As I mentioned, there has been some interest already and not all of those who have expressed interest are listed here yet because I've not gotten a hint at concept or desired position... Keep 'em coming folks...

To maintain a bit of "continuity" (not to mention helping myself and everyone else keep track of what's happening where) during the game, I'd like to carry over the posting conventions used in Discovery to Cerberus. It's really pretty simple stuff:

Begin your posts with the stardate/time and character's location. You don't have to use "real" stardates... accepted format is YYYY.MM.DD.

Example:
Stardate: 2374.08.16 - 0830 hours
USS Cerberus- Deck 1 -Captain's Ready Room

Computer and Communicator conversations are typically flanked by =/\\=.

Example:
...MacTavish tapped his commbadge; "Where are ye, Mester Rrowl? These fargin' fighters'll no' wait all bloody day fer ye ta get ta Tactical!"

=/\\=Acknowledged,=/\\= the kzinti's responded, =/\\=I am on my way, sir.=/\\=

And that's the "major" stuff... there may be more, but I can't think of it rightoff the top of my head... watch for updates.

...if you are planning to follow the format we used in discovery, cap'n, you might want to point out that a character's inner thoughts should be set aside in italics:

<i>What the heck is going on?</i> johnson wondered.

Also, no crazy font color changes. Keeps things from looking like a christmas tree.

Gavison should certainly have made captain by now.

Thanks, boss!

What Olan said everybody... internal thoughts in italics, please and no crazy color changes.

Um, YOU de boss, sir.

Remember?

but I love crazy color changes.

I was looking at the crew and you know what?! Most of us aren't even human.

So I see. Which is funny, since most of starfleet is human.

Not bad, just funny!

Jes' me fargin' luck! Oot inna black onna boat tha' is no' quite all done wi' a handful o' Roms an' a bunch o' misfit aliens fer crew! Tha' lads an' lasses is how Starfleet spells 'expendable' an' defines "plausible deniability".

*head thwap*

Did ye no' pay attention en Militry' histry class?!

We'll drink the best scottish whiskey we can find and together make off-color, species jokes.

And the rest of us can make off-colour human jokes! *cheers*

Did you hear the one about the pink human?...

And it's not that funny.

of course it is!

I'm pretty much a human... more or less...

I kid. Arevaci is pure homo sapiens.

That reminds of a rather inappropriate comment that I could say but won't.


It vaguely references beastiality among a few other things. Best not mention it.
