Rules
Our Rating:
Members are expected to adhere to the rules and regulations of both the simulation (simm) and fleet, both in-character and out-of-character. It is essential to remember that Poseidon Station is designed to be a place for enjoyment and fun, prioritizing these aspects above all else.
1. All characters submitted must be original creations with comprehensive biographies. The Command Staff will assess the character's acceptability and determine the starting rank based on the application.
2. Prohibited character types include:
Non-Humanoid Races (e.g., big rock creatures, Tribbles)
Q, Iconians, Dowd
Androids
Borg in the Collective
Shapeshifters
Jem-Hadar still in the Dominion
Vorta still in the Dominion
Suliban
Species 8472
Augments/Angosians/Genetically engineered individuals (in Starfleet/Marine positions only)
Races from non-Star Trek continuities
3. While creativity is encouraged, custom races are not allowed due to their difficulty in integration within the storyline.
4. The game enforces a +15 age requirement, and any player found to be younger than 15 will be immediately removed from the game.
5. Disputes should be handled in an out-of-character (OOC) manner. OOC disagreements should not manifest "In-Game." If further assistance is needed, the involved parties can escalate the matter up the Chain of Command. The Command Staff holds the final authority in all disputes, and their decisions should be respected.
6. All players must demonstrate respect for individual members of the simm both in-game and out of character. While realistic interactions are encouraged, any form of harassment or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
7. No player is allowed to inflict serious harm on another character without the explicit permission of that player. Similarly, causing substantial damage or destruction to any part of the ship requires approval from the Commanding Officer or Executive Officer.
8. Approval from the Command Staff is mandatory for all subplots to ensure they do not interfere with the current or planned mission.
1. Advancements within this game are contingent upon your level of engagement, both in-game and outside of it. Simply put, the more active you are, the higher the likelihood of earning additional rewards. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to contact the Trio of Trouble on the Discord server.
2. All simm members are obligated to sustain their activity levels. We expect a minimum of 2 to 3 posts per month per player. The vitality of a good simm relies on the activeness of its members who contribute to advancing the ongoing storyline. While higher posting rates are acceptable, meeting the specified requirements is sufficient, and no member will face penalties for doing so. In the case of lengthy posts split into two parts, please designate them as Part 1 or Part 2.
3. Department Heads must make two posts per month to retain their positions.
4. Replies to tags must be made within 2-3 days. If you are unable to reply, kindly use Discord to inform other players involved in the post, keeping them informed about the situation.
1. Any player unable to maintain their activity must submit a Leave of Absence (LOA) request through the designated Discord channel. Players planning an absence exceeding one calendar month must request an Extended Leave of Absence (ELOA). Both LOAs and ELOAs must specify the anticipated return date.
2. Players with approved LOA or ELOA are exempt from regular posting requirements until their return to the sim.
1. Players may receive warnings for inactivity or other professional infractions, with these warnings remaining on record for a duration of six months. Advance notification will be provided before issuing a warning. Individuals removed from the simm for negative reasons will undergo a 90-day ban before they are eligible to reapply.
3. While the use of character pictures is encouraged, they must adhere to a tasteful standard. Images featuring nudity, explicit sexual content, or inappropriate themes will not be allowed, and their acceptability is subject to the discretion of the Command Staff. Unsuitable images will be promptly removed without prior notice. Each active character is permitted up to three images, and each Player Non-Player Character (PNPC) is allowed one image. Images associated with deleted, removed, or inactive characters will be taken down. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the deletion of images. It is essential to name all images with the character's last name and a numerical identifier, such as "harrington1.jpg," "harrington2.jpg," and "harrington3.jpg."
