    This is normal for us, when are there not crew member making very bad decisions? I personally make at least 3 really bad decisions before breakfast. @Jania Nis

    I love it when we get to the awards, and I love that we do it differenly every single time it comes around at the end of shore leave. Sometimes we go for a really intimate one on one, or one on two scenes and sometimes we get the whole ship involved. This time around we are going for the latter. Awards are also a great time for you to do a audit of who you have simmed with and who is left to reach out to and start a scene. They are also a great time to layout what your characters relationship is with each individual character and maybe even set up some future plot lines. Today, @Morro Caras does that masterfully. I knew, right away, who was important to Morro, I learned more about Morro's background and what these awards means to him.

    This...is a good promise to make @Karen Stendhal Maybe we need @Josh Herrick to try this too.😂

    This entire sequence just lined up beautifully, I was cackling as I read the final part of this. @Avander Promontory @Morro Caras @Kimonzi Lahl

    You're too kind to us Tony ❤️ We had so much writing this.

    @Karen Stendhal comic timing was perfect, especially after Lhandon didn't have tbe words to express his gratitude at the moment.

    Today, I made Lieutenant, but I wouldn’t have gotten there if it wasn’t for both my former mentor, @VLen Kel, when we were back on the Oumumuma, and my newer mentor, @Avander Promontory . Both have been sources of inspiration for me throughout my time here so far and have put up with all of my half-baked ideas and crazy schemes, helping me to find some semblance of sense in them, plan out my long-term storylines, and just being around when I need them. You're support and encouragement have been second to none and I feel like I have my own cheerleading team hyping Special shout out to @Alora DeVeau @Erik Johnson and @Josh Herrick who have been a mega source of support. They are three people who I often lean on or share the first draft of my ideas with. They have both had to put up with my shenanigans and been pulled into God knows how many schemes I’ve come up with. But more than that, I'm proud to call you all my friends. You folks rock, and I love you all. Right, that's enough sappy stuff, I'm now going to go back to writing some angsty teen drama that would air on the CW network.

    This is the perfect time for V'Airu to appear....please make it happen @Tony, aka Rouiancet I beg of thee.

    You have got to watch out for these troublemakers, they are up to something, leave them alone too long and they'll plan meetings...and even *gasps* pranks. Those senior officers are going to get themselves into trouble, mark my words. Damned youths old folks. @Avander Promontory

    There are a number of ways to mourn a friendship, nay, a brotherhood between two people that has imploded. While Lhandon has found his other friends and worked out his anger on the punching bag, @Erik Johnson's PC Toxin Arlill, takes a different approach. The stark contrast between the scenes tells its own story. I'll link Maxwell's sim from that scene here, so you can see the contrast yourself. This friendship between Arlill and Nilsen has been a cornerstone in each other's lives for over a year. They called each other brother and they held together the Operations department on both the Oumuamua and Octavia E Butler. They did so much together, they raced in the Denali Invitational, they constructed the new Operations Centres together and they even knew each other's families. And now that's gone up in smoke. This sim...even though I'm involved in this story and I knew that Erik was cooking, made me want to reach through the screen and hug Arlill. Erik is a phenomenal writer, and don't worry, we haven't fallen out IRL.

    @Avander Promontory wondering when the paperwork will end. It's part of the reason we don't punch the incompetent admirals that showed up in TNG and DS9. It's less paperwork to deal with a major diplomatic innocent then it is to deal with the assault of an Admiral.

    What started as a simple NPC they rescued in a sim developed into the most beautiful narrative of two family members connecting for the first time while living apart. Patty, the simmer behind Dr. Toz and the new NPC Barney Nilsen, has made me cry. She took bits of Gault lore that I wrote MONTHS AGO and brought them back, crafting a backstory for Barney that is a pleasure to sim with and creating someone who I just wanted to reach through the laptop screen and give the biggest hug. Patty, thank you so much for expanding the lore of Nilsen's and expanding the lore of Gault!!! I can't quite wrangle the Google group to highlight everything (ignore the T'Larn sim) but you can see the threads of where Barney started and the MASTERCLASS Patty has given up in character development and taking the time to pace that from their very first introduction! https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-butler/search?q=Barney Nilsen @Toz

    @Morro Caras clutching the pearls in this scene 😂

    Sherlock's worst nightmare...this is pure perfection. I can't think of a better place than the Nilsen Alternative Universe. @Karen Stendhal smashing that 4th wall down like a wrecking ball.

    Lhando would sign that transfer for Eli in a heartbeat. @Josh Herrick
  21. Lhandon_Nilsen
    Ah yes, that's what ensigns are for...research @Avander Promontory

    I don't know much about rugby either. Google is my friend in this. I've learnt a lot about the sport since writing for Lhandon. It's also had the (and I'm not complaining about this) side effect of filling my tiktok feed up with rugby players.

    Lhandon right now is this gif @Morro Caras

    *cough* Thomas Riker *cough* Don't worry. I think everything turned out fine for him. @Josh Herrick
  25. Lhandon_Nilsen
    There are two things I want to highlight. First, seeing someone blow something up after you've simulated it for them is a most wonderful feeling. I hope you enjoyed the boom too Second, I just want to reach out and hug Morro. @Morro Caras (Vio) has been building this internal struggle throughout our mission, a chip on the shoulder convinced that he’s just going to be used by Starfleet. Making the reader really feel sorry for the (former) pirate is a skill that few simmers could pull off. Then, Vio takes the sim in a direction that lets us all start to resolve this act (the end of the mission is in sight) but doesn’t dictate how we should resolve it. It’s a careful balance that again, is hard to pull off Also, we still might all die, so there's that going for us too.
