How you came to UFOP: SB118
I came to SB118, by an search of PBEM games on the internet. I liked Star Trek, but I realized that I would have work on the writing skills. I joined and after a bit of prodding by the FO, I got hooked. It was a good fit. I moved a few years ago from my gaming group, and needed my 'fix'of gaming. I still do some military board gaming but SB118, now covers the vast majority of my gaming time.
Probably the biggest thing that drew me to ST118 that I knew that if I put the time in the game, that the game would still be there. I figured 18 years was a pretty good track record.
History
- Where were you first placed? What was it like starting to sim on your vessel?
I was first placed on the USS Aurora/USS Avandar. I was assigned as a tactical officer on the Aurora and then moved with the rest of the crew to the Avandar. I took me a while to get used to the entire 'sim' speak. But I have gotten used to it and now I am one of the more active simmers on the ship. I then applied to the new ship the Vigilant. I had a wonderful time on the Avandar, but the change has really refreshed me with a group of new writers.
- What have been your greatest challenges in this group?
The actual writing has always been a challenge. I have never been good at grammar. I have a vivid imagination but putting it down in text is difficult. I have a couple of good writers on the Vigilant that helps me at lot...
- What have been your greatest achievements in this group?
The re-write of the three Species. No doubt. That work will be looked at for many years. Hopefully new cadets will like what see and gives them fodder for many a good simm. I have also enjoyed working on the podcasts.
- What do you hope to ultimately accomplish?
I find it the ultimate escape in some respects, I love reading the Simms and writing them. I love history and have done three 'species' updates that I am very proud of. It really makes one think and I take a lot of pride in doing them. I enjoy the forums and doing wiki work. Knowing that people will be looking at my work for years to come. It also forces me to do good work that I am proud of. I am always striving to do better for myself and for the family of SB118.
- Where do you see this group in five years?
I hope we have more participates in 5 years. I certainly see myself here. I think we are a valued part of the greater STAR TREK community.
- How do you think this group has contributed to Star Trek's legacy? How has the group contributed to the internet community?
I don't know, honestly, but I know how often that SB118 comes up on Star Trek searches on the internet. I am always surprised how often I see a reference to SB118. I do feel that we are a intergal part of the internet Star Trek community.
