Posted by Seamus Hughes. Edict #21 Let’s see if I can get through this edict without having to amend it in Edict 22. ;-)
First off, Dustin Bukowski is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain and given the command of the USS Draco, 6th Fleet. Congratulations. Dustin is taking over for Alan Felts, a long time member who resigned last week. Alan was a great friend and I will miss him. Come back soon,
Alan. The GMT Regulations, as posted previously in Command, are hereby made official by this edict. All GM Monitors and GM Trainees must follow the regulations set forth during the course of the training program.
Let it also by hereby known that Adam St. Clair, CO of the USS Dresden, is also allowed to serve as GM of his ship.
Just for reference, the GMT Regs are:
1) All interested GMT candidates must email the GMT Coordinator stating their interest, and must provide a recommendation from a member of the Command staff (CO, XO, or GM) of one of their existing ships. GMT’s will be selected from the pool of qualified candidates by the GMT Coordinator and assigned a ship with the permission of that ship’s CO. GMT’s are assigned based on the current vailability of GM positions; application to the program does not necessarily guarantee enrollment.
2) All GMT’s are assigned a GM Monitor to document their progress on their ships. GM Monitors are required to submit periodic reports to the GMT Coordinator detailing the GMT’s sim progress, as well as report problems, difficulties, et cetera. GM Monitors will also be expected to report to the GMDir/AGMDir regarding the progress of the GMT. GMT’s must also provide the monitor with a summary of their sim for approval prior to its commencement. Should a GMT depart a ship for any reason, be it termination, AWOL, extended leave of absence, et cetera, the GM Monitor will be required to serve as interim GM until another GMT can be assigned.
3) GMT’s will be allowed MOTD access for the purpose of updating a sim-update section on the MOTD. This is based upon the CO’s prerogative, and is not necessarily a perquisite of the position. Unauthorized tampering with a ship’s MOTD, roster, or character database will result in immediate dismissal from the program.
4) GMT’s will be evaluated at the end of a 60-day period. The sim’s continuance at this point will depend upon the result of this evaluation; should the GMT not pass the evaluation, the GM Monitor will be responsible for its swift completion so that a new sim can begin. If the GMT passes the evaluation, he may be promoted to full GM status and continue with the normal progress of the sim.
5) The GMT evaluation will be based upon the recommendations of the CO, XO, and GM Monitor, as well as the GMT coordinator’s own research into the sim. The GMT coordinator will deliver the final decision to the GMT within two weeks of the completion of the GMT’s sim.
