On Thursday, the Hypogeum, a group created to select Nobel Peace Prize winners [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-390402.html]announced the winners[/a] after a long wait. It was announced [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-247962.html]two months ago[/a], and they planned to give out the prize every two weeks. However, the plans had changed due to time issues. Said josefstark:

"Since noone had done this before.. it was hard to estimate the time it would take, id didn't take two weeks... two months of hard work and organizing both the awards and the banquette gave proof to that, but now that we have a sort of routine i guess work will be little easier"



As the doors to the grand banquet hall opened to me, there were four men there: josefstark, Carradine, Hador, and the mysterious Q. I was greeted warmly and told that drinks wouldn't be served until the guests of honor arrived. Later on, aryamehr and Grev Per showed up. Per was simply dropping off the speech he had prepared, as he had a plane to catch.

After a long wait, watching people from all over the world trickle in and out, and after having a few side conversations, the winners started to appear, the food and drinks were passed out, and the speeches could be read.



First, Josef Stark read two written speeches from the people who couldn't make it.

Misho, who won the honarary awar😛
Mr President, members of the Hypogeum, Citizens of Erepublik, ladies and gentlemen!
It's a great honour to be rewarded this Prize. Josef said, "Don't let the fire die, inspire others!" and this prize sure puts more fuel to that fire!

Erepublik is said to be a sand box, it becomes what you decide to do with it. At the moment I think it's a huge sand box with very few tools in it. Ladies and gentlemen, we are on a walk in the desert! But I do belive that Erepublik.com will manage to land this project, they have already attracted investors and both Alexis Bonte the CEO and George Lemnaru Co-Founder have hinted of very interesting future content that points toward a much more challenging game. Of course it will be more fun with swimmingpools and sandbugs in the desert! So, click twice to at least survive!

The survival of the fittest works here in Erepublik aswell, work together, find new ways to co-operate. Think of real life organisations and how they could be implemented here in erepublik.

The Noble Prize ia s living example of it! But what about secret societies like The Freemasonry, what could Svenska Frimurar Orden be in this game..? Or the Royal Famlily? Sweden is a Constitutional monarchy right..?

Last week I visited a real life meeting in Stockholm, it was great fun to sit down and talk face to face with Flammbar, Cinc, Carradine and BetaMjau. I'm sure it wasn't the last time.

Continue to walk in the desert and continue to think outside the sand box, you inspire me!

Thanks again!

Then the one from Grev Per, winner of the Media Prize:
Dear audience,
It is my utmost pleasure to accept the Nobel Peace Prize for Media Achievement. I would like to also congratulate the nobel prize winners in the other categories are also well deserving of their recognition.

It is a fine idea this one, rewarding positive and active involvement in this game. Without events like this one this game has next to nothing. In which case the Hypogeum should also be recognized for their outstanding work and the great idea that this was.

I would like to add a political comment on my own amusement. The fact that I, an enemy of the Swedish state and nation, have won the award for oustanding achievement. The fact that the war-mongering nation of Sweden has no candidates for the Peace Prize. These are also signs of the cultural depravity that is E-Sweden. A nation of 2000 people has barely enough players to fill in the award categories. What does that tell us?

Well, I am honored and will gladly accept the Swedish states money. I'm sorry I missed the ceremony. It was my intent to make it, and I am sure I would"ve enjoyed myself, however this unfortunately was a busy weekend.

It is my sincere hope that I will be able to attend the next event and the following events as simply a guest.

Then, the winners who made it to the event gave their speeches. First, Alleus, who won the Economic Prize:
My ladies, gentlemen and Carradine!

I am as thankful to this prize as I am surprised.It's a great honor to recieve such a prize like this.

I'm struggling for a better eRepublik in an economically way, and I hope this struggle will spread on all of you.

I firstly want to thank the swedish government for allowing me to do these crazy ideas.I also want to thank Kaleb who has been one of my idols since I started playing in december 2007. I really dont know what to do with the money, but they will probably go to buy food for the SO's. 🙂 Finally, a BIG thanks to all of you who have come to listen to me tonight.

