LOTW Resolution #32 Passes

Resolution #32

LOTW votes that players not post in RPEs where they are not rostered. Infractions will be investigated by the Parliament Leader.

The results are 31 in favour, 7 opposed, and 6 abstained. The motion is therefore passed.

Out of our 73 members at the closing of the booth, 44 voters is a 60.27% turnout – a great turnout!

We have seen a great rise in number of players voting at the booth over the last year, now topping off at 44 voters between this election and the previous election. I don’t believe this is the end however. With new efforts in place to increase member awareness of the voting booth and with much encouragement from the COs, we may very well see those numbers improve over the next few elections.

This is great news for the club, a good sign of our ongoing commitment to democracy. The COs have been made aware of their RPE’s individual turnouts. My congratulations to the following:
Bill Greene and The Freedom of Wealth for being the first to hit a 100% turnout this election!
James McGuire and The Queen Elissar, as well as Mike Palmer and The Prinz Eugen for also producing a 100% turnout!
In total, 3 ships have made a 100% turnout and 2 ships were exactly 1 vote away from a 100% turnout – this is an indication of progress and to all the COs, you have my sincerest gratitude for your efforts in making this election a true success!

Allanna Maitland is LOTW's Player of the Moth for February!

Hey folks,

I'm standing in for Ash tonight to announce the Player of the Month for January. With all the excitement of the club wide awards, we didn't want to overlook the people that make the daily expereince here on LOTW so outstanding. The committee was faced with a fine assortment of nominees for this month's award but we had to boil it down to the top names. These illustrious players are:

Samantha Nelson (tpo Aria Qetesi on Akers)
Jon Stapley (tpo Lily Stock and Thaniel Fox on Akers)
Allanna Maitland (tpo Kin Leonardo on FoW)
Nick Buchanan (tpo GM of FoW)

After prolonged deliberation, secret ballots, white smoke and a variety of other top secret election processes, a winner was derived.

With no further ado, I would like to extend a hearty congratualtions to the young pilot and current sweetheart of the Freedom of Wealth, who has really contributed her wit, style and humor to making the Sim environment a better place for all our players, Miss Allanna Maitland!

(Pause for Applause)

Congratulations also to all our nominees. And remember, if you see someone contributing that extra something special tell your CO and have them report that person to our award commitee. They may find their name here next month!

Congratulations all!

-Kevin

Michael Parks becomes Acting CO of SGU-3

Appointment #63

Once again SGU-3 has fallen to way side. Unfortunately, the team's CO, Daniel Taylor has informed us that he no longer wishes to command SGU-3. It has fallen to MIlitary Command to search and find a new CO for the beleaguered team.

Fortunately, we did not have to look far. SGU-3's current Second-in-Command, Michael Parks, was asked and had agreed to take command of SGU-3.

So it is with great pleasure that we place Michael Parks as the Acting CO of SGU-3.
