Thank you all for your warm Welcome.

I have heard great things about the Theurgy and I am thrilled to be here.
I am looking forward to writing with all of you at some point.

Apologies for being late on replies this week, I've had to do a lot of last-minute homework.   I'll get on writing in the morning!  :)
Really enjoying writing a halfway stable character for once...

Hey guys!

I would like to outsource Rala Nok'va as an NPC in The Runaway
The Runaway is a Story of a young talented Federation pilot who, after he left Starfleet due to an fatal accident, tries his luck as a Cargo Runner. While this, he and his Crew met Rala Nok'va, a klingon warrior who tries to restore her honor in finding and regain control of the K'tang.

If anyone is interested, please PM me :)

sorry peeps, it seems I have been hit lately with carpel tunnel symptoms in my left hand over the last few weeks and it is getting worse so I will be seeking help for it. It has made typing a problem, if you have any suggestions, they are welcome but I may not be able to get to replies for a time.

Howdy, @Sqweloookle , I have to do A LOT of typing, and the stretches found on helps me a lot when things start to ache. I also do self-massaged in the forearm area and use a handheld medicine ball to roll over the muscles there and over the fleshy parts of my palm.

SADLY, LATHANIEL HAS LEFT THE SIM

Today, with intermittent signs that they wished to write but were unable due to RL, I have granted @Lathaniel 's request to leave the sim. They leave Kino Jeen and Sorek Morgan, callsign Chaos, available for inheritance though, so they are now on the Available Characters page for anyone interested.

PO2 Kino Jeen                  Security Officer (NPC)

  - Former Writer: @Lathaniel

Lt. JG Sorek Morgan              Wolf-15 [Chaos] (NPC)

  - Former Writer: @Lathaniel

As always, I will NPC these characters as required in current ongoing threads. Just PM me on the forum if you have any specific requests in that regard, with links to the current threads! If there are no writers interested in them, I will eventually have them exit the story somehow so that, for example, Sorek's slot in the Line Wolves squad chart becomes available for a new Applicant. With Sorek being an Element leader to @ob2lander961 's character, they will also have full latitude to NPC Sorek in any threads in which they fly together until either a new writer picks him up or the characters exits the story.

Best Regards,

Auctor Lucan

Please let me know which of the old threads that won't be continued and should be locked. PM me in that case! :)

In general, we have been very good at informing our writing partners when RL issues are getting in the way, like with family situations , covid or vacations, so let's keep doing that! ( good ) Bear in mind that we should always try to reply in our current threads within 7 days, and neglecting to do so breeds more inactivity among other writers - others getting the erroneous signal that its fine to leave writing partners waiting indefinitely.

I already know that some of you have just missed notifications, but it is important to not signal that it is okay to ignore the General Rules and the deadline we have for replies. As you can understand, for the sake of the story and the sim as a whole, we can't keep inactive writers since their characters hold positions that other writers may want to write instead. If you can't write, post about it in the Main OOC thread or update your signature to that effect, no worries at all, but that can't be a perpetual state of inactivity either.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Newsletter and more Story Prompts! I will be opening up the second week of the Interregnum then as well. I will hopefully be able to post lists like the above for both Advent of War and the Aldea Prime Anthology tomorrow. :)

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Thanks for the update.

As for Day 05 [1600 hrs.] Good Shepherd, I have no idea what else to post at this point. She'd already replied in IC, so I don't see anything else to say in this scenario.

As you can see, I have removed the solo threads where writers are posting scenes from the past or personal logs. The listed threads are one-on-one or group threads. Bear in mind that the General Rules apply to these as well! I reckon a lot of these ought to be locked though since they are really old and likely forgotten so just PM me about it.

I am getting busy as the school year approaches the end of its 3rd term. But I should be able to catch up this weekend and then Spring Break is almost here. Currently in rehearsals my Spring Theatre Production and have been tagged to run the Public Address Announcements and Press Box for my schools Softball team. Juggling lots of projects but I still have time to write. I just have to make sure that I schedule that writing time and not let it get missed.

