Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

Hello everyone! Congratulations to all our players (and mods) who survived finals week (yay spring break!), and welcome to all of our March applicants! It seems like a great time to party, so let's roll out the red carpet and do some mingling, shall we?

As we're all excited to get to know everyone and play with your new characters, us mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so you will see some helpful links below to get you and your characters started. This space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are. LET'S MAKE IT SO! Engage.

OOC contact/IC info: We are currently running a 2016 Roll Call! to update our records, so if you're new or you haven't hit this post already, this is the place to submit your contact info for our OOC contact post and your IC do's and don'ts list so we can plan for upcoming game plots. This post will be open until March 31st, so be sure to tag it soon! If you need a mod, all of our contact info is right over here.

Game updates: We strongly recommend you join, follow, and/or track our OOC Community, [community profile] ten_fwd_ooc. It's the best way to stay up to date with the game and any announcements from your mod team as soon as they happen. For you Plurk users, we also have a mod account over at [plurk.com profile] ten_fwd where we try to mirror all of our OOC and Meme comm announcements.

Getting started: You can intro your character as soon as you have your game clearance. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but you can also tag into someone else's post or enter your character anywhere that isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know.
Quarantine, Sickbay, and Rooming: Your characters' first few days on the ship will involve a lax quarantine to guest quarters, Ten Forward, and the lifts/hallways between the two only, until they've passed a basic medical check and had some vaccinations. There will be an open Sickbay log posted next Friday for the checkups. After their Sickbay visits, characters will be released from quarantine, assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. All new characters are assigned a room and a roommate by random draw. There will be an OOC post about room assignments Monday, and an IC Roommate Mixer will go up the Sunday following our Sickbay post, so characters can mingle. This will include a linked IC tour and introduction to the ship.

Plotting and CR: March's plotting meme is located here, or you may leave a comment directly to this post if you're looking for any particular plots or CR for your character. Plotting/CR Memes typically go up the last week of every month, as do announcements for next month's plots/events and a log swap meet. We have bi-annual optional How's My Driving? Memes, and quarterly Handwaved/Offscreen CR Memes as well. The links will take you to our most recent ones.

Activity Check: Our activity checks are bi-annual, and our next AC will run this summer. If you'd like more information on AC and what it entails, you can find out right here. We have a monthly check-in on non-AC months, which will run concurrent with apps opening and closing. No activity is required for check-ins, just a comment that you're still with us out there!


Are there any other questions? Did the mods overlook something important? Please feel free to contact us, night or day, using the e-mail address tenforwardmods [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave a comment on this post. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting everyone! Come, say hi in the comments below!

He and Padme can bond over having failed their politics rolls. And being lush, water planet people who were stuck in a desert.

My characters are always happy to be loved! ;)

Oh man, I love that idea. Yeah, I'm totally cool with that! Steve always loves talking to people who have shared life experience, even if Mags' memories of the war will be very different. He knows the other version of Magneto on board, so it should be fun!

PREPARE YOUR POST FOR INCOMING SUPERSOLDIER. I've gotta hit my backtags first so I may not tag in for a bit, but I'll definitely send him your way. :D

Forever late, but... HI KRISSY! I am Gabby, one of the mods here, and while I have not yet had opportunity to bring her in you may see my Regina on the TDMs from time to time. I'm super excited to get to thread with you! Of my standing roster I think Steve Rogers and Kate Barlow are really going to like David.

Speaking of, my intro comment is over here if you're interested in my deets. I just sent you a friend request on Plurk, and tl;dr WELCOME TO THE GAME. Don't be alarmed if I get my excited puppy slobber all over your muse. ;)

HELLO HEDGE! I'm coming in a bit late to the party, mea culpa! But I am super excited to see Paul. Dune muses are so rare (or at least they are now, I still remember when the SyFy miniseries made the fandom explode again for that one, brief moment...)

Anyway, I am Gabby, I play a bunch of goofballs, most of which you can find listed here in my intro along with my contact info and deets. I can't wait to thread with you!! I hope you love it here, and feel free to poke me anytime or friend me on Plurk! I'm always happy to chat and/or plot. :)

Nice to meet you~ Frank Herbert was active in the campaign to keep the original ST on the air, so the connection goes way back. The more you know!
