{{Template:Awards}}
'''Badges''' are similar to our [[List of Awards|Community Awards]] in that they are awarded for '''out-of-character (OOC)''' participation and achievement. However, while Community Awards are bestowed on a yearly basis in December to recognize long-term achievement and outstanding performance among a peer-group, badges are reserved for incremental achievements or singular contest wins.

==IC vs. OOC==
The difference between '''[[List of Awards|Awards]], Badges, and [[Service Ribbons]]''':
* '''Awards''' and '''Badges''': Presented for OOC accomplishments by an individual ''simmer/writer''. [[List of Awards|Awards]] and badges can be displayed on any and all characters' pages of that simmer/writer.
* '''Service Ribbons''': Presented for IC performed by a specific ''character''. Service Ribbons can only be displayed on that specific character's page.

==Multiple Citations Policy==
Badges may be awarded multiple times. A '''gold tip''' represents each repeated citation, and a '''silver tip''' represents five additional citations (and therefore five gold tips).

==Levels of Badges==
In 2393, the Captains Council instituted a badge level to denote the level and importance of badges that stand out as more unique than others as a way to recognize achievements that go above and beyond or a unique event or situation. These levels are:
