ASR Honors List- October 2010 Round Table
From StarFleet Bureau of Information
Good day everyone! Please disseminate to all of your Fleets and COs. Congratulations to everyone selected. I'll try not to blow up any more ships... :) Tim Cooke Admiral Tarvis Ren CINCSF ASR PRIME BLUE FLEET Outstanding Player SUSANNE DUBROV (CIC, USS FEARLESS) Susanne is one of the unit's most regular posters and, most importantly, does so with style. She is able to bring in new elements, and give a dying plot an interesting twist to keep it alive or to send the story to a new vivid direction. Also her posts very often have tags that tease players to reply and post. Outstanding Command Player Roger Bedford (CO, SB ORESTES) Since taking command of ORESTES, Roger has made a mark on the unit. Between recruiting enthusiastic players and creating an engaging plot, he has managed to resurrect the unit. He sets an example as a unit leader. _________________________________________________________________________ SILVER FLEET Outstanding Player Awards Alton Reich (CEO, USS HOKKAIDO): Alton has taken firm control of Engineering with his accident-prone Ensign. He's made the preparation for the ship's first mission fun. Marco Mueller (CMO, USS HOKKAIDO): His friendly country doctor attitude together with a huge Klingon nurse make every visit to the sickbay an adventure. Michelle Gelles (USS FENRIR): She surely has put forward a lot of interest, and she's challenging herself (by her own admission) with a bit of plot creation, something she wasn't used to thinking about. David Martens, OPS USS VALHALLA: David Martens is a posting machine! He is always willing to work with any other crew member to create very meaningful and enjoyable posts. He has created a character that is truly interesting to read about and is vital to the ship. Always willing to continue any plotline, he adds a positive influence on everyone that posts with him, only making the storyline better with his writing. Markku Herd, FCO USS VALHALLA: Markku Herd is an ASR veteran and it shows. His maturity, creativity and intelligence reflects in every post he makes. His good nature and humour shines through every post of his character and it is a real joy to read about the exploits of his character and the characters he writes about in every post. Nothing is sacred, and that is in a good way. His NPCs are excellent, the writing for his PC is an artform, his use of other player's characters is right on - without him, the VALHALLA would indeed be a lot less interesting place to write about. Federico Colnago, ENG USS VALHALLA: Since coming on board, Federico has earned a place as one of the better creative writers for the VALHALLA, if not the entirety of ASR. The VALHALLA is a rich place to write about, as she is a new class of ship, and the chances for delving into her technology is wide ranging and interesting. Federico has taken that challenge and come to the forefront. Without a doubt, he is one of the most creative players playing an engineer I have ever written with. I enjoy reading every post, from a routine repair to a major structural problem in the middle of a large scale muti-Fleet battle! His engineer is not perfect, though. Reading about his strengths is fun, but reading about his character flaws is even better. Nel McKenize (USS AMBERJACK) Her Romulan Chief of Security has matured and came along way since this unit first sailed about 4 years ago. Her character adds an exciting and interesting depth to the unit. Also, it makes us stop and think about the darker side of all of us. Juan Angel(USS AMBERJACK) Juan has been in many positions aboard the ship. Each charater is different and unique. Juan is an experienced writer that helps keep this ship afloat. Outstanding Command Player Award Stefan Wiedner, XO USS VALHALLA: Stefan has been a great assistance to the CO of the VALHALLA. Always available for a JP, always there to help new arrivals to the ship, and always willing to take on whatever was required of him, Stefan is an invaluable resource for the VALHALLA. During the last inter-Fleet mission, Stefan even volunteered to Captain an NPC ship for the duration in addition to his role as the XO of the VALHALLA. His posts are always thoughtful, creative, and leave lots of plot hooks for everyone to latch onto. Stefan truly makes his character come alive, and that is a rare gift for a writer. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ___ ASR ORIGINS Outstanding Player Awards KYUNGMI KIM (SCI, USS INTREPID; XO, USS ENDEAVOR) The INTREPID outstanding player award is presented to Kyungmi Kim, who plays LCDR Akiko Kimmura and ENS Haruko Kimura. Whether her posts involve checking the sensors, not kissing the Captain, or kicking ass, we can always count on Kyungmi to be clever, creative, and to keep things moving along. STACY SKINNER (SCI, USS REPUBLIC; SCI, USS ENDEAVOR) A relative newcomer to ASR, Stacey has been a powerhouse of quality posting from day one. Her friendly attitude, enthusiasm, engaging stories, and consistent posting have made the her units an absolute joy to write for. She has certainly been instrumental in making the REPUBLIC thrive during its difficult first mission. TIM SOWARDS (SEC, USS REPUBLIC) Tim returned to ORIGINS guns blazing. His welcome infusion of energy, exciting posts, and willingness to work any story thrown at him helped keep the REPUBLIC afloat during its first mission. As one co-writer noted, "his posts never cease to inspire me." Outstanding Unit Award USS INTREPID - The crew of the INTREPID has worked hard to maintain both a high posting rate and a "classic" Star Trek feel to her missions. The action is fast paced, the fist fights always result in blood being spilled, and they used the self destruct! (Ok, maybe the Admiralty isn't so excited about the whole self destruct thing.) Outstanding Command Player Awards GREG POSEY (CO, USS ENDEAVOR; XO, USS DEFIANT) is a solid commander, player, writer and team member in ORIGINS. He works tirelessly to ensure not only his own unit but the other units he serves on are the best that they can be. In RP he writes creative and interesting posts that help move the plot, provide hooks for other writers and creates stories that are a joy to read. On the admin side of things he takes his duties seriously and not only works tirelessly to ensure the health of his unit(s) he can always be counted on to join in CO discussions on 6th Fleet, make suggestions for its betterment and is generally just a force his fleet commander is glad to have on his side! TIM COOKE (XO, USS INTREPID) The "Zero, Zero, Zero, Destruct Zero" award is presented to Tim Cooke for the first documented use of the self destruct in ORIGINS. Tim, playing as LCDR Karzin Ren, showed a willful disregard for his own life, and the value of Starfleet property, when he initiated the self destruct sequence aboard the USS KEPLER. His actions resulted in the destruction of a hostile vessel and the aforementioned KEPLER, in addition to causing damage to the INTREPID, the repair cost of which will be deducted from his paycheck over the next 20 years. Meritorious Service Award BRIAN MANSUR is recognized for not only his great team writing and commitment to his units but for his dedication to ASR. Over the past few months Brian has put a lot of time and effort to creating trailers designed to promote and inspire. These three trailers (one for each timeline) not only advertise each unit in ASR but spell out the ideals of the club and the atmosphere of each timeline in a creative and exciting way. Brian continues to be a role model for all of is in ASR.
