I recommend creation of this Sim Award be created to recognize valuable group communication.

Indeed, it is only right for hosts to be at least co-Admins. I say that, though, haunted by the epic Jconserv disaster. Once it was one of the largest forum hosts in the world (as I understand).

If there are misunderstandings, I encourage them to openly discuss them with the group in OOC threads. We're a team of peers who shouldn't feel afraid t...

Attack of the Flying Saucers! Remember all those 1950's space movies where the flying saucers made right angle turns at high speed? Well, they're back. Their partially extradimensional infrastructure allows them to violate known physics. The alien vehicles in Robinson Crusoe on Mars 1964 is another...

OTouvelli, Actually, I only need to offer the proverbial carrot, but I don't need the stick. I'm prolific enough of a writer that missions progress with or without participation. Initially, my pace was too fast for some people to keep pace, but hopefully I've improved in that area. I encourage and w...
