September Roleplay of the Month
User Nominations
Hello everyone!
Welcome to the user nominations thread for the September Roleplay of the Month! A quick explanation for new users - the Roleplay of the Month (or RotM for short) is a newsletter feature that showcases a recently-created roleplay that shows great potential and quality. Users are encouraged to suggest roleplays that they are in or have seen to be considered for the next RotM.
How does this work?
The Roleplay of the Month is not a popularity vote. The userbase at large does not get to decide the final featured roleplay. That choice is left up to the newsletter volunteers. But, there's only so many of us, and we can't possibly keep up with the amazing new content that you guys pump out! So this is where you come in. Posting your nominations in this thread vastly increases the number of threads that will be seen and considered for RotM, which is a good thing for everyone!
Requirements
Roleplays that will considered for RotM are group roleplays that are
These restrictions are to make sure that RotM goes to a thread that is both fairly new and somewhat established. In addition, a roleplay thread created by a member of the Staff (bold username) cannot be nominated. However, roleplays created by Fellows are fair game.
Nominations
Your nomination must include
Most importantly, users can’t nominate their own threads – that’s right. You can nominate your friend’s thread, the group that you’re in right now that’s totally awesome – but it can’t be your own thread.
Nominations will be open for two weeks, from the 12th to the 26th of August.
What's deserving of a nomination?
Maybe the game master is really good at giving people exciting plots to work through. Maybe there’s a lot of awesome worldbuilding, or everyone’s posts are detailed and fun to read. The thread might have been going on forever and a half, or the premise of the story is particularly unique and original. These are all things that the Fellows look at and consider when choosing a Roleplay of the Month.
Don't worry about whether or not a roleplay is "good enough" to be nominated. Think about why you enjoy that roleplay, why you think it's special, and convey that in your post.
Frequently asked questions
Wait, how old does the thread have to be?
No older than three months, and no newer than one month. For September, we're looking to feature a roleplay that was creating during May, June, or July.
Are Hosted Projects eligible for nominations?
Yep! They fit all the criteria about being an open group roleplay, so they can be nominated.
Can I nominate multiple threads?
Sure! If you've got two or three other threads that you would like to see given a shot, you can go ahead and nominate them as well.
Can a thread be nominated multiple times?
Yes. However, multiple nominations does not affect the likelihood of the us choosing that thread for Roleplay of the Month.
So the RotM is going to be chosen from this thread?
Not necessarily. We might choose a roleplay that none of the regular userbase happened to nominate. We take your nominations into account, but ultimately, the choice goes to those working on the newsletter.
I think there's a better way to do this.
Please post your ideas in Admin Contact or in a suggestion thread in Site Questions & Information, and we will consider your method for the next month.
Go forth, and nominate!
