Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2475 – December 28, 2017, 06:46:25 AM I'm having trouble keeping up with things and gonna have to pull out for awhile.Sorry.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2476 – December 28, 2017, 09:53:05 AM Sorry to hear this Josie! As I wrote in my PM to you, and for the knoweldge of the rest of the sim, Honey Badger will go MIA during the mission at the Coreless Moon, and I will only NPC her to that extent in that mission. Should you want to return at some point, Rini might appear at any point during Episode 05.I will also resolve any current scenes Rini is in during Interregnum 04-05, but I will not be starting any new threads with her. Unless Josie tells me otherwise, this character is not available for inheritence.Hope that you can return someday, Josie! Take care of that awesome kid of yours. Best Regards,Auctor Lucan 3 Likes

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2478 – December 28, 2017, 02:13:50 PM PLEASE CONGRATULATE THE AWARD RECIPIENTS OF THE WRITER'S HEART AND THE SCOURGE AWARDThe votes in the two recent polls are in, and here are the results. Since Josie left the sim, her nomination for the Writer's Heart award is no longer valid, because she she didn't live up to the criteria of the award where one would still be posting consistently and attentively despite RL obligations. With only one vote in difference, it is only fitting that the runner-up gets this first award below.THE WRITER'S HEART WENT TO EVEN ANGELS CRYPrimary Reason: EAC is excellent in communicating her absences, and always delivers top quality writingMotivation: Another writer that qualifies for this award is EAC, who really goes out of her way to read and follow the story aside from the posting she does. Despite the heavy writing involved as we finished Episode 04, she kept on delivering, and even later on in the Interregnum, despite being in a play, she has stayed active. Besides the quality of her writing, I also want to make this nomination because she has an exemplary standard in communicating with the writers on the sim when she is busy and when she expects to post next. No threads forgotten, and never rushes the writing itself.THE SCOURGE AWARD WENT TO BRUTUSPrimary Reason: For the character Sarresh MoraliMotivation & Links: The Ash'reem species absorb water through their skin and hair, so when Sarresh Morali decided to try and reach his mate - Amikris Neotin - who floated on a piece of sizzling driftwood in the middle of an acidic lake, Sarresh knew that he might not survive. He wanted to reach her so that they could both transport to the Theurgy, but alas. Amikris Neotin was also the last hope for the Ash'reem, who were already doomed to extinction because of their fertility rates. In Amikris were the DNA that could correct the flaw in their people's genome. Amikris was, however, lost, and Sarresh Morali ended up in stasis without eyes, ears, a shred of skin or hair, and with both lungs and throat seared by the acid.Before then, Sarresh Morali had been recruited to serve on the 29th century timeship Relativity at a young age. He returned to his original timeline after volunteering to aid the Theurgy on her mission. Morali underwent MEM (Memory Engram Manipulation) treatment to keep his knowledge of the future from disrupting the time stream. He had an implant installed in his head that had tech that can detect a temporal breach. When such a breach happened, Morali regained his memories so that he could try and thwart the enemy threat to the Theurgy. The MEM treatment, however, also made him forget he volunteered for the mission (perhaps knowing he could potentially save Amikris and his people, and knew he would fall in love with her? Who knows.) So, as many regrets as he has, hating the mission, he has not only lost his posting on the Relativity, his mate, his people, and his unique knowledge of the time stream, he also lost his Ash'reem body.He had to undergo DNA re-sequencing and become human in order for Dyan Cardamone's Asurian healing cells to work on his body. He was saved in this fashion because of his importance to the mission, but it is still a mission he loathes, having lost all that he holds dear. Through the ocular implants he wears instead of his lost eyes, he sees Thea's voyage into the unknown forks of the time stream with loathing, with little left to fight for.Swimming across an acidic lake to save his mate:https://uss-theurgy.com/forum/index.php/topic,1059.0.htmlFINAL AWARD NOMINATIONS Nominations for the two last Writing Awards are now open until the 4th of January, where two separate polls will be posted on the 5th of January for the two award categories and their nominated scenes respectively. This time the awards are these: Often we see the completion of a character's life; yet this character's story has a beginning, a middle, and an ending. The writer not only willingly self-terminated their character, but