Edict #42
Darth Cookie Monster
Since she was promoted to Commodore in 2002, Emma has been President 3 times, Vice President 3 times, and Fleet Commander of Fleet 4 whenever she wasn’t President (until recently, when she served as IDir at my request). She’s also been involved with the Personnel Department whenever she’s not been president, and been IRC Admin for much of the past four years. She has authored more edicts and promoted more people than anyone in our recorded history. Whether you like or dislike her politics, it is plain that she has been one of the most influential members of the club in recent history.
In addition to this, she has been the leader of the Academy’s Discovery since 2002. Since this time, she has lead arguably the most productive and active ship, which graduates the most and best quality Cadets. She is a caring teacher who has been able to remain in the stressful Academy environment helping Cadets far longer than any of the other Academy staff.
Aside from her work in the government or in the Academy, Emma has been the dedicated Commanding Officer of the USS Asimov since 2000. She has continued to lead a strong ship that is often toted as the best ship in the club. She has done considerable work in Fleet 4 and created a true family atmosphere while maintaining active ships, accountable COs, and supporting each role-playing environment as much as necessary. She is an outstanding Fleet Commander and Commanding Officer.
Last, but certainly not least, she is an exceptional role player. She puts considerable thought and time into this activity, and every post from her is high quality. She has been this way from day 1, which was recognized when she won so many STFer Awards that they named the darn things after her!
Whether you love her or hate her, it is impossible to deny the positive impact she has had on the club through role-playing, leadership, teaching Cadets, and government involvement.
I am proud to and hereby promote Emma Rouse-Deane to the rank of Admiral, with all the rights and privileges thereof!
Congratulations Emma, this is well earned many times over.
/me orders mucho chocolate cake from Brandon for the celebration.
