Sim Scheduling

[Dray McKenna 0]

I was thinking about the last few academy sims that I've participated in and one thing that I've been wanting to inquire about is the possible extension of the alotted sim time on a sim by sim basis. In other words - many times the sim plots are so deep and involved that we do not have enough time to complete the sim. I think that if at least some of the participants are able to continue on simming ( or at least enough to realistically continue the sim without everyone having to simultaneously run an npc ) and at least one of the GM's was willing to continue monitoring.. maybe after the "Sim Pause" the GM could advise whomever needed to depart could do so at that time and then establish who is willing to stay and continue the sim. This was just a thought and I wanted to run it by everyone and see if anyone agreed or not. Any thoughts? :D

Dray,

 

We hear this request time and again, and understand that it can be frustrating when an academy sim does not come to a firm conclusion. However, academy sims are usually "one night stands" used for teaching and training; they are not meant to be run like advanced simulations, which plots may run for several months.

 

That said, if there is a desire on the part of the regular academy attendees and the GMs are in agreement, an academy plot may be extended from one week to the next, but this is not usually the case.

 

So, if you feel that you enjoyed a particular plot and would like it continued the next week, the best thing is to bring it up with the academy GMs and see if it is possible.

 

Hope this helps.

Okay. I figured I wasn't the only one to ask about this. Thanks for the reply Jami :D
