Syrika88 is an active and fun member of our community that we feel needs to know they're appreciated! They play Gwen Merbella, the 'dramatic' artist! Modding her as been a constant pleasure, as she consistently ups her game with every reply. From amusing retorts to plain serious posts, Syrika has it all! On top of that, Syrika is an active member in other spots of the site, including the member trades (Let's face it, it takes guts!) as well as the Cbox. I feel that, with members like Syrika, ZapdosZulu can only thrive. There's been constant feedback, constant posting, and a friendly face to talk to on site. Congratulations, Syrika, on a job well done! You've earned it!
And onto our Staff of the Month! Man, I tell you what. It was neck and neck, people. So neck and neck, in fact, that we've got.... 2 winners! Yeah, crazy, I know. It was a complete and total tie. I pestered and pestered for everybody to send their votes in, and boy did they. So, a big (and hearty) congratulations to... JOEY AND MORRIGAN!
There's quite a bit to say about this pair here. Their mass modding sprees tend to come to mind, first off. There was a week where they had things down so tight, that replies came within hours of you replying! Not to mention yesterday. After that, the votes poured in. It merely solidified that this pair is committed to the hard work and dedication needed to consistently give the site their all. Aside from that, The REAL Joey and Morrigan provide interesting and exceptional mod posts, as well as fantastic insight and ideas in the back ends of the site. A lot of what you see now at ZapdosZulu is because of this pair here! Joey and Morrigan have been here almost as long as the site itself, which is pretty impressive. When I joined the site, they were here to answer all my questions, and surprise surprise! Here they are, still doing the same thing. They're both a friendly face in the Cbox, and are both a HUGE asset to the site. I can only hope i'm as good a mod as this pair one day. Their work in both their personal threads as well as modding make them stand out among the crowd, and i'm very honored to present to them their prizes. Congratulations, guys, you've earned it.
Yeah, woohoo, congrats... Alright. Everybody, as you were. ... Oh wait, yeah, you guys get prizes! Please choose between a Mienfoo or a Golett! Congratulations once more!

Hah! Did you read? I almost posted it and left it as me winning all of them. Or I was gonna pick something silly like 'Australia' or 'Abraham Lincoln.'
But seriously. Congrats to everybody! You three already know how I feel about you, considering I wrote all this, but still. I want to make sure you guys understand how important your posts and modding are to the site. I'm glad to call each and every one of you my pal!

First of all, a big congratulations to Syrika for winning MotM~ You have been active with us for a while, so I am really glad to see you being rewarded! I am still laughing about that poisonous scent mention in your trade topic with Joe. I am just waiting for him to reply so I can read more, it's pretty humorous haha. That and your Character and Pokemon personalities and they way they interact are really funny too. I hope you continue to stick with us!
But omg. A tie? That isn't something that happens too often but it's awesome! Thank you all who put your votes in for both me and Joe, I super duper appreciate it! Joe is a great guy and always spurs me on to write better, I really enjoy our mass modding days together. But that isn't entirely fair because I enjoy modding with everyone. xP I'm glad to know that people are happy with my modding, I'll continue to work hard and try to bring new things to the forum for the future~ And Tyger, your words about us were super kind and sweet, we consider you and everyone else here good friends, so thank you too<3
For me, I am going to be claiming a Golett. I hope both Syrika and Joe enjoy their prizes too~ I'll be leaving it blank for now and putting it in with Sharada.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I still feel so new here, and it's really such an honor. This site is a ton of fun, and I've never done a roleplay quite like this one. I love all the little features here - the weather changes, the events, the fact that you can restore a post if you accidentally exit out (which has happened to me plenty of times). Congratulations, Joey and Morrigan! I love RPing with both you guys. And, Joey, the trade post is a ton of fun (I didn't know others were keeping up with it ). It's really terrifying being actually in charge of something, but thanks to you I'm beginning to get the hang of - gasp - interaction! It's a really tough decision, especially with my upcoming faceoff against Falkner, but I think I'll go with Mienfoo. Ice- and Rock-coverage FTW! Also, Mienshao's design is really elegant and cool. MienfooName: Mikado Gender: Male Level: 10 Attacks: Pound, Meditate, Detect Ability: Static Nature/Personality: Careful. Mikado is classy, elegant, and efficient when battling, doing his complete best to make sure every attack hits. This is because battling is only an obligation. Mikado feels time is best spent climbing through trees and learning Great Secrets. He's very patient and good with children. His strange ability, Static, was acquired by the intense practice of focusing his aura. Other: 2015 March MOTM/SOTM Thank you again, so very much!

So i'm a bit late to the party but I will say I was really shocked (But pleasantly surprised) to see I had tied winner with this month's staff vote for SotM. I know Morri and I had a lot of free time in March so it's good to see we were both recognised for our efforts as opposed to one getting the praise and the other missing out. I know there's been a joint before but I think this is the first time i've been in one. Congratulations are in order too for Morri who definitely pulled out the stops last month, you were on fire most of it. And also to Syrika who I have to say i've really enjoyed seeing you get integrated into the site and Gwen grow as a character. You definitely are deserving of the reward. This was also a tough choice for me for Pokemon. I actually used a Golurk in BW and love its whole design and totally skipped out on giving Mienfoo/Mienshao a go so this will make for a change. That and Mienfoo will fit nicely as this Gorillaz homage i'm doing. Noodle the Mienfoo and considering there's Murdoc the Murkrow, things are going pretty neat. I'll be placing her with Remi and working her in much later. MienfooName: Noodle Gender: FemaleLevel: 10 Attacks: Pound, Meditate, Detect Ability: Regenerator Nature/Personality: Although young, Noodle can be very reserved and awkward in her interactions. Not remembering much of her life growing up, she was snatched at an early age and conducted on with experiments by Team Rocket in developing the ultimate super soldier. Many others of her kind were also abducted and experimented on but sadly they did not live to tell the tale as each candidate was forced to kill the other in increasingly gruelling trials. Known as Subject 22 during this period, she still keeps a battle mask equipped from the training over her visage in order to mask her emotions from others, not wanting to interact following everything she has been through. Other: Member/Staff of the Month March 2015 Tiki I'll admit, I had to be sure this wasn't an April's fools haha. Thanks for the congrats. Tyger Aww thanks for that. Really good to hear people think that. I know it can be a lot of bother and heated arguments when we're plotting stuff as a whole behind the scenes as a team but your added words are appreciated. Glad to consider you a pal of mine also. Morrigan Well dooooooone! I honestly thought you were gonna scoop this prize. You outdid me with the sheer amount you modded. And it wasn't just a case of quantity over quality, you made sure each and everyone were of a high standard. *huggles* Avy Even if you're pushed for the time, thanks for the words Avy. I appreciate it. Syrika88 And a well done to you! I definitely think this last month you've really come a long way and it's been a joy modding you. Plus the trade topic we're doing (And I will be getting to that don't worry, I read the reply and enjoyed it, as did others it seems but i've been busy with work, i'll get to it tomorrow though) is nice to see more of Gwen as a character. You're about the only person other than Morri to pick up on Joey having a nefarious scent. Loving the nickname you did. Mikado fits it brilliantly.
