Member Testimonials can be great when trying to show others how enthusiastic our members are.

How to write a testimonial

There are a few key components of a good recommendation:

1. Brevity
2. Perfect spelling
3. Acceptable (perfect is better!) grammar

Once you've taken care of these basic points, there are some optional components, which added together can create a great recommendation. Consider adding any of these points:

• How long you've been a member
• Why you joined
• Any kind words about the website
• Mention of the wiki, UPDS, forums, etc.
• What you thought of the training
• What you think of your ship
• If you've made friends (I hope!) and the sense of community you get with us
• Any kind words about the staff

Remember, we're not looking for reviews. A review is going to hit high points and low points and offer criticisms. We want testimonials, which are a positive look at our group -- some would even say propaganda!

Approved testimonials

• "I've been with UFOP/SB118 since March 2006 and can tell this is the most terrific PBEM group I ever found on the net. As a member of UFOP, the player must keep an strong sense of responsability and endeavor for better himsilf/herself. The SIMs are performed in the best realistic way, immersing one self in the universe of Trek. On the other hand, is real good practice for those wanting to better their writing skills. And I know because my native language is not english. One of the most important thing is the commitment to stick the closest possible to the Star Trek Canon, so this provides us a solid ground where to build our plots and SIMs. Want to leave the experience of becoming a real StarFleet officer and to boldly go where no fanfic writer has gone before? This is the right place for you!"

• "I have been with this PBEM simm group for over 4 years, I must admit that at first I was rather intimidated by the skill and professionalism of this group, their dedication to the StarTrek ideology is impressive and their hunger for information exciting.. I have never found a group of people be so open and friendly which makes writing here a joy. If I would have started in this group in my teens I think I would have aced every exam I went for, my understanding of English language and literature has improved exponentially and my love of science has driven me on to new and greater things in my real life... Since joining this group it has given me the confidence to push out beyond the norm and to try new things, they are not just a group that share my hobby, they are my friends..."

• "I've been with SB118 for over three years and the storylines get better and better all thanks to the contributions of the writers. Organizational staff take this game very seriously. If you're looking for a professionaly-run trek sim group, you must check out starbase118.net!"

• "This PBeM site opened my mind to forums as well as improved my skill at writing in a format. I highly recommend this site for anyone who likes trek and simulations of trek in written form. It is a sim were we are actors in the scripts, making the movie happen. It is all logged and wiki'ed group simed together from the ships and the starbase to the forum.

• "Okay, might be a touch bias but I have been in the group for over 6 years. If it was not worth the time and effort I would not still be a member."

• "I've done a good handful of PBeMs but without a doubt SB:118 is the best I've found. It's an amazing group with amazing people, that's always trying to better itself. SB:118 is really the best there is, you can't find anywhere with a better sense of community, better leadership, or better missions! And, with all the unique ships, there really is something for everyone."

• "I joined SB118 in Jan/Feb of this year (2007). I had no previous experience of simming or PBEM but the website and the sense of history enticed me to give it a go. I had done tabletop roleplaying before and I found the training period very helpful in terms on understanding some of the basic concepts (such as email format) that the group uses. The trainers all proved very helpful, informative & accomodating, the website and wiki are full of useful and interesting information and the game itself is very friendly with a good mix of adventure and mystery and plenty of opportunity for roleplaying. What I like the most about SB118, however, is the sense of community you get through the message boards with plenty of folks happy to chat on any subject, not just star trek."
