Command staff will set the stage for large plots in the form of a mission briefing or some such. The plot evolves one step at a time and eventually concludes gracefully. The plot may actually travel quite far from the original idea which is only natural when everyone contributes. | ||

The character also should be active on board his current ship for at least a period of 60 days. However, a CO and FO may determine that period not long enough for the player, and choose a longer time period. | ||

A Lieutenant Commander to be sims 3-4 sims a week continuous, and posts quality sims, which means detailed sims with multiple paragraphs, motivating and including as many other simmers possible. He or she also shows leadership by sacrificing their own role in the plot to encourage others to sim. For example, they may allow their primary character to be injured or detained to give their fellow simmers impetuous to sim. When faced with a chance to solve the entire mission they will leave others a chance to assist. To become a Lieutenant Commander the Lieutenant must be willing to reach out to new simmers in their sims; perhaps with something as simple as doing a welcome aboard conversation sim. He, or she, will also participate not only with fleet OOC projects, but also with multiple ship administration and OOC projects/tasks. | ||
