Glad to see ArenaNet has this as their first rule for Guild Wars 2:

"While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated."

I just played this mission tonight, and was really impressed with the detailed, custom environments. The mission was polished and the story was solid with interesting twists and unique aspects to the combat.

It's been a while since I've played a Foundry mission, but the environment screenshots pulled me in, and I took the time to play it :)

Highly recommended.. I'm sure you'll get some more plays as soon as the mission moves from the 'reviewer' list to the main foundry mission listing page :)

Keep up the good work!

Hey Nick,

Any update on getting the Stonewall Fleet site back? Not that the Guild Wars side of the house hasn't been welcoming, but, I miss our old home :)

I have the xmas morning feeling - thus the earlier post at 3 am.. couldn't sleep. But that might be a good thing because I'll take a nice old man nap on the couch later today.

I bought a new chair with lumbar support at Ikea which should last me through headstart weekend before falling apart (yeah i threw in an Ikea quality jab..)

Meanwhile I bought my groceries for three days of gayming - almonds, Kashi bars, and various fruit and veggies. Although I do have a Camelback I'm gonna go traditional and use a cup :/

With all the healthy snacking - I have no guilt eating the pizza :) And cheese + ham + pineapple = delishus

Have you seen the new graphics upgrades on the in development page?

That reminds me of BF 1942, very splendid.

My plan is to try to fall asleep by 8pm tonight, so that I can wake up at 1am and start spamming the servers. Hopefully they will come up sooner, rather than later... After grabbing the names I want, I plan to go back to bed for a few hours.

Of course, that Xmas morning feeling might be too much for me, in which case I will stay up all night playing and crash midday :whistle:

Episode 708 - Enterprise - "The Council" - 05/12/2004

Archer speaks at the Xindi council and finds one species has launched the superweapon in defiance of the council.

Enjoy!

Oh jesus christ, I should have stayed in bed :lol: ...

If you don't feel like you can stay on a server with Reddit (it is only two of the Reddit guilds, not the entire community) then roll on another server. You have free-will and you can still join the guild and take part in the discussion. The only problem will be that you won't have access to the guild buffs or be able to take part in WvW with us.

Guild Wars 2 is very much a social game but that doesn't mean you have to directly interact with every single person who is on your server. I wanted to go with the LGBT guilds to try and increase how open we could all be while playing the game and there is no reason why Reddit should hinder that.

If you have local chat on and if a member of Reddit (or anybody) acts in a homophobic manner then screenshot it, ignore them and either report it to ArenaNet or send it to me and I'll report it to ArenaNet.

Reddit maybe big but being a member of Reddit won't offer them protection. The entire Reddit community isn't going to quit Guild Wars 2 just because a few of their members got hit with the banhammer for being douches. Chances are they'll be known as douches in the Reddit community. All communities have members who fall into the douche-i-ness category (except this one, love you guys! :whistle: ).

As long as we stick together we'll be fine.

Mmmm cold pizza for breakfast yum

3: we're going to face an equal amount of ignorance, misogyny, and blatant trolling wherever we decide to stay, it's a given. You don't back down from things like that, you don't run. you stand your ground and you educate. you take it on yourself to try to open someone's eyes, and you recognize the lost causes and let sleeping dogs lie.

Yes, but I get to decide when and where to do that, and online is one place I've opted not to do it. It's rarely effective at doing anything other than giving me a headache and the other person one more notch on their flamethrower. If you've had better experiences, I'm glad, but I choose not to do my educating where people are as often as not willfully hateful and ignorant. I won't be forced into ruining my fun-time on a computer game. :\ As likely as not, I will have local chats turned off and just be in the guild channel specifically to avoid any crap from ignoranmuses so my only concern would be the server cap.

I was a redditor for years until it just got too bad.

They will say they won't allow trolling but to them that doesn't include racism, homophobia, etc.

Remember that gw2guru post about a LGBT friendly server and how everyone didn't understand why we would want to "segregate ourselves?" That is reddit's view on that kind of thing. They don't even understand why we like parades.

It is a huge site and of course this isn't how every redditor thinks, the issues they don't discourage that kind of thinking.

Papa John's 50% off promo TAYLOR50 - Exp 8/26

for all of us fatties out there that don't want to get up to cook or make a sammich. during headstart

well, here's a link to a locked post by their moderators that will hopefully put your minds at ease, somewhat. still digging through their community forums, which ARE open to view for the public.

and, to light this up a bit, i perused through said guild's forums, and i say a pretty tame decorum. from what i saw, they're only there to join up with a good WvW alliance, i didn't see which one, but maybe it'd be synergy alliance? if so...gayme on is also a member of synergy, so i really don't see an issue with this YET, other than the server cap woes, which i don't think will be as much of an issue as people are saying. if so, i believe that arenanet would have given us some insight into it by now, as it seems they're staying on top of community concerns fairly well.

Question: Isn't that look you posted only referring to one Reddit based guild rolling on Crystal Desert, not the entire Reddit community?

According to the primary GW2 page on Reddit (Here), it looks like the primary NA Reddit server is Isles of Janthir. Additionally, out of the 7 Reddit based guilds in NA, only two have picked Crystal Desert as their home server.

It's very possible that I may be overlooking something, but to me it seems like there are only 2 Reddit guilds rolling on CD, not the entire Reddit community. The overall Reddit community is apparently being directed to Isles of Janthir, with Gate of Madness as the backup. Overall, I don't see a significant cause for concern in two Reddit guilds being based on our server.

maybe this was the server they choosed back in beta? *shrugs*
