All
crew who are not a Department Head must complete one (1) quality post
every two weeks. A quality post is at least three paragraphs long (eighteen
to twenty-one sentences). Failure to post during the two weeks will result
in a warning. If a crewmember fails to post after three weeks, a strike
will be given. Failure to post after four weeks will result in a second
strike and demotion. Failure to post after five weeks will result in a
third strike and removal from the ship. |

All
Department Heads must complete one (1) quality post every week. Failure
to post during the one week will result in a warning. If a DH fails to
post after two weeks, a strike will be awarded. Failure by a DH to post
after three weeks will result in the DH being removed as the DH of their
respective department, demotion, and a second strike will be awarded.
Failure to post after five weeks will result in a third strike and removal
from the ship. |

If a crewmember is going to be absent for more then two (2) weeks or a
Department Head is going to be absent for more then one (1) week, a Leave
of Absence (LOA) must be requested by said crew. An Extended Leave of
Absence (ELOA) is for any crew who will be gone for more than four (4)
weeks. |

Regardless
of any previous simming experience, a Commanding Officer may require a
Fleet Member to sit and pass the Cadet Academy. Until the Fleet Member
has passed the Cadet Academy, they may hold rank no higher than Lieutenant
(Junior Grade). If the crewmember drops out of the Academy anytime before
finishing their lessons, the Fleet requires that the Commanding Officer
remove them from the ship. |

It
is for your Commanding Officer to determine promotions/demotions and appointments
at their discretion. Promotions are based largely on posting quality and
quantity and any other help given with the sim. There are limits on what
ranks may hold what positions but allowances can usually be made in certain
circumstances. |

Posting
language must, at all times, be proper and polite and respectful of other
Fleet Members. Light to mild swearing is permitted, however Fleet Members
must exercise good judgment as to what is acceptable. The same applies
for descriptions of violence. Overtly sexual material is not acceptable.
The Obsidian Fleet Equal Opportunities Policy must be followed by all
players. If in doubt, a player should err on the side of caution. If it
is felt by the CO, XO, or another player that the posting language crossed
the line a warning to stop will be issued by the CO to the offending player.
Failure to cease the language will result in immediate removal. |

All
characters must be original and have a full biography created by their
players. They must not copy canon Star Trek characters (Kirk, Spock,
Picard etc.). It is for the Commanding Officer (or the Office of Personnel
Management in their absence) to determine the final acceptability of
any character information. Characters are the property of the players
creating them and may not be used without their consent save for moving
the plot on in a minor and acceptable manner. |

Please
keep your posts realistic. There are no such things as nebula-sized quintuple-nacelled
Galaxy Classes. If you have 2% structural integrity remaining, you are
likely to retreat and repair rather than perform an attack on the Borg
home world. |

The
USS Camelot is a PG15+ SIMM. What does this mean to us?
Well, simply this, while we may touch upon sensitive adult topics, we
will continue to tell our story in a respctful manner without extreme
graphic violence, excessive profanity, or pornographic material. |

All strikes remain until six months after they were awarded. |
