===When | ===When and How to Post=== | ||
The Gorkon's posting requirements are the same as the fleet's full-time requirements: All full-time writers are required to post three times per week, which comes out to at least twelve times per month. Twelve or more of those sims should be for your primary character (PC), a mission-specific NPC (MSNPC), and/or a mission-relevant personal NPC (PNPC). You should feel free to write for and maintain as many personal NPCs (PNPCs) as you'd like, but simming for PNPCs or NPCs that aren't directly related to the mission or its subplots may not count toward your full-time status if you find yourself relying upon them. Bear in mind, too, that twelve sims per month is a baseline requirement, and full-time simming by itself does not guarantee that you'll receive your next promotion or position advancement. | The Gorkon's posting requirements are the same as the fleet's full-time requirements: All full-time writers are required to post three times per week, which comes out to at least twelve times per month.

===Posting Times=== | |||
We strongly encourage everyone on the Gorkon to wait for at least 36 to 48 hours before posting once more. This provides the people you've tagged a fair chance to participate in the plot and advance the narrative. Our policy is intended to make sure that you have enough time to write for your 12 sims each month in order to be regarded as full-time. Feel free to post again if everyone replies within an hour, though. We also advise members not to resolve major story twists too quickly and to give other crew members a chance to respond or resolve them before finishing things up. | |||
If you find yourself simming with someone who doesn't respond within three or more days, there are a few options to consider. If there's no one else in the scene to respond to you, you can write another post and tag someone else. If it's a group setting and only one person is missing, it's okay to continue with the rest of the group and leave their tags open. They can always catch up later when they're available. We understand that life can get in the way of our fun, so it's perfectly acceptable to move on. | |||
