Haven't seen or heard of them lately. Maybe they've been waiting for a good chance to stab us in the back?

These guys didn't seem that thrilled about being forced to go home...
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Krenim
Just cause they have the whole timeship thingy...
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Ilari
These guys would be pissed at us, I think...

[Joey]

also the email program is set up, now do I try to intergrate it with LCARS or go as is?

working on LCARS to try it

http://www.insigniahosting.com/index_files/email/setup.php so far...


[edit= A few more tweaks and ill be done]

[squiggy]

That's fine.
We still don't have anything to build off of.

[Joey]

hey my first idea sucked, so what makes you think the second would be any better?

[squiggy]

The idea doesn't suck PER SAY; It just needs to be properly defined.
For example, we need to work on the naians a bit, cause we have nothing much about them. It's hard to do something with an enemy we don't know anything about.
This doesn't mean our CHARACTERS need to know much about them, but we do, because we need to keep a running storyline.
So far, I've liked a couple of Founder's Rules to adapt them for our uses.
1) No direct relationships((except cat, of course.))
This is a first for me:
2) Use as much cannon as possible! We're going to clearly define a few things, including the polaron torpedoes, ship capabilities, etc, based on CANNON facts, and adapt them only as much as necessary. The naians aren't listed as a cannon species, which means they don't need to follow cannon rules, giving them an extra head up on us. Just cause we don't have... say... organically based warp drive that heals itself, or something like that, doesn't mean THEY don't.

A couple of rules I'm also putting in:
3)Sub-plots will be permitted, however, Founder recently informed me how devastating they can be for the main plot. THEREFORE ALL SUB-PLOTS MUST BE CLEARED WITH EITHER JOEY, OR ME PRIOR TO STARTING IT.
4)Sub-plot submissions will only be accepted through e-mail, not private message. I will set up the e-mail account once joey puts it together, but the address will ((HOPEFULLY)) be:
[email protected]
5)Ship stats will be completed prior to the rpg being launched. I'm going to take the Intrepid stats and hopefully add a little more color to them, with joey/cat's help. However, I need a couple of things. For example: What's the difference between POLARON TORPEDOES and PHOTON torpedoes.... You know. Stuff like that. You talk temporal mechanics, that's one thing, but you talk about unexplained mechanics... and we have to explain them.
6) Command Structure set-up! We need to work this one out, Joey/Cat. Who wants to be the captain? Or is it gonna be me?
7)NPC Characters: There are going to be alot of them. Why? Because otherwise it's hard to run an RPG.


The UPGRADED Starfleet LCSARS system will include a significant amount of automated services as well. Things like routine maintenance programs will all be computer run, however, an NPC will likely play jobs like shuttle bay operator.

[Joey]

the email thing is now just working on detail instructions


LCSARS?

their is a CoC(chain of command) you can set up yourselg Soj, so people can see

Im also working on a way to see what emails have been taken

[squiggy]

I don't have a log in name
((Can you pm it?))

Does cat still want to be captain? Cause if she does, that's cool. I have a sub-plot that would only work if someone else is the captain. I have alot of ideas, and I'm asking for your help, founder's help, cat's help, and I wouldn't mind enlisting tanya's help in refining and restraining them, because some of them will be way out there.((Vicodin. Sorry.))
I wouldn't mind being the captain, but I'd also be interested if someone else would want to be the captain, because I was contemplating using a Section 31 styled character as a "first officer", who, while wearing a commander sash, is actually an admiral from S31, however, this wouldn't be revealed until later on...
Lots of ideas. We need to work something out with them, yours, cat's, founders, and tanya's. We've got 5 heads! We can do this!

[Joey]

sign up goofball

[squiggy]

Oh... *erm*... yes. I suppose that would help.

[Joey]

then again if I made you an account i could have known your password (as they are encrypted into a database i would not know otherwise, unless you told me)

[squiggy]

Tanya came up with this brilliant idea of having the naians attack betazoid because they were annoyed with the federation's expansion/exploration...
I think it would work good.

[Jeanna]

[squiggy]

lol!

-
Ship deck list is up... I'm waiting to see if it seems relatively cannon, based on the fact that the Intrepid II is a deck larger then the original intrepid.

-
Joey! That e-mail thing is mean! It won't let me set up accounts! -,-

[Joey]

>Email thing is NOT setup yet!< ill post an annoucement when it is

Jeanna what did you mean by that?

[Jeanna]

sorry it for some reason did the wrong quote. I meant Tanya was me.

[Joey]

Oh that threw me off a little

[squiggy]

The basic start of the storyline:
The naians have been annoyed with starfleet for some years now, however, they have not made this reason known.
Nobody has seen an Naian before, and the only thing that is known about them is that they are agressive, and tend to be bad at social gatherings.

Meanwhile, Section 31's Commander and Chief, Fleet Admiral Laurent Van den Haus has seen this as such a threat that he himself has gone undercover on the newly commissioned Intrepid II class vessel the USS Cathexis.
The Admiral, who is currently "Acting Commander" is informed prior to his leaving S31 that his wife is pregnant. He then sends her to betazed to keep her safe.

The Project Admiral, Admiral Joey Kupo's role has yet to be determined, and there is still a chance the current captain may resign.

The Chief of Security has been temporarily demoted for unsportsmanly conduct, and Lt. Nicky Stokes is current acting chief of security.

The Chief Medical Officer has been known to get lost amongst the ship, so if you find her wandering about in unauthorized areas, politely remind her.

[squiggy]

I hate the fact that barely a week into actually STARTING this rpg, I've had to elaborate on a few of the site rules.
Harassment of any form is not tolerated on ANY site joey hosts.
And guess what? We've already got a member who is inches away from being banned for that reason.

[Founder]

I'm sorry to hear about the problems that are occuring, squiggy. Sometimes, you have to get tough with the members or they'll simply ignore you. Trust me, I'm an RPG GM, I know.

[Joey]

Site owners are god like-can ban IPs easy

[squiggy]

I haven't checked in yet this morning, but I'm pretty sure, after the amount of scolding Mr. "Malcom White" got from that, that he is very much well aware of the zero tolerance rule, and that he will hopefully either:
1) Adhere to the rules a wee bit better
or of course there's always the second option
2)Get banned.

[squiggy]

JOEY BROKE IT WHILE UPDATING!
j/k
Site will be down for a short little bit.
**UP again.**

[Joey]
