Columbia Officer Manual: Difference between revisions

When you came through the academy, you were given a good comprehensive course on the mechanics of simming and you honestly don't need more than that to put a sim in the right format. As you sim with us you'll continuously learn how to improve the content that sites between the symbols. The [[Andaris Task Force]] SIM format corresponds closely with that used in the academy and detailed in [http://www.starbase118.net/cadets/training-area/ the Tutorial Library], Tutorials 1-6.

There are two notable difference and that is that '''the Andaris Task Force crew do not 'ALLCAP' the last name of their character when putting together tags. ''' and '''use ? rather than response when leaving tags. '''

Generally speaking, there's always something interesting and fun going in the ATF. We might be doing a set mission (a task assigned to the ship by Starfleet Command), something more free-form such as dealing with a dramatic event aboard the ship, or taking some shore leave. No matter what we're doing, your character should have something to do to contribute, even if this contribution isn't at the forefront of the action. With a dozen or more players within the ATF at any one time its impossible for everyone to be at the forefront of things all the time but everyone will have their chance.  

How your character helps out will vary dependant upon the duty post your character is assigned to in the ATF as well as the current events in the ongoing plot. This is where your creativity as a writer comes in, but if you are ever feeling lost or in doubt, ask somebody! The Commanding Officer, First Officer and your mentor are all there and will happily bounce some ideas around with you.
