Anniversary Day/Promotions & Awards/RPG-X CO Elections

[Jenson]

Hello everyone,

Anniversary Day!

Firstly, let me wish everyone a Happy Anniversary Day! Six years ago today, TLO was founded by 4 of us--and six years later, I'm still shocked at how we've grown and what we've become It's been a pleasure, and I thank you all for your contributions to growing and furthering this community throughout the years.

RPG-X CO Elections

Today also brings with it some changes. Telex Ferra, who has served as RPG-X CO throughout most of TLO's history, has today announced her intention to step down as RPG-X CO as soon as a replacement is found. Everyone here will know of Telex's tireless work for RPG-X and TLO as one of its founding members, and the energy, skill, and enthusiasm she has placed into RPG-X. We're very grateful for her work, passion, and energy and we're glad to know that she'll still be around to continue that work in a different way.

With this announcement, elections have now begun for the next RPG-X CO. The election schedule will be as follows:

-Nominations: Sunday July 10 - Wednesday July 13th (6 PM EST)

Awards

StringTheorist:

•  TLO Spirit Award for his hard work and dedication to the principles of TLO.

StringTheorist remains an extremely enthusiastic member of this community who has served well on the RPG-X staff, and is always ready to mentor and assist new members. His attitude is an example of the spirit of this community, and I am pleased to nominate him for this award.

Klaw

•  Jean-Luc Picard Command Cross

(Member nominated:) I'd like to nominate Klaw for the Jean-Luc Picard Command Cross for a succesfull launch of season 2 of Daedalus. Being one of the few SRP's currently being run, Klaw puts alot of effort into both the plot and the map to create an enjoyable experience set in an interesting period in Trek history. He really sets the correct tone and feel for the time period and his pre- and inter-episode highlights are very good. Furthermore, I applaud his daring aproach of running an SRP in which episodes can sometimes be spaced months apart. This can make it harder to follow the story at times, but does provide a nice chance of pace from the more linear SRP's we've had in the past and creates a good oppertunity for viewing the broader picture and see the long-term effects of actions played out in the Trek universe.

A round of applause to all those promoted, and congratulations to Klaw on the Picard Command Cross. It is well deserved.