Cheers Alleus

Ziggyzag , winner of the Politics prize was announced by Josef:
josefstark: Now, for the winner of political prize... eSweden's e😜resident: Ziggyzag!

Ziggyzag: Thank you very much! 🙂

As I said I havent prepared a speech and would just like to say a few words

When I started playing Erepublik in late December I had no idea that I would get so hocked on it. I started as a businessman together with 3 other friends, Lame (nowadays a big shot entreaprenuer) being one of them. Later on I started the newspaper "Arbetet". Loved to write.

Sweden was blossoming, and we were taking our forst trembling steps. Erepublik was unexplored. Carradine was the President. Doing a great job also, at that time the congress wasnt as established as it was now. erepublik.se wasnt "alive". When he decided to step off Highwon showed interest for the role as President, so did I. I didnt have any plans for being President, but I ran for office and decided to do my absolute best. I believe that for the first time the congress was of help for the president. The earlier presidents had a hard work doing everything on their own. On my 2 mandates I had a lot of help! And I am very grateful

There are a few people I would like to dedicate this prize to

Ettan, Hydrapunk and Lahitraho. There arent with us as much as the once were, but they arent forgotten!

Thank you very much for this prize!

*Takes a bow and goes back to my seat with a smile on my face 🙂

Then [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-235161.html]Mentor Sverige[/a] for the Society Prize:
josefstark: Ok.. we actually have Vectoor here, from mentor sweden, he is from Mentor Sverige an he will speak in their behalf

I would like to say thank you, on behalf of the organisation Mentor Sverige; Radium Hill, Superganja, Gustavus Adolphus, Bartender, pho3nix and me. We all work hard to give guidance to new players. Radium hill deserves special thanks, he started the organisation, and he was the most active of us. He was the one who recruited me in the first place. Radium hill was actually almost like a mentor to me

As you can probably see, I am improvising here, and speeches isn't really my strong side

zentz also deserves mentioning, Unfortunately, he died not long ago, but he will live on, in the erep database and IRL

I should also mention Ziggyzag, who always supproted us, even when we were a bit inactive

We always only wanted to help others, and the prize money will be used for this

Thank you

By that time, the wine had been passed around(somebody snuck in beer, oh my!), and apparently some people were having drinking contests.....so when josefstark stepped on the platform to say a few words, he was fairly soake😛
*Hick*

Ladies, gentlemen... Carradine!

I am honoured to have you all here, and I hope that you have all have enjoyed it so far, the wine and the food (gifts) and the speeches.

Especially the wine *hick*

Now I will pay my thanks to all of you who have made this into what it is.

First and foremost, a very special thanks to all the members of Hypogeum, Mombassa, OttoAntid, Algaroth, mr Knall and mr Bang. All of them great men that deserves respect.

*hick*

And then I would like to pay thanks to all of you who showed up here, all of you who followed me through this. Thanks!

The Gifts you all have received is sort of a token of my gratitude you could say(Gift in swedish means poison by the way 😁)

Also, thanks to carradine for moderating like the nice child he is, easy as Sunday morning. 😃

Now, you may all wonder: What will happen with the nobel prize?

And I can only say that the fun has only begun. Shortly after the first announcement the admin told me of his interest along with Zhunge Liang.

Zhnge was very interested in doing an international Nobel Prize with me and the admin wanted to sponsor us with gold.

So what can I say, you have not seen the last of this event. Thanks to all of you!

Now if you may I have to dance with Betamjau!

---

After the announcement of the international Nobel Prize, I hurried to josef as he finished his dance. When I asked him about it, he told let me read a message from Zhung Liang:
"Hi, I have talk about the international award idea with Cristesco (admin). We think it"s a great idea, and he (Cristesco) want to donate some Gold for the project, but I told him to wait until I have talked with you."

As for himself, josef said, "My plan is to extend The Swedish Nobel Prize and simply do The Nobel Prize"

I bid him adeu and let him get back to his partying, because after that stunning announcement about the international prize, the baquet hall started to party. And party hard. As for me, I pulled josef aside for a few words, picket a moving ticket, hopped on a plane home, pulled out me lap top, and got to work.

All that's left to do is to see what becomes of the Nobel Prize in the future.
