Alpha Star Trek Sim discussion

I don't know if they CAN. They are limited according to the servers, I think.

Damn, that sucks for us...

I set up word documents for PM conversations with the other powers. I copy over each message and my reply in order and only keep the latest PM in my inbox. Lets me keep a nice record of communications between the powers.

Well one thing that will help is if we set up folders for this stuff, I know I have a SIM, a STAPLIC SIM, and also a DITL BATTLE folder with rules to auto sort, so from now on:

Anything pertaining to the SIM modded by BIG will contain somewhere in the Subject: SIM

Anything pertaining to the SIM modded by myself will contain somewhere in the Subject: STAPLIC, but WILL NOT contain the word SIM.

If we do this it should make playing/running a SIM a lot easier on myself and BIG

I get so many PMs that I just can't keep up sometimes...

For alliances, it would be nice if we had private subsections for us to talk in so we could avoid the mess. Though that would cause a mess of its own as people shift alliances. There's really no way out of it.

It would also be bad because there's nothing stopping someone from the ISA from looking in on the KAA or vice versa

The simple way to do this for alliances is to setup a google document sharing group. I would highly suggest it for those working closely together. You can just post what you want there and I believe set a distritubiton list of emails which will notify people of any changes.

If they are private then the Admins would just set who's allowed to look where.

Umm, how do you do that?

[Lt. Staplic]

google, "google docs" set up an account and create

I'd suggest renaming both SIMS.

Big's as Alpha Sim and Stapics as Beta Sim.

Easiest thing.

Better yet, can you have group discussions via Skype?

[Lt. Staplic]

Unfortunately I don't think so.

That to... but I don't know who here has skype other then Big, Staplic and myself.

[Lt. Staplic]

plus unless your talking directly to the GM, the rule of thumb is nothing on skype is IC

[Deepcrush]

We could however plan out our IC actions then put it into an IC showing for him afterwards.
