Member of the Month: October 2016

**Mantis** · 23rd October 2016, 12:50 AM

Though we only have two candidates this month, it's definitely been about quality over quantity. There's been a lot more activity with lots of creative threads. I find this quite interesting, because we've never had a one-versus-one poll before! Good luck to both of you.

However, do vote for another candidate on this list. You won't be able to see other votes until the voting ends in a week, so just go with your gut and vote for your favourite member. Also, I've introduced 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 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.

The winner will receive an award (finally announced in November), 2500 wong and a golden username for a month. If you win you won't be eligible as a candidate for another six months. For those who missed the chance, try to post at least once a day for surefire candidate eligibility next month.

Best of luck, candidates. And for everyone, I'd like to remind you that you'll get wong for voting, not to mention it's very helpful so please do so. Keep in mind that you only need to post twenty-five times a month to be a candidate for MotM.

This has ended a little earlier than most MotM polls as I wasn't sure I'd be home to open the discussion and reward the winner on Halloween. In any case, it appears we have another tie. As many of you know, when this happens the winner is decided by the number of posts between the start of the month and the poll's opening date. Below are the exact numbers:

AsherTheWilliams: 40
pseudohippie: 66

Congratulations pseudohippie—you're the winner! It's well deserved, though I'm really happy to see that both of you have made a return. You signed up at similar times, having been members for over five years each. I've upgraded your status and added the 2500W to your account.

Congrats to you both on the hard work! Let's all post a lot and get things even more exciting for next month! Now I have to get used to NOT being the golden name...just like I had to get used to being it. xD
