    Wouldn't the Deferi believe the surreal needs to exist to keep the normal in balance?

    Deferi need love. Deferi need Balance. Balance makes all things equal. Balance makes all things..... I was about to say good, but if all things are good, that is an overbalance to good, and thus not Balance.

    Very nice and detailed website! Just one nitpick though.. Some of the background images are around 3MB each and can be slow to load on some connections. You could maintain the quality while greatly reducing the file size in photoshop or equivalent photo editing software. The trick is to save them as JPEG instead of PNG and choose the "High" Quality when saving them instead of "Maximum".

    Here... I've done 6 of them for you, and you'll notice that they are about 10% of their original file size while maintaining the quality!

    Now all you need to do is right click on each one - "Save Image As", upload them to your image directory on your server and then change the file paths to the images from ".png" to ".jpg" on your CSS sheet or HTML code. You will need to also upload your HTML pages now too. That's basically it. (But I bet you already knew all that though right? lol)

    If you need any help just let me know! Now go in Balance and enjoy a more Optimized and Balanced Website! ;)

    Hmm, I read the title of this thread and just assumed the help you were requesting involved organizing the Defera TRIBBLE pride parade.

    Just me? Nobody else got that from the thread title?

    oh well.

    Guess its all working as intended. :D

    @c0nd1t10nr3d,
    Thanks for the tip! My internet connection is so fast I didn't really notice, but I should really do some data management. Next week it will be a lot faster, I'll follow your advise and give it an overhaul.

    And the balance, yes, you can imagine the discussions in our fleet. Is too happy being unbalanced? If you have too much luck, should you organize some bad luck too? Well, it's not quite like that. We're working on some enlightening balance phylosophy, it will be right there with the Deferi literature soon...so we don't have these unbalanced paradoxes about balance anymore...

    @boglejam73 It got you to look though....but us Deferi are very tolerant. It's the balanced thing to be, you see?

    No Problem! I'm happy to help!

    The images I uploaded and linked above should cut your workload by half if you view each one, save and upload. They are already optimized for the web. Again, if you need any further help or whatever, just ask! ;)

    This is quite impressive.

    I've just had an awesome trip down memory lane hunting for my old Deferi character. I made him during the Featured Episode release nearly two years ago now. This was slightly before a lot of other people started making them - so I had a lot of fun being the only one roleplaying about 'Balance' and being an emerging spacefaring species in places.

    Good times. I really look forward to running your proposed foundry missions.

    Why dont you join us, if not with you main, then with an alt? We could definitely use all the people with love for the Deferi we can find!

    You would be surprised how few Deferi there still are, and how many nice responses me and the other (by now 8) fleetmembers get when we are walking around. A lot of people think its cool to see a Deferi and say so. It's a nice thing to be.

    I'd like to, but... :(

    Oh well, I'll ask one more time :D

    Can I get the instructions to make a basic Deferi male and female? :)

    P.S. Getting me out of my current fleet is impossible :P

    P.P.S. And yes, I know the post was intended for nynik :p (intentional typo, I'm hitting the smiley limit)

    Deferi Male: http://www.defera.org/deferi-male-design.html

    Deferi Female: http://www.defera.org/deferi-female-design.html

    You can also go and download premade templates here: http://www.stoacademy.com/guides/alien/deferi.php

    (zip file called " Complete STO Deferi set " on that page)

    This gives some .jpeg portraits, which, when you put them into your startrek online screenshots folder will allow you to LOAD them as options on an alien character (at the tailor).

    Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I do not think I have the time at the moment, but I will be keeping an eye on you. ^^

    @ dalolorn

    I'm really beginning to warm up to you with all those smileys! Very balanced.
    I was not intending to get you out of your fleet though, I think you are balanced there and should definitely stay.

    The premade template is brilliant, I had not seen it before. Unfortunately the female has some faults. The male is perfect however. And it's on STO academy, a website that you said you have been taught to use, I think. So you can make your boff now, I wish you fun with doing that!

    I never said I was taught to use specific websites, but I did say STO wiki, not STO academy (never heard of it before either) :P

    You should read your own posts back.

    "First of all, it's not dalogorn. Second, I've been taught not to go to random websites. That's why I go strictly to forums related to the games I'm interested in, the STO wiki, the Stargate wiki, YouTube, and Memory Alpha."

    @Dalagorn

    How old are you?

    In how many ways do you need to hear the word NO?

    No is no, so stay away or talk about other things. This attention seeking might be nice for you, but all the other people in this thread are really irritated by it, in case you missed the hints.

    He is something else.....

    Dalagorn, its no. Nein. Non. Nee. Njet. Niente. Oya. Ne. Jok. Daong. Nann. Nese. Nie. Nei.
    NO NOOO NOOOOO NOOOOOOOO

    You are not getting what you want. That might upset you, but no-one is going to type out whole instructions that are just a mouseclick away because you are a surreal character that does not understand that a firewall and an anti virus application make it safe to browse internetsites you might not have heard of before.

    So deal with it.

    That's a nice site you have there.
    I think I make my next character Deferi to.
    My only complain about the site is that the light blue text is a bit hard for me to see. (Or I'm just tired, it's night here in the Netherlands :P.)

    All this Deferi love and the excellent website inspired me to revamp the Deferi character I created http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memory-gamma/images/b/b2/Maura.png it also makes me want to add more Deferi in my series whenever possible.

    I really aprreciate your efforts of finding the Deferi a theme song! You really shouldn't have. But thanks.

    To bring things in balance I had to look for a theme song for humans, of course.

    Here you go!

    Maura is very cute. I would just make the forehead a bit narrower, it is high enough, but a bit to wide still. Otherwise she is perfect. If you have her full name, I could register her in the Defera Citizen Registry.

    I hope you will be in touch when you make your Deferi character, we would like to welcome you in the fleet of course, but in the very least know your Deferi!

    Thanks for the feedback. I have no problem reading the blue texts, but sometimes things look different on other peoples computers. If you could provide a screenshot I can see what you see and get what needs to be adjusted. Because it needs to be a balanced website, of course.
