					week on average at Lieutenant for 2 complete missions. Also

 * Posting, in regards to promotions, refers to at least on 
					mission-related post per week (if a mission is active) and 
					any other in-character posts, excluding Personal Log. 
					Promotion at the minimum is not to be expected and is at the 
					sole discression of the Commanding Officer. You may request 
					NOT to be promoted as you are in charge of your own 
					character development.
 
 
 Posting Requirements:
 Here are the basics:
 1) All Players must post at least one mission related post 
					every two weeks. This post may be in a joint-post or a 
					solitary mission post, and must be of substantial length. 
					Four weeks of unexcused inactivity, including but not 
					limited to failure to log into the forums and/or failing to 
					respond to emails, will necessitate the removal of the 
					player from the SIM.
 2) You must not, under any circumstances, use another 
					players character without their knowledge or consent. This 
					includes speaking for them and describing their actions.
 3) Be courteous.
 4) Keep topics such as extreme (graphic) violence, drugs 
					references, profanities or sexual content to a minimum and 
					in accordance with this fleet's regulations. If you wouldn't 
					see it on Prime-Time television, don't write about it here.
 5) Adhere to the Ten Rules for Successful Simming
