To all the fellow HF simmers:

In a collaborative effort from the Horizon Fleet DPA department – we’ve finally made some progress and have a couple of things to share with you.

The first noteworthy, and most time sensitive, item we have to announce is the Halloween themed IRC chat that will be held in Horizon Fleet on Sunday evening. Come ‘dressed’ as anything you’d like – stay in character if you so choose; it would be especially entertaining to see who can stay in their Halloween character and manage to interject relevant lines from their said character (be it book or movie or video game*) into the general conversation. Especially for those of you who don’t often or have never before visited us in IRC – we’re looking forward to having you stop by! This will be the first of many theme nights to come, though they may not all be hosted in Horizon Fleet main chat, and any and all participation that will help us to make theme nights a success is greatly appreciated. J

The next item up is forum related. Stop by the HF forum and visit the new HF Pet threads! We have both OOC and IC pet threads in the HF forum under General Chat. Feel free to post a picture or tell us a favorite story of your personal pet – or visit the other side of the pet threads and tell us about any pets your character may have. Pictures and any pet related posts you’ve done are welcome!

For those who don’t often visit (or have never perused) the HF forum, you can find a wealth of information on just about everything Star Trek! Many players of many ranks have contributed to make the Horizon Fleet forum a full, fun, and informative place to browse. The pet area is just the newest topic in the good feeling fun that the General Chat area has to offer. While you’re there, you may want to stop by the Word Association or Person Above games. See real pictures of our writers who’ve chosen to share them, read about how other players have come to join Horizon Fleet, or what they listen to while they’re writing. (The forum also offers a great way to connect with other players if you’re a person who doesn’t really get in to IRC chat.)

Please be looking for the next news installment for information on upcoming community events. We’d like to plan a scavenger hunt, another theme night, and possibly even a department night** in the near future. Until next time, fellow simmers!
