I haven't added any of these extra people because I don't really want to have the crews of every other ship on KDB.  My original plan was to put a sparring room on each ship and then maybe have another one on the BFKC site that had everyone on it.  Setting it up this way means that each CO could review his crewman and make sure the stats were at least consistent.  
 
Right now, what stops Ness from setting his skill up to the max?  I don't know how much of a combat monster he is so how can I check it and why would I want to?  ta'pez might allow an ex-borg or robot crewman who gets the strength bonus... why do I want to verify that this guy has his settings right?
 
The point of putting a few other crewman on the KDB page was a temp thing so ta'pez and others could test it out.  I added all of the crew that ta'pez had in db.cgi.  I added a few of Satian's that I knew were into betleH combat (i.e. Tucker).   After the next betleH tourney (and maybe before) I will setup a betleH room for Satian's ship and I will come up with a way to link all of his crew to a more central one.  I will do the same for KDB.  But one cost of using the program is using my bio program.  That's how its configured.  Maybe I will setup a way to be listed on the BFKC site if you aren't on a ship that uses db.cgi.  But I have to work out a plan for it.
 
Sometime soon I will be redoing the KDB crew list.  At that point, I suspect only the active KDB players and the CH crew will have access to the Sparring thing until I decide how to deal with the 'extras'.
 
 
 
Also, I am probably going to change how glory works.  Right now, you get extra glory for challenging someone whose skill is much higher.  ness has taken that to an extreme.  (Everyone has noticed the new stat page, right?)  Most of the time people should be sparring and Glory is reduced.  The disarm fight would be a more serious fight and should have a greater chance of gettting you injured.  I have to figure out how to deal with that.  Glory is reduced for all fights but Disarm fights.  
 
So either I am going to reduce glory for fights where you lose, or I am going to report damage in Disarm fights and maybe restrict how much damage you take each day or week.  In character, the only person who is fighting full out, with the danger of real injury is roS.  So he ought to have the most glory.
 
I am happy to see that the dishonor column on the stats page is almost empty.  K'Hare and Suran have some but that's because I did four matches, at different honor settings to hint at the effects of GH and VD.  Outside of that, no one else but the truely dishonorable have gained any dishonor.
 
 
So, any comments on how I should deal with the sparring rooms?  The code requires you be on a db.cgi page somewhere.  I could make one giant central one for every PC and NPC in BFKC.  And then figure out how to deal with the automation of it.  But then what keeps ej from claiming high skill when I think he should be below roS?   Do I make this something that only works on KDB and CH and then there is some interaction between some from CH and KDB because I link it up when the CH visits?  Does everyone understand the problem?

You are being cryptic -and she already spend a considerable amount of time on KDB - PM me if you want to elaborate on this.

How long is your list K'Hare?

the list of stickler rules - honestly if you want people to follow it - letting them know what they are  would be a good this - you know - the folder with Simm FAQ would be an ideal place to post them in

Sir Elton John wanted to visit?

If the race was know to have telepaths they'd know that.  If they are a member of Starfleet its part of their service record unless they hide it.  The meH'Haj bio reads as if its no big surprise that she is a telepath.

Everyone who comes on the base is checked.  You walk on, you have some sort of ID.  You are scanned for weapons.  Your biology is not scanned.  But your identity is known.  If you don't have an identity, you are looked at closer.  Somehow, people have identification.  What is canon is that those in starfleet on the KDF hand over a PADD with there info.
 
So coronel nerys comes to KDB.  She hands over an ID that says she is a vulcan diplomat.  Security would balk at that.  Or if she claimed to be human.  They'd look at her nose and say.. I don't think so.  If someone came to the base and identified themselves as a betazed, security would take an interest.  Note that this wasn't true in K'rahl's reign (as far as I know).  It certainly wasn't as overt.
 
The K'Hears incident just made it worse.  There is still security on the base preventing transport unless the base is in control.  People are looked at a little more closely.  A security officer will scan you if he thinks you need it but his medical scan isn't going to get transferred to the database unless there is a reason.  This is how ta'pez and K'Hare stayed hidden for so long.
 
crystal came to the base with a federation service record and her business was to await transfer to the meH'Haj.  I would have had fun locking her up in security if I had the time to deal with her when she came to KDB.  So this time, she got lucky and security either watched her covertly and she slipped in because one guard wasn't paying attention.  But consider.  You enter the base.  Your 'passport' is scanned and logged.  The main computer is setup to flag problems.  YES! We profile!.  The computer should have blipped and said this is a telepath, perform the telepath protocols.
 
Think of it this way.  You are entering the US and there is a terrorist flag on anyone of your ethic background flying in from Saudi Arabia.  Would the computers catch that?  Would the security officer at the boarder need to know about it?  No, the computer would flag you and tell him what to do.
 
No, this isn't posted anywhere.... well it is now, in here.  But this is why I told EJ I didn't have time to deal with him when he showed up.  Normally I would have checked the bio and caught this and surprised him with anal probes and other security measures.  I would have pointed him to the more overt info (the stuff in the KDB database).  If Drake had pinged me before posting I would have said, no, I am too busy, probably.  But if I had the time I would have pointed her(?) to the KDB info.  And hopefully that would have meant the bull riding thing would never have happened.  And yes, the bull riding thing did not happen on KDB.  fed entertainment is not on KDB.  Klingons have their own stuff.  The sparring room, the tables with the knives for arm wrestling, etc.   And no tribbles either.
