Formatting Your Sims The Astraeus SIM format corresponds with that used in the academy and detailed in Training Tutorial 1. Subject LinesA typical subject line for a sim on the Astraeus will look like
For example:
You do not need to specify if the character is an NPC, PNPC, or MSPNPC in the subject line. If a sim is particularly long or you are writing a joint post with someone else, split the sim into two parts and label them in the title:
Roman numerals (I, II, etc) are also permissible. If a sim title is getting long, you may also wish to shorten a character's rank in order to make it more readable on a single line, such as CPT instead of Captain, or ENS instead of Ensign. No Tags or Location Markers in the Subject LineAboard Astraeus, we do not list characters that are tagged for a response in the subject line, and we do not list the location of the sim in the subject line. We refrain from doing so to encourage everyone to read each sim. You never know when you might want to tie in something that someone else has introduced in another scene or another location, even if it isn't a direct tag for your character! Bolding vs. Non-BoldingDo not bold entire paragraphs. However, many players prefer to bold names at the beginning of a line of dialogue. Such as: Mei'konda: Why yes, that's a great idea, Ensign! . Common uses of bolding include:
A typical signature will look like this: Captain Mei’konda Delano |