I apologize for the delay in my writing as the current geopolitical situation has left me attending emergency meetings. This has, of course, thrown off my writing schedule. I am working on a new schedule and should be getting to my posts in short order. I anticipate that I will have a broader sense of what that will look like this week and will be scheduling my posts to catch up on accordingly.

Hi Everyone,

First, I want to give thanks to my writing partners who have had to wait on replies from me. I am incredibly appreciative of your patience.
Secondly, I just want to give a heads up that my area is about to get bit#$slapped by a weather system that has left a wake of extreme flooding in it's wake as it has travelled down Australia's Eastern Seaboard. We are in a good place here but with that much water coming down, you just can't know how your house or the terrain around where you live will handle it so I may be out of touch for a few days. I'll be trying to stay at least reachable on Discord but I cannot guarantee anything.\

Stay safe everyone,

Stegro88

Hey all... uhh so good news! My transfer to Nevada has gone through! The bad news..... My apartment complex probably won't let me out of my lease. so I'm focused on dealing with that bull shit because of These two clauses in my Rental contract.... I had an addendum that got me out of this..... but now i'm looking at the potential of something like 8 thousand dollars in penalty. So uhhh.... My mind is very much elsewhere. I'll get back to posting once I can focus.

22.1 Generally. You may have the right under Texas law to
terminate the Lease early in certain situations involving
family violence, certain sexual oenses, or stalking.
Otherwise, unless you’re entitled to terminate this Lease
under Par. 9, 17, 23, 31, or 36, you won’t be released from
this Lease for any reason—including voluntary or involuntary
school withdrawal or transfer, voluntary or involuntary
job transfer, marriage, separation, divorce, reconciliation,
loss of coresidents, loss of employment, bad health, property
purchase, or death.


Acceleration. Unless we elect not to accelerate rent, all
monthly rent for the rest of the Lease term or renewal period
will be accelerated automatically without notice or
demand (before or after acceleration) and will be immediately
due and delinquent if, without our written consent:
(A) you move out, remove property in preparing to move out, or you or any occupant gives oral or written notice of
intent to move out before the Lease term or renewal period
ends; and (B) you haven’t paid all rent for the entire
Lease term or renewal period. Such conduct is considered
a default for which we need not give you notice. Remaining
rent will also be accelerated if you’re judicially evicted
or move out when we demand because you’ve defaulted.
Acceleration is subject to our mitigation obligations below.

ONBOARDING PAGE!

Hi there everyone! The hour is late for me, but here it is! :)

Onboarding Page

I had hoped to finish this onboarding page sooner. My wife has some post covid ailments that lingers, energy low and persistent headaches, so I try to let her rest as much as possible from the regular house upkeep. I have yet to add this to the main menus of the forum and the wiki, or linked it in the Joining the Crew page, but that will happen tomorrow. Happy reading, new writers and old, and please send any feedback and suggestions on improvements to me via PM on the forum!

The page is meant to guide new writers about the current situation in the story, addressing common questions and odd quirks not so plain at first glance. Eventually I will upgrade the scuttlebutt page to allow for entries based on character names, and what kind of general knowledge the crew might have about individual characters. Before that, the Newsletter is next on the list. Stay tuned!

SADLY, UYTREREEE LEAVES US TODAY

As you may have heard from him already, @uytrereee will not be able to participate in the sim for the foreseeable future. He has stated that he's been too caught up in RL matters to write here, but he leaves Frank Arnold available for inheritance, so he is now on the Available Characters page for anyone interested.

Lt. Frank Arnold            Chief Engineer (NPC)

  - Former Writer: @uytrereee

As always, I will NPC Frank as required in current ongoing threads unless you can wrap those threads without my involvement. Just PM me if you have any specific requests in that regard! If there are no writers interested in him, I will eventually have him exit the story somehow so that his position as Chief Engineer becomes available for an active writer. In the meantime, since he is an NPC, those writing Engineers can use him indirectly in their posts to make sure Thea has a functional engineering team. :)

Good bye, @uytrereee  , and thank you for the time you've spent writing with us!

