If you peek at the roster, you’ll note that it has been reorganized. Hopefully that will make it easier to see if a particular primary role is filled or not, though we do have many civilians hidden. We hope to do an MOTD revamp where these characters will be visible, among other useful changes.

REMINDER: The posting limits for Cabinet level and Starfleet DH characters is 5 days; All other Starfleet JOs, Government workers, Shop/Establishment Owners and civilians are 7 Days. You should be keeping to these limits with any rostered characters. If you’re struggling with this for your secondary characters, we would prefer they be hidden. Remember to note LOAs on your profile and take it off when you return to posting. Let’s all do our part to help keep the roster in the green.


I’m working on a master document that everyone can contribute to that will have all the updated descriptions for the colony. I want to make sure we have fantastic resources that enhance the RP aspect. Having the History is super important but what we really need is updated information that can help inspire different threads. There is never nowhere to post on Oed. Just pick a place and write there. ;) It’ll be the Oed Brochure 3.0 and be a temp doc until we are in a position to update the static page. You can help with this document by emailing or DMing me descriptions or links to descriptions of any place that we RP in on Oed. You do not have to have a character who has ownership over the place. If it’s bene described, it’s fair game and we will collate the answers. A few examples:

-shop/establishment descriptions with ‘Ads’ (tell me what the shop/establishment is all about. What would entice people to go there?)
-Government Tower layouts- number of floors, who has offices there and their descriptions for how people get in to see a member (ie. who do they check-in with when they arrive etc.)
-Other Government & Starfleet Facilities
-things I’m sure I’ll think of later but aren’t coming to mind. Go ahead and read my mind. If you’ve RP’d in a place and intend to do so again, by all means, send me info and I’ll add it.


Oed no longer has a dome, and as such means that we are no longer bound by geographical limitations. The settlement itself is expanding quickly (I hope to have a map in the near future) and while we might not RP this anytime soon, the reality is that there is no reason we can’t start up additional settlements. With that in mind, now would be the perfect time to NAME the current and original settlement. So please add your suggestions. We’ll narrow it to a short list and then everyone can vote on the one they like.

If you have other ideas, please don’t hesitate to let James and I know.

Happy plotting!

And one additional note to Linds’s fantastic State of the Colony post…

Just because hour character is hidden is not a reason not to post with them. While secondary characters may not be the focus of your story (stories), all characters should be at least moderately active. If you aren’t posting with a hiddrn character at least twice a month, think about having them taken off the roster and use them under the guise of your rostered character. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but we want the roster active even if we are the only ones looking at it

Question....a few years ago, I used a location mentioned in the....something ....I don’t recall where I found it. Basically it’s a resort area that was to be built around a lake with cabins etc that had been left unfinished. It would have been under the dome, so therefore outside the main city. Am I OK to use that (and still and unfished project)? I had this is my mind for Orlandos story for sometime. If not, I will think of something else, no biggie

BTW you two are doing a fantastic job with OED.
