Description:

This is an English only game.

FYI, the Discovery is a Galaxy Class vessel, set in 2366 (approx season 3
of TNG). This is pre-dominion war, pre-borg.

So! The long and the short of it is that I'm looking for dedicated
players. Know that Trek is free form, but not ruleless - I (and the
command staff) tend to set the stage with major plot points; you are free
to play your character however you wish (within reason). Need to create
some NPC crewmembers to help your department? Great! Be our guest!

You must be able to post no less than weekly... Ideally, you'll post more
often that that. Knwledge of trek is a good idea, though you need not be a
sick fanboy to play.

Please understand that this is a writing intensive game. Posts like
"Engineer Steve acknowledges his orders and goes about maintenance
duties." will not cut it. SHORT posts tend to be three paragraphs; typical
posts can be much longer, depending on what is going on. Ideally, you'll
be able to carry some of the story yourself; if no one is posting anything
for your character to do, take some initiative and set your own scene!

Be prepared to create a rather extensive characetr background, including
service history and such (see
http://rdcconline.com/trek/roster.php?simid=1
for examples). I'll of course be glad to help you if you need it, but if
its too much trouble to create a living character history, you probably
would not enjoy the game itself.

Following is our list of openings. In most cases, I would prefer that you
assume an exising role, but I *will* allow you to bring in a replacement
character if you have a great concept.

Chief Engineer (need a new character)
Chief Science Officer (would prefer someone take the role of Lt. Hemlos)
Chief Operations Officer (either take Lieutenant Raines or bring in a new
character, either way is fine)
Chief Hemlsman (would prefer someone take the role of Lieutenant Zara)
Ships Counselor (need a new character)

Also, if you don't feel you can run a department, you may always create a
lower-ranking character (officer OR enlisted) invirtually any department.

So, what are you waiting for? Apply today!
