Executive Officer's Personal Merit AwardAwarded in January and July by the executive officer to a player of their SIMM.This is the first time I have the privilege to hand out this special award. I want to take the opportunity to recognize a player that had become more special and important for my character that I ever would have imagined. She engages with me in so many holodecks to build up a back-story for them together, which helps to form their relationship and personality. And over the months she had become someone I would call a friend.
But she shows this engagement to everyone who's willing to, playing holodecks or NPCs for them while she always has an eye on the crew and even the site as a whole to make sure that everyone is happy, involved and has fun playing. She cares for everyone here and it shows by her words and actions.
This Personal Merit Award goes to
Rayek tr'Lhoell.
Normally, this would be it on my part. But there is one more award I have the honor to hand out today.
Contribution AwardAwarded to players who go above and beyond what is asked of them.For sure there are several players who would be deserving of this award. The player we want to recognize today is a person who himself says that - given his position - he does exactly what is asked of him. But he does way more.
He is open to personalize missions for his players to give them the opportunity to play out personal side-plots (Rayek and Tess' wedding; Orion celebration), he creates NPCs, whole embassies of them to contribute to the simm and help to engage players. He spends more than just his time for the simm and site to provide us with awesome pictures and graphics of our station and ships.
We can truly say, even as our Captain and the contribution that is expected of him, he goes above and beyond what is asked of him and for that we wholeheartedly want to recognize you,
Solluk.
