Ok first off this looks to be an interesting idea... a survey... or census... I think we are thinking too far into it... like I learned in college its useless...
Speaking as a Game CO myself, of a sixty person game, the only fact I would be interested in is where most present-day gamers are hanging and find the games...
... I didn't think it'd be as big as you outlined a couple of emails ago ;-) I was thinking of a fairly simple PHP-powered site that would take a few hours to...
UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED TRUTHS: 1) We could do a census. 2) We could not keep it continuously updated. 3) It would be primarily for the sake of keeping...
The only way I see to do this kind of thing would be to: (a) not be so specific that certain informational items became out-of-date before it was even finished...
Okay, my thoughts Start simply with a sim census 1) Ship Name (yes) 2) "Registry Number" (Don't think it's needed at all tbh) 3) Fleet/Organization or...
the questions that would interest me are how many ships are you currently on what are their names who is the captain what kind of sim style do you like what...
I think it's mildly insane to stray into a simmers census/database... we all know that there are a wide variety of people behind characters and I know it would...
one point before I go to work...We don't want a qualitive survey, a census, by definition, is as quantitive as a survey gets. note that all those questions...
One other issue that comes to mind, I was going to fill this out just or the hell of it, but I ran into this: We are not an organization of several ships that...
Good question. The same thing is true for ST Frontier Fleet. The ships (and spacestation ;-) ) are not seen as separate games. Everything is part of one game. ...
Heya Bram, long time no talk. Bram's game was started by a guy that was in the FGN once long ago, same as me. We run the same general style and have the same...
One possibly solution to this is to change the emphasis away from a census of sims and make it a census of ships/stations with a sim. I've run ships before...
MODERATORS NOTE: Subject line modified from original message. Also, I made an error in that Spindel has been on board since 7/13; I somehow read it as 9/13, so...
I would never advise handing command over like that. Command of a ship is a sacred thing, and very personal. pick someone you know well, who you trust, don't...
Roger that. It's not just up to whoever will take it. Anyone interested, I would like to contact me, and most of the people on this list I know at least some....
... Well, I've got several Star Trek tabletop RPG books, one of which is "All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook" (Star Trek: The Expanded Universe),...
... Thanks for the info on the sourcbook, I'll see if I can check that out. For my game, we've pretty much ignored most of Enterprise, and avoided mentioned...
Hello, In the near future I hope to be running a table top game using Decipher's system. The game will be run at a local Gaming store in Lancaster PA, and the...
Welcome! ... <<snip>> ... Sounds very interesting (for the insectoid race, I keep having the urge to mutter "Resistance is futile!"). ... Hmmm... For some...
... Thier empathy won't be like the Collective, not true telepathy, more like a feel for the direction the whole race is going. Its hard to explain what I'm...
I wonder if anyone thought about having a big IRC meeting where everyone on this list could come and chat, talk about anything going on in the ST role playing...
... everyone on this list could come and chat, talk about anything going on in the ST role playing simming world and what not. I think that'd be a great idea...
might I suggest we start to use the chat feature on yahoo groups more? you need to get the software for it, but i'm sure that at any one moment in the day...
I recently got a great deal on some old gaming books and now am the proud owner of GURPS 4.0 and I have GURPS Prime directive on order, so I will be using...
Has anyone noticed that the http://www.rpg-captains.net/ has become a USS Atlantis site. Granted there is no direct patriotism to this group, it is not a...
Good point, something I hadn't thought of yet. I'll tell you why. CURRENTLY, there is no complete RPG-C site. I have hoped to have it made for a long time, and...
Nothing bothers me more than to listen to people complain rather than help. So Victor... I'll help. I'm not an expert in webdesign for sure but I can do a...
