These Guidelines have been based on previous email simulations, most notably the USS Galaxy...thankyas! Introduction: The USS Wraith SIM is a role playing game that is played via e-mail. It is a cooperative story telling effort, where each participant (player) creates and controls one of the characters in the story. This Player Character (PC) then acts and lives in the game world environment. In this case, the setting is the 24th century, 2374, in the Star Trek universe. If you are familiar with role playing games, then you understand the processes involved in creating a character for a game. In a traditional role playing game, there are sets of rules that govern what abilities and characteristics your character possesses. In the USS Wraith SIM, your character biography serves this purpose. It will explain key points about your character so that the other players can visualize and interact with you correctly when they write their parts of the story. In a way, this simplifies the process, as you do not need to read complicated role playing manuals to figure out how to create your character. You simply have to put pen to paper, (or indeed finger to keyboard!) and let your imagination paint a picture of who you will be in the Star Trek universe on board the USS Wraith. In the USS Wraith SIM, you are not limited by hard coded rules from a fixed role playing system. You are left open to your imagination, and the confines of the Star Trek universe. Keep that in mind as you create a character. Think of what is real and possible in the Star Trek universe and what is not. The GM/CO will provide you with a current e-mail listing of all the players in the game. You should update your e-mail address book to include all of the players. Next, the GM/CO will e-mail each of the players a copy of your 'official' character biography. (This will also be displayed on the Wraith Website) You should read through all of the Crew Bios on the website to familiarize yourself with the other characters that you will be interacting with. It is also a great way to get ideas on how to write a biography. It is a good idea to read through the last several Data Logs to get a feel for the style, and frequency of the other players posting into the game. That way you can get familiar with the characters (stars) of the SIM, and also come up to speed on the current story line. Though not required, it is recommended that you have access to an Internet web browser (Internet Explorer, or Netscape for example). The USS Wraith website will be the central database depository for all of the SIM information. It will be a valuable reference 'bible' in your writings. With it you will have instant access to everyone's character biographies, the current e-mail addresses of all of the players, and a complete record of all the previous stories and posts through out the SIM. If you haven't yet had an opportunity to check out the USS Wraith website, it can be found at the following URL (if you aren't here already): |
