<USS Avalon> Re: OOC

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?

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!
