Eagle Manual/Expectations
Member Expectations
All members of USS Eagle are required to meet the following expectations:
1. Communicate
The staff of your group understands this is a game, and other things can and will take priority. That said, unless its an emergency, since the game we play is email based, 'communicating with the group is of the utmost importance. It lets the group know if there is a problem, if we should continue to post without you, and if we have other reasons to be concerned. A short single sentence or two to the OOC group or the CO and XO is all it takes to let us know. Hey, I'm going out of town for a couple of days and things will be crazy, is a perfectly reasonable way to meet this requirement.
| Consideration for promotions, assignments (NPC, MSNPCs, etc) and other activities will depend on how well a player meets this basic requirement. |
2. Sim Regularly
Fulltime status for the Eagle is a minimum of 3 sims per week (12 times per month). We do encourage you to sim more regularly as it can help other players who are struggling to move the plot forward. If you are having issues maintaining this pace, please contact your mentor, the Commanding Officer, and/or the Executive Officer for assistance.
| To be considered for, or to maintain, a Department Head position, you must maintain full-time status. |
3. Sim Appopriately
It is important sims are written from the point of view of your character, including the knowledge and experience appropriate for your character. Be sure to remove characterizations, descriptions and the other errata from other players' points of view and to still drive the plot forward.
The USS Eagle specifically, and SB118 in general, is a PG-13 environment and we allow players as young as 13 in the fleet. Before submitting your sim, ask yourself 'would this have appeared on any of the broadcast television Star Trek series?'
| If you are unsure of particular content, ask the command staff. |
