Kelrod

Well, once you apply to participate in the group and once you're assigned to one of the simming groups it should be pretty quick. However I'm not a part of the admin group, so if I'm wrong someone correct me.

Hello Jonathan, thanks for trying UFOP:SB118. First of all I'd like to say that working on a submarine it's an awesome job, not easy and, in a sense, is like being on a starship (or in RL like in the ISS. Secondly, congratulations on your future fatherhood, it'll be an awesome adventure. In case we get on the same ship, don't hesitate to drop me a line. I'll be happy to chat with you and help you anyway I can.

Welcome Felderburg, I hope that you enjoy your time here with us. I was also a pen and paper player back in the day when I joined this group. after trying first another one and had to deal with the amazing players and writing in English (my main language is Spanish). However this group embraced me and if you give it time, you'll be delighted with it. I hope to see you soon with us and maybe, sim with you in the near future.

Hello and welcome to a place full of adventures and a challenge for your imagination. I play Commander Kelrod on the USS Veritas and I hope that you have a great time with us.

Regarding Trills is a tricky species to play with. As I understand, the age to enter the academy is a minimum age, and that depends on the species. So, it'll be possible for your character to remain on Trill, preparing to become a host, passing all the required tests and then become joined. Once joined, your character could decide to enter the academy, so, you can state that when your character entered the academy she or he was like. 22, 23, 24, 25... whatever the age you feel comfortable with. Of course, sharing classes with younger cadets could have it's pros and cons, so you'll be able to make an interesting bio about the academy years once you're assigned to a ship and feel comfortable within the group so you can expand your bio with as many details as you want to. I hope this helped you.

Glad to see you're still around looking over us. Miss you too!

Welcome to Starbase 118. Just tell you that I've been around for about fourteen years and still enjoying it. I hope to see you around on any of our ships!

Hi Kate, I play Commander Kelrod, I'm happy to have you with us and I'm eager to see you moving through the fleet and hope to sim with you someday.

Hello Seb, welcome to 118. I'm sure that you'll have a lot of fun here, as I've been having the last 14 years or so. I was once on Narbone and Carcassone and I'm planning to visit Montpellier if not this autumm, maybe next summer as I live in Catalonia (Spain) so it's pretty near. I'm also on STO but barely have time to play, so I only get online from time to time. If you need something or have doubts, aside from your CO, FO and crewmates, you can get to me and I'll help you as best as I can. Bon nuit mon amí.

Welcome Travis and Julien. I'm eager to see you in action simming.

Glad that you made it back Matt. See you around in simming or on the forums.

Welcome Kasper! It's funny that you just came up with a Cameo from Kate Mulgrew on Murder She Wrote, because just today I've seen her in an episode of Orange is the new Black. As Traenor said, the cameos of Star Trek stars, supporting roles or their other films and series through their careers is astounding.

Hello guest, I'm glad that you've took an interest in our group and your questions are appropiate, so don't worry about asking anything you need to know. I've been a player of this group for about fourteen years and I'd like to ease some of your concerns, leaving a more detailed and official answer to someone else with more knowledge and proper explanation. First of all, tell you that English is no my main language so forgive me if something sounds strange or there's any error. About your question 1: You don't have to share nothing of your personal information (besides the e-mail that you'll use to play in our community, if that could be considered personal because you can use an e-mail exclusively for the game as I do) About the Privacy policy I'll leave that for someone of high staff. About your question 2: You don't have to tie your mail to your real persona. For example, I use dickens.marcus@gmail.com and this is not my real name. I might have shared my birthday but that's not exactly sensitive information, in my opinion. That said, you're free to share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable with. Of course we tend to avoid using full names, but sometimes, when confidence is built, we might share our first name as we address each other, but that's only if you want to. I'll leave questions 3 and 4 for others to answer as it involves some aspect of the group that I can't answer without asking the EC or the CC. FltAdm. Wolf will be the best person to answer that About question 5, it varies from month to month, depending of people real life issues and commitments. As you've surely read, the minimum required to be considered full time simmer is three posts a week or twelve a month, but if you feel very inspired and/or have the time, anything above that is fine, while it allows people to get time to answer/reply to your posts and tags and let enough room for others to develop the story/plot and their characters. Well, enough for now, I hope I've eased some of your concerns and will leave anyone else to answer your questions, either rectifying or confirming my answers and giving you the ones for questions three and four. From someone who had been here many years, I hope that you finally join us and to share this experience with you either simming or through the forums.
