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!

Hello, I'm Aria. I've been accepted with Raven/Mystique from the current X-Men movie franchise. She's from the end of Days of Future Past, and enters with game history from Throne of Shadows and Warehouse. This means she knows Erik up there better than he does, but also not at all.

She'll have a dog with her, a Doberman pup about a year or so old. So in the young, idiotic dog stage. They bonded. It's a thing. It's Erik's fault.

Anyway, hi. I'm minorharmonics on plurk, and I live in GMT+8, so I'm in your future and probably asleep when you're not.

Welcome to the game, Aria! :D I'm Nina, and I have this girl here, and just apped in Donna Noble of Doctor Who fame. And puppy! <3! Sounds cute.

Hello, nice to meet you! Mojo is an idiot dog. Don't let his utter devotion to Raven fool you.

Hello again Aria! Its Morgan and you already know Thea, Luna and Kristen from the Warehouse and I also have an AU Radical Edward from Cowboy Bebop floating around. Of course all are fair plotting game. :)

Hello again, hello! I'm excited to see your ladies in a new setting.

Hi Aria!

It's Beth and I am so happy you are here!

Hi, Beth! Thanks for having me.

OH hi there! I'm in +10, so maybe our onlineness will work out sometimes. :) I'm JK and I ... am not very familiar with X-Men. I have Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games, Simon Tam from Firefly, and Jonas Quinn from Stargate: SG-1 here. :)

Aussie Aussie Aussie?

I'm familiar with but not part of fandom for all of those three, but know enough to be excited!

hullo!

I'm Kippur, a mod (Kippur on plurk if you'd like). I have a pair of OC' twins from an urban fantasy I'm working on - one of whom is a vet. So, he'd be quite happy to take a look at her pup and say hello. He also has a teleporting cat familiar, so hopefully puppy will be nice to her.

Mojo probably needs examining. He's been through a few dimensions, now. And I don't think he's met a cat. So... yay!

Hey hey, Aria! Welcome to Ten Forward!

Ahhhhhhh, Raven. I am so thrilled to have a Raven in the game! I definitely think she and Mojo should meet Steve Rogers and the dog he co-parents with Natasha Romanoff. Well, I say dog, but it's a space-dog-unicorn. His name is Spike. ~~No matter what Natasha tells you to the contrary.~~

My name is Gabby, I'm another one of your mods here, and my intro/muselist is over this-a-way if you're interested! I'm gabbynormal over on Plurk, and would love to friend you there for plotting good times. Slowtimes/backtags are love, so we'll make the time difference work. :3

Edited (i swear i'm capable of running a game even if i am html dumb sometimes) 2016-03-20 23:15 (UTC)

Thank you!

...a space-dog-unicorn. Well. She's blue, so...

And how could you not love this face, Raven? I mean, come on.

She cannot. With its face. Omg.
