Futility's End Rules

From FEInfobase

Futility's End is set in 2409 following an apocalyptic war with the Borg.

"The goal of Futility's End is to provide a mature writing environment that takes what is best about Trek, acknowledges the success of harsher, grittier television shows such as The Shield and Battlestar Galactica and combines the two to create a radical new spin on the canon whilst retaining the quality of the shows. We further aim to add to parts of Trek's galaxy that were never properly explored on screen".

In addition to providing a simming environment for our players, Futility's End allows for writing of fiction as part of Futility's End canon and to keep the Futility's End story moving.

Futility's End Community

• Located at http://forum.futilitysend.org/

FEC is the central hub of activity for Futility's End. This is where members come if they have any questions regarding Futility's End, this is also where the fiction series and our forum based simms are hosted.

Futility's End InfoBase

The Futility's End InfoBase (http://www.feinfobase.org) is a repository for Futility's End universe information. It should not be used by member simulations which exist outside of FE's universe.

Member Simulations

From time to time Futility's End may accept simulations to join us as member sims. These games exist outside of the Futility's End universe, yet still possess the spark that makes a good FE simulation.

Member simulations may be added or removed at the discretion of the Futility's End Quad.

General Rules

1. The Plot: Futility's End operates an organisation-wide plot. Whatever happens on one sim happens on another. This means that all sims occur in the same universe. Players must not begin new plots that disturb, or destroy this FE-wide plot without permission from a member of the FE Quad or from the FECO.
2. Canon Fiction: Not everything written and posted in the Fiction area of Futility's End Community is considered Futility's End Canon unless deemed so by the Futility's End Quad/Futility's End Commanding Officer. Proper markings will show if the fiction written is considered as part of canon or not. See http://www.feinfobase.org/index.php?title=FECanon
3. Ratings: Although Futility's End allows R rated simulations, it does not allow overly sexual content on its sims. The R rating merely denotes plots that only Adults would be emotionally equipped to deal with. Players found abusing these ratings will be dealt with by the Futility's End Quad.
   Simulations with Futility's End are allowed to carry the following ratings, following consultation with the Futility's End Commanding Officer or should he be unavailable the Futility's End Quad.
   1. U Suitable for all players(13+)
   2. M Intended for mature players(16+)
   3. R Plots of an adult nature (18+)
