i think all capatain abilites apart from "evasive manoovers, ramming speed and brace for impact" with the boff abilties you chose, should be banned that way it bring it to a lvl playing field for runabout pvp

Thank you everyone who participated today :) We hope you had as much fun as we did making it.

Congratulations to the two, winning teams:

1st place: Galan Vaurek and A1088
2nd place: DeRhamme and Krovni


Gerat job!

Here are the answers to the clues above:

1) Defera - There is a Ferengi in the center of the courtyard and it is a pretty, sunny day all the time
2) K7 - There are 7 "k"s in okay. The party was in reference to the bar
3) Dabo Table at DS9 - Leeta says this
4) Memory Alpha - Bling-bling stands for the rare items and the "corp" is for the Crafting Corp
5) Starbase 39 - If you solve the math problem, it equals 39. Starbase is found from the capital letters in the statement after
6) The fountain on Vulcan - The quote is a Vulcan quote and the towel is in reference to the fountain

At the end, if the teams looked at the clues, they noticed red, bolded letters. These spelled out "emotes" and the teams had to figure out that they needed to do the emotes they received from each clue in the correct order based on spelling out "emotes"

A very special thank you to Zep, Jes and Samuel for helping with the running of the event! We couldn't have done it without you :)

Stonewall Fleet Scavenger Hunt 2.0

September 25 2010
The following tags can not be placed within a specific tag: center in size
Welcome to the Stonewall Fleet Scavenger Hunt 2.0!

You have been split up into teams of 3 and are competing for a share in 1,750,000 energy credits! First place will share 1M, second 500K, and third 250K.

As a team, you will race across the STO galaxy trying to find select Stonewall Fleet toons that have been pre-placed in various locations; you will be able to find the toons from the clues below. Don’t even think about cheating because all the toons are on private and you will not be able to see who they are, where they are, or when they log off/ on.

Once all of your team mates make it to the location which you think is correct and beam down, you will PM Zep with the answer. If you are correct, one of the above toons will appear and do an emote. Take careful note of the e-mote used, for once you have all 6 emotes, you will need to meet Zep’s main character back on ESD and do all the e-motes in a particular order. You will use the clues below and all the locations you visited to determine the correct order in which the emotes must be done for Zep. The first team to make it all back to ESD and do this in the correct order will win first place, followed by second and third.

Also, teams are able to buy additional clues for 100K each (the 3 Officers/FCs will decide on what the additional clue will be and that same one will be used for any team that buys that clue). The 100K will be deducted from your winnings and donated to the fleet bank.

NOTE: All toons will be in instance #1 of everywhere you go (or the lowest number instance available), so make sure you are all in the right one.

The Clues:


1) Let’s take a stroll here and people watch with the Ferengi. It's a beautiful day outside.

2) Okkkkkkk. Let’s get this party started.

3) Keep your eye on the prize, not the girl.

4) Need some new bling-bling? Come see the corp here.

5) Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally: [8*23-7^2+(15-3)] + [(13+2^3)-129] it’S really noT thAt haRd BecAuSE math is fun.

6) Logic offers serenity humans seldom experience: The control of feelings so that they do not control you." Control your feelings here and bring a towel.

Good luck and HAVE FUN!

Re: Dont Ask Dont Tell ruled unconstitutional

I love how that statement from Gibbs can be boiled down to this:

"Indeed, it clearly shows why Congress must act to end this misguided policy, because we can't be bothered or deal with the responsibility to do it ourselves."

Obama has not one, but two, was to end DADT. As chief of the executive branch of the government he can order the Department of Justice to not appeal. As commander-in-chief of the military, he can order them to cease enforcement. This is so infuriating, I cannot see how at this point I will not be abstaining from voting for a president come 2012.

