Hello everyone

[Cay 0]

Hi there,

 

I'm not exactly new to simming, but I'm new to this sim. Means I have to learn using a different chat program, different abbreviations and different ways of formatting. But I think it went quite well at my first academy sim yesterday. I feel I have to learn all the Trek language anew as English is not my first language and I've never simmed in English before. Reminds me of my beginnings in Star Trek sim when memory-alpha was my best friend. :)

 

So, enough ranting, back to topic:

 

I'm new and hope I'll have fun here. It started off well, BUT I live in a different time zone and 9pm ET is in the middle of the night here. I usually stay up long and as college student / working shifts, I am frequently still awake around that time anyway, but I'm not sure yet if I can do this on a regular basis.

 

As for the academy this should not be a problem, and then I'll see if it works. :)

Memory Alpha is indeed the Simmers best friend.

 

Welcome to STSF! We've had a few Players from different time zones, so just give the site a try and see if it works out for you Cay. Our Sims/games are varied and represent most of the Trek TV shows and movies, so whatever sort of Star Trek you prefer, you'll be able to locate a Sim that agrees with you.

 

See you around the galaxy and probably in the academies as well! Have fun!

Welcome to STSF! Glad you decided to check us out.

 

As Cale mentioned, we have lots of people from all different time zones here so just have a look round and see what works for you, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. :)

 

See you in the acads!

Oh wow...another European! Don't worry too much about the language "issue". My first language is German and before I came here I had never even watched a Trek episode in English. I picked up all the technobabble quickly enough. I also found that the words thingamajig and thingy can come in quite handy and noone will even notice. :)

 

I'm looking forward to simming with you soon.

Hello again, Cay. It was great working with you last night. You did so well I thought for a minute you were a transplanted native English-speaker.

 

Anyway, welcome again to STSF. Hope to see you in the academies again soon.

"Thingamajig" ISN'T a technical term? Wow, I need to talk to my Chief Engineer!

Hi, welcome!

 

Wow, simming in another language. Don't think I would've picked up on that if you hadn't said anything. You've a better grasp on English than some 'natives'. That's awesome! Good luck and hope to see you around.

Ah..fresh meat.

 

I mean, welcome to STSF, Cay. May your stay be long and enjoyable.

[Cay 0]

Wow, thanks a lot! :)

 

As a matter of fact, I did already watch one series of TOS in english (I absolutely love Scottys accent), but I'm not a real Trek nerd in general. I started simming because I love roleplaying. So for me memory-alpha was even more important than for most others, considering I never watched a single episode of Star Trek before I started simming one year ago. :)
