A month back I began recruiting a permanent crew for the TSN Falcon. I posted on the forums as well as on my blog and I had many replies about joining the RP group. The TSN Falcon was only to be the first ship, and officers were to be trained and promoted as the RP went on. Eventually, after a couple of months (7/8 sessions) one officer would reach a command role and then be offered a captaincy of their own vessel. They would then have to recruit and train there own crew. The intention was to build a large RP community of ranking officers and trained and experienced crews that could operate independently, or as a larger formation such as a Division. Two problems occurred however. There were a lot of people who wanted to join, but could not make it on a a regular basis, and there were only six places available to begin with. Any additional people wanting to join would have to wait weeks or months until they could become a member of the RP group.
Last night I had an idea to address and solve both these issues. I intend to create a TSN RP community online, which people can join as members no matter what their experience or availability, but which will allow everyone to participate, playing in an RP role and having regular games. I have already written the TSN RP document for people to read and have uploaded it to the Wiki site. I am in the process of re-writing the RP group page of the wiki and making it available from the main page too. In addition to this, I am going to write an 'etiquette' document, detailing the way people should participate in the game (using rank structure, formalities etc).
If you are interested, check out the document for all the details:
