Here on the Veritas, we commonly use abbreviations to indicate a location at the beginning of a subject line. Common ones for our ship include [V] (for Veritas) and [A1] (for [[Astrofori One]]). If an acronym for a planet doesn’t exist, we’d make it up and try to use it consistently throughout the mission. If you're the first one to sim in a certain location, be bold! Make up your own location header!

If there are multiple scenes going on in one location, we add a three letter abbreviation to further specify where. For instance, [V-SIC] for the Veritas's sickbay or [V-ENG] for Main Engineering.

[Location Abbreviation] Character Rank and Name, Including NPC Status: Sim Title
'''[Location Abbreviation] Character Rank and Name: Sim Title'''


For example:
For example:
* [V] Cmdr. Roshanara Rahman: The Best Title Ever
* [V] Capt. [[Roshanara Rahman]]: The Best Title Ever
* [V-ENG] Lt. Cmdr. Tristam Core: So Here's the Thing...
* [V-ENG] Lt. Cmdr. [[Tristam Core]]: So Here's the Thing...
* [A1] PNPC Dr. Nick Parks: Over on the Station
* [SSE] Dr. [[Nikki Ryan]]: Over on Star Station Esperance
* [GY] MSNPC Councilor Prianna: The Plot Thickens
* [MT] [[Lenik]]: An Unwelcome Surprise
 
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:
 
* [V-SIC] Lt. Cmdrs. Moonsong & Jolara: Moving Forward (Part 1)
* [V-SIC] Lt. Cmdrs. Moonsong & Jolara: Moving Forward (Part 2)
