All, <<Mike, you can pass this along to the Powers-that-Be in Star Trek: Frontiers. He may try you next- not by my suggestion, either. :)>> I wanted to take a...
Dear all, *salutes rather nervously* I am hoping to begin a startrek rpg soon. I am probably getting a little ahead of myself as I am not the most experience...
I've probably told you all this before really, but I'll say it again, for anyone else who's thinking about starting ships. I started my ship the Emancipator...
Well, the first bit of advice I can offer is to not put too much concern into whether or not there's another ship out there with the same name. There's bound...

Thanks all for advice *salutes slightly more bravely, his trill 'crest' still looking rather green* Capt Caraway, yeah i did get the whole 'carrier craft' idea...
I would say that having a website would be a big help in running a sim, so it's a good thing you're working on one (my advice would be to wait until after it's...
I remember dealing with someone in a rather similar situation once. In simming, I've been with the AES since day 1, and among other things have played over the...
Just to drop in : ) Yeah, I know two USS Odins, one is English simm, another is Croatian simm (was in my fleet). But that shouldn't be an concern to you. As...
... 9 out of 10 crew will leave at some point, most will be poor posters, and getting more is hard ... I'd actually say 10 out of 10 will leave at some point....
... Essentually, the only thing I've done to retain players is to encourage communication between the players. I've always had a chat room running in which...

... Personally, I think retention is something that is best accomplished, at least initially, by prompt communication. I used to run our RPG's training ...
Not meaning to get into a competition here. So what you've got 22 members in total - Now 11 left? You don't have a story line nor any quality posts, and what...
I'm going to get snippy here, and I mean no offense by this... I'm proud of what we've accomplished with the Firestorm. The information and numbers I presented...

Simply that the sim keeps going year after year after year. Simmers wanting to stay on the sim, because they enjoy it is its own indicator for 'quality'. ...
Hi there, I been following the post regarding the question P. Starr put out there but, I thought was the responce was kinda well--rude. I believe next time...
... Well, is the shift of attention permanent, or is the character in question only going to be the "star" (and thus the center of attention) for the duration...
I'm on three GM discussion lists, and reading over various threads on the topic of recruiting for sims I've come to the conclusion that a big factor in good...
I'm curious what you all think about cadet retention? I'm a Divisional Commander in a Large sim group, UCIP with like 430-500 members last count. Recently...
... To be honest P. Starr, if you have only a hand full of active players, that play and have fun. There is nothing to worry about. ... Oh Beth, I couldn't...
