» SS6 Promotions and Awards

Posted on Mon Apr 15th, 2013 @ 8:02pm by Captain Jorden Behr in Sim Announcement

Hello all,

As indicated in my last message, Kim and I have finished up assessing your performance in the last mission and are VERY happy to announce some promotions and awards for SS6. If you do not see your name here, it's because you joined too late in the mission (or even after!) and didn't have the chance to contribute much. However, the new mission is starting today and you will have PLENTY of opportunity going forward. :) And now...onto the announcements:

For her continued excellence in spite of trying, real life time constraints and difficulties – not to mention one hell of a job as SS6’s resident nurse – we hereby promote Christine (Freya Fuller) to the rank of Petty Officer, Second Class. Christine, we know how hard it’s been to keep up with the sim given real life but you’ve done very well. Thanks for hanging in there!

For his incredible ability to create NPCs that flesh out the station, massively further plot elements along, and utilize his main character to great effect, we’re pleased to promote Mo (Angela Nolan) to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Mo, you do a wonderful job of making our station feel lived in and more realized. Thanks for all you do.

For amazing writing ability and an RP-tenacity that’s nothing short of stellar, we hereby promote Jamie (Shar’Wyn Foster) to the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Jamie, you’ve done a fantastic job with playing a character who’s richly entertaining, interesting to learn about, and really skilled at both social and professional RP. Thank you for both that and for pulling in other players and weaving excellent stories jointly. You rock. : )

For his work in creating and adding to existing plots in excellent and effective ways – never failing to bring in other players and help them further their own characters – we hereby award David (Dr. Alenis Anjar) the Decoration of Gallantry. David, thank you for all you did both on the station as Anjar and on Trill as Ohala. Your efforts were very much appreciated.

For her never-ending efforts to remain a vital member of the crew – and for being willing to play along with the Trill plot and accept the potential consequences of her character’s choices – we award Heather (Lt. Jek Wakar) with the Cross for Courage and Loyalty. Although work often keeps Heather from us for long swaths of time, she always does a PHENOMENAL job of catching up and remaining relevant and vital to the sim. Well done, Heather. :)

To Dave (Lt. Cmdr. Alexander Bennet), we’re pleased to award the Cross for Distinguished Service. Dave, you did an excellent job of taking the plot points with all the station damage and running with them. You also did a great job in creating and leveraging NPCs to help your department feel incredibly fleshed out and “alive.” Thank you for all of your efforts on this last mission.

For his efforts in establishing the long history of his character and effectively bringing some of those historical elements to play in the Trill plot, we hereby award Russell (Lt. JG. Gran Dar) with the Cross of Distinction. Russ, you’ve really striven to show a more “real side” to your character and have made great efforts to transform him through the Joining process. Thanks also for rolling with the Trill plot and helping us create something universe-shaking.

To Iain (Ensign Alex Morgan), we hereby award the Conspicuous Service Cross. Iain, we appreciate how well you take the ball and run with it when thrown your way. Thank you for helping to move the plot along where you can and for sticking with us even through time constraint difficulties. :)

For his incredible writing ability and a willingness to play something new and be involved in less than forthright dealings, we hereby award Adam (Freighter Captain Rowe) with the Honour of Excellence. Adam, you never fail to impress with the descriptiveness and powerful imagery of your posts’ prose. Your posts are always really entertaining to read and though real life sometimes intervenes, your presence is always appreciated.

And lastly, we come to Kim (Lt. Cmdr. Avila). As you know, this last mission served as her Command School internship. For that, she was tasked with creating the entire mission – minus the side events on Trill – and coordinating all of the NPCs and player characters necessary to play things out. It is my opinion – and that of her Command School observer – that Kim performed this duty incredibly well, having crafted a plot that was engaging, entertaining, and fun. As such, I hereby promote Kim to the rank of Commander, with all the headaches and paperwork that go with that as my Executive Officer. ; ) Kim, you can throw away that ‘Acting’ part of your rank now. Thank you for such a bang up job with the last mission. We all appreciate your hard work!

I'll be updating your characters' profiles with these awards soon. However, if you'd like to read about them in detail, you can find them here: http://www.sierra6.org/index.php/manage/awards. Please excuse all references to Sixth Fleet...we're in the process of revamping the award language to take those out. Congratulations all of you and thanks for an excellent last mission! Look for the new one to start later today.

- Brad

» Welcome and Announcements

Posted on Wed Apr 10th, 2013 @ 7:50pm by Captain Jorden Behr in Sim Announcement

Greetings SS6 players,

Just a couple of things. First, please join me in giving a VERY warm welcome to our newest player on SS6, Mike Lecorps! Mike will be playing Kahl Ulethi, a former Starfleet Officer who resigned his commission to become a reporter for the Federation News Service. Given all that's been happening out here along the Dark Frontier -- the adopted name for this particular region along the former Neutral Zone -- Starfleet has agreed to allow the FNS to station one of their more accomplished reporters on SS6. Look for more in-character details about this soon. Mike, the nature of your character offers a phenomenal amount of RP-hooks and we hope you'll enjoy interviewing our characters about everything going on out here. :)

Second, we'd initially wanted to start the next mission this week. However, there are several ongoing JPs that aren't yet finished and Kim and I are still working on promotions and commendations after the last mission (apologies on the delay there...we've both been BEYOND swamped lately). As such, we'll plan to start the new mission next Monday, April 15. Please get any and all Shoreleave posts done ahead of that date so we can cleanly launch what I'm hoping will be a really exciting mission. :)

Thanks everyone!

- Brad (Captain Behr)
