Silver Palm
|
239806.22
USS Resolution
|
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.
Throughout our entire time on the Resolution, Yalu has contributed both IC and OOC things that have enriched our stories and made our days better. Be it comments on Discord, the posts made on the forums, or things we find in sim, he adds depth to our journey, invites us to come along on his, and always has something unique and interesting to add. To that end, I’d also like to take this moment to announce that Justin has been offered, and has accepted a position on the Resolution’s Staff.

B-Plot Award
|
239806.22
USS Resolution
|
Awarded to those simmers who manage to show a good portion of the character's life despite the demands of the main plot.
While we knew little about Yalu’s past lives in the beginning, Justin has taken us on a journey that has spanned each of those lives and shown us much of the background of the character without ever leaving gaps in the mission itself. Not only did he did this, but he also did so in a way that involved a large portion of the crew and in a seamless manner worthy of awe.

Khan Award
|
239806.22
USS Resolution
|
Awarded to a simmer who thoughtfully develops a three-dimensional villain over the course of a mission or more.
Yalu has presented us with a number of MSNPCs and PNPCs that are far more than two dimensional and which offer something different in each of them. When presented with the ‘bad guy’, his responses are characters who make us wonder if they really are bad, or simply misunderstood. These characters are memorable and have become solid, permanent fixtures in the fabric of the story we weave. They provide depth without which the story would be often flat and nowhere near as invigorating.

Combs Cross
|
239906.27
USS Excalibur-A
|
Awarded to individuals who bring their ships to life with well-rounded PNPCs, enhancing plots and character development, without detracting from the main story and characters of the sim.
It can be sometimes difficult to find the line between too much and just enough when it comes to adding depth through the use of PNPCs, so to have such talent aboard the Excalibur makes me feel incredibly lucky. Even among such talent, we do have one player who consistently delivers when it comes to these additions to the crew and the story. Our 'guest star of a thousand faces', this player has stepped into many roles, and with each one brings a realistic and dramatic faucet of the story, while also injecting humor. For that, and so much more, I am more than pleased to present the Combs Cross to Justin, the writer of Yogan Yalu and so many other memorable characters along the way.

O'Brien Award
|
239906.27
USS Excalibur-A
|
Awarded to individuals with the rank of Lieutenant or Lieutenant Commander who assist the ship's command staff by mentoring crew, arranging missions, updating the wiki, and performing other activities critical to the successful operation of our sims.
Over the course of the last year, he has done everything from mentoring, setting up missions, helping with the wiki and our tracking spreadsheets, and so much more that has made this ship and our game so much more enjoyable than I have ever known it to be. Without him, I don't think we would be able to take away so many positive times and memories, all while doing so in an environment where everything functions incredibly smoothly and without any outwardly visible hiccups. Like Chief O'Brien, for whom the award is named for, Justin keeps things running even when chaos strikes and things get sideways. He's always got something new and entertaining, as well as inspiring and attentive, hiding just around the bend.
