01.
Your character must be original, and not an established Star Trek
Character or newly found son/daughter of an established character (e.g. Jean-Luc Picard,
Mackenzie Calhoun, Ben Sisko, the Son of Worf, the daughter of Torres and Paris, etc.).
02.
Do NOT give yourself a rank and/or past ranks held by your character.
The Captain will determine that based on your application.
03.
You must post at least once every week, or you will give up your
position, unless you make other arrangements. Make sure to tell your CO you're going on
vacation! However, the more you post, the more likely you are to get promoted!
04.
Do NOT change your ship's Class or Name with out proper authorization.
When you apply for a ship you accept the name, class, and registry number. TFCOs and the
Fleet CO have to keep up with the ships in Bravo Fleet, logistics. If people are changing
names and classes, it makes this impossible. Therefore, we discourage this...but if you
feel you MUST/NEED to make a change, email your TFCO with your reasons and suggestions. On
rare occasions, if a reason is found valid, we will allow a change, however your ship must
of been active for at least 6 months. If a change is allowed, you will be unable to make
another change for at least 9 additional months. The second change will also be the last
one allowed for your simm, period.
05.
Make sure you fill out your application completely!!!! Remember, the
better the Application, the better the rank might be.
06.
Don't recruit in BF for more members. You're welcome to use the
recruiting forum, but look outside for crew, help us grow and not overload players! All BF
COs are welcome to use our Webmaster
Services. This also means other groups aren't allowed to recruit in BF. You wouldn't
want us recruiting in your group, so show a little respect and don't do it to us. Any
group caught recruiting in BF will be warned, noted on our BBL, and our allies informed.
Possibly further action taken if warnings do not work. If a BF member recruits in BF for
another group, he/she will be banned from BF.
07.
All new Bravo Fleet Role Players that do not have any role playing
experience will be brought aboard their ships as a Cadet and should attend the Academy.
Reading through the "Cadet Initial Training" in will help you learn about Bravo
Fleet. Cadets are encouraged to post and participate on their ship while taking the
Training. We also suggest that Role Players new to Bravo Fleet but not Role Playing review
the "Cadet Initial Training" material as well. Remember, this training is to
help you be a better player, it's not an initiation ritual. We also offer Command School
for new commanding officers in Bravo Fleet, and new commanding officers must attend and
pass the 'Command Training' in order to take command of your ship/SB (You'll also need 5
crewmembers, a website, and your TFCO's permission to begin. Remember, ship Commanders are
required to make a website for their ship and recruit a crew.
08.
No cursing (beyond damn or hell, etc.); some people will get offended. A
good rule of thumb is to go by what is done on the series and movies themselves and in the
manner they do it.
09.
No overly sexually posts. Remember, we do have a few young players and
others that will get offended. Kisses, hugs, and the like are fine, but sex and the
details are not. Let's keep things in good taste.
10.
Do not start the ship on a new mission. The CO of each vessel is
responsible for that. Doing so will inevitably cause a story split. If you have a mission
idea, send it to your CO. We cannot emphasize this enough.
11.
This is in the Star TrekŪ universe!!! Triple-sized Nebula-Class
starships do not suddenly appear and release fighters in the middle of a battle! There are
no Light Sabers, Nietzschean, Force Lances, or The Force. Sooo, post accordingly.
Creativity's fine...just don't be ridiculous. This also means you can't destroy the
Enterprise, Voyager, or DS9 or kill Picard, Worf, etc.
12.
Keep in line with the current plot, and try to keep up with where the
other characters on the ship are. Not doing so will inevitably cause a story split.
13.
One Player can only command one ship at a time in the Fleet. This
doesn't mean go out and make a second Email address and Character just to command another
ship. There are more players then just you wanting a command. Besides, you'll find you'll
have too little time to do anything before long.
14.
One player can only have 1 character on any given ship, and a total of 5
in BF. This isn't to limit you, it's so you won't get over loaded and new players have a
chance at the 'good' positions.
15.
Respect your fellow members. Do not kill someone else's character or
make major changes to him/her without it's owner's permission. This includes injuring
them, killing family members or designated NPCs, or even killing pets.
16.
If you resign, tell your CO. If you are a ship CO, inform your TFCO.
Send them an email one on one and explain why and include your crew's email addresses.
When you resign, you will be unable to command again in BF for 90 days. This allows others
the chance to command and gives you time to truly decide if you wish to command again. We
ask you not to announce your resignation of the BFCOs list or your TF's COs list. Many COs
have expressed that they do not wish to receive this. It also looks bad to new COs. If you
wish to say goodbye to fellow COs, email them one on one after you tell your TFCO. If you
do send it to the list, an additional 6 months will be added to the 90 days.
17.
Bravo Fleet is a PBeM group. All simms, unless otherwise approved by
your TFCO and the FCO, must be PBeM. If you want to simm in another fashion then PBeM you
MUST request and receive permission before setting up your game other then PBeM. This also
means no simming in BF's IRC channel, #BravoFleet or BF's Forums.
18.
Have Fun! This is a game after all! 
Failure to follow these rules could mean demotion, removal from command,
probation in the game, suspension from the game, and total removal from the game (if you
are removed from the game, your address and what you did to be removed will be placed on
the Bad Boy List for all CO's to see, so you aren't re-added to a simm).
