OTM's!

[-Brinzer-]

Alright, you guys, I've decided on a whim to actually start using the OTM board over there under the chat box, because it's been sitting there all dormant and sad and alone because all it wants in life is to get some attention too. Is it so much to ask for us to put some words, maybe some icons in there and show the OTM's some love?

It's too early in the morning for me to be typing leave me alone

Okay, SO. Do y'all know what OTM's even are? WELL, if you don't, OTM stands for Of The Month. Like Member Of The Month, Character Of The Month, et cetera et cetera.

Now, why we've let this gross oversight of such a prestigious award go unpunished for so long, I have no idea. Talk to Thrika, she made this place, shouldn't she be the responsible one i can't do everything here. But I've arrived to rectify this! The only activity it requires from you guys is just being here, really, because that's how you remain eligible. As long as you're online consistently around the time we make these decisions, you and all of your characters are capable of being picked to display this honorable thing for a month until we pick new ones.

We're not even gonna make you guys take the time to vote or anything. Us awesome staffers will do this all on our own.

Oh but then why should you care, you say? If it's going to be there looking pretty but not affect you at all?

WELL.

You should all care because there are prizes!

Yes that's right, a few of you lucky ducks will get free stuff! What is this free stuff you may wonder? Well hold on, hold on, just keep reading and I'll tell you.

_____________________________________________

So here's the important part (which will probably be the only part that actually stays, as once people get the hang of it all that nonsense up there is no longer important.);

There are four categories up for grabs:

-----

First and most prestigous-ly: Member Of The Month.
This lucky boy/girl/man/woman/nongendered being is the person who has been consistent in logging in on a regular basis, and posting replies to threads promptly and adequately. But quality is important here too, if you're just turning out one liners or playing the games in the OOC board, then that doesn't really count, because it doesn't take very much effort, now does it? It also wouldn't hurt your chances to be involved with the other members on a friendly basis, but this isn't official criteria, because some people are just a little antisocial and we get that.

And for proving themselves to be awesome people, the MOTM will recieve 1,000 gemstones PLUS a free magickal ability of their choosing, which can be applied to any dragon they have made or plan on making. This does not have to be redeemed right away, as long as you make a record of it in your stalker thread or somewhere else so us admins can remember.

Next up in the showcase is our Female Character Of The Month.
This lovely charrie is someone whose story we've been following with interest. That is to say, which female is involved in the best plot lines, shows the most interesting personality, and overall just makes a good character to rp with, both from the RPer and the other party. Only the threads which have not already been archived will be taken in to consideration for picking these.

The recipient of this award will receive 500 gemstones and a free mutation or miscellaneous item from the catalog. If you find that you don't want/need any of those, but really want a new magick for one of your dragons, then you may get a half priced magickal ability instead, in addition to the five hundred gemstones.

-----

On the same token is the Male Character Of The Month.
Same as the FCOTM, except this one is a boy.

The prize for this award is the same as FCOTM.

-----

And last but certainly not least, we have the Thread Of The Month/
As I'm sure you've gathered by now, this is a thread that us staffers think is really interesting, and something you all should go check out. Any threads related to an overall site plot update will be considered the most for this prize, but if there are none at the time then a regular thread will be chosen.

Egg, Claiming, and Hatching threads are not eligible for this award.

As a prize, all participants will receive 500 gemstones.
