In the end, it was an interesting and exciting Science Mission.

NOTIFICATION OF GRADUATION: This is official notification that AdmiralMiller has demostrated sufficient skills to warrent graduation of the Saturday Midnight Academy under the direction of STSF Sovak and STSF Jorlis. This Cadet has demonstrated the following principals: Followed the mission briefing. Watched for action commands posted by the GM and role-played an appropriate response. Worked with other departments to accomplish the mission brief in a realistic manner. Worked with other members of his department. Followed the chain of command and showed respect the Command Staff. Performed the responsibilities of his position to complete the task in a realistic manner. He has demonstrated the abiltiy to be a productive member of the advanced sims in STSF.

Welcome, LoAmi. May your journey be a fulfilling one.

I have been absent from this month's weekend sims because of a recent Halloween gig I am doing at a local theme park. I've been working the past six weekends as Digger, the Used Coffin Salesman. It's been great fun, although very tiring. (I really bury myself in my work)

While we encourage creativity and enjoy insightful posting on our boards, long signatures that contain multiple quotes, and/or other comments can become distracting to our readers, as they are repeated at the end of every post you make to the board. Therefore, the board administrators reserve the right to edit signatures to a reasonable length. Thank you,

Done

To answer your question, they never really gave us a clear reason as to why they closed the rooms. They decided, when they redesigned the website, that running full time chat rooms was something they did not wish to do any more. They did send a us a warning, so we had time to set up our own, and told us that they might (operative word here is "Might") bring them back after an undetermined time. Running our own rooms is working out well, however. And as long as they keep sending new folks here from their site, I don't see a problem with it. I don't wish to demean the folks at Paramount in any way. They have every right to decide what kind of content they want on their site, and have been very cooperative with us. All indications are that they will continue to be. If you wish to help, be sure to post to their boards, how happy you are that they still include STSF's link, as it gives all of you a place to sim and chat, and that those things are important to you as fans.

What Webbie says is correct. We have a close working relationship with StarTrek.com and work with them to obtain the advertisements and links to our site from theirs. At one time we actually used the rooms at startrek.com to run our sims, but they discontinued the public rooms at their site, so we started our own rooms here. Hope that answers your question!

I think the orignal post said you were to give the REASON for your choice. That makes it entertaining. Just making a choice and asking for another is too much like spamming for my taste, and for my "topic closing" button, OK?

1950 Art Deco toaster I found one, bless my pointed ears.

I don't watch them much, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd say "All My Children" :)

Welcome to GMhood Sketti. (May God have mercy on you soul).

I never got into B5 myself, because it got to "soap operish". That is, someone who watches the show only occassionally, and who was unfamiliar with the major characters or plot line, didn't have much clue as to what was going on. One day I turned it on and the Commander of the station had changed! I never watched it much after that. In contrast, STNG had engaging story lines that, for the most part, conluded in an hour. If you missed a show or three, you weren't lost in the story line. That having been said, I voted for SG1, not for the above reason, as anyone can use the same argument against this show, but because I love the interaction between the characters. Richard Dean Anderson has made Colonel (Now General) O'Neill into a much more interesting character than Kurt Russel ever did. And Amanda Tapping is one of my favorite actresses. Major (Now Colonel) Carter is an interesting character as well. SG1 producers took a chance that an attractive woman who is also super smart, as well as can occasionally kick some major butt, would be a viable character. If you recall, Gene Rodenberry tried the same thing in the TOS original pilot, with Majel Barrett cast as the first officer, and was shot down by the producers. Anyway, I have come to enjoy the show. I've watched the Atlantis episodes, so far, and am beginning to warm to it, for many of the same reasons. David Hewlett's character, Dr. Rodney McKay, is particularly engaging. (And the actor is also a self-proclaimed computer nerd in RL). As time goes on we'll see how the series goes.

I agree with A9. We are not restrictive to subjects on the board, as long as they are tasteful (i.e. PG rated), friendly (no character bashing) and stay on track. We'll shut down topics that go off topic, or degenerate into harrassment. Other than that, all subjects are welcome!

To STSF Personnel Officer: This is to inform you that CDT._Dustin_Marks has graduated from the Saturday Midnight Academy on SD 0408.15 Congratulations Ensign! Good job! Sincerely, Admiral Sovak Captain Jcin STSF Jorls STSF Midnight Academy

I bought the movie on VHS, and have almost worn it out. And I still laugh at that part every single time! My wife looks at me funny, wondering why I still laugh at it after seeing it about 3 dozen times. Glad to know someone else gets it, Blu! (Or is as nutty as I am!)

Yes! Thank you all so much for making us the premier sim group for Star Trek enthusiasts. We could not do it without you!

Acedemies are for learning, so don't worry that you may have "ruined" it. The XO spot is a tough one to play, because he interactes with all the departments heads, and reports to the CO, all while trying to play a character, himself. He gives orders to officers on the bridge, even though the Captain is present, so he almost has to be a mind reader, so he doesn't give orders that contradict his CO's wishes. His job is to anticipate the CO's directives, and be ready to have his officers carry them out, all while maintaining duty rosters, leading Away Teams, and keeping all the paperwork done, and gathering all the creative ideas from the crew and relaying them to the Captain, so the Captain can have his moment of glory when he dramatically raises his fingers and says "Make it so", like HE had thought of it all! :P

Cell phone. I was late in getting one. I fall into the same catagory as most otheres: saw no need for one, but now wouldn't be without it.

I've been a computer gamer for years. I love adventure type games, and the latest online games in which you figure out and perform quests in whatever venue the manufacturer has set, are very enjoyable to me. Sure, they take some time, but I love the graphical environment. Now, if we can figure out a way to incorporate STSF with a Star Wars Galaxy type interface, I would be in Seventh Heaven! If they could figure out a way to do the interface, and still maintain GM driven plots, combining the best of both worlds, that is. I just got an X-Box for my birthday, and I haven't tried any of the on-line games yet, for it, but I do like cooperative games, where a team of players go after some goal, while they develop their characters.
