Activity has begun to pick up again around here, and we wanted everyone to know that we’re currently working on an entirely new website! Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more information. In the meantime, you may be interested in checking-out our new Twitter feed! View the full article

Glad to have you!

Approximately once a week, usually on a Monday, writers new to our group begin a fast-paced, week-long introduction to the way we write in UFoP: Starbase 118. Its a chance for them to get acclimated to the fleet by learning our formatting and style, while also allowing the rising officers in the fleet to gain[.....] View the full article

Are there two people who REALLY want to take over administration of this? Requires setting up the bi-weekly threads, moving sims around, making sure it gets announced on the site news, etc....

Congratulations to Jhen Thelev ("The Mystery of Lengdis VIII"), this round's winner! Our runner up is Della Vetri ("Memories of Fate"). Thanks to Nemitor for getting the results announced, as well

Glad to have you!

For more information, including the rules and contest calendar, please see the Top Sims Contest website. *Note* If you're submitting a sim, please use the name of the author's primary character -- not the "NPC" name, if applicable. Important Dates: - Round 3 Submission period opens: Mo 03-16 - Round 3 Submission period closes: Su 03-29 - Round 3 Voting period opens: Mo 03-30 - Round 3 Voting period closes: Su 04-12 Procedure: 1. Submit sims (from your ship, or another ship -- all sims welcome, member or staff) 2. Rate sims you see in this forum 3. Vote on sims submitted in the last round Notes: - Please find a balance between "too much" and "too little" on the submission end of this contest. Don't submit every post from your crew. But I DO encourage everyone to submit at least one post to the contest whenever they can. Last week there were approximately 300 sims in the fleet - an average of 40 a day. I would expect no more than five or six a day to be considered "Top Sim" contest worthy. - REMEMBER: This is NOT a popularity contest. We welcome submissions of your crewmate's sims, but ALL sims should be rated based on their MERIT, and NOT the fact that someone is your crewmate. Any crews found "stuffing the ballots" or ratings, will be disqualified PERMANENTLY - yes, that means the whole crew. - Want your crewmates to win more? Nominate only the best sims, and encourage higher quality sims!

Please use this thread for any general discussion or questions about the Top Sims Contest. Please do not post praise or criticism for submitted sims in this thread. Instead, post those praise or criticisms in the submitted sim's own thread.

Please choose one sim. This round of voting only qualifies one sim to be part of the final round of voting for the title of "Top Sim, 2009." Link: - Round 2 Sims REMEMBER: This is NOT a popularity contest. Vote based on MERIT, not the fact that someone is your crewmate. Any crews found "stuffing the ballots" or ratings, will be disqualified PERMANENTLY - yes, that means the whole crew.

Please use the proper format for posting sims, otherwise the sim will not be accepted into the challenge. TITLE: Sim heading SUB-TITLE: Writer's primary character

"Preparations" by Quinn Reynolds & Walter Brunsig eeks by with the Final Rounds of 2008 win. "The Man, The Mystery" by Danny Wilde & Karynn Ehlanii wins Round 1 of 2009. Their sims will now be entered into the final round of the year for the chance at the title of Top Sim, 2009. Congratulations to them!

Congratulations to our winner, Nemitor Atimen ("Only One Constant"). There is no runner-up this round. Next challenge will probably begin this next weekend!

Welcome to the fleet!
