Sim Format


The sim format used on the USS Excalibur-A is the one, mostly, learned at the Academy, detailed in Tutorial 1, and continued in the other tutorials. The modifications we employ include

  • Include TBC at the end of a sim if there is expected to be a continuation of the scene. There is always a continuation as this is an ongoing story.
  • Include TAG at the end of a sim if there are tags for other players.
The most common ending to a sim will be TAG/TBC.
  • Try your best to remove formatting from the body of the sim, from location tag to the ending - including bolding, italics, and others.
    • If you wish to use formatting in your signature, please feel to do so.
  • Split really long sims input multiple parts and label them as such.
  • Include JP in the subject line of any Joint Posts.
  • Include BACKSIM in the subject line of any sims that occur in the past and do not advance the story.
  • Be sure to include MSNPC, NPC, PNPC or any other qualifiers for characters on the subject line.
Examples
JP: Cmdr Oddas & PNPC Lt. Cmdr Han: A Difficult Decision
BACKSIM: MSNPC Cmdr Stelak: Something Wierd this Way Comes
Fleet Captain Kali Nicholotti: Do Not Go Gently
