Over the summer we revamped our awards system. I have had this project on my heart since 2020, but couldn’t get traction on it while other life things cropped up. When I shared the project with David a few months ago, he got my gears turning again and his genuinely high energy interest in helping to reorganize, rename, rewrite the old ribbon descriptions revitalized me and propelled the project ahead as I took advantage of summer holiday availability and a blank check from Sep to create the new awards. The results became a true joint effort and the new awards system owes a great deal to David’s organizational vision, communication skills, and creative talents. And now we get to enjoy the results! From the bottom of my heart, thank you David.

Polar has been a big help in maintaining the monthly post summaries, helping to fill out the brief descriptions of each post, so we always have an easy reference to look back on! Thanks to his jumping in to assist with this, we have not had a lapse on any of the summaries. Polar has also helped to compose two FAQ wiki entries and maintain wiki reference content. He championed a move to run some ongoing mission locations in the Nova system, and he’s proactive in engaging the other writers and onboarding when we have new players. Basically if there’s something that he sees needs doing, he’s probably already on it. (nominated by Nikki)

When we started doing the sim’s monthly reports as our own news items, our sim activity was a little slower and there wasn’t always very much to the reports. But as the sim has grown with new players and new activity, keeping up with the monthly reports has been something difficult for just one person to do! Thankfully there have been those who have come along to help make sure their fellow players’ best work is featured and awarded. Spiral is one of the most faithful to regularly send in quotes to highlight, posts to feature, and award nominations to consider. This effort is much appreciated across the sim, and I believe a vital piece of our shared motivation as writers. Thank you, Spiral! (nominated by GM team)
