Hey all.

I just joined, completely unaware this world existed. I played in several Star Trek sims and wondered if there were any more sim universes. well here you are.

Anyway this one seems a very different future than the one I'm used to. I'll create a new character who is just out of school like someone suggested. I found a few sims, some of them had over 50 pages currently into the story. I'm wondering if there are any new chapters that are starting or have just started? I'd like to join at the beginning for the long haul.
 
I have to say that this would be better located in the Starlight Lounge forum.

Either way, welcome to the community, enjoy your stay, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
 
Well, now that you mention it ;)
I just submitted my character info to the new character section... But I copy and pasted the forum into the message, but I think I might have to add it to the Wiki first but I don't know how to add a new page?

EDIT:
Oh my... I think I may have just deleted my character :\
 
Welcome to the SARP, Geodessia. I'm Doshii Jun, a character reviewer for the site.

Basically, there are no "chapters." We operate with plots — GMs host a plot for any players that sign up for it. We keep a list of active plots here.

Head here for character creation.

Adding a page to the wiki is rather easy to begin. You go to a character page (let's use Doshii's character page for Yukari as an example, though it doesn't really matter... --> https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=ch ... uka_yukari ). Note that the character pages have "character:" before the name in the address. Then, in your address bar, take out the character name, and replace it with the name of your character. In this case: remove suzuka_yukari and replace it with...let's call the new character "numa". So your end result will be: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=characters:yamatai:numa

Now you will be taken to a page that says that this page doesn't exist. Up in the left corner, in the dark blue bar, will be a link saying "Create this page". If you click that, you are taken to an edit screen where you may enter the info for your character.

It's that easy : )

Also, just as a side note, you may need to make an account with the wiki to edit and create new pages in it.

Doshii's mostly right...I don't know if you mean "Chapter" = "Plot" or "Chapter" = "Part of a plot"...I've seen a few sims that use "chapter" divisions for entire storylines. But I also know that each GM is a little different in how they define chapters here. In my case, I use chapter divisions to break up a single story which otherwise would turn into a very, very long thread.

Each plotship on the page Doshii linked to is active...I'm not sure which ones have just recently started new plots though. It would probably be best just to jump into one. Since your character would be new, it would open up opportunities for you to ask about what's going on, which you can also do OOCly.

I hope this helps : ) And welcome to the SARP.
 
That wouldn't happen to be an image of a Pensketch tablet, would it? Oh, and welcome to SARP. I'm Exhack, a GM on two beginner-friendly plots (one starting, one in the works). If you have any trouble finding a place to go, feel free to contact me.
 
It's a cropped version of an image I saw on DeviantArt, featuring a robot-shaped "uber workstation."
 
Gah. It's just that I just picked one up, and that image, from that angle, looks a hell of a lot like the large plastic object sitting on my desk.
