The Swedish Nobel Prize
Hypogeum
Hello everyone! The long awaited Swedish Nobel Prize is here at last!
This has been a project that we in Hypogeum have worked with and developed since the beginning of May. It was hard work all of the time, and we all had other things running parallel and because of that it was hard finding time to dedicate oneself, but we managed anyway and I think we all can agree that even if it was demanding at times, we had really fun making The Swedish Nobel Prize a reality.
Now, before I proceed onward I would like to pay special thanks to all the members of Hypogeum, I can’t really imagine how this could have been done without you. So, hats off to you!
Here is a little explanation on how The Swedish Nobel Prize works.
It consists of six categories: Society, Economy, Politics, Media, Peace Prize and Honorary Award.
The Society Prize.
The winner in this category can, for example have done something to positively affect the influx of citizens, or perhaps helped to raise the morale throughout the society, bettered the standard for workers, or maybe created a group or any other entity to help eSweden to expand socially.
The Economic Prize.
This is a little tricky since the economic aspect of erepublik is far from satisfactory, but you could say that anyone that creates a bank of high standard, writes an enriching article with an economical theme using true arguments and written in a good manner, or perhaps someone who breaks new ground and starts a stock exchange could be considered as potential and worthy winners of the economic price.
The Political Prize.
The receiver of the Swedish political Nobel prize have contributed onto improving, and widening the political aspect of erepublik. It can for instance be someone who wrote a political analytical article, anyone who has served any kind of political post with outstanding example, or maybe an especially strategically thought out election campaign, things like these.
The Media Prize.
This category can easily be misunderstood. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the person who has written the best article that receives the media prize. It goes to the person who has, by whatever means of expression, not only through articles, in the best way benefited the Swedish media and done something to further it, someone who have inspired others and helped to make the media more interesting.
The Peace Price.
Well, this one is rather self-explanatory. The receiver of this prize is any person that in the best way has done something to strengthen the world peace, and helped spread the non-violence.
The Honorary Award.
This prize goes a person who should be awarded for his or her achievements to make this game and the life in it more interesting and rewarding. An inspiring enthusiast and someone who stands as a good example for others to follow.
These are the awards and prizes that make up The Swedish Nobel Prize.
None is more or less valuable than the others; they are all equally honourable and should be considered non-comparable.
The award each laureate receive is first and foremost THE HONOUR, this is the true prize, but to symbolize it all there is also an award of 100 SEK to each laureate to credit for the individual’s achievement. The prize money is also to serve as a motivation for others to become involved in the game and all it’s aspects.
Here are the laureates of the first ever Swedish Nobel Prize!
The Society Prize.
“This is the organization responsible for ‘educating’ every newly arrived citizen in eSweden. They have worked so hard in the toughest of times; back when eSweden went through the great expansion, or when the spam articles poured out from every new citizen and we needed someone to teach them, they were there!
For outstanding dirty work, The Swedish Society Nobel Prize goes to... Mentor Sverige!”
The Economic Price.
“One of the most economically dedicated souls in eSweden. He has shown us that even if our country is shrinking in numbers of citizens we can still grow, grow economically. The receiver of The Swedish Economic Nobel Prize is the founder of both Svenska Riksbanken (Bank of Sweden) and Obligationssystemet (The Bond System), he is the ‘King of Cash’ and his name is... Alleus!”
The Political Prize.
“This man is known for his hard-like-stone diplomacy and many respected him for the formidable force he was wielding, but it is neither of those tributes that earns him this prize, it is the person behind the granite face, his big heart, his will to serve his country, his burning devotion for politics and all achievements he made during his time in office. Put all these attributes into a single living entity and you will have a man of high valour. The Swedish Political Nobel Prize goes to... Ziggyzag!”
The Media Price.
“Even if some got burnt occasionally, he was the light in our medial darkness. A man worthy of sanctification. He brought up heavy and gray issues with great enthusiasm and phenomenal humour and taught us to loosen up. With such a great mark he has left us all with his name will echo through time and we will always remember him as the reincarnation of the Latin saying: “Uno sed leo” (One, but a lion). The Swedish Media Nobel Prize goes to... Grev Per!”
