GREETINGS EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO OUR THIRD AND FOURTH PLAYER OF THE MONTH AWARD(WHICH IS SLIGHTLY LATE)!!!
Before I declare the wonderful winners of this glorious prizes a short summary on what this is and how I examined everyone while deciding who to give this too. The Player of the Month is an award that I give out every month(Up until this point. This is now changing) to the player who has had the most positive impact on the site, community, and everything as a whole. I have decided this through a few observations. Allow me to provide a list of things I looked for.
A. All posts made during the current month: Quantity and Quality both come into play here. Role playing or monologuing I read it all and stuff that stood out earned points. The count of posts serves as a tiebreaker
B. Participation in Seasons during the current Month: A small detail, but being active in the seasons is a big part of our community. Participating in seasons earns your points as well.
C. Mastermind Reference: I asked all our masterminds who hosted to tell me their MVPs and problem players. Getting an MVP reference earns you ALOT of points, while if I was told you were a problem player you lose ALOT of points.
D. Constructive Feedback: Providing feedback on the seasons you played that is constructive and not insulting. Points for providing valuable feedback.
E. Creativity: This one is a little bit tougher, generally I just looked at whether you have been contributing new minigame, season, or mechanic ideas. Quality matters as well.
F. Skype: Next is participation in the skype chat. This is less about posting alot and more about being a positive impact on the skype chat. Causing arguments or being excessively disruptive results in losing alot of points. Being a problem player in the skype chat is arguably worse than in a season so this is the place where the most points could be lost.
G. Overall Activity: The ultimate Nullifier here. If I judge your overall activity as very minimal I will remove you from the consideration entirely. Whether 20 masterminds liked you or not, if you didn't do anything besides show up and talk to the mastermind in PMs its kinda pointless. This is a 1 or a 0 point. If its 0 you are out of the running, 1 and you are in the running.

Now that I have elaborated on all that I am sure you are curious who has survived the cut and been selected as our PLAYERS OF THE MONTHS!
NOW FOR MAY OF 2015, THE PLAYER OF THE MONTH IS......

Nova! A rather new member to the forum, however they were very active and a positive part of the community this month!
Congratulations again to our two recipients for Player of the Month! I do however, have some less than savory news. I still intend to try and hand out player of the month every month, however especially in reviewing for these two awards there was a distinct lack of people standing out. Very few people did anything but play in a season and everything else was very much limited. I fear that if this trend continues I will be handing out Player of the Month to whoever posted the most and not be able to take anything else into account. As such I will now state that I CAN decide to not hand out Player of the Month if I feel activity in general was the only thing anyone had going for them and such. I have updated this on the member awards announcement as well. Apologies for the trouble, but I do want the award to mean at least some small something.
