Tonight we begin a celebration that honors sixteen years of the NSTG. We endeavor to provide a place for friends to find each other, enjoy each other, win prizes and have tons of fun. Tonight, and for the next 24 hours, we celebrate the past with joy, and continue that tradition into 2021 with hopes for our best year yet!
These are the Opening Ceremonies of the 11th Annual NSTG Awards. The Closing Ceremonies will begin at approximately this same time tomorrow night. In order to make it as accessible to everyone as possible, this thread will remain open for the next 24 hours. Post notes for other members, hearts, whatever, and please come back for the Closing Ceremonies, in this thread, tomorrow night.

I know we all miss Ebania, who's leadership and guidance, grace and compassion have been a blessing to us all. Anyone who joined the NSTG prior to last September, when real life became too busy for her to stay active on Gaia, has fond memories of her influence in the guild and on Gaia. She provided not only a wonderful role model but also a listening ear and an open heart always. For me personally, she also provided a deep friendship, and lots of terrific organizational tools and tips for when I took the reigns of NSTG.
We could not do this without YOU: our most active and loyal members. Whether you’re a bump-a-holic or send trades in silence; whether you compete hard every event or host the occasional charity; whether coming out tonight was easy or it required sacrifice: I sincerely thank you for making this community Gaia’s finest.
Every NSTG Member who will be recognized tonight was nominated, and then voted for by their peers. We are so grateful not only to these exceptional individuals, but to all of you who offer support and care for each other.
Thank you for coming!

Before we begin the presentation of the awards, I'd like to start a PM game that will continue for the next 24 hours or so. wink
Send me, JoyRose, a PM with as many words of 3 letters or more as you can find in "AWARD CEREMONY" and don't stress - you have 24 hours to find them.
I will not count words that show up on at least half of the lists I get. So if you include "award" on your list, it's legit, but if of the, say, 5 responses I get, 3 of you have "award" on your list, it won't count. However, you should put it on your list anyway because otherwise wouldn't it be funny for only one person were to include it while everyone else thought it wouldn't count, only now it does count!
It would make my life easier if you put your words in alphabetical order. but it's not required. heart

Our runner up has been very helpful this past year. They dove right in helping to answer questions, despite being new. They're energetic and helpful. The Newbie Award runner up is Q_who_am_I.