The Peace Price.
This price has been withdrawn. We had a suitable laureate, Stason and his charity organization Global mana, but unfortunately he died some time ago. So we went back to scratch and we could simply not find anyone worthy of this prize. Therefore we will keep the 100 SEK that served as prize money and add it to the next edition of The Swedish Nobel Prize, so that the laureate of the peace price then will receive an extra 100 SEK! So get out there and do some good deeds!
The Honorary Award.
“It was not long ago that he joined erepublik as a rookie. Now he is one of the most active and devoted citizens in eSweden. He is a fierce soldier, an eloquent congressman and polititian, a talented writer and a hard worker. He is active in all kinds of discussions outside erepublik.com, you will run into him in the Swedish forum where he delivers his thoughts and ideas in a mature and clever manner. The Swedish Nobel Prize’s Honorary Award goes to a man which devotion to the game is exemplary, a man formally known as Jemtlandica... Misho!”
There you have them all, eSweden’s true frontier!
Now, there will most likely occur some changes and some additions, so keep yourself updated here. The laureates know nothing of this in advance so the PMs will be sent right after I publish this.
The Grand Nobel Banquette!
On Sunday the 6th of July, 19:30, GMT+1 (or day 229, 10:10 in eRepublik time) we have organized a “banquette” in a separate IRC-channel. Everyone is invited! There will be people from all over the world there to discuss everything. The banquette will officially open a couple of hours before the stated time, but at the time mentioned above the THANK SPEACHES will take place, this is where each laureate will have some time to make a little speech of his own, classy eh? We will also hand out loads of gifts to random people at the banquette.

Comments
If there are any misspellings or such feel free to note so I can correct it.
Incredible. Amazing. Such an amazing and grand thing to receive and win. I must say you have not only created a prize to honour thee who wins. You have also created a goal for every person in this country, a goal except being the strongest, winning battles or getting high salaries. Amazing, I believe this will be a big part of Erepublik.
And as you say; Congratulations to all the winners, you are all worty the prize you have acheived.
And the prize goes to.. assorted members of FBS! Oh, and Grevvy
Just kidding, Misho, Ziggy, Alleus and GrevPer are excellent choices.
I am honored! To share a prize as the Nobel Prize with such great persons as Ziggyzag, Alleus and GrevPer and recieve it from Hyogeum and Josefstark, - a worthy prize taker himself if he hadn\'t acctually been a founder of the prize.
Unfortunaltely I\'ll be on a plane from Copenhagen to Stockholm (No, it has nothing to do with GrevPer 🙂 ) On Sunday the 6thof July but I would love to see a cut \'n paste from that irc log in the swedish erepublik forums when I get back home!
Thanks again, and oh my what I look good in my tuxedo!
Ok I read you, Misho! Maybe you could write a little speach an PM to me and I will \"read\" it at the banquette.
We in Mentor Sverige are very happy for that award!
We would like to that everybody that worked along whit us in the hard times.
We also would like to thank Ziggyzag, the mods and admins of erep.se.
RadiumHill!!!!! We dident forget you!
And last but not least all new members, whit out you we wouldent have this job!
Thank you!
Will we see one or more representants from Mentor Sverige at the Grand Banquette perhaps?
I should be able to make it. We are having a guest stay with us on the 8th but I can drop by the IRC for 15 min. or so.
And I\'m quite flattered, I certainly didn\'t think I was in the running for a Nobel Prize. So when I got the PM I was quite shocked. (Haven\'t even finished my reply yet.) I can\'t believe the Swedish state is going to fund Danish terrorism. That\'s odd. 😛 No but really, it\'s nice to be recognized for my work and I can imagine that all the winners feel the same. (sorry losers.)
