Edict #36 - Stardate 10073.1
“Everyone around the world, Come on! It’s a celebration!”
Earlier today I did a review of all Commanding Officers who have held their posts for at least two years, who have not been promoted to Fleet Captain. I was honestly surprised that some of them had slipped through the promotion cracks, and when you read the list of names you’ll understand why. I want to apologize to everyone that I don’t have time to write individual promotion edicts. Seniority will be determined by the order in which I list the promotions.
The following people are hereby promoted to Fleet Captain, with all the rights and privileges therein:
Chris Grinder
Chris has been CO of the USS Polaris since November of 2006. He has run an amazing ship with a crew that loves him, with the Polaris frequently being an STFer Awards nominee. Additionally, he has been a very responsive and dedicated Fleet Commander. He was very brave by successfully running the first Fleet 2 shuttle race event, and has been working hard at helping increase Fleet 2’s fleet identity. All of my dealings with him have been positive, and I’m very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him this term. Congratulations Chris!
Kendra Kerr
Kendra Kerr, formerly known as Kendra Abbott, has been CO of the USS Atlantis since May of 2008. The Atlantis is a frequent nominee and/or winner of STFer awards as well. The Atlantis is another ship with a (very large) crew that is fiercely loyal to its CO because she runs her ship so well. Kendra served as Fleet Commander, Fleet 3 for a period of time, and her wit is always appreciated in IRC. Congratulations Kendra!
D Grisham
D has been CO of the USS Europa since August of 2008. Like any ship, the Europa has it’s ups and downs, but with D as CO she has always managed to excel. D brings great creativity to the role of CO, and the Europa is currently one of the fastest posting ships in the club. Prior to being CO of the Europa, D was CO of the Paladin in 2005. D’s characters throughout the club are consistently creative and she is one of the most talented role players that I’ve had the pleasure of playing with. Congratulations D!
David Fergusson
Running an Alt RPG is never easy, yet David Fergusson has managed to remain as CO of the Merrimack since March of 2004. If this isn’t a record for the longest running CO of an Alt RPG, it has to be close! The Merrimack hasn’t always been the most impressive ship in the club, as interest in the TOS Movie era wanes and waxes, but David has provided solid leadership for six years. The Merrimack is currently doing very well, and David is well overdue for a promotion for his efforts. Congratulations David!
