Hey folks, First off, let me apologize for my lack of activity on this mail string for the last few weeks. My computer basically blew up and I couldn't get it...
Hey Seth in response to your email I got to say I tink pbem.com is an excellent resource. My new simulation Deep Space Seven has benefited tremendously from...
Hey Cordell, Please don't take anything I said as anything against PBEM.com. I simply feel that they are but one resource and that they could be more effective...
Captains and Atlantis crew: This link is fascinating and relevant to us. It's designed to be easily understandable, and is still pretty complicated. Anyway, a...
Here's another interesting link: http://www.physicsguy.com/ftl It's several articles written about Faster Than Light travel (in Star Trek, in particular),...
I've been thinking for a while it might be good to move away from sims that are intended to go on for as long as they can, and instead see if a time limited...
This is an interesting Idea. I have never heard of a sim that just lasts a certain set time or mission. To add on even more you can then post the mission...
Wow, this sounds like a great concept. I am surprised it's not caught on as an alternative to the traditional style of simming. There are unlimited ...
true, but a well experienced player needs minimal time for character development since the character is mostly developed already in their minds. it would have...
Well it wouldn't neccessarily have to be operated like by a fleet. The membership could be operated as per usual, but the plots obviously would work very...
I'd happily lead such a group, a short term captain, going down with the ship, suits me fine. Difficulty is trying to find the crew that would be willing to...
This could be an interesting idea. I've seen this suggested a few times but I don't think I've ever seen it implemented. Now, I would think this would work...
Well I gave the membership issue some thought and it occured to me that instead of recruiting per see, you could set up a pool of players who are interested in...
How often do you have a pool of 50 players for a single sim though? The largest single sim I have seen had a staff in the upper 30's. How often will people...
how about this: every newbie on every list joins the academy, in which there is a shortterm training mission for them to get to know their character. the...
sounds like an ideal training scenario but who's to say it could get silly. it could be serious as you wanted. the silly ones would be the ones with just...
I also think it's an interesting idea. I've only seen it implemented twice in a sim (both non-Trek), several years ago (and I never did join either, so I...
I wonder...Would this open up opportunities to have full PCs as the enemy. if life or death isn't an issue, I wouldn't mind playing the part of the bad guy K ...
Message cause the badguy always looses, especially in star trek;) or even more so, how about a Kobayashi Maru for newbies?;) I wonder...Would this open up...
not always true. if you're the hostage who get's shot to send a message that the bad guy is serious, the bad guy definately beat you. besides, losing's fine...
Right now in FSF we have "Open Sims" which are a scaled down version of this idea. Anyone can come in and request a post, and play that part for the night....

I used to be against civilians coming on my sim and role play8ing, but I'm quickly learning that sometimes its good to be the bad guy. On Deep Space Seven we...
While the idea of a limited sim isn't unusual, the Academy usually provides the best background. Especially for the new simmer. I haven't heard of anything...
on a starbase I play I'm a semi retired bounty hunter. The idea is that underneath everything there is an underground hunter realm, governed by a council who...
Essentially what Greg has outlined would be basically what I was thinking of. Clearly running multiple sims would be on the basis of having enough players to...
... Or how often do we not join a sim as a player because we don't have the time to commit to a long-term sim that (if successful) would be running for several...
The Night Before Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas, He lived all alone, in a one bedroom house, made of plaster and stone. I had come down the...
Ladies and gents, USG's forums were recently hacked by person(s) unknown. Our webmaster has heard that other boards have likewise been hacked. Anyone got any...
