Two suggestions - do with as you will:
1 - Although it might detract SLIGHTLY from the feel of things, I suggest using the profile names for everybody, rather than addressing people by rank - it will make things much easier, since we can't "see" who each other is speaking to.
2 - use one thread or the other separately for comments and questions outside the game universe. I believe that will keep the game thread more intact and MUCH easier to read for folks logging in and getting up to speed.
On a personal note, I'm playing an Andorian - a species which, considering their place in Federation history, about which we know relatively little. Games like this are far more rewarding when characters are played faithfully, so please - nobody take offense by something I say or do in the interests of acting in character. If I want to offend anyone, I will do it directly and in the outside-universe thread.
