'''Back | '''Back tags''' are tags for responses left for a player after they have already progressed past that point in the story. For instance, you are starting a sim and realize you would really like adding a boarding party being detected in the middle of your sim; however, the player action has already progressed past the point such an incursion would be detected and responded to. Adding the plot element, and then tagging the appropriate officers for a response would be a back tag. Back tags lead to a myriad of problems: tags get lost by players not looking to 'go back', it sets up situations where players' future actions don't match previous events, and they can cause players to need to write extra-long posts to include both the 'back tags' and future events. | ||
Each sim, whatever its quality and whatever its content, is, by necessity, sacred. Only under extremely rare circumstances will a sim be revoked or wholly changed. Minor details or mistakes can be corrected, but unless a sim features something so outrageous or unacceptable that the mission cannot continue with its inclusion, it must remain. Adding backtags fundamentally changes what other writers have written, and are thus disruptive. Please do not include back tags. If there is a mistake in a sim that must be corrected, speak to the command staff, or speak to the writer that made the error, or, depending on the situation, role with it. | Each sim, whatever its quality and whatever its content, is, by necessity, sacred.
