Congrats @RedTemplar for the reasons stated in the other award thread, an unremarked upon advantage of a double award is it allows more efficient congrating.

And indeed, it is time to pass on the award, and I've chosen to acknowledge @Macavity116 for a lovely Stellaris project, Unsung Paragons of the Forgotten War.
I do love a good Stellaris story, and I definitely have to commend not only the writing, but the accompanying graphical work as well! Please do give it a read, and congratulate this week's honoree!

Congrats to @Macavity116 . Another award for the Signalman! Although I haven't jumped into the new AAR yet, does @RedTemplar know what Macavity's promise is usually when he wins one of these?

Congratulations @Macavity116
To cover the absence of suitable words, here is what Microsoft Designer AI did with the prompt "Stellaris Deep Space Incest"
I'm mildly surprised "incest" got past the filters, but perhaps even AI knows something are just innate to Stellaris.

However, I must note here that @RedTemplar and his work have the goal of getting to Stellaris but currently the work is firmly situated in Imperator. (Just for the folks who follow the nuances of these nominations.)
Still that scary space beast should be a warning to all!

Oh my gosh! Really!? Thank you @RedTemplar!
Macavity116 after seeing this thread at 8pm on Friday night:
(New Chapter of Unsung Paragons will be coming out as soon as possible, most likely tomorrow afternoon)
Yes, @El Pip, we get up to some crazy Lovecraftian cosmic horror stuff too. Stellaris AARland is one helluva place. Make sure you know where your towel is before you come to visit.
Thanks!

I give it 2 months before someone writes a Stellaris story with this creature as a character. (It does kinda look like a more cuddly version of the Abyssal Horror or the Worm-in-Waiting.To cover the absence of suitable words, here is what Microsoft Designer AI did with the prompt "Stellaris Deep Space Incest"

Many congrats, @Macavity116! While I have not read the work as of yet, I can be assured that it is deserved.
On another note and as somewhat the controller of this particular weekly, I would like to institute a new rule for 2025 and forward. In the past, we have suggested a 6 month gap between wins, I would like to extend that to a full year/12 months. It is not that some recent winners were not worthy. I just believe that we have plenty of folks available to choose from and as stated in the first post - our goal is to spread it around as much as possible.

That sounds fair, or alternatively it could be that one could only win once per calendar year (which doesn't necessarily make it a once per twelve months thing, the person could win it in November one year and August the next for example). But I'd support the once per twelve months rule.

Means the old reliable are done away with early on, every year, and the awards then actually serve their purpose of promoting less 'big' names.

I believe 12 months between wins fair enough. I was just looking back at our recent winners and 4 different recipients got it twice during a 12 month period. I know we have more talent than that (as worthy as those wins were.) Let us spread it around!

I think the suggest of once per calender year is simple and easy to follow, for people looking through for nominations.
Very easy to look at the list and see if they've won in a given year.
