My Friends,

We’ve built a community where stories have come alive, where friendships have grown, and where we’ve supported each other through life’s ups and downs. Poseidon Station has been our collective creation, a place where our imaginations ran wild and our connections grow.

Please know, this wasn’t an easy decision. In fact, it’s one of the hardest I’ve had to make in a while, but it’s what’s best for both me and the game.

Sometimes, life takes us in directions we don’t expect, and we have to make choices that reflect where we are now. Please take comfort in knowing that what we’ve accomplished together will always be here in our memories, and the stories we’ve told will always be around.

I want to thank each of you, sincerely, for everything you’ve brought to Poseidon Station. Every post, every character, every shared moment has meant more to me than I can express.

As hard as this moment is, I hope we can all take a step back and be proud of what we’ve done here.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I wish you all nothing but the best in your future endeavors, in writing and beyond.

Take care, and keep writing.

Your Friend Jakers!!

My friends,

It is with mixed emotions that I write this message. Throughout our journey together, we’ve experienced the highs and lows of storytelling and life. We’ve seen players come and go, families grow, and, sadly, some losses along the way. Through it all, Poseidon Station has been a place of camaraderie, creativity, and friendship. But as with all things, the time has come for this chapter to close.

It’s never easy to say goodbye, but we can look back with pride at what we’ve created together—each post, each character, and each story is a testament to our collective imagination and dedication to friendship.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions, your time, and your commitment. Whether you’ve been here from the start or joined later on, you’ve left a mark on this sim, and for that, I am forever grateful. Let us celebrate the memories we’ve made, the friendships we’ve forged, and the incredible world we’ve built. Though Poseidon Station may end, the connections we’ve formed will endure forever.

It’s important to remember that as one adventure ends, new ones are always on the horizon. The ebb and flow of our hobby mirrors life itself—constantly changing, evolving, and presenting us with new opportunities for creativity and connection. While Poseidon Station may be closing, it’s not the end of our journeys as writers, role-players, or friends. Many of us will move on to new games, craft new characters, and tell new stories. This change is not something to be feared but embraced, as it allows us to grow, learn, and continue sharing our passions with others. The beauty of this hobby lies in our ability to bring people together, no matter the distance, and that, in itself, is a lasting gift.

So, as we wind down, the site will remain open for two more weeks. During this time, please feel free to collect any character information, stories, or anything else you wish to keep. I hope this allows everyone the chance to archive your work and bring closure to your individual stories.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, both in writing and in life.

With deepest appreciation and respect,
Jakers
Game Master, Poseidon Station

Hello Poseidon Station Crew,

We hope everyone is having a great summer, despite the usual busyness that comes with vacations, family time, and the occasional bout of illness. We wanted to send a friendly reminder about our activity guidelinea to ensure our game remains vibrant and engaging for everyone.

As a quick recap:

1) Each member should attempt to contribute 2 posts per month. While higher activity is always welcome, meeting this standard is vital for the storyline's progression.

2) Department Heads need to make two posts per month in order to help with storyline movement.

3) Replies to tags should be made within 48 hours, if possible. If you’re unable to respond within this timeframe, please inform the involved players via Discord.

We've all had a crazy few months; myself included. So, we understand that life can get hectic, and maintaining these activity levels can sometimes be challenging

If you’re finding it tough to keep up or need any assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to any of the GMs (Jake, Howie, Cynthia, or Chris). We’re here to support you and help in any way we can.

Remember, the success of Poseidon Station depends on our collective efforts. Let’s continue to create fantastic stories together!

Best regards,

The Poseidon Station GM Team

Good Afternoon Poseidonites,

Now that things have settled down, it's time to get things rolling again. I'm excited to be back and work with the Quartet. We already have some plans in place that should help the game move forward.

Here are some of the plans for the future:

1) Pages Mission Update: My first step is to push the Pages mission forward. I know things have stalled a bit, but after reading the posts, I think we're really close to wrapping this one up. We should be able to finish it within the month (lord willing).

2) New Commanding Officer: Get ready for the new Commanding Officer's arrival. I have some intriguing ideas, and I'm sure his presence will stir up a lot of gossip. Let's just say the station won’t be rolling out any red carpet welcome. (evil grin).

3) Moving Past Summer: I know everyone has been busy with illness, vacations, work, and lots of real-life drama. But it’s time to dust off the keyboard, fire up Windows (or Edge, or Chrome, or whatever you use), and get back into writing. My hope is that we can start introducing smaller subplots into the story so departments that don’t have a lot of tasks still have something to write about. If you have an idea for your department and think it’s good, message me! I love ideas you -- all know this!!

4) Rescue Mission: Lastly, we have to rescue Neil! (maybe)

After being dragged back into things (kicking and screaming), it’s time to fire things up and get back into writing with my peeps! So, let’s reignite our creativity. I’m excited to see where our adventures take us next.

Happy Simming Everyone,

Cmdre. RJ Walker

» 8th Annual JP Contest

Posted on 03/28/2023 @ 4:43am by Captain Cornelius Harrington in Sim Announcement

Welcome to the Simm’s Annual Joint Post Contest


What follows are the guidelines for the Game's Annual Joint Post Contest. There are some differences from previous contests, so make sure you read the following carefully. This contest will take place during the mission Pages.

I will keep track of the points and announce the winner at the end of the contest. For the winning crew member, you will get to select one of the prizes listed below.

Sounds easy, right? Well, there are a few rules you must follow in order to win. So, let’s get that part over with.

Da Rules

1. The Player must be actively involved in the JP; one or two lines won’t count. We also will not count Staff Briefings as these are required posts.

2. JPs can be any topic, not just character development or mission related.

3. JPs must be of a significant word count in length, no 3-paragraph JPs. This is supposed to be a contest, after all.

4. The Player should attempt to do a Joint Post with every game member. The point of this is to get out and interact with as many people as possible. Doing 20 JPs with only one player is excellent, but please spread the love a little. Winners will be determined by the number of JPs and the number of crew members interacted with.

5. The Player can use any main character or PNPC they see fit.

Rewards

1. Pick the next shore leave theme; all members must follow your theme.

2. Be Acting Captain at some point during the next mission, not for the entire mission, just during the mission.

3. Do anything you want to a single member of the Command Team without in-game repercussions. Cannot be sexual in nature, sorry!

4. Help develop a mission built around your character (you will need to commit to being active for this).

May the odds be ever in your favor, and I look forward to great posts, lots of fun, and the most meaningful interaction between players.

~Jakers
