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.

IC vs. OOC

The difference between awards, badges, and service ribbons:

• awards and badges: Presented for OOC accomplishments by an individual simmer/writer. 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.
