Gold USS Merlin, TF72 I am beyond proud to nominate the USS Merlin for the award this month. Once again, they have shown what a crew working together can achieve. Earlier in the month, the Commanding Officer was appointed as Senior Ship Commanding Officer, but that didn’t stop him from posting, and being even more active, taking a great approach to talk to the Commanding Officers in the Task Group to get some ideas flowing and most of the Commanding Officers have really appreciated the extra set of eyes on their website and what they are doing. On the USS Merlin, he challenged his crew to reach 90 “quality” posts over the month, and even with a bandwidth issue and a change of website, they were still able to not just reach that goal (with time to spare), but even that didn’t stop them, reaching 98 posts, and I took the time to read some of those posts, and they are of the best quality, they aren’t just a couple of one-liners to post out to boost the numbers, they are pure quality writing from crewmember after crewmember, and a lot of them are joint posts, showing me that this crew has a sense of family, respect and most importantly; teamwork. They are the epitome of what we should all be looking at for our simulations, and they should all be proud of what they have achieved in four short months that they have been part of Obsidian Fleet! Well done USS Merlin crew! Submitted by: Commodore Harrison, Ph.D. TGCO 72-B |

Outstanding Commanding Officer Award Awarded Tuesday 8 November 2016 @ 05:49 Nominated by Captain John "Apollo" Barstow, M.D. |
Barstow has been the driving force behind the Merlin since the beginning. He has brought the crew together both in and out of character and encouraged and helped each member of the crew. He also listens and takes onboard ideas and suggestions to help keep the Merlin going from strength to strength. Andrew is also the glue that keeps us all together.

The USS Merlin has been an oak for TG72B during the transition of a new TGCO coming in. Captain Barstow has managed to keep up with his duties as SSCO and still motivate his crew to put up great numbers and quality posts. I have been impressed with the resilience of Captain Barstow and his crew. Keep up the great work! Nominated by: RA Hurin, TF72-CO |

USS Merlin: “Commander Barstow has done phenomenally this month, getting his post count way up there with the likes of Archimedes and Pioneer in previous months. He runs a tight ship with some really fun plots, and it’s with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to not only award his sim with the silver UoM but also announce his promotion to Captain. Well done.” (Rear Admiral Oliver Lancaster, TFCO, TF47) |

Crews Choice Award Awarded Saturday 1 December 2018 @ 10:38 Nominated by Commander Save'ena (Sav) Tillatix |
Apollo continues to develop, launch, and oversee plots for the players despite real life creating havoc for him outside of the game. He has allowed unusual player characters on board as long as they are not going overboard and bring something of interest to his sim. And, he runs his character and NPC's according to how the players are throwing monkey wrenches into his timely, thought-out, outlines for the current game running. No one can ask for a better GM and Captain than that. So, Hurrah, may this award show you that your job, no matter how many times you have thought it thankless, is actually appreciated by those who have joined your Sim. |
