FNORD Awards/2024

Chairwoman's notes

Hey all, it might seem a bit early to start planning the FNORDS for 2024, but I want to open nominations now already because we could otherwise forget all the magical things that have happened throughout the year. So please nominate throughout the year, from this moment until the last day of December. -xx- Annna (talk) 12:55, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Nominations

I will ask for nominations for any of the old categories or any new categories. Please include links (where appropriate) for any references, please also include motivations. Also, when you nominate, please sign four tildes in a row (~~~~). Nominate away!

Conflict Resolution

• The Imperial Republic of Shireroth and the Confoederatio Aemilia for their peaceful resolution of a simmering demographic conflict in Alrig, resolved through a peaceful referendum. Annna (talk) 08:11, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
• Both Eds for resolving a potential conflict in Eura and their joint efforts to make WMDs a thing of the past. EF2000 13:16, 31st December 2024

Cultural Development

• Last year she received many, but Annna continues to have the best branding of any nation on Micras with Confoederatio Aemilia. No other nation can so instantly be recognized by just one color. James E Wilary (talk) 01:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Annna for her development of the Aemilian Federation, Murder,... (including its nifty map, [1])-Jonas Windsor (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
• Jonas, for everything in Shireroth. – Ric (talk) 12:13, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
• Bijaro, fo his work on Flora and fauna of the Strait of Haifa. -Jonas Windsor (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
• Edgard for his work on Nouvelle Alexandrie. The page about Aurelia is a great example of cultural development, combined with nice pictures. -Jonas Windsor (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Journalism

• The Isabella Valentina Show by Edgard for their funny approach to gossip journalism, which is delightfully campy. Annna (talk) 11:04, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Seconded! The whole chicha press is just great fun! Mondo (talk) 13:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

'Tis But a Flesh Wound

• Calbion, especially Ric's article the Fall of Calbion. It's a great extensive work on the disintegration of the nation after the primary caretaker, Jack, left the community and gave control to Ric. I really appreciate it how the nation doesn't just cease to exist, but goes out with a massive bang. Annna (talk) 12:58, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Seconded if, as it now seems, Calbion will largely survive much as it was before. 😏 Continuator (talk) 11:12, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
• Ashinthael, for being destroyed by a bunch of bat-winged rabbits. Not the most impressive way to go out, but memorable for sure.
• Barnaby for graciously ending his tenure as AdGen of the MCS [2]. -Jonas Windsor (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
• Ardy, Jonas and Salome for plunging the Benacian Union and Shireroth into a neverending war and ignoring it is even happening half of the time. -Jonas Windsor (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Nomination declined. Continuator (talk) 14:06, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
