ASR Honors List- October 2007 Round Table

OCTOBER 2007 ASR ROUND TABLE AWARDS
=================================

From the desk of the CINCSF:
 

FLAG LEVEL AWARDS
=======================
First of all, I know we don't normally recognize our Flag 
level players but this time I'm making the executive decision 
and running with it.  Since I'm CINCSF you'll all just have to suffer....;)

THE DRIVING FORCE AWARD
Mary McNeely (CINCSILVER)- While the majority of the Flag 
Council has been plagued by real life problems,  Mary has 
been doggedly sticking it out and is driving her fleet forward.
She has lead by example, becoming an almost unstoppable posting 
machine.  Her drive and love of ASR is an example to us all, 
while her posting rate is virtually unmatched.  My personal 
thanks to Mary for her continued commitment to our group.
 
THE PITCHING IN TO HELP AWARD
Scott Lusby (CINCGOLD), Reginald McKamie (CoS/CSFO)- When 
Sean Murphy requested a medical leave there was a big gap 
left in his wake, specifically in assigning new players to 
the units.  Scott and Reginald stepped forward and jumped 
right in to help assign people as they came in, even though 
both Scott and Reginald had real life problem of their own.  
Through their efforts, new players have been steadily coming 
and efficiently being sent to the units.
 
MAN, I WISH I COULD DO THAT AWARD
Ed Bell (SFEXO)- You know all those really wonderful graphic 
pictures of our ships that we all enjoy, we can thank Ed for 
several of them.  New ship designs have been rolling out from 
Starfleet Engineering and Ed has been building fully rendered 
graphics for them.  His hard work has done more than just given 
us beautiful ships, it's become a source of advertisement as other 
organizations have recognized his work as well.  His talent in 
graphic design is a marvel, one that I'm thankful we have access too.
 

OUTSTANDING COMMAND PLAYERS
===========================

Susanne Dubrov (OPS, USS EXCALIBUR)
Susanne has been an energizing force on EXCALIBUR. Her writing 
has engaged her fellow writers and given new vision to the unit.
 
Tim Cooke (CO, USS VALHALLA, XO USS NEBULA)
Tim Cooke has been an excellent command player, always taking 
the time to provide necessary support to players, no matter what 
his other responsibilities.  As XO to a unit he was previously 
CO for, he has provided quiet support without continuing to 
dominate the command team.  His ability to keep a plot moving 
and a crew posting together is to be commended.
 
Jeff Uribe (Fmr OPS USS NEBULA)
Jeff, playing the inmerable Jones', did much to put truth that 
one must work to keep up with them.  Playing Dionne Jones, Jeff 
ensured that the USS NEBULA kept moving along the plots and 
nudging the rest of the players to keep up with the fast moving 
pace set by his engaging posts.  While on sabbatical, his ability 
to find ways to contribute will be missed.
 
Mary McNeely (CO, USS AMBERJACK) 
Mary McNeely leads the fleet in developing joint posts, and holds 
a key role in keeping the community of Green Fleet alive with her 
willingness to work together with other units to foster greater 
interaction.  Her skill at progressing the storylines and getting 
posts from her shipmates makes her an outstanding command player.

 
Jenna Povey (CO, ORESTES)
Ms. Povey has taken command of a new and fledgling unit and made it 
one of GOLD's most active units despite having to endure a change 
at the XO slot.  This in and of itself is quite an accomplishment; 
however, given the fact that she did this with a crew made entirely 
of players new to ASR, the achievement is all the more special.

Mark Mosher (CO, TFS)
Mr. Mosher was handed a most difficult job- command of a unique unit 
made up of veterans, all with commands of their own, that had all lost 
most of its momentum.  He has handled this with agility and aplomb, 
jumping in with both feet and guiding the unit's momentum in a positive 
manner.


OUTSTANDING PLAYERS
===================
David Martens (SCI, USS EXCALIBUR)
Since his arrival, David has jumped in actively both with his 
unit and by involving himself with Star Fleet Engineering during 
the refit process for EXCALIBUR. His willingness to get involved 
has help refine the definition of science facilities in the ship 
class. David's willingness to get actively involved in both 
role-playing and non-role-playing aspects of the club are an 
example to others.

Markku Herd (FCO, USS VALHALLA)
Since his arrival on board the USS VALHALLA, Markku Herd has 
been an outstanding player. His creativity, consistant posting, 
and grasp of great player character development has made him an 
invaluable member of this august crew. His efforts and great posts
are appreciated by all of the crew, especially the command staff. 
It is his excellent abilities as a writer and his cooperative play 
that makes him an irreplacable part of the team.
 
Tim Smolen, he's been aboard for years and while he may post 
sparingly, he builds an interesting character. He has good memory 
for Trek history, which also keeps the command staff in line as he 
remembers those tiny dangling threads we try very hard to forget.


Karen Fainges (CMO, USS AMBERJACK)
For continued, regular, exemplary support of the unit storyline 
and interaction above and beyond the standard fare. Dr. Mara is 
an asset to her unit and Fleet.

Nel Mackenzie (TAC/SEC, USS AMBERJACK)
For continued, regular, exemplary support of the unit storyline 
and interaction above and beyond the standard fare.  Lt JG V'Harn 
is also an asset to her unit and Fleet and we could make use of 
another half dozen Cassandra's in the Fleet.

 
Crystal (COMM, ORESTES)- Crystal is a new player to ASR, and 
has immediately made an impact upon ORESTES.  Not only has she 
worked hard to master the posting formats of ASR (no small task 
for new players now that ALB is closed), her writing has been 
forward-focused and interactive, always pushing the plot forward 
and inviting others into the writing.

Susanne Dubrov (TAC/CSO, DS13)- Over the years, Ms. Dubrov has 
been one of the most consistent players in ASR, and her consistency 
has been a major factor in keeping DS13 afloat through the absences 
of its CO and XO.  Her writing continues to push the story forward 
while at the same time spending time to develop character and interact 
with others.  An excellent model for
writers new to ASR.

Sean Speake (ENG, CIRCE)- Mr. Speake is again nominated for his 
consistency in posting, his depth of character development, and 
his direction of the plot- without him, CIRCE would be completely 
stalled.  One of ASR's most well-rounded and talented writers.
