Very nice. Space and cocoa.

Okay, folks. We have right at a dozen players, some of which are involving NPCs in their posts. Posts are getting more frequent; soon, we'll have lots of people doing different things at different times of the day. How do we keep it all straight?

Allow me to introduce you to the logbook. Go to the Trek Tool, click on USS Discovery, click the logbook.

Whenever you create a new post, check to see if the timeline already accounts for it by checkingthe logbook. If not, please create a logbook entry.

This consists of your character (chosen from a dropdown box), a location, a time, a very brief summary of the post, and any other characters that may be involved (again, chosen from dropdown boxes).

Right now, it's no big deal. Trust me, in a few days, someone will post a conversation involving someone else's character, only to discover that they were not, in fact, on the bridge, but in engineering instead.

As GM, I'll try to keep the logbook straight, but if you log yor own posts (if necessary), it will make things much easier on everyone.

Thanks!

Hoping that Emybear will answer me soon about being of friend of hers from the Academy so I can post.

Sorry, I was at a friend's house.

But yeah, that sounds good =)

Is it just me or does anyone else feel kinda lost? o.o Personally, this shows me just how much of a noob I am... >.< Ah well...

Maybe I'll eventually figure it out =)

BTW, what is with the whole cocoa thing? I have to admit... I don't get it O.o

I am just checking in. Still in care faucility and it is preventing me from gettinng my character in until I get home on the 29th. I have no access to Word program and when I try to write it up in a PM when I go to send it, it doesn't get sent and all is lost.

Anyway I hope to get her finish shortly after I return home.

1. Emybear: The replicators are misreplicating the taste of hot cocoa, just something I made up to give engineering something to do. Not really important, just one of those things that gives a game 'flavor' in this case - bitter

2. Updated Logbook with Kennedy and Warwick's actions...

3. Updated Logbook incorrectly and can't figure out how to change it, see there I go again trying to make the newbies feel better about making mistakes: Oh Glorious DemiGod Leader Man (yes still sucking up over here ), can you change the time from 0008 to 0800?

4. Warwick... will have a post up as soon as I can with all your delightful new duties aboard 'my' ship (I only lend it to the Captain you know? )

Sorry, Aol is acting up so I have to send from my sister's account.

You could change the name of Carmen to my name "Toni La Rue" and that would be a great way of me, Toni getting started.

I will sent you her information so you will know thing about her.

Could you also do the same for me if and you have any secrets you would tell no one not even a close friend--then do not send me the information. ))

I attempted to enter a log entry with the trek tool today and it didn't appear. Tried it twice, checked my input both time.

AS soon as you can, can you get the posts changed so I can post. Also send me what I need to know about your character.

Hello everybody. All but my bio is in now and, pending Olan's approval (there are some dodgy aspects to my character but I'm sure everyone will realize that rather rapidly when they go down for a chat with the Helmsman ), I will have a post up this week! I'm excited and astonished at how fast moving the game is, good stuff everybody - looks like the inn has life after all!

I'll edit the logbook booboo by Merideth, and check Alacrity's. Huh.

Brianna - I was pretty certain that I sent you a detailed PM. You have not submitted ANY sort of character concept to me. Until you do so, and I approve it, you are NOT in this game.

From what I can tell, you have ignored every single post I have made, and are now ignoring my PMs. I do not appreciate you asking another player to edit thier NPC as a way for you to try to circumvent the process I have put in place.

The proper way to handle this would have been "Hi emybear, t_catt. I like emybear's NPC, and was wondering if I could play that character?"

***NOT***
"Hey emybear, change your NPC's name so I can play her. Hey emybear, as soon as you change it, I can play."

Have I been somehow vague or unclear?

FOR THE LAST TIME: IF ANYONE WISHES TO PLAY IN THIS GAME, THEY MUST SUBMIT A CHARACTER CONCEPT TO ME VIA PM, AND I MUST APPROVE IT BEFORE THEY MAY PLAY IN THIS GAME.

Fixed the time for Callie.

The Bob posts failed for you, Alacrity, becuase you did not pick a main character for them (first dropdown box at the top of the screen).

As an aside, "Featured characters" are those that appear WITH the main character. So if I make a log entry for Captain Blair as he talks to Commander Kennedy, I pick Blair as the main character, and Kennedy as featured character #1. No need for me to pick Blair twice.

Thank you Olan!

Jeanne, Brianna, has not posted to you at all because she has trouble getting on the internet at the care facitity. I, Joanne, Dragon Mistress accidently posted from Mozilla, which is where she posts from.

I had already PMed Smybear about HEr Character and my charater knowing each other. She replied that we would do that and only then did I suggest the easiest way to do that was to substitute Toni La Rue for Carmen Verandez in her posts.
