Posted on Fri May 18th, 2012 @ 10:50pm by Admiral Salem Witchwood in General News
For all simmers, these are the Fleet rules, along with a few new ones added by the Admiralty. Please read as these go into effect immediately. The will be also listed in the wiki section of each site.
Without rules Society even in its most minute form would fall, and Quicksilver Fleet is no different. Even still we hold fast to the ideals that this is first and foremost a GAME, and will do everything in our power to keep it fun and entertaining. However; we need your help to keep it such. So we have compiled a list of rules that we as the Admiralty in QSF would like EVERYONE to adhere to.
Characters:
1. When creating a new character, please refrain from using canon character names from any other location, be it Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, or any other movie/book unless given expressed approval from an Admin member. First names OR Last names can be used, however do not use them together. For Example Harry Potter is NOT acceptable, but Harry Jones, or Indiana Potter is fine.
2. When creating a character, please note that magical powers or god-like abilities are not acceptable. If you are playing a non canon race, or one that you have created you are required to send a bio for the race before playing them. (Species are subject to Admiralty Approval)
3. Characters are not allowed to be Borg, or have Borg implants without expressed permission from the Admiralty.
4. All characters are required to have FULL biographies. They should all be original and in no way copy or mimic canon characters. Unless specifically told otherwise, all characters are the property of their creators and are not to be written for. It is up to the Commanding Officer to handle any infringement upon this rule.
5. Characters are not allowed to have Royalty status while serving onboard any ship in the QSF. You may mention that it has been put on hold, but no lording it over another character, this is not acceptable.
6. Unless your Commanding Officer says otherwise, players are allowed to have more than one character per ship, as long as they are listed in the subject heading as which one you are writing for. However since it is up to your CO, their say is final on this matter.
7. It is up to your Commanding Officer to determine promotions. Promotions are widely determined by posting quality, as well as a person's specific assistance in moving a mission, helping a fellow simmer, or assisting the ship in some other way. No one may be promoted to Executive officer with approval from the Admiralty as they may be assigned higher abilities within the website.
8. No characters may be permanently deleted from any simm within the fleet. If a character will no longer be used they are to be made inactive. After sixty days if the simmer determines they will not be bringing this character back, the biography may be erased by the Commanding Officer or XO, however the character name will remain permanently for the ease of crew who wish to verify information on previous posts.
9. The ONLY persons allowed to alter an approved biography for a character in use is the Commanding Officer or XO on the simm. If a crew member wishes to make changes to their biography they must submit those changes to BOTH the Commanding Officer and XO for approval.
10. Once a character is created no simmer may override that information with a new character.
Posting:
1. Please keep all posts realistic. A ship would not have their shields down 98 percent and still attack a Borg cube, nor have their warp engines fixed in fifteen minutes after being totally destroyed.
2. Unless otherwise stated by your CO, you are allowed to post One Mission Entry and One Personal Log in a 24 hour period of time, unless someone else posts after you. If this is the case you are free to post again.
3. Unless otherwise stated by your CO, Quicksilver Fleet does not have a minimum word count for posts, but please remember we are trying to move missions along and post accordingly.
4. Please respect the rating of the ship, and keep your content within it. Posts with explicit material will have it changed by the author or deleted off of the site if it does not comply with the rating.
5. Races, planets, moons, stars, and systems are allowed to be created, however upon doing such it is required that the QSF Admirals be emailed with a description and if possible a picture of your race in order to be added to the database. Email your updates here.
6. Joint posts are a collective effort of two or more simmers. Joint posts are not to be posted as an active post until ALL parties have approved it. The ONLY exception would be if a period (No Less than 48 hours) of time passed and one or more of the simmers were not responding and not replying to requests for them to respond.
Other Fleet Rules:
1. QSF is (unless otherwise noted) a PG-13 fleet. ALL members must be at least 13 years old in order to join. Each ship has a rating; some higher than PG-13, so please respect that. Your Captain is responsible for informing you of their specific ship rating.
2. Poaching* is NOT permitted. This includes PMs and forums. You may RECRUIT over Email or IM, or in a command approved embassy such as a board/yahoo group designed for the same reason. *Poaching is recruiting with the intent of pulling the person to/from QSF or a ship within/outside without the authorization of his or her commanding officer.
3. Racism, insulting, harassing and other generally abusive things are NOT permitted anywhere in QSF. Do not use the posting sites as ways to yell or criticize anyone, or their posts. If a post needs to be changed, the Captain or Executive Officer will be the one to deal with it. Any violation of this could result in A) Moderation, B) Suspension, and C) Termination and banning from this fleet. We do not want an environment that people cannot come freely and have fun, please keep it enjoyable!
4. No member of Quicksilver fleet is allowed to provoke or harass ANY member, nor any outside organization. Violation of this rule could result in expulsion from the fleet.
5. Any person in Command within Quicksilver Fleet (Captain, Admiralty) can simm in other fleets and ships if they so please. HOWEVER, they are NOT allowed to be promoted above Commander, nor hold a position higher than Executive Officer. This is to keep any individual from having a conflict-of-interest between all fleets involved.
6. Quicksilver Fleet reserves the right to remove any person(s) deemed a threat to the safe and fun environment that we strive to create here. However, if you feel you have been removed unfairly; please contact the DFO here
7. System Administrator is to be held by: Admiral Tabolt, Simm Commanding Officer and Executive Officer. No other simmers (Including Admirals) are allowed to hold that access.
8. The ONLY persons allowed to approve new characters are the Commanding Officer and their XO if they so deem so.
9. Copying others work from the sims, books and/or online articles and/or writing off the internet is prohibited. Posts must be unique and written in your own words. Plagerism is not allowed.
10. The fleet chain-of-command is as follows:
Commander In Chief
Director of Fleet Operations
Director of Fleet R & D
Director of Fleet Personnel
Director of Fleet Reports and Recruiting
Director of Starfleet Marines

PRIME DIRECTIVE
As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes the introduction of superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Star Fleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral Obligation.