did so in a dramatic and/or endearing way. The ending must be in "a blaze of glory" with superior epic or poetic quality. This award is nominated by anyone, but only handed out once every year to the most outstanding writers in the sim.Here is the thread where you post your nominations:Final Award NominationsYou may also submit your nominations anonymously via PM to me. I look forward to read your nominations!Best Regards,Auctor Lucan 2 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2479 – December 28, 2017, 08:27:21 PM OHMIGOSH!!!! Never did i ever think i would win one of these awards! Thank you everyone!With the Christmas season winding down, my time is freeing up. I should be caught up within a week or so I do want to apologize for taking so long at times but you guys are the best. I love you all and i love this story and my characters! I also hope you're all enjoying the character developments that Alessia and Jaya are having right now!! They're super fun for me to write! 3 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2480 – December 31, 2017, 02:14:15 PM HAPPY NEW YEAR! My guests are arriving in a few, but I wanted to take the time to wish you all a Happy New Year! January will be exciting, since Episode 05: Courage is Fear will be launched as soon as the write-ups are finished. I will also be sending out a Story Overview tomorrow or the day after that depending on how long my guests are staying. Once Episode 05 has been rolled out, I will be opening up recruitment and character creation again.That being said, I will be restrictive in allowing new characters to present member, and I will only allow new characters if the applicant's posting frequency is good enough. If posting frequency has been too low or infrequent, then I can't allow new characters to be added. Please keep this in mind before applying, and don't be surprised if I have to say no based on In-Character posting frequency.PLEASE CONGRATULATE NOLAN ON HIS OLDE MUG OF THE ANCIENTS! On the 29th of December, @Nolan had been an active member on the sim for 5 years, and therefore, he has earned this token of long service to the story. Time flies, and I still remember when he came aboard with Thomas Ravon, joining in the middle of Episode 02 and the Ishtar visiting Thea. Since then, he has been a steady and reliable presence in the telling of the Theurgy story, adding Amelya Duv and Simon Tovarek as original characters, having Thomas Ravon go MIA for quite some time, and inheriting Cameron Henshaw in the process too. As of Episode 05, Amelya Duv will officially become Amelya Rez, his character joined with the Rez symbiont.Thank you Nolan for your long service, and I hope you are able to stay with us for five years more (and even longer!) DON'T FORGET TO MAKE YOUR AWARD NOMINATIONS A reminder about the final Award Nominations for 2017. Since we are dealing with the prestigious Golden Chevron this time around, I am disinclined to show favouritism by nominating anyone for it, so that means that all of you guys need to take a few minutes and nominate those who you think should be included in the poll. So far, we have two nominees, but no anonymous nominations sent via PM to me yet.Here is the thread where you post your nominations:Final Award NominationsYou may also submit your nominations anonymously via PM to me. I look forward to read your nominations!Best Regards,Auctor Lucan Last Edit: December 31, 2017, 02:48:15 PM by Auctor Lucan 7 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2481 – January 02, 2018, 12:33:07 AM NEW YEAR, NEW STORY OVERVIEW!Figured we'd start 2018-01-01 with a Story Overview, to help us all catch up on who posts where. I had to do it myself in order to see which threads I have to finish now that Josie left us. A new feature time is also the date in which the last reply was made, helping everyone prioritise threads they have forgotten or which they are straggling with.I also wanted to post this before Episode 05 comes up, to help people catch up before the story continues. Another post about Episode 05 will be made asap.We are still writing in Day 02 and 03 of the Interregnum, with Day 01 off limits for posting new thread starters. The Sabine Away Mission has begun on Day 03. You may post starters on Day 03 up until 1400 hrs., which is concurrent with when the Sabine Away Mission has ended and they - at the earliest - might have gotten back to the Theurgy. So, here are the posting rules for the Interregnum at the moment:Day 01 was the same day as the Battle of Starbase 84. No new threads are allowed to be made during Day 01 any more. So, Day 01 is off limits for new threads.The latest point at which threads can be started on Day 03 is 1400 hrs.Day 03 is off limits as of later than 1400 hrs. for the time being. You may post starters set before then (only not on Day 01)Exceptions to these rules are made by me, so please feel free to PM me if you are in dire need to get something done on