Edict #16
“Tea, Earl Grey, hot.”
With the new Commendation edict posted, I am pleased to announce the following commendations.
The following individuals have been awarded Cabinet Level Commendations for their contribution to their respective fleets:
Fleet 5 (The Meridian Fleet):
Bob Spicer. Early in this term, Bob Spicer was asked if he could come in and take the reigns of the USS Saracen, which needed help at the time. After all the issues the Saracen was suffering from were explained, Bob didn’t hesitate to say yes. Not long after Bob accepted the position, things got worse for the ship before they got better (for reasons out if Bob’s control). Notwithstanding that, Bob kept the crew active, the players engaged, and kept the ship afloat while the issues could be solved. The Saracen is now a very healthy ship, due to Bob Spicer’s willingness to become the CO of a troubled ship and hold everything together under his leadership.
TJ Morgan. TJ was appointed as the Chernov?s CO at the start of the term. A few people were surprised at the appointment. TJ has had a polarizing effect on the club in the past. I can?t say that there weren?t a few bumps at the start of the appointment. However, TJ was able to not only move past those bumps, but learn from them and create a very successful ship. So successful, in fact, that the Chernov has been one of the top ships of the Meridian Fleet ? if not the club ? for the entire term. TJ?s communication with his ship, his ability to mentor his DHs and give them increasing responsibilities, his astounding recruitment ability, his ease at taking on GM responsibilities when his GM left part-way through a sim, and his leadership by example ? which has led to the Chernov to be one of the highest posting ships in the club, all while doing so within the constraints of an alt-RPG charter for a specific time-period, are deserving of this commendation.
Fleet 6 (The Black Fleet)
Julia K. During her tenure on Oed V, Julia worked tirelessly on coming up with new ideas and approaches to improve the role playing area, and for a long time it only succeeded because she devoted so much time to it, at times literally making threads for every character to participate in, just so they would participate. She has since been assigned to the USS Genesis, where she has continued to show her dedication and energy.
The following individuals have been awarded Presidential Commendations for their contribution to the club:
Daniel Lerner. This particular commendation is for the work Daniel has done in documenting all of the promotions, commendations and recognitions that have been awarded since 1998 (see http://www.star-fleet.com/pd/commendations.html). He painstakingly went through each edict in the archive, pulling together a single document indexed by name, making it easier to see the work people have put into the club during their time.
Steve Johnson. It has been widely recognised how well the last election was run, and that is single handedly down to Steve’s role as Election Coordinator. It is never an easy job overseeing an election with multiple candidates fielding questions from the membership, and Steve remained objective throughout. Certainly this election would not have been as smooth running if it had not been for Steve.