Re: Dont Ask Dont Tell ruled unconstitutional

September 24 2010
Today, the Department of Justice made a filing in a legal challenge to the Don’t Ask, Don’t tell (DADT) policy, as it traditionally does when acts of Congress are challenged. This filing in no way diminishes the President’s firm commitment to achieve a legislative repeal of DADT – indeed, it clearly shows why Congress must act to end this misguided policy. The President was disappointed earlier this week when a majority of the Senate was willing to proceed with National Defense Authorization Act, but political posturing created a 60 vote threshold. The President spoke out against DADT in his first State of the Union Address, and the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs have both testified in support of repeal. And the Department of Defense continues to work on a plan on how to implement repeal. The President, along with his Administration, will continue to work with the Senate Leadership to achieve a legislative repeal of DADT as outlined in the NDAA this fall.

The Vardinain Chronicles- Episode I: Exodus

September 23 2010
War seemed inevitable. The aggressive Vaadwaur race has its home world only a few scant light years away from peaceful Vardinaia. The signs had been showing up for years. The Vaadwaur had developed a new form of transit, the underspace corridors, allowing ships to fly directly through subspace. These corridors were allowing the Vaadwaur to conquer and subjugate numerous worlds in recent decades, and the Vardinains knew that their time would come soon.
To prevent conflict, their Grand Council had signed a non-aggression pact with the Vaadwaur. This was not a surrender however, only the first part of an elaborate ruse, designed to save their world from slavery and oppression.
There was a young scientist from Vardain City, their capital. She theorised of a method to use the Vaadwaur technology to relocate their entire world to the outer edge of the underspace corridor network. Her plan also details a way to disrupt the corridor network behind them, preventing an exit aperture from opening within ten thousand light years from their new home.
This young woman, a doctor of xenobiology and quantum physics, had come up with the plan that could surely prevent war, and save their entire world.
* * *
“Technician Frell! What are you doing? The tetryon pulse should be at a phase variance of 4.038!” Chox shouted.
“I’m very sorry Director Chox,” the visibly nervous lab assistant responded. “It’s just with our deadline, I must have misaligned the pulse emitters by mistake, trying to finish on time.”
Her anger subsiding, Chox regarded the technician, his bald green head drooping, embarrassed by his mistake. A warm smile formed on her face.
As she spoke, the dropped the formality of their positions in the facility where they worked. “Don’t worry about it brother, I corrected it in time, so our survey of the generator won’t need to be restarted.”
Of course, there was no question in either of their minds of what generator she was talking about. She had come up with the plan herself.
The non aggression pact served her people two purposes. The first was to buy time before the seemingly inevitable Vaadwaur bloodshed began. The second purpose was to provide her access.
More specifically, because of the pact, Chox was able to begin work as an analyst in an underspace corridor construction lab. It was there, that three days before, Chox had stolen the underspace corridor generator.
It wasn’t long after that when her face, along with words like “terrorist”, “extremely dangerous” and “kill on sight” were broadcast all over the holovid “news” programs broadcast by the Vaadwaur, little more than propaganda.
There were able to determine that there must have been a surveillance device in the underspace lab that they had neglected to disable. This meant that it was only a matter of time before the Vaadwaur found her, and then her would may never be saved.
So now it was a race against time. Could they learn to modify the generator for their purposes before they were captured and executed?
The aforementioned purpose, was to modify the generator to channel the vast amounts of energy being created in the planets core. They had already tapped the core energies, and just needed to adjust the generator to use it. This would allow for the creation of a corridor large enough to accommodate their entire world, and all satellites, ranging from the smallest comm relay, up to their three moons.
Their deep subspace telescopes had already found them a new home, a star system at the other end of the galaxy, similar in size and composition to their own sun.
The conduit would be placed within the path of their worlds orbit, with an exit at the corresponding point of the new system. The momentum of their orbit would propel them through the corridor, and the gravity well of the new sun would “catch” Vardinaia into a new, nearly identical orbit.
They would keep the generator online during the two weeks long passing through subspace. This would have the result of “stretching” the corridor behind them, thus preventing the entry aperture from remaining open. Once they exit, they would immediately shut down the generator, releasing the rubber band of their massive underspace corridor. This snap back would have two results. The entrance back in their old star system would collapse into a black hole, and likely absorb the entire system. In their new home, the entire region would be mildly destabilized in subspace, preventing any underspace corridors from passing through the region, or opening in it.
