Hey guys, some of you meantion a Duty Roster is that for the whole ships crew or just a Med Bay thing? and is there a link to it at all? 

TIA

...is on the first page of this Q&A thread Alverstar; under the heading "Department Schedules".

Lol cheers Eol - either missed it first time or have nover gone back

Things like that can sometimes be easy to miss when posts are flying.

There ya go, one post.  I backdated it for the previous Saturday night.  It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the plot, but I hope that it's fun to read.

Man, this is great!

I was super busy today, but I'm going to try to go ahead and bump the game forward.  CameTo Play - I'll work that collab with you, sorry I haven't done my part yet!

lol @ Ragnar's post.

Couple things to keep in mind:

Please check out the post formatting stuff here: www.rdinn.net/view_topic.php?topicid=4537&page=1

No funky colors; use your italics foor internal thoughts,  wrap computer/communicator stuff =/\=with these tags=/\=, etc.

Also - backpost to your heart's content.  Please do not jump ahead in time without consulting with me first.  I can be a sneaky jerk with plans for suprises in store, so you should never assume that tomorrow will arrive in schedule. 

Oh my! That was certainly entertaining... Poor Aoife!  ...aaaand, now I'm inspired to follow it up with a bit from Megan.

A word on duty schedules:

Page one of this Q&A thread contains the duty schedule, which shows who is in charge of every department during any given shift.  The number one reason this exists is to help provide a quick reference for our players; that way, you will know when your character has command, when your character is expected to be on the bridge, or you'll be able to quickly see who would be at a given station at any given time.  This helps us have in-universe consistency across everyone's posts.

Understand though, that the schedule is NEVER meant to limit the game or prevent you from playing. 

For instance, I'm about to make a post as Captain Drake for 2/15.  According to the schedule, Drake has command on Saturday Alpha - and Ltjg. Reid is the only other PC on duty.  Literally every other department head is off shift at that time (most get Saturday off). 

Well, we are due to arrive in the Calican system during Saturday Alpha.  So does that mean that you can't post?

To the contrary, it's generally understood that on "important" dates that we are aware of ahead of time, all senior personnel are to be on duty.  After all, you work for Starfleet - not the local mechanic shop or bakery or whatever.  Generally, we will always want to have the most qualified people avialable in known situations of demand.  So you can expect to be on duty, figuring that you'll trade shifts or whatever as best you can.  Remember that lives can and do depend on your character doing their job, so sometimes, you just may have to work some overtime.

That said, there is some leeway here.  Merideth has posted that this is Callie's off day, and she's already talked this over with the aCEO.  Truth be told, Lt. Sa'eridon is certainly plenty qualified to oversee repair of a navigational beacon, so Commander Kennedy is perfectly fine maintaining her schedule.  On the other hand, we would probably expect to have more senior staff at the helm, at Ops, etc than a handful of NPC enlisteds... at least when we enter a system for the first time.  Just in case. 

So, bottom line - if it makes sense for your department head character to be on the bridge in am expected, planned situation... you should assume that they are there, no matter what t he schedule says.  The schedule is more for dealing with the day to  day scenarios.

Make sense?

I guess I am glad that I didn't kill off Sa'eridon... She's quite the busy little NPC.

LoL

...cat-folk are cuddly, adoreable, and dangerous. They tend to garner a bit of attention.

Also- I was just looking at the roster and noticed that we actually have 3 Caitians on the crew. How did I miss that before now?

Yeah, two of them have been here for some time.  I think only one is new.  

Here's hoping that OPS and ENG have considered this...

I missed that too.  That's fun.  The litter box idea is great.  Maybe we can add a 'red light' laser game to the options available in the Aerie too.  Get all three of them going.

Sorry guys... those (there are two posts from me) were a little long, but Eol and I were enjoying ourselves.  Hope you enjoy reading it.  

Now we just need to get to the navigation beacon.  Sa'eridon is itching to get to work I think after getting a good night's rest.

Beautiful stuff.  I always love anything to do with Megan... man, is Kennedy full of layers or what? 

Beautiful stuff.

Sorry I didn't get my post up quite yet, but I will have the story bumped tomorrow.  Fo sho.
