BEWARE THE ARCHONS!

The Phantom encountered one at the edge of the Stygian Traverse, but we'll see more before we put Fiddler's Green behind us. Get ready for another close encounter.

» Memory Theta Birthday Extravaganza!

Posted on Mon Oct 3rd, 2022 @ 3:04pm by Captain Mrazak in General News

"Red Rover, Red Rover, on 31st of October
The Thetanomicon was written and wrought
What better reason than Halloween season
That Memory Theta never be forgot?"

Five years ago in October of 2017, I stumbled through dark conjurings and profane utterances to install Nova into the database that would become Memory Theta. In commemoration of half a decade of awesome roleplay, I am pleased to initiate a special interlude that will send the Memory Theta team to Risa for a much-needed vacation. Of course, nothing ever seems to go according to plan, but that's always been half the fun. Thank you, one and all, for joining me on this journey of discovery and exploration into a side of Star Trek that had yet to be explored at the time of our beginning. I daresay that our not-so-humble sim has made an indelible mark on the simming community and perhaps sent waves clear up to the writing rooms of modern Trek production (I'm looking at you, Lower Decks!).

Kick back, run wild on Risa, and pat yourselves on the back for five years of greatness. Here's to five more!

» WarGames/Tournament of Sims 2021

Posted on Tue May 10th, 2022 @ 1:57pm by Captain Mrazak in General News

For the fourth year in a row, Memory Theta is recognized by the Tournament of Sims hosted by Ongoing Worlds (called WarGames this year as an anniversary for something or other). Only 25 out of 70 entrants scored high enough among the judges to be awarded and Memory Theta was among them. We got some interesting feedback which I wanted to pass along:

This sim does a great job with: Neat twist on posting, each post is 1
mission day. For a smaller sim, that's a good way to keep readers from
missing things.
One thing they could work on is: A lot of the posts seemed to be more
character driven than plot driven. Nothing wrong AT ALL with character
development, but keeping a balance of the two is helpful for readers.

This sim does a great job with setting the scenes and interactions between characters. I especially enjoy how well written the characters are. One thing they could work on nothing I can really find, only criticism I have is some of the posts are very very long which may cause people to lose interest or skip through.

This sim does a great job with general writing.
One thing they could work on is making things clearer, more detail.


Congratulations to you all and well done! The internet still things we're based. For more details and to check out other winners, follow the link below.

» The Simming Prize

Posted on Wed Feb 16th, 2022 @ 4:45pm by Captain Mrazak in General News

"One of the best role plays on the net today, Memory Theta excels in all aspects of simming. From deep character development to intricate plot devices to taking the unexpected turn, this crew always keeps things interesting. Their commitment to excellence has been recognized many times over, most recently by taking home top prize at the Tournament of Simulations."

The Simming Prize 2020

Truth be told, I had never heard of this particular award before, but it appears we were nominated multiple times last year since the explanation given includes our top place in last year's Tournament of Sims. I have no idea who nominated because I had no idea we were nominated. Congratulations on becoming internet famous!
