Heh, last time I was posting here for anything helpful, I was the CnC of Freedom Fleet. Well, due to dropping interest, and well consolidations of those who...
The eternal question! How to get people interested again... it takes a while, but I found the most effective way was to IM (or if no IM, Email) everyone and...
... Well, Chas answered B, so I'll take a shot at A. Have you asked those still around what they'd like to see in the game? Just becase they aren't running...
... Well sometimes people prefer to read other than getting involved and in 17 years I have seen all sorts of people doing but the advice I would give is get a...
Everyone knows I have an open door policy. When I ran Hyperion it was the same. Half the mission ideas came from or were run by the crew. I'll repost that...
With regard to a current and active recruitment site, the United Simmers Group will be reshaped to just such a group over the summer when myself and our...
O.K., here's a topic that comes up every so often in forums like this. What does everyone think of players of one gender playing characters of another? Good?...
Well here's my two cents. Good: A careful simmer may research various behaviors and problems mostly exclusive to one sex. That player would gain insight that...
For starters, I would have to agree with kapronek's comments on female avatars in online role playing games. I, too, have found that other players tend to be...
Over the years, I've seen quite a few players play characters of the opposite sex. Mostly, I have to say, men playing women, though not exclusively. Whichever...

The others have pretty much summed up a lot of my thoughts, but I did have a couple other thoughts that I hadn't seen brought up. Kapronek (Capt Jacob Levy)...

As for a male writing a female role or a female writing a male role. Authors write many different characters and both genders all the time in books. I don't...
I tend to prefer writing male characters, even though I'm female. I'm not sure why this is, but...that's what I like to write. I do notice that I seem unable...
Was thinking today (scary, I know *lol*), and got to wondering something. What does everyone think of limiting the number of NPCs in a game? Does anyone have a...
Hello all, I've never had to impose limits on NPCs. The writers on Yamato focus on their main character and utilise NPCs to help the plot along. Some NPCs...
I have never had the problem arise where I had to set a limit on NPC's. My crew does specific NPC's for what ever story or place we are at. Some NPC's that...
Hello all, Sorry for the delayed response, but I've been busy! I've heard my share of horror stories, but personally I've never had any problems with people...
Hi Chas: The main thing I find that is helpful for simmers of NC17 rated or "R" rated sims is, I remind us all on the sim that NC 17 and R does not mean X's...
Hello everyone, I'd like to get a census of opinion on the following question. "Is it neccesary to have an OOC group that runs concurrent with a game any of us...
in my opinion, it is. the OOC part of the group is the place where people can be themselves, rather than their caracter, make friends with other people OOC,...
