Rules
1. Each player is expected to log in at least once every 2 weeks, unless on Leave of Absence (LOA) or Extended Leave of Absence (ELOA). Any LOA/ELOA notifications must be sent to the Captain after one month of inactivity. The Captain will notify you prior to taking any action upon themselves to change your status and/or deactivating your account.
2. Each Tag must be answered within 14 days. Extensions are allowed if needed. ALL issues involving Real Life (RL) are completely understood and respected, whatever they may be. "Writer's block" is also an acceptable excuse. If that is the case, don't be afraid to ask any other player for help!
3. Don't rely on emails to tell you if you have a tag. Log in to 109's site at least every seven days. We can see the last log in and last posting date for each player.
4. Please keep posts to under 2500 words when possible. If a post goes past 2800 words, please divide your post into parts (i.e. "My Post, Part 1).
5. As per the Player/Character Rules in Theta Fleet, DO NOT write for another Player Character or PNPC. Do not rewrite another person's tag. Fixing typos or punctuation is fine, as we all miss words, apostrophes, commas, etc., from time to time, but do not go beyond that. No one is expected to be perfect.
6. Please keep controversial material to the site's PG-13 level. No detailed brutal violence or gore, no overt sexual details, and no harsh language. If they can't do it in an episode of TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT, then you can't do it here either. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact CF/Captain Francis.
7. The creation and use of Non-Primary Characters (NPCs) is welcome and encouraged. Plots surrounding only NPCs are allowed. See Rules 9 and 10 for further details.
8. All players must be treated with respect by all others players at all times. Any form of discrimination will result in immediate removal from the sim. ALL issues between players must be brought to the Commanding Officer.
9. This sim is a community of writers. While single-player posts and subplots are allowed, all players must engage in Joint Posts (JPs) with at least one other player at least once a month.
10. Plots taking place outside of the Starbase must be crucial to the sim's overall story and must be approved by the Command Team. This sim is called "Starbase 109," not "Starbase 109 and Other Places." Plots involving romantic relationships among characters are allowed as long as they don't become your characters' primary focus. Starbase 109 is not a love shack sim.
