ten_fwd_ooc | Welcome Post

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, 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 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!

Hi, my name is Cerie and after some enabling I have brought Katniss Everdeen and Jack O'Neill into the game! I can be reached at

superxconductor at any time.

Just a bit about me personally - I work in claims litigation, so the last week of the month is always permanent slow time if not actual gone-ness and I often have to travel for trials. I usually mention these things on my plurk, though, so people are aware. I'm really excited to be here and I hope to have a great time!

Hi Cerie! SO NICE TO MEETCHA! I'm Holly and I play a couple of your castmates. Johanna here and Dr Carolyn Lam. :D I also play Inara Serra from Firefly. Anywho, can't wait to see your peoples in game and I'm adding you on plurk!

HI. I am very excited to play with the HG cast and yay you also play Carolyn <3

I know we're all excited to have you here. :) So I was wondering, since where you have Jack's canon point, he'd know what Adria looked like right? Fun facetwin misunderstandings!

Ooo Jack. Nice to have to more Stargate peeps on board. I can't wait for all the replicator jokes.

Welcome!

Oh there will be PLENTY of replicator jokes don't you worry.

HAHAHA Jonas had such a shock the first time someone said replicator to him XD

Hi Cerie! I'm Morgan and have no canonmates but do claim Thea Queen from Arrow (when she was stabbed in "Broken Arrow" so is pre pit), Luna Lovegood from HP (when she was saved from Malfoy Manor), Kristen Kringle from Gotham (during the GCPD shooting in "Knock,Knock") and a semi AU Radical Edward from Cowboy Bebop (anime canon is intact, she's just now in her 20s). But Kristen is becoming close friends with Jonas so would love for her and Jack to eventually meet.

All of them are fair plotting game and will be adding you on Plurk shortly (I'm TheHourMorgana).

Yay I have been playing with your Thea on the Medietas TDM, I'm Oliver. Nice to meet you :)

Likewise! And Oliver will get his sister for Medietas since Thea's been held! (their TDM thread is pure them right down to him being a worry wart to the hugs and nicknames)

Yeeeesssss Beverly has better luck with Panem crew here since she's been through something similar from a CR AU, so I will probably throw her at Katniss at some point :3

Yay, so exciiiiting.

Hi! I'm Amber and I have here a District 8 victor OC by the name of Lacey Harwood. She won the 60th Games and her canon point is from around the 72nd, so while she'll have no idea who Katniss is, Katniss is free to recognize her if you would like (either from the reapings or having seen her in the Capitol or something). c: I'm gonna go ahead and add you on plurk.

Yess I will go with Katniss recognizing her!

Welcome to the game! :D I'm Nina, and I have this gal, along with Donna Noble.

So very nice to meet you! Looking forward to playing with you :)

YAY SUCCESSFUL ENABLING <3 So excited to play with you here!

Yesss so glad to be here!

Hullo!

I'm Kippur! (kippur on plurk if you'd like.) A mod. And nice person.

Kale and Trever are friends with Annie and Finnick - they also apparently have a similar sort of mind set/training as Careers do. But they have had it because they're raised as Heroes who need to be good at killing stuff as opposed to being used as entertainment. (Though there are some books based on their family's lives... so there you go.)

Also JAAAAAAAACKKK!!!!! <3

Very nice to meet you! I look forward to playing with your guys :)

Hello! I'm Bree (ThriceWiddershins on plurk), and I have a couple muses in-game. There's Zoey, who's an original character, seer, and general snarky trouble magnet. And there's Siri, who's a Jedi. And getting used to the whole being alive again thing. I look forward to playing with you!

Jack O'Neill! Who doesn't love Jack? I'm so excited to see him in the game. And I love his canon point.

I'm Phaerie, I play characters from other big sci-fi series: Cat from Red Dwarf, Trip Tucker from Star Trek: Enterprise, and Galen from Babylon 5/Crusade. I apologise for Cat in Jack's open post, but since he already had people helping him I thought someone who would not be at all helpful would be a nice change :)

I look forward to playing with you (and checking my tags this morning!)

I'm late to the party as always, but: HI CERIE! It's so nice to meet you and have your muses here in Ten Forward! Jack knows Cam at his current canon point, right? I'm thinking perhaps facetwin shenanigans with my John Crichton at some point. >:3

Anyhoo, I'm Gabby, my entire roster/intro is over here, and if you ever need anything let me know! Slowtime and backtags are love. ♥

Yes yes, he knows Cam so please throw Crichton at me, it would be great
