RULE #1- THE SUBJECT LINE RULE

The USS Challenger has a unique rule set forth by Captain T'Pen, so that detailed records on each mission and player can be kept up-to-date.  It is a MUST, and strictly enforced.

The subject line of each SIM must include: Rank, Name, Location, "Name of Mission," AND if the SIM is extremely long or extremely short, then (long) or (short) should also be included. You can add a title if you have room.

There is no clear cut rule as to what constitutes long or short. It is generally accepted that the writer makes that judgment based on the average length of his or her own normal SIMs.

Subject Line Example: Ensign Charles Warren - Brig - "Then there was one" (short)

Ranks can be abbreviated as follows. The entire rank name is not needed.

Starfleet Rank Abbreviations   Marines Rank Abbreviations
Ens. = Ensign
Ens1st = Ensign 1st Class
Lt. jg = Lieutenant Junior Grade
Lt. = Lieutenant
LtCmdr = Lieutenant Commander
Cmdr = Commander
Cpt = Captain
Flt.Cpt = Fleet Captain
Comm = Commodore
VAdm = Vice Admiral
RAdm = Rear Admiral

Note: When submitting a Joint Post, the subject line should begin with JP by, the the Rank and Names of all characters participating in the Joint post, PLUS all the information included in "Rule 1."

Example of a JP Subject Line:

JP by Ens Alan Kroft, Lt. Sander Spake, & Dr. William Rynos - Sickbay - "Viral Mishap" (long)

When SIMing an NPC, designate the character as an NPC on the subject line before the name.

Example: NPC Nurse Debra Bothnet - Sickbay - "Viral Mishap"

 

RULE #2 - SIM RATES

Each member of the crew is expected to SIM at least 3 to 4 times a week.
