ASR Honors List- April 2006 Round Table

Congratulations to everyone that received awards. I would like to award
every player that offers JPS and hooks for others to write from. Everyone
who that does that deserves our praise.

Outstanding Player
==================

Jeff Jenkins - (CEO USS KRONSHTADT) Lt. Commander Walker still keeps the
ship intact and as Jeff writes him still keeps ship life interesting, and
keeps the Kansashun Planetary Defense Force on their toes. He's probably due for
a promotion.

Mike Tripp (USS SAM HOUSTON, DSIPT, MARRAKESH): Mike devotes a great deal of
time to the units he is playing at and creates a fun environment with hooks
for anyone to join.

Scott Ramos (USS YORKTOWN, FCO) Tried and true, his writing gives us all
something to write our characters around. His characters are the bread and
butter of the ship. They're quiet and loyal and sometimes we fail to notice
them. But we'd surely notice if they weren't there.

Jeff Uribe (TAC USS NEBULA) He has been a constant since he joined the
Nebula. His posts are creative, insightful, full of openings for other
crewmembers to work upon so that they can also add to the story. His
teamwork is essential to the health of the ship, and has come up with new
ideas several times, which has been a great assistance to the CO.

Kevin Thigpen (CNS, USS KIROV) continues to be recognized for his sustained
enthusiasm and creativity. He has taken a substantial role in plot
development and character interaction and his contributions and commitment
to the USS KIROV are appreciated by all.

Tim Smolen (MED to OPS USS ANDROMEDA) has swapped characters, but nothing
stops him thinking up great ideas that the whole ship can work with. A great
player.

Antje Bechtoldt (CIC NOVA)- Arriving on NOVA in late October, Antje made her
presence immediately felt. She jumped into a complex story line midstream,
helping to make significant progress and quickly becoming a major mover in
the story. Perhaps more importantly, she helped to draw other writers
deeper into the story.

Susanna Dubrov (TAC DS13, MCO KUSANAGI)- Ms. Dubrov continues to post
regularly and enthusiastically for DS13 and KUSANAGI, even after assuming a
new command billet (XO USS AKAGI) in the last 6 months. Her enthusiasm for
the club is truly commendable.

Marco Mueller (SCI NOVA, CIC DS13)- Mr. Mueller is an enthusiastic and
engaging writer. He has a talent for story development and for drawing
others into not only his writing, but the mission as a whole. His character
and story development have recently been recognized in his promotion to
command of KUSANAGI.

Jenna Povey (ENG KUSANAGI)- Ms. Povey has stepped back into writing quickly
after a long hiatus from ASR. She has returned to her characteristic
strengths of character development and involving other writers in
collaboratively developing the plot. Her clean and clear prose gives us a
peak inside the minds of her characters.

Alan Rogers (PRO CIRCE, OPS FEARLESS)- Mr. Rogers is, pure and simply, a
force; his characters, despite being exceptionally alien, have a realism to
their actions that can only come from careful crafting...and his ability to
blend his development of these characters into the plots of his units makes
them all the richer for it.

Outstanding Command Player
==========================

Markku Herd (XO USS ANDROMEDA)- Makes being a Captain easy by always being
there as the perfect XO. He keeps the roster, sends out reports and most
importantly comes up with plots and posts that blow your mind. A privilege
and a pleasure to play with.

Michael Alibrando (OPS USS YORKTOWN)- New to the Yorktown, but has landed
with an eagerness and brings a fresh outlook to the ship.

Mary McNeely (Multiple commendations)- Mary took over the AMBERJACK short
before STF and ASR merged. Since then Mary continuously worked hard to get
the AMBERJACK running. Her devotion to the unit and the players make the
AMBERJACK a fun place to write.

Reggie McKamie Jr - (CO, USS DAEDALUS)- Reggie has been in command of his
unit for years, sustaining his interest and the interest of the players
there with him
with his creativity and sense of humour.

Bruce Summa (CO FEARLESS)- Mr. Summa assumed command of a unit in the midst
of an immensely complex plot, and has done so with vigour and stead fast
leadership, all the more admirable given that this is his first command.
His work to finish that mission, bring aboard new crew and take the ship in
his own direction as he has pushed into a new mission phase. In short, Mr.
Summa has done excellent work in a short time.

Austin Forsyth (XO CIRCE)- Mr. Forsyth once again continues to lead CIRCE
from the front lines, keeping CIRCE's plots moving forward and its players
involved with an enthusiasm matched by few in this club. He continues to be
the engine which powers CIRCE.

MERITORIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENDATION:
========================================
The ALB team for their work in bringing the new direct entry system online.
I am sure we will all see the benefits.

Outstanding Unit
=====================
USS YORKTOWN - Silver Fleet
USS KRONSHTADT - Green Fleet
USS AMBERJACK - Sapphire Fleet
USS CIRCE - Gold Fleet

Most Improved Unit
=====================
USS EXCALIBUR - Silver Fleet
USS COVENTRY - Green Fleet

Honourable Mention
=====================
USS DAEDALUS

HONORS TO RETIRED PERSONNEL
============================
Lars Duening (CO, USS KUSANAGI; TAC, USS NOVA)- Mr. Duening has been a
strong leader and valued crew member. He was a dynamic story teller and
valuable member of his units.

Scott Freligh (CO, USS FEARLESS -Inadvertently omitted at the October RT)-
Mr. Freligh has been a driving force of creative energy in ASR. His creative
vision and far-spaning story lines energize crews and push their writing
into new and exciting frontiers.

Scott Lusby (DEPCINCGOLD)- Mr. Lusby has been a dedicated administrator who
has worked tirelessly behind the scenes of Golf Fleet. Not only has he
worked to aid in crewing the ships and supporting role play, but he has also
helped to organize the massive and complex history of the Krima
Expeditionary Force as a resource to support further development of this
venerable Gold Fleet story line.

Well that's all from me folks. It has been a pleasure and a privilege
serving ASR.

Rose is free to visit now if anyone wants her to drop in. Who would have
thought the character originally written so I could have a 'red shirt' would
go so far?

Glorious writing for you all.
