So, Ozu Saya wrote this month's announcement. I'm just posting this on her behalf
Greetings, Frontierians!
We have many announcements this month, so let's dive right in!
First, let's congratulate our Post of the Month winner: Shavan Th'zhaar
There are actually no promotions this month, but keep up the good work! That's just the way it falls sometimes.
Our event and mission are live for February. You can find them below. If you haven't made your choice there's still time! And if you don't have the time to dedicate to one or the other, remember that DTRP-only is also an option. Just sign up under the mission/event announcement.
Event, GMed by Thea Baker: Galaxyvision
Mission, GMed by Judy Eastman and co-GMed by Matt Harmon: Of Ends and Means
Here are our players who have met new posting milestones in the last month! Keep up the awesome writing!

Related to this, we'd like to put out a call for someone who might be willing/able to make some badges for the posting milestones so that you can show them off on your profiles!
The idea we have at this point is the number in a cool font on a neat background. If this is something you'd be interested in doing, ping one or all of the admins and we'll get a group chat going for discussion.
The admins would like to thank everyone who participated in our end-of-year feedback!
Overall the feedback was very positive, but we'd like to address a few specific points below:
Finally, we'd like to address a bit of feedback from when we asked for your input on promoting Judy and Thea. The question was asked whether there would be a second officer position created, either as an NPC or a player promotion. We are still working on this!
Finally, finally, (I mean it this time!) it's almost our one year anniversary!!! If you have any ideas for a celebration, please let us know!

{You can read the winning post by clicking here.}[Lt Shavan Th’zhaar - Main Street, Serenity]
Shavan tilted his antennae forward as he felt a sudden foreboding and sensed something moving in that direction. That was all the warning he got, before a fraction of a second later the raiders ship crashed into the street ready to fire. He didn’t think, just reacted on instinct and ducked for cover behind a low wall, drawing his phaser.
Within seconds, they were surrounded. Shavan froze, a cold, sinking feeling in his gut. He barely registered the exchange between the security officers, the stunned colonists or the click of the phaser’s power dying.
He’d seen this enough times, albeit from the other side, to know what to do without thinking. Just stay quiet and let them have what they wanted. Which was clearly more than just the supplies, but that fact didn't change the immediate situation. As much as he would have loved to vaporize the man in charge, that wasn’t happening. Resistance right now would only make things worse for the colonists.
Slowly, he lowered the weapon.

Overall the feedback was very positive, but we'd like to address a few specific points below:
- Pacing issues - we will try to do better on this.
- We love to see your ideas for missions and events! It was suggested that some of them might work better as DT threads, and we'd love to see more player-run DTs!
- The experimental split-thread format we tried in the December event was deemed successful, though some felt it didn't quite get a fair shake. We are going to be using that format for February's mission to give it a better go. We will likely use this format any time we feel that the storyline would support it.
Finally, we'd like to address a bit of feedback from when we asked for your input on promoting Judy and Thea. The question was asked whether there would be a second officer position created, either as an NPC or a player promotion. We are still working on this!
Finally, finally, (I mean it this time!) it's almost our one year anniversary!!! If you have any ideas for a celebration, please let us know!
