"Flexibility, creativity, and diplomacy. We sim because it's fun, and therefore a sim should be fun for everyone involved -- so it's up to the CO to maintain that atmosphere. That means keeping everyone involved, and being flexible and creative when writing sims. Diplomacy is just as important: the entire crew should feel comfortable approaching the CO, and the CO should be trusted to be fair and impartial when resolving conflicts." -- Rear Admiral John M. Styre, USS Lothlorien
