For “The War”
A blood curdling scream and an undignified string of something. This one has funny written all over it.

USS Washington

For “Appearances are Deceiving”
A nice way to get the ship and crew into action.

MVP

Rookie of the Month

Lt. J’goss Yass G’odoss
Chief Flight Control Officer
USS Chuck Norris

G’odoss took the initiative to create new plot lines, joint posts, and multiple interesting takes in addition to tying for the sim lead in totals posts. His performance continues to increase.

The Commander recruited to the sim one new player, who has already begun making solid contributions to the game.

In other news, our fleet XO Admiral Ken Gillis was awarded the Ongoing Worlds Community Honor for his efforts with FallFest. Congratulations, Admiral, and thank you to everyone who had a role in putting on an outstanding FallFest.

This is why we sim! Keep it coming!

We had a lot of great contributors in August, including some fantastic award winners below. However, there’s one thing missing: No Recruitment award. If you’re doing any work to recruit players to your game or the fleet, please make sure your CO is aware so they can nominate you for an award.

For “Enter Lord Chaos”
An interesting antagonist escaping from prison, a good start to any mission!

Monthly Awards: June 2020

Posted on | by Rook Mirtoh | Leave a Comment on Monthly Awards: June 2020

When it comes to awards, it’s certainly tough to follow the Hall of Fame. However, we’re still going to try. The show must go on! Here are your June 2020 award winners:

Best Post

Ensign Balen Pibb

A funny little interaction that moves the plot forward more than meets the eye.

Funniest Post

For “Curiosity Has Risks”
It may be simple, but I’m sure of one thing: This is going to be a great mission.

MVP

Lt. Cmdr. Aliss Springs
