I am not sure if this is the proper place to put this, but I have never participated in something like this before, so being newly assigned aboard the Callisto, I have no idea how to jump in and get involved in the story .....I am not even sure where the story is right now.....I guess I just need some help getting started. Any advice would be greatly appreaciated. ;D Thanks all!!!

It can be daunting, Rick, that's for sure. This RPG is member driven. Everyone is free to post things about the story, their lives, etc. as they wish, as long as it fits into the classic BSG mythos, mixed in a bit with Richard Hatch's continuation storyline...
My best advice, start reading!! The main threads to check out right now are Amy's "Launch" thread which starts the entire time travel storyline we are doing right now, and the latest thread about the "Mission." That's the latest thread that Skyler, Logan and the rest are posting on right now.
We have two squadrons aboard the Callisto, Gold and Black, and you can choose which one you want to serve with.
After that, get a short bio about your character, how you came to be with us, etc. and then just jump in and start interacting with the other characters...
One more thing, just to understand the command structure aboard the ship, Commander Sheba is our leader (she is an NPC but can be posted for by any member within reason) with myself, Col. Charybdis, second in command of the battlestar.
Major Skyler is CO of Gold Squadron and Major JustinB is CO of Black...
Welcome aboard!!

If you have any questions about the story going on that reading alone doesn't answer drop me a line. I can be reached though the pm section on here, in the Rebel Legion as Brash Porkins or through email squad51 at inteliport dot com .... Monday through Friday I am quicker to answer the PM's from work and email when I get home since I can not get my ISP email at work....
One way to jump in when you get the hang of what is going on is as a transfer or newly assigned Warrior. When I started I posted about being in the Viper Simulators and training. Any questions just yell....

Best advice I can offer is to just jump in and do it! Your character wouldn't know what was going on either...
If you have current storyline questions, ask Skyler or Logan, since they're doing the majority of the writing at the moment. General questions, ask Al or me. We'll steer you in the right direction.

Thank you for the words of advice...now that I have developed a profile background, I believe I will just start under the mission storyline as a new pilot ass igned to Callisto and see how it goes and how others interact with me from there......Thanks again!!!
Maj. Skyler - didn't realize you were a member of my base on the Rebel Legion side....I am the Commander of Freedom Base. It is awsome to finally meet you!!!

Well, I think I am getting the hang of this now.....it is addictive. I find myself checking back several times a day to see if anything else has been added that I can tag onto!!!!!!!! Thanks to all those that helped getting me started....You made it really easy for me to work myself into the storyline.

You're doing great! Keep it up!
One thing that still helps me is PMing or emailing with people who are directly involved in the storyline I'm playing in. We tend to do a lot of brainstorming that way behind the scenes so we don't get lost.
And even now I have to go back and reread threads for information I've forgotten. Most importantly, if you're unsure about anything ASK! It's so much easier to doublecheck with someone before you make a post than to have to go in and edit later.

Is there any way we could PLEASE move to a Chapter 39? ? I have never liked the lettering system and although I do see some use for it, I think this whole time travel story should have been renumbered...

I agree and plan on starting a new chapter in my next post because the original mission has changed and we need one for the time travel mission.

Ideally, Amy's "Launch" post should carry the number Ch. 39. Amy is there a way you could perhaps rename your post and put the title about the Time Travel in there??? That way, the story can go back to that thread.
Brie, perhaps your new thread can also be changed to 39A to show that's part of the new storyline???
