Billet

"Billet" is the military term for job.



Rank is

CO and GM

Someone runs the sim. For live Star Trek sims, this person is usually called the "CO" or Commanding Officer. They can also be called the GM or Game Master.

PC

Each simmer has a PC or playing character. In Star Trek sims the CO/GM is also a simmer.

NPC

Sometimes there are non playing characters, NPCs. These characters may be used for several games or just for one scene. Their purpose is to enchance and augment the story game.

Email Sim

Some sims are played are played out soley by email or on message boards. These are called "email sims". "PBEM" means Post By Email.

Live Sim

The Adventures of the USS Eagle is a live sim. A "live sim" is an online game that takes place in a chatroom.


Actions and dialog are typed by everyone who plays in response to other actions that have happened. There are special codes to use that tell people in a chat room if something is a thought or action. These can vary from game to game. No special code is used to denote speech. These codes go both at the beginning and end of a thought or action.



Actions

The most common action codes are:

A pair of colons ::eating breakfast::
A single asterisk * drinking orange juice*


Thoughts

For thoughts or telepathic conversations, some sims use:

A single tilda (curvy line) ~Oh no!~
A pair of tildas ~~What are you doing here?~~


Actions run by the CO/GM are usually typed in all capital letters.

ACTION: THE TRACTOR BEAM FAILS.

Here is an example of how it fits together in a live sim. Each line is a separate line in the chatroom that you would see displayed. The part in parethesis denotes the name of the character which would be obvious if this was typed and sent in a real chat room.



Sample Sim

BEGIN SIM!

(XO) ::On the planet, searching for the missing Ensign::

DOWN ON THE PLANET/XO ACTION: YOU FEEL SOMETHING STICKY DRIP ON YOU FROM THE FOLIAGE ABOVE.

(XO) ::feels something sticky drop on him::

(XO) ::looks up at the tree canopy to see what it is::

(XO) ~~Oh no! It can't be! I better warn the others...~~

(XO) ::looks warily above and flips the communicator open:: Captain I have found...

END SIM!
