ASR Honors List- October 2006 Round Table

==========================
OCTOBER 2006 ASR RT AWARDS
==========================

Please join me in congratulating writers and administrators listed below; they are examples of the finest that ASR has to offer.

This time around, the list is a large one; with so many people deserving of recognition given the recent turmoil, such a list
was only appropriate.

Here's to our winners: may they inspire others to reach new heights over the next 6 months.


Most Respectfully,

Scott Lusby

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

* Jenna Povey (XO, USS EXCALIBUR)
Ms. Povey has been an essential part of EXCALIBUR since coming aboard as a command player during the last change in command.
Her ability to manage plot threads and personnel have had a direct affect on the success of the unit.

* CF Kane, (2O/OPS, USS EXCALIBUR)
Since the last change of command, Mr. Kane's contribution to the EXCALIBUR's cannot be measured.  He jumped right in and set 
the tempo for the rest of the unit with his enthusiasm and ability, as good command players should.

* Markku Herd (XO, USS ANDROMEDA)
In the words of his commanding officer, Mr. Herd "is instrumental in keeping the plots fresh and interesting for everyone."
As such, Mr. Herd serves as a fine example of how command players can motivate through RP.

* Mary McNeely (XO, USS YORKTOWN; CO, USS AMBERJACK)
Ms. McNeely excels in the art of the joint post, and plays a critical role in keeping the community of ANDROMEDA humming 
along.  Her ability to use this skill to prod plots along and motivate posting from her shipmates makes her an outstanding 
command player.  Further testament to her command ability was offered by one of her commanding officers:  "Mary had been a 
rock of sense and stability in SAPPHIRE Fleet, and a most capable administrator during the collapse of the fleet.  She has 
also commanded the AMBERJACK with extraordinary dedication and ability. Over time she has turned what was once a failing unit 
into smoothly running group."  Enough said. **Received Multiple Nominations**

* Ed Bell (CO, USS COVENTRY)
Mr. Bell plays Captain Peter Erickson and displays considerable energy and talent in setting the table and providing ample 
opportunities for COVENTRY players to explore and write.

* Anna Cordray (CO, USS MACRONIN)
Ms. Cordray took over command of this unit this summer and rolled up her sleeves and worked hard to try and give this unit 
focus and a forward-looking direction with a new mission more oriented along traditional Star Trek themes, creating 
opportunities for more open role play of interest to many players.

* Scott Ramos (XO, USS AMBERJACK)
Mr. Ramos is so nominated for his tireless work aboard AMBERJACK and for always helping to make each mission a success.

* Rafael Cabrero (OPS, USS KUSANAGI)
Mr. Cabrero was instrumental in wrapping up the last mission. He almost single-handily provided the background that finished 
the story and ran his own subplot that added much to the tapestry and internal logic of the mission. His trademark are long, 
thought-out posts that pack both character-development and plot.

* Anna Cordray (XO, USS KUSANAGI)
Despite the time commitments of her own command, Ms. Cordray jumped into the fray and became a motivator for the crew of the 
USS KUASANGI, helping the unit to stabilize and bringing new twists to the mission.

* Scott Lusby (CO, USS CIRCE; OPS, DS-13)
Despite heavy administrative responsibilities, Mr. Lusby works tirelessly as a command player for his units. He has been 
instrumental in the long term success and high posting rate of CIRCE. More importantly, he has been invaluable in the command 
transition process of DS13, effectively taking on a second command when the CO resigned and the XO was on a leave of absence.


* Bruce Summa (CO, USS FEARLESS)
Bruce has continued to meet the challenge posed by FEARLESS' complex story arc and has built a unit which has shown moments of 
real brilliance under his stewardship.


OUTSTANDING PLAYERS
===================

* Craig Barrett (FCO, USS EXCALIBUR)
Mr. Barrett is the consummate player, always jumping in with posts that push the plot forward and help get other players 
involved.  A model player through and through, one who would make an excellent instructor at ALB.

* Chris Faulk (CMO, USS YORKTOWN)
Since joining the YORKTOWN, Mr. Faulk has posted consistently and exhibited exceptional teamwork.  An exceptional new player.


* Lena Rose (CMO, USS COVENTRY)
Ms. Rose plays Dr. Hanford and brings the medical department to life on COVENTRY with her solid blending of role play that 
progresses the story and character development that includes other players in her progressions of the storyline. Lena is also 
outstanding in how she includes NPC's that add depth and color to life on board USS COVENTRY.

* Antje Bechtoldt (TAC, USS NOVA)
Ms. Bechtoldt is a creative and inspirational writer who draws others into the story and motivates her crew mates.

* Andrew Bell (SCI, DS13)
Mr. Bell's enthusiasm for writing is obvious to all who read DS13's work: he posts often, he moves plots forward, and he stays 
involved in the story- everything a command player wants to see from the players on his/her unit. An excellent role-model for 
up-and-coming writers in the club.

* Susanne Dubrov (TAC/SEC, DS13; MCO, USS KUSANAGI)
Ms. Dubrov is commended for her admirable dedication to DS13 in particular. Her regular posting and her willingness to jump 
into complex threads with other writers- often through joint posts- keeps the unit's writing fresh and fluid.  An outstanding 
player who should be considered for command in the future.

* Madonna Eagle (CMO, USS CIRCE)
Ms. Eagle continues to write. Consistently.  Her posts are always dramatic and thought-provoking, making her a wonderful 
compliment to CIRCE's crew. In short, an indispensable member of the CIRCE family.

* Craig Evans (CIC, USS FEARLESS)
Mr. Evans has been a motivating force for FEARLESS both through posting and non-RP contributions to the unit.

* Reginald McKamie (NAV, TF SIERRA)
Mr. McKamie is clearly a key force in motivating the unit and has been the driving force in her recent writing. He has worked 
tirelessly to motivate his fellow writers and has been key in helping the new unit CO in his transition to command of this 
rather unconventional unit.

* Alan Rogers (PRO/OPS, USS CIRCE)
Mr. Rogers is recognized for his efforts in keeping the complex plot threads of CIRCE's stories moving in a forward, unified 
direction.  His efforts were instrumental in his being promoted to a command billet.  CIRCE would be lost without him.



MERITORIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENDATION 
=======================================

* Jeffrey Jenkins (CINCGOLD)
Mr. Jenkins is so nominated for the continued dedication and work ethic he brings to ASR.  He was instrumental in seeing the 
units of Star Trek: Frontiers rejoin us, and was even more instrumental in helping us stay together after their recent 
departure.  He is always ready with advice and counsel when asked, and is likewise ready to roll up his sleeves and dive in on 
nearly any project, from the uniform and insignia project to the moving and re-opening of the Bureau of Information Wiki.  
Without his efforts and his sound advice, ASR would be worse off for it.


HONORS TO RETIRED PERSONNEL
===========================

* Sean Speake (MCO, USS CIRCE)
Mr. Speake has portrayed the MCO of USS CIRCE since the unit's opening 8 years ago, one of the longest continuous tenures in 
the history of the club. In that time, he managed to create characters- both PC's and NPC's alike- that feel more like family 
than simply a collection of words.  That, in addition to his steadfast dedication to CIRCE and ASR, makes Mr. Speake a player 
who will be sorely missed.

* Kimberly Huff-Caplan (CO, DS13)
Mrs. Huff-Caplan has held command of DS13/SERAPIS for over three years; in that time, she has overseen the growth in both size 
and complexity of the unit's storylines and been a great individual motivator.  A player whose departure will leave a hole in 
ASR.
