This page tries to offer a wealth of information on how to be a player with the Embassy group. The website and the wiki offers a wealth of IC info about the Embassy setting and the Star Trek Universe, but hopefully this page can act as your first port of call when you have a question on being a player or what to do!

This can be quite an amusing read. You'll see what we inherited from our friends accross the fleet and perhaps be able to reflect on how our sims and the details in them compare to their original ideas. Perhaps you could even bring back a forgotten idea and get it into one of your posts to make that dream become a reality.

* Stay within PG13 but push the boundaries of what we explore in your sims. Theres no reason we cannot have disabled characters,  homosexual characters or even extremist characters. Likewise, our writing should explore the issues that affect societies -damaging the environment, poverty, war, drug use etc etc. Anything we see in the news would likely make an aspect of Laundean society worth exploring.

* Do not be afraid to seek out new ways of simming or offer an original of looking at the Star Trek universe. Everyone can have an idea and its up to Ensigns and Lt.Jg to lead a mission on in its plot just as much as a LT.Cmdr.

Sometimes a player's RL commitments mean that they remain excellent high quality writers but in a mission environment they can not always keep up with pace and feel bad for holding people up with replies.

Going Part-Time is not a handcuff though. Come each "shoreleave" (or point at the end of a main mission,) Part-Time players will get a chance to volunteer for the next mission and return to full-time with the crew. Or they can choose remain at the Embassy on a PT basis. For example, if a player suddenly has exams coming up in the next month or if they're off on holiday with only internet-cafe access then then they can take a step back for a few weeks.

Those Part Timer (henceforth referred to as PT) remaining at the Embassy will therefore be able to continue simming at a slower rate without holding up an actual mission. Our planet based Embassy setting allows for something exciting: contrary to what might usually be the case with being a PT.

If you ask to be a PT then you are actually taking on an important responsibility: You will be tasked with exploring the Laundeans, their society, their history -everyday life. In essence your mission is to write a sim that explores an aspect of Duronis II or Laundean society. And you write it as and when  your RL time permits.
If you ask to be a PT then you are actually taking on an important responsibility: You will be tasked with exploring the Laudeans, their society, their history -everyday life. In essence your mission is to write a sim that explores an aspect of Duronis II or Laudean society. And you write it as and when  your RL time permits.


To give you an example, Lt.Cmdr Jenkins (a made up person,) has been playing with the UFoP for nearly 4 years and is a great writer who has ties to the Embassy group and other players there; she does not want to quit and won't transfer. But she has to revise for exam and work 40 hour weeks and cannot keep up with the mission pace. So she take on her PT embassy based role. What I expect from her (and other players in that situation,) is that when she writes a sim it should not just be about her pottering about the Embassy complex but it should go and explore the Duronis II setting seperate from the mission... so for example she could go shopping round a market in Lokesh or she could go witness a coven or she could meet an old man and talk about what life on Duronis II was like before the revolution!

In establishing a planet based sim we have done something new. But the novelty need not end there. In addition to running our regular missions, we sometimes like to try out a new way of simming within the standard format accepted for our usual mission.

Although most are missions are traditional, so far we've done two kinds of things to make a mission a little diferent. The first was a Murder Mystery in which we suprised everyone with the death of a main character. Each member of our crew was then e-mailed (in a direct OOC) a set of three clues pointing to the culprit. Alone these clues were useless but once the crew all shared their clues by writing them into their sims then they could work together and it became a solvable murder mystery that everyone strove to solve.

The other new mission we did was insert a diferent type of puzzle into a sim. The crew could only overcome the obstacle blocking their mission once a player completed the puzzle and included their solution in their sim

These are the suspects:
*Captain Rocar Drawoh  Hilzarie - [had access to room]
*Elaine Furlong’s Ex-Husband - [had access to room]
*Lt.Cmdr. Aiowyn Shartara - (Although not a Captain, had access to room because she is Rocar’s PA)
*The Laudean Scientists - still in the Embassy at the time of death (could they have been in the room?) i.e. Prof Quasimalda, Dr. Kalahari and Dr. Noree
*Lt.Jg. Webb - (Closest friend of Furlong, could he have been in the room)


- Captain Rocar Drawoh  Hilzarie    [had access to room]
NB: These are the ONLY suspects... the murderer is definitely one of the above so please do not accuse anyone else –for example if a set of clues happens to point to Cmdr Sheriden it is a coincidence. You should only look for clues that point towards one of these characters above and equally clues that prove it could not have been them!

