End of Year 2022 Award Nominations

Hello everyone

With the ever-changing nature of simming over the last couple of years, the awards have not reflected those changes really until now. The awards have been changed to reflect that we are not just a star trek writing community any longer but as of 11/02/2022 at 11:23 am as I write this we have power rangers, Star gate and a marvel Xmen game among us as well as non-writing games in USS Potemkin which is a play by voice within our more traditional stat trek setting.

Nominations will be open from now until 19:00 GMT on 18th January.

There will be many more changes coming to the awards in February.

To give your nominee the best chance we’ve put together some quick tips on how to write your awards nomination in order to give your nominee the best chance:

  • Don’t be ‘boring’ – we would prefer to read about the specific differences a person has made to the ship, fleet or plot rather than generic phrases such as ‘they’re a really nice person’ ‘behind every great GM there is a greater Asst Gm’ or ‘they’ve made a difference’. How have they made a difference? How have they excelled the plot? How are they unique?
  • Maximum of 150 words. The word limit is there to ensure every one of these receives consideration.
  • Use plain English when writing your nomination.
  • While there is no restriction on the number of nominations, please don’t just copy-and-paste nominations. Duplicates will be removed. If two or more people have done something similar, rather than submitting identical nominations for them you could think carefully about which specific aspects they have outshined in.
  • And finally, make sure you proofread the final version of the nomination as they will be shown to the wider fleet to allow people to vote.

Good luck to everyone
