No worries.

And don't worry about being perfect! Just post.

telling me who's posting for an OCD person not to be perfect? Nah, my problem is I have this habit of over thinking things..

Yep I copied and pasted but did not go back and edit. Will do that tomorrow.

...it's easy (especially with some of the amazing players in this game) to worry so much about crafting the perfect character, the perfect post, the perfet reactions... that the game just loses the fun. It becomes a chore.

Then, you get to where you don't want to post, you lag behind, then you start to feel overwhelmed at everything going on.

Keep it simple. Where is your character when the floor starts swinging around like crazy? What does she think about it? What does she do?

That's all there is to it.

If you want to expand on this, nobody will argue. If you feel like bringing in an NPC or two, go for it. But don't feel like you have to do those things - just cover the basics, let your character's personality show through, an the rest will take care of itself.


edit: tons of typos, even for me

Great reading thus far. Cant wait to see how this goes.

Wonderful opening volley, there, crew!

...to echo the boss, here: Don't sweat it if you're not an uber-Trek-geek and all the techie mumbo-jumbo doesn't come pouring right out of you. Just play the character you've got in mind and let him/her develop as they will. If you get to a point where you need some techie-drivvel or whatever, post here or send me a PM or whatever... Someone will always come running to help if you need it, I promise.

Exactly what Eol just said. Don't sweat the details of deck locations, names for thingamajigs, etc. We're HAPPY to help you with that stuff.

Worry about your character's personality and how they react to situations, and you'll be fine.

But post!

I see I will have to break out the universal translator for the Mac posts......

Univairs'l Translat'r? Wha' en th' name o' Charlie's knickers are ye on aboot, lad? I unnerstand meself jus' fine! Is no' me fault tha' th' rest o' ye sheepshaggers cannae speak English!



*winkwinknudgenudge*

ah... what?

I think he said fire all phasers and get him a latte!

Don't be silly. Mac drinks coffee, not lattes.

...double black. *nods*

Now, as to that fire all phasers bit... I'm waaaaaiiiitiiiiing! *taps foot*

I thought you said fire the lady and get you a brassiere!
