MotM/SotM for August 2017 Like previous months, the staff are keeping tabs on who we believe should be rewarded for their efforts on the forum. We even have a criteria to keep in mind if you want to maximize your chances: Member of the Month- Quality of RP posts: Are your posts creative and detailed so it weaves a rich and engrossing tale?
- Contribution to the site: How have you contributed to the development and history of this site? You could perhaps make some suggestions to improve the RP experience or create new topics for discussion or forum games to entertain us all.
- Participation and activity: Demonstrate to the staff that you enjoy visiting ZZ regularly. There are a large number of discussion topics in the General Boards which you could participate in. Even talking in the cbox might be a way of showing that you can fit in and get along well with the ZZ community.
- Good ZZ citizen: Although this is harder to judge, there are sometimes things that you can do to help out new members, current members and even staff. For example, you might welcome new visitors to the site as well as answer a few questions based on your current understanding of our rules and expectations.
Note that this is not the only criteria that we may judge on. There are other ways in which you could be selected such as promoting/advertising the site. The staff members will be making nominations at the end of the month and the winner will be announced shortly after. Staff of the Month- Efficiency of Modding: This includes not only quality and quantity but also speed and accuracy. As we continue to grow, a lot more threads will need modding so the main criteria for Staff of the Month is the way that you handle the pressure of modding and balancing this out with replies to your own thread.
- Variety of modding: As this would suggest, we are looking out for people who respond to many different threads and can adapt to different scenarios and situations imposed on them. There is also a trend towards providing choices for members in their RP instead of the mundane trainer and wild Pokémon battles forced upon them. Also, don't feel daunted by moderating other staff members.
- Participation in Staff activities: Something as simple as claiming Mod Points not only shows that you are enjoying the perks of being a Moderator, but it also advertises yourself too. We can only get a true sense of how much work that you've done by looking at Mod Point totals and it provides useful data, which can be analyzed and used to improve our efficiency in the future. Also, other contributions to Area 51 projects and making custom sprites for special events is much desired.
- Initiative and leadership: If you see something on the site that needs attention, you could perhaps alert admin to it through a pm or a thread in the Staff Area. To give an example, there might be a need to revise a particular rule or you feel that something is missing in the RP and needs to be covered.
- Site maintenance and management: Included in this is the administrative work that you've done. This could be as simple as responding to "Mod Request" topics for threads that are more than 5 days old or updating starter Pokémon into new members' profiles. Even looking after Game Corner threads.
Thanks for reading, ZZ Staff Team. |

Sweeet! Huge congrats March! You more than deserve it for the mountain of work you've put in the last while on top of all your other life happenings ^^ And Tyger's breeding storm! You've brought a lot of life into the Nursery area and the shops with your deals and activity, on top of having great posts the look up to. Congrats as well! And Morri isn't here at the moment but I know back in January things were a bit tough mod activity wise so I'm glad we could finally get around to rewarding all that effort; even if it's a bit delayed. Good work all  |

Wow I was not expecting this at all. I knew we had not gotten a chance to announce the January winners and though I knew I was a winner in that case I am shocked to win August to..Thank you guys so much. For my prizes I will.be sending them both to Kevin and I will be choosing Cubchoo as it aligns better with my breeding plans and Dwebble as it will be a nice pairing for Berserk for when Kevin faces Bugsy. DwebbleName: Corporal Crusty Gender: Female Level: 10 Attacks: Fury Cutter, Rock Blast, Withdraw, Sand Tomb EMAbility: Sturdy Nature/Personality: Adamant, A very temperamental Dwebble, Corporal Crusty is always looking for someone to fight. She has a knack for enduring hits while dishing out pain of her own as she takes advantage of her hard shell. Other: M/SotM Aug 2017 CubchooName: Private Blue Gender: Female Level: 10 Attacks: Growl, Powder Snow, Bide, Encore EMAbility:Snow Cloak Nature/Personality: Adamant, Private Blue is far from a cute and cuddly thing despite her appearance. When she is not mauling her foes with her claws she lets her boogers do the work by flinging them at anyone who angers her. On top of this disgusting act he is known to bite those who try to pick her up. Other: M/SotM Jan 2017 |
