| | '''Awards''' are given in recognition of out-of-character (OOC) achievement. Awards are presented during the annual awards ceremony in June. |
| There are four categories of awards: General Awards, Special Awards, Duty Post Awards, and Staff Awards.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==General Awards==
| | {{Award Categories}} |
| Any member can receive a general award. One general award, per vessel, is allowed per ceremony.
| | {{Awards}} |
| | There are five categories of awards given at three different levels: |
| | * '''Fleet:''' Awarded to one member from the entire fleet. |
| | * '''Ship:''' Awarded to one member per vessel. |
| | * '''Individual:''' Awarded to all eligible members. |
|
| |
|
| * '''The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement First Class (TOSMA I)''': This award is given to members who show great dedication in their behavior, and simming abilities. A candidate for TOSMA I regularly contributes good, solid ideas to the plot and character development. They also take the time to edit and proof-read their sims to ensure quality in their writing.
| | ==IC vs. OOC== |
| * '''The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement Second Class (TOSMA II)''': This award is for members who show a high level of enthusiasm in their writing and plot development. A candidate for the TOMSA II regularly contributes to the plot in solid ways, and helps keep the plot and energy on-board the ship at a high level. | | The difference between awards, badges, service ribbons, pennants, and commemorative coins: |
| * '''The Barclay Bead''': Given to those officers who have improved their methods of simming since their acceptance into StarFleet.
| | * '''[[awards]]''' and '''[[badges]]''': Presented for OOC accomplishments by an individual ''simmer/writer''. Awards and badges can be displayed on any and all characters' pages and the user page of that simmer/writer. |
| * '''The Purple Star''': Given to an officer who shows extreme courage to finish a task/mission after having become injured.
| | * '''[[service ribbons]]''': Presented for IC performed by a specific ''character''. Service ribbons can only be displayed on that ''specific'' character's page. |
| * '''The Scotty Cross''': Given to an officer who shows extreme creativity while solving a dilemma/crisis/major problem. | | * '''[[pennants]]''': Presented for OOC accomplishments by a ''ship/station/installation''. Pennants are displayed on the page of the ship or station itself. |
| * '''The Neelix Award''': For extra, out of character, simming devotion. This includes, helping fellow officers who are in need of simming aid, running OOC sims, upkeep of wiki pages, etc.
| | * '''[[commemorative coins]]''': Presented for OOC accomplishments as a ''fleet''. Coins are displayed on any and all characters' pages and user pages of simmer/writers who were present for the fleetwide accomplishment or event. |
| * '''The Nebula Bar''': Awarded for achievements in exploration. Awarded to a simmer who has shown great imagination when creating new guest races, or expanding on low profile (already discovered) races, or new planets and systems. The recipient will need to have displayed an ability to create a convincing and descriptive, realistic environment/race which inspires other simmers or enhances the flow of a given plot. | |
| * '''The Silver Palm''': Awarded to a simmer who has consistently boosted the morale of his/her crew. The recipient will be known to be able to add that spark to a plot whenever it may be lagging, or may be able to consistently bring enjoyment or a bit of humour to the sim, whilst keeping such sims relevant and realistic.
| |
| * '''The Merria Medallion''': An award for those who excel or contribute considerably to the field of Computer Engineering and Programming. For creative innovators. | |
| * '''The Sheathed Sword''': Presented to those to decide to inflict injury on their character, and then dive into the resulting emotions and choices in a realistic manner. The name comes from line in a Robert Jordan book where a warrior must be prepared to "Sheath the Sword" in his own body, i.e. to take a grievous wound to achieve your goal, in this case more realistic SIMming as opposed to an actual goal of the character like the established award.
| |
| * '''The B-Plot Award''': For those SIMmers who manage to show a good portion of the character's life despite the demands of the main plot.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Special Awards== | | ==Displaying Awards== |
| Any member can receive a special award. However, only one of each award is allowed per ceremony.
| | To easily display awards on a bio or service rack, use '''[[Template:Ribbons]]''' or '''[[Template:Ribbons Rack]]'''. |
|
| |
|
| * '''The Kalendra Award''': Awarded to a simmer who has performed (on more than one occasion) devious, unexpected plot twists. The simmer must have shown an ability to surprise their colleagues with clever plot twists that were relevant and plausible, given a particular plot.
| | To display all of your collected awards and service ribbons in a display case for your bio, use '''[[Template:Ribbons Display]]'''. |
| * '''Sarpeidon Award''': Given to any simmer who has made outstanding contributions to the 118Wiki. Sarpeidon was the world in TOS's "All Our Yesterdays," in which the planet's population created a library containing their entire world's history. This is, in essence, what our wiki strives to become: a collection of our group's history and a simming database.
| |
| * '''Data Artistic Award''': Rewarded to any officer in the fleet who has made a consistent effort to enter each of the bi-monthly writing challenges. Most notably, the officer must have continued participation even if their submissions were not picked as the winner, thus sticking with the challenge and always giving other something exciting to read.
| |
| * '''The Xalor Clan Xifilis Award''': Given to any simmer who overcomes any sort of disadvantage while simming. (e.g. - Rachel Garret was the first female captain: USS Enterprise-C.) This award was originally called the "Rachel Garett Pendant," but was renamed for the 2000 ceremony to to honor a respected SIMmer in UFOP who passed away in that year.
| |
| * '''The Great Bird Award''': This award is the highest honor given to any officer, and as of yet none have been awarded it in the history of the group. It is given to an officer who helps develop and/or invents a new way of simming, a new way of thinking, or a new way of looking at the Star Trek universe.
