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.

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.
