Introduction

First and foremost, welcome to the USS Victory! If you're reading this, it's likely that you've been linked to this handbook by either Commander Andrus Jaxx, his first officer Commander Ash MacKenna or your mentor, whoever that may be.

This page serves as a combined welcome and 'HowTo' page for simming as part of the USS Victory crew.

Basic Simming

Tip: The 'To' E-mail address box should be the last thing you fill out before sending your sim (after proof-reading it). This way, you'll never accidently send out a sim before you're ready!

Extra Writing Avenues

A Mission Specific Player Non-Playing Character, or MSPNPC, is an NPC assigned to a specific player for the duration of a mission. They are usually antagonists, and are simmed using an anonymous e-mail address.

Anonymous Email Accounts

At the beginning of a mission, the CO takes volunteers for people to play these roles, and assigns them each to an anonymous e-mail accounts. During the mission, no one knows who is playing which MSPNPC, including the other MSPNPCS. We have found that this adds to the suspension of disbelief, removes expectations from the MSPNPCs, and makes the game more enjoyable. At the end of the mission, identities are usually revealed.

Simming an MSPNPC

MSPNPCs are simmed just like any PNPC, just be sure not to include information that would reveal your identity. These are a great chance to try something new or challenging with a character, since they are designed to be temporary.
