State of the Sim - November 2023

Posted on Sunday November 5th, 2023 @ 2:45pm by Captain Franklin Johnson

Hello Crew,

Time really flies! Already it's November and just yesterday it feels like it was July! So much has happened and yet the Poseidon still flies and still has an absolutely wonderful crew! Theta Fleet has been a massive boon to the sim and I personally thank the staff there for their insurmountable support! Above all, I thank my entire crew - staff and all! - for their unshaking support and absolutely wonderful participation on the sim!

We lost a few players in October. T'vek, after an extensive period of non-participation and due to real life events, was removed from the sim. They will unfortunately not be open to return unless by staff ruling. Meanwhile, Lt. Cmndr. Ysabeau Saint-Pol was removed voluntarily (allowed to return fully!) due to their overwhelming medical issues. We here at the Poseidon, crew and all, pray and eager hope for Saint-Pol's full recovery from this dreadful situation. Ysabeau, we love you!

A few promotions! October saw a few promotions! Sam Perkins was promoted from Lt. Commander to full Commander due to their insane amount of contributions to the sim! Congratulations and well deserved, Sam! Kicil Priadden was also promoted from Lieutenant to Lt. Commander due to their amazing amount of hard work on the sim and full participation! Congratulations and well deserved, Kicil! Congratulations to all!

We had several players celebrate anniversaries! Lt. Cmndr. Jason Elliot and Lt. Cmndr. Ahkhsu Trensu celebrated Six Months! Lt. Cmndr. Erika Itsumi celebrated TWO YEARS! Lt. Cmndr. Michael Stevens celebrated THREE YEARS! Thank you all and congratulations to all!

The sim finally moved forward from Earth Spacedock and is in transit to Tellar! What awaits us? We'll find out soon!
