Thread: Member of the Month: March 2017

It's voting time! March has been nice with plenty of new members. Thirteen members have posted at least ten times, but only three members qualified for the 25-post requirement. (Starwind did too, but there's a six-month wait.) I think March would have seen a little more activity if it wasn't for that damned Nintendo Switch! (Just kidding. I'm sure it's great.) AsherTheWilliams just slid in, but his posts are still just as entertaining as when he was a newbie over six years ago. Hari might have been sent to the fourth dimension by his Switch, but before he was sucked in he wrote some fun posts. Hari's a pretty cool guy. KorinKitty has continued to write some excellent threads and posts that have sparked lots of discussion. Strong candidate? I'd say they all are.

As always, please check here for the full set of rules. See below for the voting criteria.

Remember, candidates, you can't vote for yourselves or you'll be automatically disqualified, and your voters will be allowed to vote for somebody else. However, I strongly urge that you vote for another candidate on this list. You won't be able to see other votes until the voting ends at (approximately) the end of the month, so just go with your gut and vote for your favourite member. Also, there are limits for voters. This is to make sure all votes have validity. You're still able to reach these requirements within the voting period if you don't already.

• You must be registered for at least two weeks
• You must have written ten posts
• You must have posted at least within the last three weeks

Anybody who meets these is allowed to vote. Remember that this is only for posts from this month—not your favourite of these candidates for all time. The thread will be closed for discussion until the voting period ends and the winner is announced.

For the past few months we've had a particular problem: people not voting. If you're reading this and you're eligible to vote, please do so—even if you're a candidate! (In other words, don't be "that guy".)

If you win, you get the gold username and 2500 wong, the forum currency. I'm still considering more uses options for wong. But of course, posting will now get you discounts at the Outlaw Bazaar, which I'll be posting more of my own merchandise on. Still, put the wong in the bank at the market to gain interest. MotM Winners won't be eligible as MotM for another six months.

I know I'm a bit late posting this but the rules remain. You'll be able to reply when the poll ends at 5PM on April Fools' Day, UK time. (Off-topic: the clocks just moved forward an hour so we'll get more sun (okay, not literally) every day. )

Congratulations, Asher!



This was a close one—another tie, but Asher won, having posted fifty-four times since the beginning of March which is slightly higher than KorinKitty's forty-eight. It was a great month. It's a shame more didn't vote despite my best efforts! Maybe this month I'll have to put up a blinking neon sign. Better luck next time, Hari and KorinKitty. Asher certainly deserved this and it was well timed as he just surpassed the 1500-post mark. You get the golden username, the bonus wong, and also...

Damn it, I think Reggie sabotaged my chance of winning.

Just kidding, it's been great to see Asher posting more often than usual as his positivity and sense of humor are always welcome in my eyes! Korin has done a terrific job of coming up with interesting topics for discussion since she got here as well, we'd likely be a lot less active without her. Well done to both of ya.

HIGH DRAMA!

Thank you Hari, thank you Mantis, and thank you err'body.

I shall savor the month of gold names and high-calorie awards:
*actual footage of actual Asher eating actual cookie*

*totes legit, I swearz*

Korin and Hari were hard to choose between.
They've both been putting a lot of life in the forum and fostering some top-notch discussions.
So thank you both for your forum shenanigans, and I'm looking forward to shenanigans to come.

Mantis, maybe we need to re-think the MOM advertising campaign...
Perhaps this...

Congrats for the win, Asher! Wear your gold name with pride.
