Out Of Character Awards

Award		Reason
	Meritorious Newcomer of the Month Award Awarded 13 Dec 2013 @ 11:53am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Although he has only been aboard the ship for a little over a week, Olsam has already become active and engaged with the crew. His three posts set on Earth have been a joy to read and show great character development, and the Bolian is a very fun and complex character. I can't wait to see how he fits in with the rest of the crew during shore leave.

	Crew's Choice Award Awarded 05 Jan 2014 @ 3:53pm Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	A wonderful month of writing has shown a lot of great character development and character interaction between Olsam while he awaited Galileo's arrival on Earth. The character is very fun to read and very three-dimensional, and reading his posts makes me want to know more about the Bolian.

	Crew's Choice Award Awarded 06 Feb 2014 @ 11:21am Nominated by Ensign K'os Beaumont	I think his character Dr. Mott is genuine and well written and I'm enjoying reading about the friendship between him and Miir. OCC I think he does a good job at jumping at tags or moving jps along.

	DeForest Kelley Humour Award Awarded 09 Mar 2014 @ 9:28am Nominated by Ensign K'os Beaumont	His interactions with other characters are always a delight to read. I especially enjoyed The New Family posted on Feb 17 where he interacts with Teth Mirr's sister. I also very much enjoyed the JP with Allyndra in the post Here Be Dragons, Mott is such a funny character. When he screams as Allyndra enters that secret room made me laugh. I can really picture this Bolian fully in my mind.
	Departmental Service Badge: Service Awarded 09 Mar 2014 @ 9:32am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	From Asahi Kita: Stepping up and helping out with the room assignments on an extremely large and ever-changing vessel full of nutjobs is definitely deserving of an award! :3

	Outstanding Volunteer Award Awarded 09 Mar 2014 @ 10:09am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Mott has been amazing this month and has put in many hours of OOC work to help the command staff when we were busy and bogged down. His contributions to the sim have been excellent, and I am privileged to be able to work with him.

	Crew's Choice Award Awarded 10 Sep 2014 @ 1:54pm Nominated by Commander Norvi Stace	Bryan's character brings such a detailed and unique point of view to the sim. I love writing with him and find his posts enjoyable to read.
	Patterson Ribbon of Excellence Awarded 06 Nov 2014 @ 2:01am Nominated by Commander Scarlet Blake	For Mott's excellent writing with Mialin's unique medical condition on the return from the Cardassian Mines. There was a great balance between writing for drama and in depth, medical theory and ideas. It was a very good section of treatment/writing and very creative yet medically grounded in how it developed and unfolded in the drama. It was both unique and excellently handled.
	Non-Player Character Award Awarded 06 Nov 2014 @ 2:24am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Awarded for the fun and successful portrayal of colonist Kamar Trisad.

	Merit of Time Served Awarded 14 Dec 2014 @ 5:33pm Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Awarded for one year of service aboard Galileo.
	Crew's Choice Award Awarded 14 Dec 2014 @ 5:39pm Nominated by Lieutenant Elijah Williams IV, M.Sc.	I would like to nominate Bryan for this award. He brings so much to the Galileo IC and OOC. The characters he creates are so diverse and believable and his writing is excellent. He is easy to write with and is just a fun guy to converse with. The character Mott is one of the best representations of Bolians that I have ever seen and I think Bryan's good nature combined with his writing skills really brings the Mott character to life. OOC, Bryan helps develop subplots and throws in suggestions and is always ready to work on a joint post.
	Crew's Choice Award Awarded 18 Feb 2015 @ 5:43am	Quite simple: no-one writes a Bolian as Bryan does...and he does it with flair and a great dosis of Humour. Whatever he writes with Mott, I end up having a laugh. He's an awesome writer.
	Captain's Personal Merit Awarded 05 Sep 2015 @ 6:59pm Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	If anyone is deserving of this award, it's Mott who has exemplified both IC and OOC what it means to be a great simmer. All around from start to finish, the character and the writer are superb and one of a kind. Keep up the great work!
	Most Improved Player of the Month Awarded 05 Sep 2015 @ 6:59pm Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	I'm not sure if it's possible for Mott to be an even better writer than he already is, but he really flourished and came alive during the month of July in the middle of our battle sequences. His unorthodox methods of thinking and ability to get the job done under any circumstances are simply amazing, and he's set a benchmark for the rest of us.
	Community Builder Citation Awarded 05 Sep 2015 @ 7:00pm Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award for their efforts over the past several months. Mott is such a fantastic writer IC, and an even better friend OOC. He works very hard to be approachable and friendly with his interactions, and he's a fine model of what a simmer should be.
	Tour of Duty: Klingon Awarded 05 Sep 2015 @ 7:01pm Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Awarded for participation in EP 08 NIMBUS.
	Tour of Duty: Mirror Universe Awarded 19 Feb 2016 @ 9:53am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Awarded for completion of Episode 09 - Empires.
	Gold Service Merit Awarded 19 Feb 2016 @ 10:04am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Awarded for two years of service aboard Galileo.
	Antagonist Award Awarded 19 Feb 2016 @ 10:52am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	Awarded for successful portrayal of a Mirror Universe villain, Alax Elrin.
	Character of the Year Awarded 09 Mar 2016 @ 5:20am Nominated by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm	I would like to nominate Bryan’s character, Olsam Mott ( http://stgalileo.com/index.php/personnel/character/216 ) from the USS Galileo simulation, for Character of the Year. Mott has put out more than a 180 posts with this character since November 2013, and when you read his character interactions with others you can really see the level of complexity and thoughtfulness that goes into staying true to the character's personality. What makes reading an Olsam Mott post or interaction so entertaining is the effort put into the humour and comic relief aspect that has come to make Mott a valued addition to the Galileo cast. Mott is your typical intelligent idiot trope, along the lines of a Bolian Columbo, if Columbo were a doctor. What sets this character apart from other comic relief characters is how Bryan is able to capture the absurd and turn it into a progressive plot development that keeps you reading the post. There are times when writing a joint post with Mott where one finds themselves literally laughing out loud by the cleverly delivered tag that gets sent back to you. You never know what Mott will say, and when he does say something you can always be assured that it’s within the scope of the characters personality. Mott has a unique voice, and Bryan does a great job at staying true to it. When you contrast Mott with Bryan’s NPCs the Mott personality is really highlighted. I’ve been on many sims in Obsidian Fleet since 2003 and I have never come across another character like him. From an out of character perspective, Bryan/Mott has always been very open and receptive to joint posts and works hard to include new people to the sim. He has taken on several OOC projects on the sim, including helping with crew quarters assignments and helping with subplot implementation. Mott is a very well-liked character, but more importantly, Bryan is a well-liked writer and he has made a mark on the sim through his OOC chats with the other writers. Especially those new to the sim. Some of my favourite Mott moments have been when he made the XO, Norvi Stace pretend to be his wife when his family visited; when he participated in a holodeck simulation, Motti Malone, based on the old black & white detective movies of the 20s-40s; or when Mott was convinced the mayor of his hometown in France was trying to off him due to the pies he made; or the tumultuous relationship Mott has to the EMH, Shirley. In a nutshell, this endearing portly character has made an impact on Galileo both IC and OOC and every time I see a Mott post come up I read it with enthusiasm. As characters go, I believe Mott’s unique personality and charming portrayal, is most definitely Character of the Year quality. Though, knowing Mott, he would humbly -- if not readily -- accept a ham sandwich rather than the accolades.
