not to mention it's summer, people are on holiday and kids are home
I knew that much, having talked to Marc recently and all, and that's fine,
but it still doesn't clear up the need for timeline or canon clarifications,
since nobody argued the timeline and Avvy isn't Canon Trek. I think I'm
still missing something.. The whole "let's all get posting again" thing lost
me, too, since I've been posting as often as possible and am currently
working on another log. Writing as fast as my computer will let me, lol.
What else am I missing?

A log is in progress with Skyler and Keith as well as Kaera, we are waiting
for Lt. Vila to add to it. Once it is sent out we can start giving the go
ahead to get people on the ship and get started on a new mission. Part of
which is to go back to the Avalon B and gather what remains of our personal
effects. I don't know if this clears things up or confuses you more. If so
let me know and I will try and explain it better, if possible.

Don't mind me, folks, I'm just a little lost. We all know I'm the slow one
here so bear with me. I'm trying to figure out the point of this whole
email. Since it's typically understood that Avvy isn't "Canon" I'm not sure
where canon trek timelines apply. It is what Marc says it is, plain and
simple. We've been writing and posting and all that's kept us from leaving
drydock is the go-ahead to board the ship. So the point of this was? If it
was to "hurry up and do something, folks" that would come from our command
staff, so I doubt that was it. What am I missing?

After a lengthy discussion with our fearless leader about the merits of
establishing a timeline, we have come to an agreement. One past log by Kaera
Ashayu (I believe it was her) stated that it had been seven years since the
Dominion War ended, and it is established Trek canon that the war ended in
the year 2375. The last Stardate used on DS9 was 52645.7 (or August 24th),
and it was common practice for the writers to move things along by weeks or
months on Star Trek. A rough guesstimate would put the cease-fire in the
month of November, possibly December. Had seven years passed it would now be
2382.
However, the agreed upon date, approved by the aforementioned fearless
leader, has the Avalon at Izar in July---more specifically, July 7th (it
will be July 7, 2382 until the sim gets moving again or Marc says
otherwise). So it hasn't been quite seven years yet, but it will be soon. He
has also agreed that the crew arrived at Izar late in the evening on July
2nd. This gives all of us a firm point of reference for getting back into
the swing of writing. Four days' shore leave, familiarizing yourself with
the new Avalon, whatever strikes your fancy. Some of us still have to get
there with new characters!
As for specifically when the war ended, a fellow fan fiction writer (and
friend of mine) wrote a tale in which the cease-fire took place just before
midnight on December 24th, Earth Standard Time. My point here is that I
believe we should all, as a group, come to our own consensus for the sake of
Avalon's timeline as to when the war actually ended. I encourage each of you
to send me a reply on this matter.
Otherwise, lets all of us get posting again so the Avalon-C can finally get
out of her drydock!

It's not radically different. Just radically better.
