ASR Honors List- April 2007 Round Table
From StarFleet Bureau of Information
APRIL 2007 ASR ROUND TABLE AWARDS ================================= Congratulations to one and all on this list! -- Scott Lusby =^= ADM Conrad Veld Outgoing CINCSF Alt.StarFleet.RPG OUTSTANDING COMMAND PLAYER AWARD: ================================= Markku Herd (XO, USS ANDROMEDA)- As was explained to me: "...the man is a saint, helping way past the requirements of an XO. If there is a place for good XO's in heaven, he is assured of a front seat." I don't think anything further needs to be said. Jenna Povey (XO, USS EXCALIBUR)- As the XO she has been always working to keep on the mission even in the worst moments. She is always a support for the rest of the crew. Mary McNeely (CO, USS AMBERJACK)- ASR currently has a wide range of unit styles in terms of interaction and pace. Very few ASR Units can come close to matching the significant level of interaction and energy, enthusiasm, and competent writing that USS AMBERJACK possesses under the leadership and command of Mary McNeely. Mary's energy and enthusiasm not only propels the other people on her unit, it also inspires others aware of her efforts to do more. ASR has many fine people contributing these days in command positions and elsewhere, but none come close to taking care of business as Mary McNeely; ASR no one currently is as committed, as accessible, as talented and valuable as Mary McNeely. Mary is one of ASR's Most Outstanding Player this year and that is an opinion shared by multiple ASR contributors. Edward Bell (CO, SB SAIKAI) and Anna Cordray (XO, SB SAIKAI) were CO's of two units that were functioning better than the baseline ASR units of the last year. Not satisfied with that they worked together towards a goal of building one strong unit out of those two - a unit that would have the opportunity to be one of ASR's strongest, most vital units. Ed and Anna warrant appreciation and recognition for being committed to making the effort to provide an interesting opportunity for people who want to interact with more than 2 other people. Developing Starbase Saikai into a unit that provides opportunities for interaction and adventure and fun is an ongoing process. ANNA CORDRAY deserves special recognition for her willingness to merge her unit with Ed's and take the second in command role of the Starbase. She has worked endlessly with the new CO to assist in making the station unit ready to RP in a week and a half, and was instrumental in some of the harder details of the merger and in bringing the station billet status to 75%. Rafe Cabrero (OPS, USS KUSANAGI)- Mr. Cabrero's unique creative flair has helped KUSANAGI to explore new frontiers in writing and examine complex and well-developed stories. Reginald McKamie (Task Force SIERRA)- Mr. McKamie has been a central figure to story development in Task Force SIERRA. He has been the motivating factor for many of the writers in the unit, drawing them into the story. Kevin Thigpen (XO, USS FEARLESS)- Mr. Thigpen has been a major influence and driving force in the FEARLESS soty. His dedication to the unit and ASR is without bounds as he regularly drives himself and others to post. His hard work and dedication are appreciate by all of his fellow writers. Jeffery Trock (XO, USS NOVA)- Mr. Trock has long brought his special touch to NOVA. Or should that be that the XO is touched in the head? His character, Jack Danger, brings a unique flair that manages to motivate and entertain at the same time in a way that is truly unique and brings life and fun to the writing environment. OUTSTANDING PLAYER AWARD: ========================= Kevin Thigpen (CNS, USS KIROV) continues to be the dominant force on KIROV. He has taken a substantial role in plot development and character interaction and is recognized for his sustained enthusiasm and creativity. He is adept at moving the plot while ensuring that all are involved. Kevin is truly a team player. Mike Noorman (COU, USS NEBULA)- It was extremely hard to nominate one person this time around. However, Mike Noorman has helped bring the ship to a new high in posting rate, creativity, and fun. His posts are always invaluable to further the plot along, while containing lots of activity for everyone. He is unselfish in his posts, and is always willing to help pass on information about his character, or to assist in furthering the plot. His posts are always a joy to read and are always excellent. Mike is an invaluable member of the NEBULA team. Wesley Sterner (COU, USS YORKTOWN) joined the YORKTOWN a few months ago, during a very rough time. But through it all he still hung in there with the unit, and posted under the most adverse conditions. Lena Rose (CMO, USS COVENTRY/SB SAIKIA; COU, USS CIRCE)- Took the reigns of several characters after their writers went silent. One of two writers carrying the story for COVENTRY. Always looking for ways to improve the storyline and to inject interesting twists and turns when ever she can. Additionally, Ms. Rose is the consummate team player: she writes a tone of JP's, picks up hooks left by others, and draws others into her writing. She is a fixture on CIRCE whose contributions bring richness and depth to the unit. Dean Winslow (FCO, USS KRONSHTADT)- Created an unanticipated development in the shore leave storyline in San Francisco - an earthquake in the Bay area - that sparked several writers to react to that disaster responding with excellent posts from their character's perspective; some that showed how a local tragedy could impact people in other parts of the world, and some that showed how those local tragedies so important to the locals are but footnotes to other some in other regions. Scott Ramos (ENGXO, USS AMBERJACK)- Scott's characters are the glue that hold the rest of the crew together. His characters always provide the focus and the common sense that some of the characters lose in the face of danger and adversity. Antje Bechtoldt (TAC, USS NOVA; OPS, USS DAEDALUS)- Ms. Bechtoldt is an inspiration to captain and crew alike. Her creative vision and boundless energy bring out the best in her fellow writers. Jenna Povey (ENG, USS KUSANAGI)- Ms. Povey is commended for her tireless dedication to KUSANAGI. She has been the central writer in the story of the ship and has continuously encouraged the best efforts in others. OUTSTANDNING UNIT COMMENDATION: =============================== SILVER- USS NEBULA GREEN- USS AMBERJACK/USS KRONSHTADT (tie) GOLD- USS NOVA MOST IMPROVED UNIT AWARD: ========================= SILVER- USS YORKTOWN GREEN- STARBASE SAIKAI GOLD- TASK FORCE SIERRA HONORS TO RETIRED PERSONNEL: ============================ Scott Lusby (CINCSF)- Mr. Lusby is the first person in the history of the club to serve two discontinuous terms in the chief executive position. He has been a tireless leader, always willing to do anything to support the club and its efforts to be a successful shared-writing environment. Without his contributions, the club would be a poorer place. Andrew Catterick (CSFO)- Mr. Catterick came into the role of CSFO in a difficult time, and immediately brought a calming stability to the BUPERS office. His steady hand as a veteran senior administrator was invaluable as we transitioned away from ALB and into a direct-admission club. His advice and counsel during his 6 months on the job were of great value.
