The Tomar Chronicle-Herald
Volume I, Number 5 - April 25, 2003
Welcome back to the latest issue of the Chronicle-Herald. Thanks for your continued support of the SIMM.
Welcome everyone to the newest issue of the Tomar Chronicle-Herald. Its been about 6 months since the last issue. Sorry about that.
I have been keeping track of the points for everyone, and they'll be reported later on in the issue.
Since October, we have been slowly going down each month on the number of posts we are writing each month, so we're going to be making some modifications to the rules asap, which will include changes on the min number of posts required each month, and an update to the consequences as well.
We also have a new location for our website, which is now at: http://usstomar.webtrekkie.com/
Also, the TF now has a new website as well, which is utilizing new TF Management software created by our fellows in BravoFleet. The new TF44 website can be accessed at: http://www.bravofleet.info/tf44/template.php?pageref=index
So, sit back, relax and enjoy, and thanks for staying.
-C.J. aka Rear Admiral Shephard

LOA Policy:
Don't be afraid to ask for an LOA if you really need one, or if you know you're going to be going away. I'm not going to bite your head off, in fact, most of the time, I'm going to ok it (9 out of 10). It saves me the headaches of wondering where you are, and also helps so that you don't lose points, or get removed during surprise AUDITS.
You need to get in contact with me if you can't post as soon as you are able to post again, or even better, before, use somebody elses email if need be, put please, get in touch with me or one of the other AGMs and let us know. If I don't hear from you, I'm going to consider you MIA, and you'll be removed from the SIMM after so many cycles. If you want to leave the simm, please drop me a note and let me know, otherwise, if I remove players from the SIMM, I have to notify BFJAG, which can cause repercussions on you if you run other characters in BF. Please, be considerate, Thanks.
Federation Times:
Please keep reading the Federation Times (http://www.bravofleet.com/bravofleet/fleet_news.htm) to keep up on what else is going on in BF and Starfleet. Stories here may have some impact on what happens in our SIMM.
Bravo Fleet News:
March 23, 2003 - Bravo Fleet supports all troops now in combat in Iraq. Whether you support the war or the reasons behind it, or you do not, please prey for and think about the men and women engaged in combat, and that they will return home safely. As well as the innocent civilians. With members in each of this countries, BF hopes for a short successful war.
May 28, 2002 - from Fleet Admiral Mike Bremer, CO of Bravo Fleet: I want to thank everyone that's taking the time to vote for BF, pushing us to the top of many lists and getting BF many new members. In the last 24 hours we have received no less then 22 apps, that's up 110% from an average day. BF's record is 47 apps in a day, I'd love to break that! So, I'm asking you all to keep voting. Even if you just have a few minutes, vote for at least the top lists marked 'Priority One' TSLs. http://www.bravofleet.com/bravofleet/voteforbf.htm
And, by the way, Bravo Fleet's been named in "Who's Who on the Web" 5th anniversery edition. The BFHQ joins sites like CrouchingTiger.com, CocaCola.com, DreamWorks.com, u2.com!! I think that's just awsome! From what they told me when the email notification that came in, BF's the ONLY Star Trek RPG listed! :)
Keep up the great work and showing your pride in Bravo Fleet!!
