In an e-mail based activity such as simming, '''communication is fundamental.''' We are all participating in this game as a pastime and understand real life commitments and other things may keep you from simming. That said, unless it is an emergency, you are expected to give your fellow players and your captain the courtesy of a short e-mail to let us know if something comes up that will keep you from participating for a few days. Literally a "Hey, sorry, this week is crazy! Please feel free to move on!" message is all you need to send to the OOC list. | In an e-mail based activity such as simming, '''communication is fundamental.'''

Unfortunately, we have found from experience on the ''Invicta'' and other ships in the fleet that those who cannot sim at least twice a week are unable to keep up with the story in an enjoyable fashion for either them or their fellow players. People tag them less, and then they feel they have less to contribute to, and it becomes a vicious cycle. If your real life circumstances have changed, please let us know, and we can try to find a solution, which may include taking a '''leave of absence.''' | Unfortunately, we have found from experience on the ''Invicta'' and other ships in the fleet that those who cannot sim at least twice a week are unable to keep up with the story in an enjoyable fashion for either them or their fellow players.
