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?
CamtheTreknut@xxxxxxx wrote: 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!
