Great minds think...
Part of the reason I include "hopefully", in my last post is that I also had to write up things like this. That, and it's ANZAC day, but whatever.
As for laying out who's room is who's, I've been tinkering with some schematics I have and I'll discuss it later. For now, Dale will have been sleeping in the passenger dorms, and crew will have been sleeping in the crew dorms. Exacts can be worked out later.
And for future reference, could you link pics like that rather then post them, as it breaks the borders of the thread (Also, could you go remove that image?).

Ah, Elpagan, I missed your post earlier.
I'm glad to see exactly where things are on Serenity. I had a rough idea but that diagram helps.
Lots of work involved in setting up an RP, eh Defiant? I'm looking forward to learning more about our RP ship.
Thanks again for the Avatar upgrade. It looks maaahvelous.

I'm on chat by the way, and it wasn't me who did your avatar...

Oh, that was LincolnZ!
Sorry about that Lincoln. In that case, thank YOU very much for the new avatar. I do appreciate it.
I gotta learn to pay better attention. 
Wups, looks like I just missed you in chat, Defiant. Don't have time to try again now, but you're probably snoozing about this time anyhow.

Right, well, since I'm not starting onboard, I don't really have to worry about much yet, although I was just wondering if there was a definitive point where I join the crew, as I might edit my CS a bit around it?
Perhaps I could be a specialist brought on for a specific job, and because the cap finds me fairly helpful, asks if I wouldn't mind hangin' round for a while?
Or I stowe away on board to escape Alliance. Etc. Etc.
Oh, and cap (i'm just gonna call u captain from now on, sound good?) any chance of a brief overview of where we are in the timeline? I'd like to know what part of the war we're up to, whether the alliance is fully formed/operational yet, or are they still just lobbying and advertising themselves to get voted in or whatever?

The period in which the RP is set has been stated. January 2509 is the current date. Read the first post again, he's updated it even more, recently.
The Alliance was formed LONG before the war started. Most likely sometime around the early 25th century at the very least, making it older than one hundred years. However not much is known for certain about the time line so we can only speculate from what is known from comics, series, movie and other canon and semi-canonical information.
We really should work on a time line for the use of this RP. I'll work on it if it's ok with the Captain. Stay tuned for a thread on this matter within the next hours or days... depending on life stuff.
*UPDATE* I've got the go ahead and I'm assembling information. I'll hopefully have a new thread up tonight. I will post here when I do.

I had seen the date previously, but I hadn't realised the first post had been updated! My apologies!
How much of this information is taken from the Visual Companions and the Serenity RPG and such? As I have none of these (being in Australia, they're incredibly hard to find near me...) and so I'm not well-versed in the timeline of the war and such.
Can anyone let me know what it's worth buying to understand all this history? I'm probably going to order the Visual Companions from Amazon within the next few days, but aside from that, is it worth me getting the RPG and such?

The RPG, no probably not. But the visual companions are awesome for any fan.
Any need to know information as far as the time line will be included in the upcoming Defiant Time line.

Cheers Lincoln, you're so very helpful!

I should be. I've been around here for half a decade almost and I own a number of canon reference sources.
I've also written fanfics, been involved in RPs and otherwise researched the 'verse to heck and back. HAH!
