It was a difficult choice and all those that are nominated are winners in our eyes but here are your Celestial Fleet Award winners for the Month of May. Congratulations to all of you, you make your ships and your fleet very proud of you all.

Best Character Development: Theresa who plays Head of Requistions
Lt. First Class Alexia Withermore of the USS Hawk. We choose her
because the character was nothing when it started out. Barely a history,
no prescence or personality. This was her first game, and her first real
character. She had never done anything like RPG or PBeM before and
she was brand new to writing in general. She took the character and
over time developed her into an intrical part of the crew, she just
miscarried a baby, and developed relationships-personal and friend
wise with many key characters.
Best Forwarding of Mission: Theresa for her character of 2nd Officer/Chief of Operations Lt. Commander Stephanie CarrMicheal. We had a player leave the game without warning which threw everything into a mess, and she picked right up, and took control through her character moving the mission along as though it had never happened.
Best Overall Post: Matt who plays Chief of Flight Operations Commander Ruhl "Flashheart" Kodar of the USS Raptor. Hmm, Ohh my God, was all I could say when I seen this post. Just an overall amazing post. We always knew Matt was good, but we did not know just how good until we seen this post. This was his introduction post to the game, and although he should get the nominee for Rookie, he is no rookie in our eyes.
Best Use of Other Characters: Captain Ace Decade of the USS Liberty. Ace was chosen because he tries to encorporate each and every character in all the post he does.
Most Improved Poster: Lieutenant J.G. Scott McInnis of the USS Griffin. The entire crew of the Griffin is impressed with McInnis's come back. He had stopped posting for so long that his character had been declared killable. But before posting got back aorund to the Captain, who would have had the character killed, he began to pull himself up from the boot straps and over the course of May made an incrediable turnaround. Not only did he post everytime his turn came around, he joined in on two other crew memebers' posts. And his posts weren't simply "Hi, I'm still alive and here" type stuff, they contained plot twisting or forwarding of story and excellent character development for his own character. In merely one month McInnis turned himself into the kind of poster anyone would be more than happy to have on their ship.
Most Valuable Poster: Lieutenant Commander Ryan Sable of the USS Griffin. We would have had no mission this month without her. We tried a character history episode, and she not only rose to the challenge, she surpassed it. She set the story in motion and explained things both through her posts and in a "story background info" e-mail for those who didn't know or understand what was going on. She was consistantly available to help others with their posts. She also managed to do character development and some plot forwarding in most everything she wrote. All her efforts in good posting have helped make May one of the Griffin's top three months since we started.
Recruitment Award: Walt of the USS Hawk/Raptor. Walt has since left the game. His life has gotten the better of him, but we would not feel right nominating anyone but him. He went above and beyond as a player recruiting for the group. He even made a web site for us during his time with the game.
Rookie of the Month: Todd for Chief of Tatical Lt. First Class Loren Putski of the USS Raptor. Todd, always makes a splash in whatever group he joins. There is a lot to know about the Hawk and the Raptor history, and he aquainted himself with it and then asked any questions he needed to before he posted his intro. He did a wonderful job the entire month, moving along well with the group as he intregrated his character into the game.

Ace Decade's Real Talk-
A new monthly segment to the Celestial Fleet newsletter is Ace Decade's Real Talk. Ace will be talking to members of the fleet about simming. His first interview starting the month of June is with...himself...Ace Decade. He will ask the tough questions, and give new insight into the world of simming from the players themselves. We all look forward to his interview with himself in June, and all interviews to follow.
The USS Hawk Anniversary-
The USS Hawk Celebrates it's one year anniversary at yahoo groups. Although yahoo can be a pain in the backside they have done well by The USS Hawk over the past year and on the 18th of June they will celebrate their 1 year anniversary. The game itself is going on its 5th year, and although it is now housed at yahoo the legacy of the game lives on. There are only 2 orginal members still about in the game and out of its current roster the group has flurished averaging just for the month of May alone a wopping 620 post. We wish them continued successful simming, and congratulate them on thier coming anniversary.