Thanks for the pm, josef. I\'ll write an article about this, but I want to try to talk to all the winners.......time to pm
I hope the publicity won\'t wear them down though. 😁
lol
I actually didn\'t read the last part until just now. I\'ll try to make the banquet, and I\'ll report from there, with the exeption of Misha. I\'ll talk to him now
Congrats to all winners.. It would be great if there was an international one. But that would require a great deal of time and effort.. Not including the un-Biasness that may or may not be..
Congrats to all the winners!
@josefstark, very interesting, as always when you send me a link 😁
I think I\'ll try to make the Banquette, if I get the time. 🙂
My congratulations to everyone! 😃
Peace prize not for Pakistan? Pig-disgusting.
Maybe I can set up an \"Ironc Award\"... pakistan would probably be a high ranking candidate for that peace prize. 😁
Pig-disgusting? Hm, I\'ll deprive that phrase from its prior meaning and use it as a greeting instead.
Pig-disgusting!
/Josef Stark
Congratulations to all the winners! And I would want to thank the whole Hypogeum who have been in working on this. This have been my favorite project and I\'ve been looking forward to it for a long time.
I would really want to join in on the Banquette but I\'m unable to attend to the as I\'ll be working at that time.
Amazing!
And congrats all winners, this is something we need!
As a member of Hypogeum it is a true honour and a joy to have participated in the preparation work and to have found such deserving prize-winners. My most sincere congratulations!
Congratulations to all the winners!
I think this is a great idea to promote the able, and encourage the true players of the game to improve their achievement for the game. I only have one request, why don\'t you extend the Nobel Prize to create an international award? 🙂
Everyone is asking that... And I have thought about it but It will take a tremedously great amount of time, I wouldn\'t be able to do much more than just scanning for winners in all countries, and all languages(!). It\'s a wounderful goal and I would be glad to try to work my way to it though.
You can always include international collaborators from different countries in the Hypogeum. Or use an open list of candidates, so anyone can propose a candidate for an award. Next you can text the achievement of each one.
It seems many work to be a monthly award, perhaps it\'ll be easy to give it each 2 or 3 months. These are only ideas, I think it\'s a great project.
I look forward to the banquette!
As a part of mentor Sweden, I am honored 🙂
\"Brakes new soil\" should probably be \"breaks new ground\".
Congrats everyone 🙂 I hope that I can be there at the banquette!

Congratulation for the winners and nice idea to have this in Erepublik. I hope I can join the event tomorrow.
Congratulations!
You can find this article on the wiki too:

It needs a lot of editing.... 😃
Hope this will become tradition in Erepublik!
Who could belive that Grevvy should be the winner of the Swedish Nobelprize back in April?😉 Congratiulations to everyone!
\"\"Will we see one or more representants from Mentor Sverige at the Grand Banquette perhaps?\"\"
I dont know, all i know is that i wont be abel to be there 🙁
I\'m glad to see, as a bearded hypogeum member, that our work finally is done and compilationed. Hopefully we\'ll be able to assign and develope this prize every month without any broken deadlines in the future.
Big congratz to all winners and big thanks to all my fellow hypogeum members, especially Josef Stark who has been the lead figure in this project!
EDIT!
The Grand Nobel Banquette will take place on Sunday the 6th of July, 19:30, GMT+1 ( day 229, 10:10 in eRepublik time)
Yay! Great to see that this project made it to the goal! I will try to not miss the banquette on Sunday. Concrats to all the winners and thnx to Ziggyzag who once asked me to be a part of Mentor Sverige, one of the Nobel Prize winners.
Vem är med mig och våldsgästar nobbelmiddagen?
Råkade skriva det här med \"the swedish military\" först, vilket inte var så bra.
Du behöver inte våldgästa Hador, alla är inbjudna, speciellt du. 😁
Yeay!!!
Party Party!!
what a waste of time
As a member of Hypogeum I would like to personally congratulate the winners and I hope to see you all at the banquet.
Wonderful to see that Grev Per got the Media Prize!
Great initiative. You should make a pool of wise international citizens capable to vote for the international candidates.
Regards,
SSoze
interesting

let\'s choose the laureates from all of the world
Grev Per is hard core dane. He just live in the annexed (by Sweden) Denmark now.
