WRITER OF THE MONTH

    Task Force 23: Hecate: Voz

Commander Vin Salvatore, Executive Officer. Instrumental in getting the sim moving again, and has thrown their character in at the deep end, making quite the splash with vim and verve.

    Area 51: Astrea: Nash/lee_d1701: Nash has been contributing to a lot of interesting posts lately, including his conflict with the chief intelligence officer, uncovering suspicious activity outside of Freecloud, and how he leans on his family to cope with stress from work. These posts contribute to mission progression and the development of not just his own character, but other characters in the sim. 

PLAYER OF THE MONTH

    Task Force 23: Fenrir: Mimi 

As Lieutenant Commander Daniel Masters, Mimi has been absolutely incredible this month (and all months truthfully), keeping posts entertaining and showcasing their characters while also allowing others to shine. On discord, Mimi has always time for a chat and some funny memes and they're such an important part of the sim, as well as getting people involved with offering posts. 

    Area 51: Herodotus & Valkyrie

Herodotus: Commander Marisa Sandoval.

I am putting my Executive Officer up for this award as without them I think I may have tossed in the towel on this game. It is hard to get a niche game running to the point of most sims and this one is no different. However, Sandoval guides, and pushes and even metaphorically slaps when needed. They are a fantastic writer, and player and I can honestly say the Herodotus would not exist without them.

Valkyrie: Larry – Lt. Liam O'Riley / Ens. Stevie Thomas

This month Larry has been THE single most active player, other than myself, and has taken it upon himself to initiate participation with other members of the crew both with his primary character and his NPC.

POST OF THE MONTH

    Task Force 23: Artemis & Uni orn

Artemis: "The Diagnosis" (https://artemis.uss-pioneer.net/index.php/sim/viewpost/258)

In this post the medical staff informs the over stressed Captain that their inmate is dying. To make matters worse he is dying from a tumor that is actually making him remorseful. An interesting post that brings the question of justice vs compassion.

Unicorn: “Meatball Medicine” (https://unicorn.sim-station.net/index.php/sim/viewpost/84)

    Area 51: SB109 & Tokyo

SB109: “Rescued” series, by Stephen, Austen, and Brad

Reason: The “Rescued” posts were a fast-moving, very exciting series following several ships involved in a series of attacks from the Second Sons, a pirate group led by the menacing Klingon H'tek, and the rescue mission overseen by SB109.
