Replying to Why did you apply to join our community?

We're glad you decided to join us Kydo... and that you got that typo in your name sorted

Good luck with training Cadet!

I have always been a fan of star trek.  My sister you play role playing star trek a great deal.  Having some free time, she suggested I find one to get into.  Her old role playing games are no longer active.  SB118 looks like it has the serviceability and long time standing to be the place for me.  I am really looking forward to getting into the game.

 

(On a side note, I am GREATLY

RP in general is something I've been doing since my early teens. The text based chats way back in the Yahoo rooms days and I miss it ao a large degree.  A friend of mine is here and mentioned it the other day and I immedately latched on to the idea of it (not unlike a honey badger) and here I am!

 

Plus it's Star Trek.

I definately feel without a doubt that you won't get a better community anywhere else. I'm glad you joined us and i'm sure you won't be disappointed. It was the community and professionalism that got me hooked as well.

I'm coming back into the simming world after an incredibly long time away - I don't think I've written in a Trek game since high school, so ten year ago. I love the look and detail to SB118 - everything about it is incredibly professional and exactly how I wanted a game to look all those years ago (right down to using a wiki *swoon*). I pretty much decided right there and then that if I was going to come back to this kind of thing, I wanted to try with you guys.

 

The friendly-looking community in the forums really helped too.

Collaborative fiction is uniquely fullfilling. 

 

I haven't sussed out quite how or why save that it has more appeal (to me) than the grind of MMORPG's or other rpg formats.

 

Star trek fills that hunger for scifi though I've messed with Mutant, Dragonrider and Hogwart stuff as well.  (Well I 'looked' at Hogwarts...haven't actual joined a group there.)  

 

I lurked a couple of days, reading over this and that.  Noted each of the crews and such.  It seemed like a laudable experience.

 

So here I am.

I like RP, I like Star Trek and I needed an outlet.

I've tried writing my own stories and I never seem to get my teeth into it totally. It get's overwhelming and confusing juggling characters and scenarios etc. If I can concentrate on one character and work with others on a wider plot, who knows I might get better at my own writing along the way.

Oh, also I like having fun with like-minded folks. Very important

I played / wrote in a pbem trek group before that was smaller. About ten or twelve of us omper ship. I think it was about 10-12 years ago, the USS Hood? Can't even remember...

Since then I did some creative writing in a group format centres around a video game: X3 Reunion. Was fun, but my interest in the universe paled compared to trek, and I slowly ran out if ideas. It may have also been due to lack of direction control and such, but still fun while it lasted.

I tend to write with a little bit of humor etc, as I'm a bit of a good in RL.

Hope to join you guys when done training.

Cheers.

I joined because I love to write, to tell a story and I love the scifi/fantasy genre.
