I may be misguided. I'd rather be a helpful idiot than just an idiot. :-) And I need to stop babbling and go to bed. :D

Her just closing the door really bugged me, how the hell is a civilization going to survive something like that if no one is willing to get involved.

I think as a whole The Walking Dead franchise has a negative view of humanity as a whole.

I know! She can kill the principal to save a student but not save her neighbor who she went and warned earlier? And what about the little girl? I don't I'll be too sad if and/or when the mother dies.

I am so proud of this. Words fail me to describe how emotional I am seeing it finally all come together and look fantastic. It took months to come together. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Manu has become a very good friend to me, not because of this interview, our friendship goes long before the interview.

I am proud to have him as a friend.

Enjoy the read guys, and thank you for taking the time to read.

Have heard back from Renegades actor / makeup consultant and co writer Ryan T. Husk .... His words ..... Amazing job.

Ok Manu has made me cry. He has said "A really well done interview, a very beautiful interview". He has posted it on Facebook and Twitter.

I have been thinking about the future of Stonewall Gaming Network for some time now and I’d like to discuss it with all of you. I’ll be blunt -- in a lot of ways, our foray into a multi-guild network hasn’t worked out well. Knights of Stonewall (KOS) isn’t active, and while Stonewall Vanguard (SWVG) is active in Guild Wars 2, the players aren’t involved in our overall community. If we’re to launch a new guild, sooner or later, we would need to prepare and be ready. As well, we need to have a path in mind for the future of our community.

It’d be easy to blame Star Wars: The Old Republic for the lack of activity in KOS or say that our player base in SWVG is just different, but I feel both of those are just scapegoats. I’d like to reexamine how we decide to start new guilds, get them running and maintain them over the long term. Also, I’m interested to get some input on how we, as a multi-guild network, should function. As well, I’ll clear up some misconceptions about how things currently run.

Right now, our entire community is largely focused on Star Trek Online. For players coming here for other games, it’s very difficult for them to get involved into a community that’s based on an IP or lore that they know little to nothing about. Despite my best efforts to move the community in a less Star Trek centric way, there’s been little success. It’s been like plugging a dam with my finger. If we’re going to continue with the multi-guild network, I need a dedicated group that’s willing to help out, regardless of the game or guild, to move the entire community in right direction. Some of the work needed isn’t fun or glamorous, but it needs to be done.

For those interested in this topic, I’d like to invite you to join me on TeamSpeak this weekend. I’m looking to chat with those of you who are willing to speak up and share your thoughts, so please skip this if you just plan to listen Please think about what I’ve brought up in this message so far and bring your own honest thoughts and even some questions. I would love to hear from those of you with opinions, perspectives and ideas on how to solve the problems of running this community. If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to reply here, but let’s save the discussion for the meeting.

Thanks to you, Cal, and all of the contributors, including Iain for his amazing interview of Icheb! It was a great read! Thanks to all who made it possible!
