{{ | {{Citation|The B-Plot Award|240106.30|[[USS Octavia E Butler]]|'''The B-Plot Award is awarded to simmers who, despite the demands of the core storyline, illustrate a substantial portion of the character's life. Their sims convey the journey of their character while bringing their fellow crew members along for the ride, allowing for collaboration and making their world feel as though their fellow writers are a part of it.''' Tom's ability to weave a rich tapestry of Lhandon's life beyond his duty post has been remarkable! He has skillfully portrayed Lhandon's virtues, flaws, ambitions, and (most recently) his romantic life, giving us a well-rounded character who feels alive. Tom's dedication to developing not only Lhandon, but also his other characters, demonstrates well his commitment to collaborative storytelling. His consistent high-quality sims and his knack for always plotting new adventures make him a deserving recipient of this award. Well done, Tom! }} | ||
{{Citation|The Sheathed Sword|240106.30|[[USS Octavia E Butler]]|'''The Sheathed Sword is awarded to individuals who choose to inflict mental and/or physical suffering on their character, then dig into the following feelings and decisions in a realistic manner. The term is derived from a passage in a Robert Jordan novel in which a warrior must be prepared to 'sheath the sword' in their own body, i.e. incur a painful wound to attain one's objective (in this case, more realistic simming) rather than a genuine aim of the character. ''' Tom's willingness to put Lhandon through significant mental and physical challenges is probably second to none -- Tom loves torturing him! However, this year's nominators specifically called out the mission at Alpha Brenkelvi and its aftermath, in which Tom deftly explored Lhandon's mind-body split and subsequent recovery. This showcased the care and commitment Tom puts in to ensuring Lhandon's realistic character development. His exploration of the aftermath, including Lhandon's struggles with basic functions, demonstrates Tom's dedication to portraying the consequences of such events realistically (or, you know, as realistic as can be...). I'm forever looking forward to seeing what Tom does next! }} | |||
