+1 ... inter-demensional cosmic slacker

[element_wizard]

Hello!

My name is Kippur and I am bringing to you all an OC by the name of Alec. He's an exceptionally old highly traveled multiversal wanderer and has been around the block more times than before there were blocks. And despite the power he has, most of the time he's about as intimidating as a hyperactive budgie. And about as perky and friendly as one too. However while he doesn't chew on everything he's never met a bad idea he didn't like.

Alec sees being stuck here as a sort of mild vacation from the rest of his life and so will probably be one of the few people who don't mind being stuck here.

As for myself I'm a writer from Los Angeles whose also taking some graphic design classes. I like D&D as well as other tabletop role playing games, Brandon Sanderson is currently my go to author for reading, fantasy in general I love and if you're not careful I will talk your ear off about fantasy fiction in an academic manner. I also rambling on about random shit and always happy to talk to people. My Aim is Kippurbirdy if you want to chat or ask questions or whatever. I'm usually on most nights.

So. Hih.

Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

[ten_fwd_mods]

Hello, Ten Forward!

How are you all today? All of April's apps have been reviewed and are being processed now, so we at Ten Forward want to give a warm welcome to all of our new applicants!

We're SO excited to have you all with us, and we're looking forward to playing with you and getting to know you. Us mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so consider this your official welcome mat! Below is some helpful info, and this space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are.

• IC Intros/OPs: Your Opening Post can be where and when you prefer, as long as it isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you'd rather tag someone else's post to establish your entrance, that's totally allowed. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but if you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know.
  
  
• Life On Board: 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. The medical staff will need to see them to clear them of disease and log their bio reading for future medical attention. Afterwards, they'll be assigned more permanent quarters and a roommate (unless there's a reason they cannot room with someone else), and be able to wander the civilian areas of the ship more freely.
  
  
• Sickbay: On Friday, we will post an open sickbay log to play out any new character's checkups (as well as facilitate any plot, such as asking Dr. Crusher if you can volunteer to help), but it is not required if you would prefer to handwave your character checking out and getting the all clear from the docs aboard. If your character has any special medical conditions, let us know. If you have any other requests, leave a comment. Once your character has been cleared medically, they'll be released from the initial quarantine (of Ten Forward and the guest quarters only), assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. Restricted areas are, of course, still off-limits (such as the bridge, engine rooms, conference rooms, etc). This is especially open to new applicants, but should anyone need to visit Sickbay remember it is OTA!
  
  
• Rooms: We will be assigning all new characters a room and a roommate by random draw. This means if you have special requirements or considerations, you should leave a request in a comment HERE with your character journal. Some examples would be: if your character has a spouse or SO they would prefer to be roomed with; your character is unable to share quarters because of their physiology/temperament; and the like. If you're bringing in a high-ranking Starfleet officer, you may be assigned VIP quarters. IC, the Enterprise crew would be sure any important officers would have the best rooms, but OOC we don't want you to miss out on building CR with another character, so all officers will automatically be treated the same as other characters unless you tell us otherwise. We'll post an OOC list of characters getting roommate assignments this week, and an IC Roommate Mixer will go up next weekend so all characters can meet and mingle.
  
  
• Plot/CR: April'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. Tag around other people's requests and make some new connections.
  
  
• Join/Update the OOC Cast list: If you're new to the game or you have recently changed your character roster, visit the Contact Post to let us know who you play and what the best means of getting in touch with you are. This post is locked to members of the OOC community, and it is entirely optional if you would rather not post your information anywhere. Please note: if you're not comfortable with giving out certain info (like e-mail addresses or SNs) but still want to be represented, not all fields are mandatory. Leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. Nobody's privacy will be compromised.
  
  
• State of the Game Post: Last month, we posted a State of the Game post (locked to comm members) going over some ideas we have for taking the game forward and seeking feedback. We're planning on closing the post over the weekend, so please feel free to check in on it and give us your thoughts!

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, the mod plurk at ten_fwd 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!

State of the Game Polls Closing Soon

[ten_fwd_mods]

At the end of last month, we opened up a State of the Game post to OOC comm members seeking input on ideas for bringing the game forward.

So we can look at your ideas and start moving forward, we'd like to close the polls on this coming weekend, so please: if you haven't given us your feedback, we'd love to hear from you. We want to make this the best game possible for all of us.

-- The Mods

ETA: For the sake of specificity, we'll be closing the polls at Midnight EST (GMT-4) Saturday going into Sunday. Thanks!

Party Time!

[goldencobra]

Hi guys! Friendly neighbourhood Mouse here. I've just got a small announcement for anyone who knows or wants to know my character, Henry Gold. For those of you who are new, he's AU from the Henry character in Once Upon a Time and I can explain more in detail another time.

I'm making this post to talk about Henry's birthday! The show doesn't have one so I've done my best to try and work it out with the only time his age changes from age ten to age eleven. And since it's April/May time in my calculations, I decided to make it April 21st. (Because that was the day the AU was born so it's neat, right?)

ANYWAY! Henry will be hosting a party in one of the holodecks on that day. And I was wondering if there was any interest in a mingle log. Gifts would be optional but Henry would be giving out invitations to his friends and possibly anyone he might find interesting. But since it's a public place, those without invites would be allowed to join in. So really, it's open to you and your character.

TL;DR Henry's have a party. Should I make a party post? And P.S. He'll be 12.

Thanks for reading my rambling.
