Freaking awesome!!! It turned out sooo good!

Greetings,

In order to give you a more satisfying, rich and fun roleplaying event, jsamuel24, chemkarate and myself are creating a process that will better facilitate roleplaying. While we work on this, the event as it happens now is postponed until we have the new system in place.

Here are some ideas on how the new system will be approached:

1.) The Captain, First Officer and other Senior Officers will have to apply for the positions, filling out a small application form that details their roleplaying experience. People in these roles need to have experience as they will be more of the driving force during the event and people with less experience will work as officers within particular departments under the experienced officers. This means that these officers will be in the same position each week and if they are not present, a junior officer can step up and roleplay why they are filling in for the senior officer.

2.) We will create major story ideas each week which will be presented in the roleplay and discussed with the Captain and Bridge Officers before the event so they know what will happen. This is to create a more structured and creative event. As it is now, things can get chaotic.

3.) We are creating a list of rules that will act as a guide when RPing so less experienced members are not doing inappropriate things that drastically affect others or the story itself. Junior officers would need to seek the approval in PM from the Captain, chemkarate, jsamuel24 or myself before introducing a major element in the RP that would affect everyone.

So there you have it...we just want to make your RP event less chaotic, more structured, more fun...and we'll have it to you as soon as possible!!

Peace and long life,

T'Laris Nechayev@bradley1701

Just something fun :)

What do you think? I am tempted to try it out but I use my keyboard, not mouse, for ship movement.



It is usually $9.99 but it is on sale until tomorrow night.

Well this goes nicely with my plans to enter the Airforce in 2-3 years as an officer ;) ...

And for my dating cute, openly gay / bi soldiers. xD (as opposed to those who were forced to have "discreet" relationships because of the DADT)

"It should also be noted that the current Republican governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the Democratic attorney general, Jerry Brown, are refusing to defend Proposition 8 in court. I find it hilarious that that a Republican governor is showing more leadership on LGBT rights than our Democratic president."

Actually, not surprising at all. Arnold is married to Maria Shriver who is from the Kennedy family...long time Democratic roots there! Even though Arnie says he's Republican, I bet he feels the heat at home from his wife and family-in-law ;)

This is why it is wonderful to live in a country like Canada where our head of state is non-partisan (the Queen) and our government cannot over-rule constitutional decisions of the Supreme Court without invoking a not-withstanding-clause which has never been done and would most certainly invoke civil war (because the clause can void any section of our charter of rights and freedoms) hahaha When our courts told the government to change it's ways within 6 months regarding same sex marriage...it was done, written in stone and laid to rest. Parliament did have a final vote though to pass it, which was more of a formality.

He was a Constitutional Law professor, so unless he somehow decides that the don't ask don't tell rule isn't actually unconstitutional, I doubt he'll try to appeal it.

It should also be noted that under Obama, the DOJ has not only appealed repeals of DADT, but I believe it is also appealing the recent repeal of sections of DOMA. The appeals have absolutely nothing to do with the constitutionality and everything to do with politics. By taking the "sorry, the DOJ has to defend everything" approach, Obama is passing the buck for the blame. This also falls in line with his continued failure to take a leadership role with regard to LGBT rights. Even on those acts currently in Congress, such as the repeal of DADT and passing an Employment Non-Discrimination Act, Obama has done practically nothing after requesting them in his State of the Union. It's appalling that both of those are stalled in a Congress where the Democrats control both houses.

It should also be noted that the current Republican governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the Democratic attorney general, Jerry Brown, are refusing to defend Proposition 8 in court. I find it hilarious that that a Republican governor is showing more leadership on LGBT rights than our Democratic president.

I will be voting for people like Jerry Brown (who is running for CA governor) and Barbara Boxer (who is running for CA senate) because they take are taking energetic, active leadership roles on these issues. It is looking very likely like I will be abstaining with regard to the presidential vote come 2012.

I watched the pilot episode and wasn't that impressed and a long time after I watched the second episode and enjoyed it. I always planned to watch more but just never did.

It's still very much on my to do list.

I watched the pilot and wasn't too impressed. Now where near as good as BSG. Has it gotten much better in the later episodes?

could only catch a little of the first but absolutely loved the second. xD

(I noticed a distinct lack of "wayaye" in the list in the first post, though I must admit that I only associate it with Geordies because of people impersonating Geordies. xD )
