- N Day and Z Day are extremely common and extremely popular events. If we give out awards do everyone in the server, then they’re meaningless. Not to mention, the awards system will get overcomplicated and oversaturated if every active person in TEP adds three ribbons to their signature every year ad infinitum. Operations, on the other hand, are much more (a) impactful on the region’s image/strength, (b) rare and exciting occasions, and (c) limited in personnel.
Awards still serve as great memorablia. I think the concerns of award complication are also pretty overblown, seeing as most people who get an award never put it in their sig.
I don’t think we need to have explicit awards for them, but I do think we should allow Delegates to grant such awards if they feel like it. Especially since it’s been a pretty non-harmful tradition for years (at least, when Delegates feel like giving them out), and I highly doubt they could have any affect on the exclusivity for awards that are never really awarded for those events in the first place
For ribbons, how about “The first ribbon to be announced via Executive Order by the Delegate shall be the permanent ribbon for its associated Executive Honor. If no ribbon exists, the Honor may still be awarded.”
IG, although this seems like a useless walkaround when a straightforward solution exists that you dislike simply for aesthetic reasons.
