THE USS VALKYRIE'S DISCORD CHANNELS




SENIOR STAFF CHANNELS: These are for Sr Staff to plan and maintain the USS Valkyrie and her crew in good working condition. Not visible to the crew. One requirement to be on Senior Staff is to engage with the group in the channels (and come to our meetups, if possible).

GROUP INFO READ ONLY
welcome-aboard: Must read on joining.
our-vrc—worlds: Photos/videos of Group Worlds.
rules-and-regulations: Must read.
new-members: Welcome bot.
crew-bios: Submit a bio so we get to know you.
crew-roster: All members including VRC names, species, personal emoji.

CREW CHAT LOGS AND PHOTOS
command-notifications: Important messages usually from Captain and Ambassador. Read-only.
intraship-RP-only: Role-play that pertains to entire crew.
intraship-group-chat: This is a catch-all channel for ship’s business, used mostly by Ambassador for daily Trek and group info that is not RP. Use for anything pertaining to the entire crew. Otherwise please post in your department.
crew-photos: Post your favorites here.
personal-logs: For your personal thoughts. Private, no comments.
stardate calculator: If you wish to add a date to your personal log.

STAR TREK
star-trek-geek-stuff: Star Trek news and interesting articles.
star-trek-memes: Star Trek memes and funny short videos. Keep it PG and professional. Memes that are merely puns pasted over photos of the actors/characters are not Star Trek memes.
daily-trek-trivia: Run by Cmdr AthenaDax.
episodes-and-spoilers: Discuss any episodes, but be sure to hide spoilers with two vertical lines before and after the text to be hidden.
at-the-cons: Convention photos and stories. Do not have to be your own.
other-trek-in-vr-chat: Info, photos, discussion of other Star Trek groups in VRC.

THE NEXUS NEWS
valkyrie-report: Ship’s news, gossip, recipes and more. Anyone can be a reporter for this shipwide magazine, in the style of “A Briefing With Neelix.” Check with Ambassador Wookie.
lens-flare-photojournal: If you go on a mission and would like to submit a photojournalist piece (meaning photos with a descriptive report), this is the place to post it. No permission required.
ask-val-advice: Have a snoring problem with your Bolian roommate? Not sure what to serve at a Vulcan dinner party? This is the place to ask.

EVENTS AND MISSIONS
valkyrie events: Any upcoming events, including Trekkin Tuesday (or videos, if we ever figure out a video player), will be posted here.
trek-live-discussion: A monthly discussion group, where we pick a Trek topic, an episode, an ethical dilemma, or a scientific theory to discuss. Any suggestions?
away-missions: Do you have a favorite VRC world that would make a great away mission for the group? Let us know. We often do this the second half of our Tuesday get together.
diplomatic-missions: If you have interacted with any alien species in a diplomatic fashion, we would love to hear about it in this channel.
shore-leave: Relaxing and entertaining worlds in VRchat to share with the crew.

DEPARTMENT NOTIFICATIONS
This is where the chief and/or assistant chief of every department posts important notifications. It is a read-only channel even for other Sr. Staff.

DEPARTMENT RP CHAT CHANNELS
These are the channels for you to role-play as a member of your chosen department. It’s role-play only please. Have fun with it. Participation is rewarded with promotion.

VRCHAT GENERAL
This is for anything that has to do with the VR chat platform and is not specifically related to our group or Star Trek.

REAL LIFE (WHAT’S THAT?)
show-us-your-rl: We love to see pictures of you, your pets, your gardens, hobbies, anything you’d like to share with us.
interesting-real-life-news: Just that. We are a progressive, left-leaning, inclusive group. No divisive politics. No conspiracy theories.
real-life-science: Science News. NO pseudoscience or YouTube conspiracy theories.
holodecks: Use these 3 channels for anything you wish to share that either does not fall into one of the other categories, or if you wish to have a lengthy discussion with somebody. We do not want to clog up the other channels with lots of conversation, not pertaining to role-play or other ship’s business.

ALTSPACE MEMORIES
The USS Valkyrie spent two years in AltspaceVR before it was shut down. We like to look back at some of our fond memories.

SAVED CHANNELS
These channels are not currently in use, but they can be resurrected at any time

VOICE CHANNELS: We don’t use these frequently, but Cmdr Haunter shows the latest Star Trek episodes here. Please check in the event channel for dates.

THREADS: These are used when a discussion goes off the topic of the channel, so that it doesn’t clog the channel with a lot of comments, especially if they have nothing to do with the channel in which the thread began.