Best Regards,

Auctor Lucan

RULES REVISION FOR CHARACTER CAPACITY AND CHARACTER ELIGIBILITY

Greetings Theurgists! After careful consideration, and considering the fact that we have writers that are either very new or very old, the manner in which Character Capacity is determined to grant eligibility to add new characters can be deemed a bit skewed to favour old or new writers depending on overall activity, recent activity or old activity ratios (IC posts/days).

For example, a writer that has been a member for two years, but was a slow to pick up pace and get threads going until the second year, would still have to divide their IC posts over the course of the full two years until now, making it more difficult to reach a Character Capacity number they want. Another example would be a writer that was only hyper-active over the course of the first year, but shows less activity the second year, that writer will now have to start writing more actively again so they show that they still have the Character Capacity to write an additional character. One year was picked since it covers all seasons, including summers, holidays, intense study periods etc. that may pull writers away for a little while. And of course, a writer that has been a member for less than a year will have their IC posts divided by number of days total.

The Joining the Crew page's second half has been updated towards this end now, and the new rules apply for all character creation or inheritance requests from here on out.

That's all for now! :)

Best,

Auctor Lucan

RYETANKER HAS INHERITED FRANK ARNOLD!

Well, seems we have an actively played Chief Engineer after all! @RyeTanker contacted me and wanted to pick up Frank Arnold as a new character, and that's great news since he has become a great presence in the story. :)

Lt. Frank Arnold            Chief Engineer

  - Writer: @RyeTanker

At this point, @RyeTanker has no intentions to update or change the character. The reading of the backlog is underway, and he has the full list of currently active threads to wrap his head around. Please give @RyeTanker some time to catch up on everything, but posts will be coming along. If there were any pre-made plans OOC for the direction some threads are taking, please have in mind that @RyeTanker has the full latitude to change the trajectory of the events in regard to Frank's part in them if he wants to. He is not beholden to the ideas of the previous writer, so be nice and don't expect too much of Frank's new writer in this regard. It is very important that, when a writer inherits a character, they get to fully make them their own.

Good luck with your new character, @RyeTanker ! Looking forward to reading his continued story. :)

Best Regards,

Auctor Lucan

OK.  Mostly caught up on work and I think this final project is somewhere close to being in gear.  Apologies for the delays, I've been absolutely fried by schoolwork, my GA position, and my car breaking down for the 3rd time in a year.

THE INTERREGNUM CONTINUES!

>> Click For Full Resolution

Check it out!

DAY 08 [0800 HRS.] TEMPUS SIGILLUM

This is the continuation for Interregnum 01-02! In the header I have listed some writers with present characters, but this post introduces a number of coming short missions that will be carried out in the backdrop of other events, so it is a Attn: All nonetheless. 'Tempus Sigillum' will be a theme of stand-alone away-missions and Story Prompts that will continue through the Interregnum as well as the Episode to come. Oh! Remember to post in the Story Workshop with your ideas for Episode 02!

So, this is set the morning of Day 8. With this starter, we open up for Supplemental threads set between Day 8 and Day 18 of the Interregnum. The rest of the days of the Interregnum are N/A for the time being. Since the Theurgy has Quantum Slipstream tech, the crew will be able to reach the Klingon border well in time for Donatra's arrival, if that is where the Theurgy goes (again, please post in the Story Workshop if you have ideas!). As for Chancellor Martok, he will leave Qo'noS by Day 10 at 1200 hrs., the Klingon Houses falling in line and gradually making a fleet along the voyage towards the Romulan border.

The naming convention for all Supplemental threads (Group or One-on-One) in Interregnum 01-02 is Day 0X [YYYY hrs.] Insert Title, wherein X marks the day and YYYY marks the time. There will be a list of Story Objectives that will be detailed in an upcoming Newsletter this week, which covers potential missions in the continuation of the Interregnum, but remember that this is also a time for R&R.

That's all for now!

Best,

Auctor Lucan
