Sim Improvement

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Any ideas on improving the sim, anybody?
This could include Episode writing, roleplaying styles, adding/deleting rules and general things about the sim.
In other words, anything you might have to suggest for for sim, direct it here.

Just, everybody needs to post in the same style as far as third person goes.

that pretains to me only to stop that tom...

Toms not that bad!
You could mabye try and get lots of unexpected twists that really move the course of the mission

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Well, it all depends on who's directing the episode. Most of the serialized episodes will be directed by admin, but some of the stand alones could be fronted by a person.

Well as far as i'm concerned I agree with Tom tottaly, but I still think to be fair what we could do is say to your Rudger, you have to speak third person if the 'director' ants you to speak that way, if they don't mind like in the admin episodes or whatever then it doesn't matter, I think thats a fair comprimise.

What do you guys think?

[Rudger McVanlen]

no...i like my story telling... i almost always do first person... i know!! you should all switch to first person aswell!! how bout that!

Quoting a famous Vulcan; "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

It's not a big deal, but 3rd person is most encouraged.

May we move on?

[zepplin]

yes we may, I'd just like to say Rudger, that I'll modify your posts to 3rd if i'm directing it... also, I think based on GMT, we should all confirm a time that is suitable for everyone, like once a week on maybe a sunday for me which is a saturday in america, so we can all come on at the same time and post in the mission board, it would be really good and we could move the story from start to end almost if we all stay on for like an hour or two!

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

That would be great. Im Pacific time (GM -8) and right now its 7:45 PM, on Tuesday. If your clock has been set correctly on the board, the time this message has been sent will be the time difference.

I'm free most of saturday, except at 4 in the afternoon, when I got for Rush Tribute band practice (12:00 Saturday-Sunday for Greenwich time)

[zepplin]

well... is it acutally possible to throw times around? I think someone needs to do calc (dont worry I'll do it), just say what times our available (usually) and I'll do the maths to figure out the best period for most of us

ex (as in my times, all should be based on GMT +0 for simplicity, just add or subtract respectivly)

Saturday 10pm - 12am
6am - 1pm

now thats pretty flexible and its reasonable for people at GMT, however, add or subtract and you'll find it may be very good in your timezone.

And ofcourse, it wouldn't be al of those times, just put the hour periods you 'can' work in and then I'll sort out the rest from there, I tihnk 1.5-2.5 hours is a good time period to stay on if it all works out... this is being posted in its own thread too, so please post your time slots there... (its called time slots)

[Will Litchfield]

A Cbox could be a good idea

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

I can do your 10-12 PM Saturday thing, but I can only do 10-1130. Guitar comes up after that.

Skipper, thats the other post...
