Unfortunately, the last thread under this name was lost due to an error on my part. After a spammer posted two virus links in separate threads, I meant to delete ONE post from the thread under this name, and delete the "other" entire thread he created. I did it in reverse, though :-\

Anyway, let's start a new thread! Just tell us why you applied to join our community over any other group on the net

I missed this place.

It was a fun atmosphere to both strengthen my writing skills AND a great atmosphere to exude all my Star Trek knowledge!

Now that I have more time to write without school being such an issue, I can get back to having fun!

Put simply, I was curious and wanted to give it a shot.

[Nathan Halliwell]

I actually never did an RPG before, and was rather curios how it would be. And of course I love Star Trek. After visiting a few inactive/ugly sites I ran into this one. I liked the academy idea and everything looks very work out and organized.

[Jeremy Dusseldorf]

Up until a few years ago I was very active in the 'PBEM scene', especially in the Star Trek genre. I even ran two sims of my own: the USS Ajax (Prometheus class) and the USS Illustrious (Patton Class Fighter Carrier) in a group that was big back then (AES). I was surfing around a bit and when I stumbled upon this website I thought 'Ah, what the heck'.

So here I am, trying to rediscover an old hobby :-)

[Seth Wulfram]

This site was recommended by a friend who is on these forums. I have played in a number of fantasy RPG's (mostly D&D) and have even done some Sci-Fi RPG's. I am currently in a quite socially isolated area of the world (increased by my lack of knowing the language, not to say I plan on participating only while I am here) and so thought I might like to join the community here and get involved. I know little about StarTrek but from what I have seen it is very good at being internally consistent. I enjoy new worlds and new characters.

Looks like I'm not following the pattern here. After extensive searching I found that what I wanted in a rpg group was:
Exclusively Play by Email role playing. (I just find groups with mixed mediums are always slanting toward the chat/forum/IM based role players while PbEM simmers are ignored.)
Exclusively Star Trek based role playing.
Strong group structure.
A number of active groups.
Professional web site.
A training/academy phase upon joining.

The wiki, forum and other resources are a huge boon as far as I'm concerned but still it was another subtle attraction being able to read through people's detailed biographies and trying to second guess which ship you may end up being posted to.

All in all I'm looking forward to getting into the thick of things.

Hi, our forums are just an extra perk to our email siming. And we are glad to have you come to us for membership. I'm sure you will not be disappointed

It's nice to see that you regard us so highly. I certainly hope we can live up to your expectations

I'm completely new to the world of simming and was keen to give it a whirl. I looked around bunch of places, got incredibly confused and then found this site. I'm really enjoying my cadet mission this week and so thanks everyone for helping me learn how this all works and making it so much fun

[Brenna Parker]

I found this place via google. I was looking for a PBeM RPG that had a good number of ships and an up to date and current website to show me that the fleet was active. I also checked out some of the articles to see the quality of writing (which is excellent, aside from a few minor punctuation errors). Your admissions form was complex, and I appreciated that you require a certain number of words for the example post, which told me that you do turn people down who aren't willing to make the beginning effort, but that you're also very willing to teach those who want to learn, and don't judge.

I kind of feel like I over-analyzed, but *shrugs* that's how I am and what I've got. Hope it helps.

I found this community while looking for more creative outlets. I'm a member of http://piptalk.com 's online poetry/writing comunity but at that place I tend to write mostly abstract stuff. I love Star Trek and I have enjoyed doing story-writing games online in the past. So I thought I'd try you guys out. I appreciate the amount of effort you put into encouraging correct grammar (my application used the passive voice by mistake in the wrapup of the story ) and serious thought in applications. This gave me the idea that you guys must take this very seriously.

[Toni]

I am giving one last chance to find a good place to sim.

I have tried different ones over many years, which ended in me usually being ignored as for some reason (though I don't know why)

So hoping to have fun here.

I"m sure you will find our group warm and friendly. We welcome your sims, and I believe you will find that we don't intentionally ignore anyone.

[Jennia Eren]

This is pretty much my last attempt at SIMming.

I've don so in the past over AOL ... but to many complaints of my characters no tbeing good enough, or they were ignored, or what ever the case.

So I'm trying one last time to see.

I have lots of great ideas. I'm also trying Lotus Fleet's Academy for fun. And I'm also interested in getting into ST:O when it comes out.

Indeed -- sorry about the form issues on our site! We're working hard to get that fixed

[Sereth]

I came to this SIM group because it reminded me of what I was looking for when I was younger. I used to be on the AQSG (Alpha Quadrant Sim Group) when they had the Cadet Training Starship named the USS San Fransisco. This is the best group that I have seen yet!!!