You will shortly each receive three details regarding the murder. These three pieces of information must be incorporated into your sim. It is up to you how you do this –for example you may send each detail in a separate sim, or you may choose to sim both details at once. You may also decide to reveal only half a detail and then reveal the second half of that detail in your next sim.

You may also decide to reveal only half a detail and then reveal the second half of that detail in your next sim.


You may elaborate on details. For example if you receive: “1. On the night of the murder you were in the bar drinking with Rocar till 8pm” then you must convey that, however you can speculate on this detail and it is up to you what you drank/talked about/ your mood/ why you left etc.

You should volunteer your pieces of information through dialogue in your sim –for example simming your character going up to one of the security officers and telling them something you feel is significant. Likewise, if someone tells you something that doesn’t quite make sense you should ask everyone else if they know anything else.  Eg. If Lt. Johnson tells you “She was murdered using the Andorian death grip,” then you may ask if anyone knows what an “Andorian death grip is?”

You are all detectives as we at the Embassy wish to catch the murderer ASAP. Your pieces of information will make little sense on their own –but once combined with other peoples clues they should point clearly to the murderer. In a week and a half/ 2 weeks (or before depending on how quick we sim our details,) Rocar will call a meeting in the conference room and you each have to say who your character’s investigation has led you to believe is the guilty culprit.

Don’t hold back…feel free to get right in and start simming your clues to one another –its up to you how, could be anything from an official report after visiting the crime scene to just gossiping about it with other characters in the corridors!

Ever watched Star Trek V and thought "hold on they've past that deck twice now" when Spock and Kirk fly up the turbolift? Or perhaps been confused in Star Trek First Contact when the number of decks on the Enterprise changes from 24 to 26?

Most of us don't notice these things, but those that do get irritated by them. So even if Paramount cannot remember how many decks a ship has from one page of script to another...we should at least try to do better and get continuancy in our sims.

Being planet based its very important to know who our "adversaries" and "friends" are. After your own character's race then you should know the most about Laundeans, Romulans and Zalkonians.

The Embassy section details Laundean culture and society. For example did you know their is a traditional Laundean form of greeting (equivalent to a handshake)? When you sim a Laundean its nice to include these little details and they can be found on the wiki.

The [[ma:Romulan|Romulans]] are known well enough. Part of the joys of our setting is that we get recurring characters eg Senator Or'Lok the Romulan Ambassador. Or like Gul Dukat in DS9 our recurring reman villan D'Vreoux.

Again, when simming a romulan character its nice to include as much little details as possible! Maybe the odd Romulan word or a romulan game they like playing or eating a canon Star Trek romulan food.

The [[Zalkonians]] are diferent all together. Once again, theres very little canon stuff on them so you have free artistic license to make it up. This is a diferent kind of simming to simming the romulans who have such a wealth of canon facts at your disposal.

Do however bear in mind things we already established about them in previous sims (for example that the Zalkonians are a Suzerainty or that they're socially inept and slightly xenophobic) and of course the canon facts,

You'll see from the above article that some Zalkonians are evolving into to non-corporeal life-forms. But you must remember that the Zalkonian people were frightened by those undergoing the change and their government began exterminating anyone showing symptoms. As such a member of the Zalkonian delegation would not be walking around and have omniprent powers/ be turning non-corporeal.

For the sake of the sim we say none of these kind of Zalkonians are on Duronis II. Remember, in the UFoP you can not play these kind of races (eg a Q) and so your Zalkonian characters must adhere to that rule.
