Popular Post Jo Marshall Posted July 4, 2023 Popular Post Posted July 4, 2023 Greetings and welcome to the 2023 (2400) Fleetwide Awards Ceremony! Welcome, welcome to StarBase 118's biggest week of the year! And let me tell you, it's been quite a while since we had a week this exciting. It's like the Super Bowl of our community, but with less tackling and more typing. We've got two wonderfully British hosts adding a touch of glamour and excitement to the festivities. They're so British, they can have a full-blown conversation about the weather in the middle of a crisis. Crumpets, tea, and all. There are five categories of awards: General Awards (which some ships have already given to their crews!), Duty Post, Special Awards, and Staff Awards, which recognise players of all ranks for a variety of accomplishments. We also reward membership lengths of one, three, five, ten, fifteen, and even twenty-five years in the member Length of Service Awards! A tremendous number of simmers among us have been around for such a long time, they remember the days when dial-up internet was considered high-speed. As the facilitators this year, we just have to give a big shout-out to all the amazing folks who took the time to submit nominations. Reading through all the kind ways we appreciate one another's contributions was like diving into a treasure trove of awesomeness. It's mind-blowing to see how you all lift each other up, spinning those incredible narratives and showing the world what our community is made of. As we embark on our thirtieth year, and our community is growing and evolving, we want to send a big thank you to our fearless leader, Fleet Admiral Tristan Wolf. This guy is the definition of a hero. He's always there, ready to lend a helping hand, no matter if it's a massive crunch or a tiny hiccup. Leadership in spades. To our Executive Council, Captain's Council, and all the amazing souls leading our taskforces, we can't thank you enough. Your boundless enthusiasm and leadership make sure that we all have a blast, in a safe, creative, and fun environment. So, here's a virtual high-five to each and every one of you. Your presence, your efforts, and your contributions make our community the vibrant and exciting place it is. Keep being awesome, keep shining bright, and let's make this year the best one yet! Now let's raise a virtual glass and toast to StarBase 118's 29th Anniversary. Cheers, and may the warp speed be with you! — Em (Jo Marshall) and Tom (Tomas Falt) 15