Day 01, for example. Lastly, we have a common way of naming new threads. The naming convention is, in short, simply this:Day XX [XXXX hrs.] Insert Title Of New ThreadIn the below lists, you'll see where we're at right now. The threads are in chronological order, and links to click.DAY 01Day 01 [1600 hrs.] Focal Point - Finished!Day 01 [1600 hrs.] Loose Ends - Finished!Day 01 [1600 hrs.] The Last Lone Wolves - Finished!Day 01 [1600 hrs.] The New Pack - Finished!Day 01 [1630 hrs.] Strength in Unity - Finished!Day 01 [1700 hrs.] Loose Gears - Finished!Day 01 [1700 hrs.] Two Stray Threads - Finished!Day 01 [1700 hrs.] Washing Away the Memories - Finished!Day 01 [1715 hrs.] Sar-unga Grieving - Finished!Day 01 [1830 hrs.] Seeds of Malefaction - Finished!Day 01 [1900 hrs.] Nebula Entry - Finished!Day 01 [1910 hrs.] Defrosting - Finished!Day 01 [1930 hrs.] A Doctor's Mechanic - Finished!Day 01 [1930 hrs.] Fanatical Interests - Finished!Day 01 [2000 hrs.] Colorful Confluence - Finished!Day 01 [2030 hrs.] Meeting of Minds - Finished!Day 01 [2200 hrs.] Drinking Yourself Blind- Next poster by Table: 1) Brutus 2) Arista 3) DocReno (Latest Reply: 2017-12-10)- Next poster by Bar: 1) Steelphoenix 2) Kaligos (Ending thread?)

RANDOM ENCOUNTER LIST FOR DAY 03Here is the result of the random encounters for Day 02 or 03 (up until 1400 hrs.)!As you know, the two writers that have been paired need to figure out a way to do it, and the third column will suggest a location for the two characters to meet. The writer with a character in the left column is the one who posts the starter. Like the last time, I have taken the liberty to cross out the threads already started with green lines, and used yellow for scenes where the writers have expressed wishes to forego the scene due to different reasons. Either the scene has already happened, one or two writers are overburdened, a member has left or a character is in no state to see anyone (injured/dead/stasis/etc.)If anyone wants to cross out more scenes on this list, feel free to contact me!

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2482 – January 04, 2018, 01:05:03 AM THE COUNSELOR'S MEMBERSHIP TERMINATED DUE TO INACTIVITYAfter sending several posting reminders without answer, and given the chance to return to active status or inform us whether or not she meant to stay and write with us, The Counselor's membership had to be terminated due to inactivity. Lt. Hayden Quinn O'Connor Chief Counselor (NPC) - Formerly Played by The CounselorShe played the Chief Counselor, Hayden O'Connor, and she's been a member for a long time, but in the end, we need to have active members in order to drive the story forward. As for the position of Chief Counselor, Hayden will be reported for negligence of her duties, which led to her failing to foresee the dangers of letting Doctor Maya remain on active duty. By letting Maya continue to serve in Sickbay despite all that Hayden learned from Maya about her black-outs and her being a victim of rape, Maya was able to preform inoculations of hallucinogens to three known patients; Thomas Ravon, Lin Kae and Nathaniel Isley. All three committed acts not entirely their own, which put the crew at great risk and among many other things, resulted in the death of Ensign Skye Carver. That Hayden knew about Doctor Maya's black-outs became known to the crew in a recorded hearing of Doctor Maya, which was held after she released Sonja Acreth from the Brig during the Battle of Starbase 84. Hayden O'Connor will therefore be demoted and removed from her position as Chief Counselor, and Asst. Chief Counselor Zeloza Ejek will instead become Acting Chief Counselor (since she is not a full Lieutenant yet, but this makes no difference in terms of her duties and responsibilities). Having been Acting Chief Counslor on the Resolve for quite some time, she will be deemed more than up to the task. Lt. JG Zelosa Ejek Asst. Chief Counselor - Played by FollowTomorrow These rank and position changes will be implemented in the Crew Manifest as soon as this has been played out In-Character in the story, which I will have to do myself, largely in the thread Truth in Untruth. FollowTomorrow will likely become highly involved in the transition as well, of course.The character Hayden O'Connor will not be made available for inheritance, but instead become an NPC pending a less fortunate fate during Episode 05.Best Regards,Auctor LucanGame Moderator 2 Likes

