Subject: United Team Federation: Space, The Forum Frontier

Message:
Stardate 58693.8
Welcome ALL to the OFFICIAL TEAM FEDERATION thread. soarehelle has asked us to start this, the newest thread for her great idea. It is with her BLESSING and APPROVAL that we sally forth in warp drive. Don't worry though, we won't be originating every thread. The idea is that team captains (who want to) can take it in turns to kick off the new threads. Keep it to the 'Star Trek' theme though. This forum is for TEAM CAPTAINS, CO-CAPTAINS, COACHES and the like. We are, however, NOT an elitist la-di-da Country Club Forum..no passwords needed here and no one is excluded. If you have something to say regarding your team, or about 'Star Trek', and even if you aren't one of the above-mentioned, please say it here. We're all ears...just like Spock.
Here are the participants from the last forum:

The Rookettes
Sassy Sister's Secret Society of Cloak and Dagger
The Pawn Stars ( Klingons)
Southern Chess ( Bubba Borg)
The Club© (The Q)
Hungarian Wanderers ( Mother Earth)
The Arsam Empire ( Mother Earth #2)
Chessdudes ( Vulcans)
Al Chesseera ( Romulans)
Nightfever
Only On a Sunday
The Flying Zebras ( Planet Antwerp)

Hope I didn't leave anyone out there. Let's have the rest of you fronting up real soon. :-)

Captains Out

Hey CC,

I am sad that you can't get to the other forum that you and I discussed and made happen over the phone, i so wanted to make you happy and give you a place to chat with captains because you seemed so upset when we talked about it. I wanted the froum on my website to be your baby also , damn webtv sucks man! I should have a talk with Mom and ask her to buy you a pc ;) So the only alternative now is that i will go back n forth between forums of course just to hang with you and when i see a captains topic i will jump on in despite the critiques i have so cleverly started up lol (you know me i have to get them goin but mostly for my own amusement hehe)

Oh and i will be around in a year, thanks for caring !

I F___ING HATE WEBTV!! I F___ING HATE IT!! It does more than suck, it is the world's biggest @(&$)!

And absolutely, I "blessed" this thread; actually, I'm so thankful it made it past the first one. Really though, once this takes off no one gonna think of me or anyone else because it will be so much more impotant that any one captin here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE ROOKETTES ARE THE ANDORIANS! (Again, I just love that you can have blue and white Andorians!)

<;br><!---|abreak|--->Yes, Xena hit it right on the mark with every new thread should be started by a different captain, I suggest when we all see the thread reply hitting 45 or so just speaking up and saying, "Hey I wanna start it next." The goal is everyone starting a thread.

Now about captains stuff: what do you all think of these two ideas, a campaign to add to each team page, who's open, how many days per move they want? We're not going to get it at first, but we can try at least, until we're told "no, not possible." (By the way, on the topic of asking for stuff from Mike, I STILL hold out hope out to talking Mike into something here at GameKnot for captains,)

And before I forget, from the other thread, I really liked the idea of teams being different Star Trek shows, like Deep Space 9 and all that. We need Bajorians, Carrdaseans, (both misspelled I know) and what was Otto again? Also Voyager had some interesting groups.

greyrabbit, do you know I'm still laughing over the tribble joke! I almost said that we would take and be the tribbles, then I came to my senses!

One last thing, I was hoping some of you might think about asking other captains if they want to join this little Federation of ours. Aside from me being shy (Samantha STOP laughing at me, it's true, HEY!) there's only so many people I can ask. Think on it and let's talk.

Captain out.

it doesn't take much to turn you on

Message:
does it xena?

I would love to be able to look at my team and see who is open and how many games I can allocate them instead of preparing a fake challenge that never goes through just so I can see who is available. it would also be nice if I could look at the other team and see who they have available so I can see at a glance (well two glances actually) whether my challenge would be accepted.

I really like the comment facility when issuing a team challenge. wouldn't it be great if the receiving captain could reply... even if it was only in the case of a decline?

ahh Samantha you seem like such a lovely person.

Cloaking

Message:
I've asked gameknot to rule on whether "cloaking" of peices infringes GK rules.

I hacked into the games engine and can now cloak any piece i choose...... i find cloaking a pawn the best of all.... sneak it up and get it queened before un-cloaking, reckon i could even beat Apastpawn with this (and that's about the only way I could btw)

Cloaking, The Force, and Klingons vs.The Tribbles

Message:
LOL! I can really get behind the idea of cloaking pieces. Now the only thing we Andorians need to do is "obtain" a cloaking device, and life will be good. I can't see the Romulans giving over the cloaking device, hummmm, could there be a battle?
Yes, sure we can have some of Star Wars in here; and here it is guys, my Mike bashing is back, (I told you it would come back) I see him more like Darth Vader than force. (I think we just found out where the problems I'm having around here come from.) And now onto Klingons & Tribbles! Tell me more about this team tournament thing, I'm still fuzzy as hell about it. Maybe we can get greyrabbit's Ferangies (why is my spelling so BAD!?) to put up the money? greyrabbit, what's that you say, Ferangies will NEVER part with money!?! hummmm, does this mean another battle?

The Trouble With...Tribbles?

Message:
You sure can. I agree with you about the messages soarrehelle. It saves a lot of time and a heap of clogginess in the inbox.
Dear me ladyinred527, I thought it was tribbles causing trouble but it's actually been teens all the time. They sure seem to have a singular sense of humour for "teens" of that age. I would have picked them for a lot younger. Just as well they are making the moves for you ( if I'm not mistaken, that's what you've just said isn't it?) or you'd never have time to read any of the forums.

Right..now back to the thread at hand. If anyone is interested in starting the next thread *ahem * anyone? anyone? .. please post your intention here. At the conclusion of this forum, which seems to be zooming up at warp speed, The Pawn Stars ( AKA The Imperial Klingon Battle Fleet) have been called away on a Special Secret Mission thing to the distant Alpha 5.4 galaxy to look for some...er...stuff and we won't be returning for a few light years. To those who come here after, remember us who have gone before you and suffered muchly for it. You are standing on the shoulders of giants. It's just a pity that there's other big stuff in the way and you can't like see much. So with that cryptic and profound message ringing in your ears, we bid you adieu.
