First of all: happy 13th birthday, NSTG! We were founded on January 4th, 2005. Though it has changed in so many ways, our community is still as vibrant and diverse as ever -- and for that, I am supremely grateful.
It is in that spirit that we are now accepting nominations for the 8th Annual NSTG Awards; the Ceremony where we'll announce the finalists and winners will take place on Friday, January 19th. (More details to come!)
If you'd like to nominate an exceptional friend or acquaintance -- or even yourself! -- for the NSTG Awards, fill out this form as many times as you want before midnight CST on Saturday, January 13th.
You can learn more about this process in this thread, which will remain at the top of the guild's main subforum until the start of Spirit Week 2k18!

TGIF, everybody! I've got two Awards-related requests coming your way:
You've got about twenty-four more hours to nominate exceptional NSTGers -- or even yourself! -- for the NSTG Awards! Fill out this form as many times as you want before tomorrow, January 13th at midnight CST. You can learn more about this process in this thread.
Vote for 2018's Crewmember of the Year before noon CST on Thursday, January 18th!

Click the banner above to celebrate our guild's community in our 8th Annual Spirit Week! We've got tons planned for you during this short (but delightful) event, including:
I am so excited to announce that, with your help and brainstorming, we are finally able to debut a project that's been in the works since 2017! We hope to see it generate active participation for months and years to come. February's RNG is easy, fun, and boasts 10,000p in prizes. Without further ado:

gaia_sakura A guild-wide Easter egg hunt, gaia_sakura Two contests, three games, and a quiz, gaia_sakura A raffle for an Ancient Katana (100p/ticket), gaia_sakura A benevolent (but swift) Fairy on the loose, gaia_sakura And all of your NSTG friends in sleek ninja attire!
Click the banner above to visit the Holiday Events subforum, where the event is taking place, but before starting your Easter assignment, visit the Front Desk and read through the event's rules and directory. Do your cardio; eat Peeps; stay sexy.