Antes live about 50 years, so I think that would mean they live 8 times as long as an Antes.Right and left brained humans are a myth, we all use our brains about equally on both sides and both sides participate in language, creativity, quantitative, reasoning, etc. Moreover, individual neurons and neuron clusters can take on different responsibilities depending on demand; i.e.; a person who has no ears may find their temporal lobes being used for other things besides hearing. There are right and left brained differences, but to base a societal structure on the neuronal density of one side of the brain compared to the other might lead to quite a lot of wrong caste assignments. 8P However, that's with humans. Sheromi can be different--and if they were predominantly organized in that way, it would make brain damage much more debilitating in them than it would be in us. After all, humans can stand to lose an entire half of their brain, sometimes more, and retain most, if not all of their facilities, save for some issues concerning vision and coordination in the missing hemisphere. That's not really a big deal though. That's just me nitpicking, and honestly I don't think it takes away from the enjoyability and believability of the Savi race. I'm so happy with what you've done and I'm excited to see them--and bash some Sheromi mooks! 3 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2491 – January 06, 2018, 11:11:47 AM That's awesome feedback! Thank you! I have corrected these issues now, and I'm happy that there weren't any more issues with it. I finished it in the middle of the night, lol.Happy to hear you like the Savi (while some of us might keep calling them the Sheromi for some time)! I might also improve upon the images some before I wrap up the project. I have been in contact with an artist on Artstation about using his artwork for the Sheromi, but since I have yet to hear back from him, I am using stock images I bought from Shutterstock for the time being. I will tell you if I change the visual stuff for the Savi. Best Regards,Auctor Lucan 2 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2492 – January 07, 2018, 09:59:04 AM Savi artwork updated late last night! A great improvement in my meaning, not using stock images from Shutterstock any more. Press Shift÷F5 to reload the page and clear the image cache. ☺Best Regards,Auctor Lucan 1 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2493 – January 07, 2018, 06:35:09 PM I wanted to take a moment and share something rather important with the everyone, even though a couple of you have known that I've been giddy about something this past couple of weeks.On January the 7th, 1998-I watched with great joy as my very first post for Star Trek: Babylon appeared on the IC mailing list with my very first character, Ensign Marcus A. Slayton, reporting for duty to the ship's chief engineer for the first time.That's right-1998.That is my milestone that I wanted to share will all of you here today: my TWENTY YEAR milestone!Twenty years of writing characters across sims ranging from Star Trek to Star Wars to both kinds of Battlestar Galactica to Stargate SG-1 to CSI to Super Heroes & Doctor Who, it really didn't matter as long as the story was interesting enough for my attention to be caught and drag me in.I have been apart of some pretty awesome events over the years such as the Weber-verse "Triad War" and the Bravo Fleet "Borg War" to even a Federation Civil War in two separate sims, Hell I have even been apart of large groups of sims such as the late Nova Horizons, Alpha, Bravo, and Obsidian Fleets as well as the UCIP or the United Confederation of Interstellar Planets.Now I'm here, being apart of another killer story along another killer group of writers that I can share this milestone with since this is now my "home sim", the one sim that I hang my hat on because this is where I'll come back to. So pop open a bottle of your favorite drink and raise a glass to you all because you're all an incredible bunch and I'm glad to be sharing this milestone with you all-Cheers!

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #2496 – January 10, 2018, 01:47:11 AM PLEASE WELCOME KAYLEX REN, OUR NEWEST MEMBER!It is my pleasure to announce our newest member, Kaylex Ren. They will actually write a well known character to us, and one that I have been NPCing since Esyel left us. Kaylex Ren did not wish to apply with a character of their own, and saw no problem in us having closed new character creation. No, they took a fancy to playing this Nurse, who has been around since Episode 01 to varying degrees! Lt. JG Jovela Nurse - Played by Kaylex Ren It is Nurse Jovela! She will be breathed life into with the help from this latest member of ours, and since you all know what happened in the Prologue of Episode 05, Kaylex Ren is in for a very dramatic first scene, depicting what happened after Dylan Cobb attacked this nurse. Didn't see that one coming, did you?Kaylex Ren has already read up on the character's past before now, even the stint in Episode 01, and as always with inherited characters, they have the creative license to rewrite her character page and play her differently than she used to be played, and I personally look forward to what they decide to do with this character. Moreover, they will re-start writing Jovela in the thread What Goes Around, for those who want to read up on the new development there.Welcome aboard, Kaylex Ren! The floor is yours.