[Rules]
We now have our rules published once more on the website. I am pleased that I also had to alter them on a second page for our first ever NON TREK simm :) Although they are still a work in progress, please read them and inform your crews that they are required to read them and reference them.
http://quicksilverfleet.com/sfrules.htm - for ST Simms
http://quicksilverfleet.com/nonsfrules.htm - for NON ST Simms
If any of you have anything that you feel needs to be addressed within the rules, or that needs to be added, please email me at admiraltabolt@quicksilverfleet.com. Thanks.
[Requirements]
Posting is not an optional thing; each and every member of our fleet should be posting within the required time. This is not something that is negotiable.
******* ******* ******** ******** ********* ******* ******
Captains please have your stats to me no later than the tenth of each month, they should also be posted to your ships as well. If anyone needs help in doing their stats please let me know. I will be more than happy to assist. If your ship or starbase is not listed that means I didn't get anything from you. Stats are important not only for your crew but for the admirals as well. It helps us it see how each ship in the fleet is doing.

Cook Book!!
In the past there had been talk of a Fleet Cookbook, I know we have some good cooks out there. Please send me any recopies you like. To make it even more fun and interesting please do it by character and ship. For example I'd submit one as Admiral Wilson Starbase Gibralter and my recipe would be No Bake Cookies. I'll collect all recipes and save them until I have enough to publish the cookbook. It will be sent to anyone who would like a copy of it as a word file. I think this would be fun and a chance to see how many different recopies we can collect. Please make sure you title it as Appetizer, Salad, Main Dish, Casserole, Desert ETC.
***** ****** ****** ****** ***** ******* ******
Please remember this is your newsletter too. If you have anything you'd like me to publish send it to me and I'll look it over and include it in a future edition. It can be anything from a wedding, a birthday of you, your spouse, child, anything you'd like to share.

Trivia Time!!!!!!!
While most Trekkies will have known this detail for decades, this is the first time that Uhura has been given a first name on screen: Nyota. Gene Roddenberry never came up with a first name for her, so many thought this meant she did not have one, although in literature, Uhura is often referred to as Nyota by her comrades, and she is also referred to as Nyota Uhura in the DC Comics publication "Who's Who in Star Trek". There are several nods to this history in the movie: first, when Kirk first meets (and hits on) Uhura in a bar and tells her, "if you don't tell me your name, I'm gonna have to make one up," and then when she refuses to tell Kirk her first name throughout the film.
The character that Bruce Greenwood plays, Captain Christopher Pike, was the commanding officer of the USS Enterprise in the unaired Star Trek pilot episode, Star Trek: The Cage. In that episode, Pike was portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter. Initially, the episode was rejected but when a second pilot was ordered, Hunter dropped out of the series so the part was rewritten and recast with William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk. The footage from the unaired pilot was later woven into the episode Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part I.
Majel Barrett, the wife of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, is the voice of the Enterprise computer. She'd also been the computer voice in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager, and had played Pike's first officer in Star Trek: The Cage. She completed her voice-over work from her home, two weeks before her death on December 18, 2008.

From the Executive Officer's Padd:
Awesome job, everyone! Many changes have been made to the site, the manifest(s) etc. and things appear to be flowing smoothly. A new mission will be up soon and if we do a split mission again, the numbering will be in line.. i.e. no matter which mission you are posting on, it will just be the next number in line. And just a reminder, we incourage story lines and ideas, just make sure you have authorization from the CO and/or XO . Thanks for the fun and happy simming!
Col. C. Ford
From the Captain's Padd:
I didn't do any of the awards because the posting has been awesome. Thanks to everyone for their posts and making this a great place to simm. I'm looking forward to where our characters will go in the month to come. It's an honor to serve with all of you.

Couple admin statements I'm going to make born out of irritation. You have something to say you know my email address, NOT the site.
1. From this moment on 5/6/2012 keep your personal (OC) issues out of posts. The command staff will determine if a post is personal and delete it with no chance of rebuttal, I am tired of dealing with this. I come on in a good mood to enjoy myself and I end up spending my time dealing with issues and it needs to stop. If you're upset because a mission doesn't go your way join the club of every other simmer on the simm. Missions go the way that ALL of us as a group write them not one person. None of us are more important to the simm, it is a collective WE! If you're upset because someone isn't interracting with your character the way YOU want them to get over that as well. Each simmer is an individual and their characters are...the fun of the simm is not ALL will like each other or want to date or yes...EVEN marry yours. It's a game...that is G A M E, not real life..
2. If you are in a joint post with others, please check with them and make sure that they are finished before posting. If you do I will allow them to repost having the last word.
If you don't like what I said and want the chance to tell me so, catch me online or email me but DO NOT respond to the site on this...
Thank you,
Brigadier General Radeem.
