Scott

RuneScape Community brings you
Member of the Month

This competition is for the community to decide who they feel has been the best overall member over the past month. The best part of this competition is the community has a chance to choose who will be Motm, as compared to the older competition, where it was solely decided by staff members. To become member of the month, you must show a sense of dedication, and post well throughout the boards. You must also be nominated by a member.

Nomination process

In order to be eligible to nominate a person, you must be a member or above. This means, that you must have at least 50 posts. This is to ensure that no one attempts to cheat and register multiple accounts as junior members just to get their names on the list.

In order to be eligible for nomination, you must be a member. This excludes junior members and senior members*. This is for the purpose of a member gaining some recognition in the community for their successes in posting.
*Note: If a senior member was a member for at least 90% of the month (Take date they were promoted, divide by number of days in the month, multiply by 100 to find percent) in which the competition is for, they may be eligible for nomination.

To nominate a person all you have to do is PM Scott. You must label the PM as "Nomination for MotM". This will make it much easier for me to tally up nominations after I receive them all. You can nominate up to two (2) people, no more. You also may not nominate yourself**. If you do, your nomination will be void, and you will be disqualified from the competition. Also, you must not publicly display who you nominated. This is supposed to be a surprise for everyone who was nominated! Just simply PM me the name(s), and that should be all.
**Note: If you are caught asking others to vote for you, or you are bribing others to vote for you, etc., you will be disqualified from the competition. If you truly deserve the recognition from this competition, you will be nominated.

Voting Process

Following the nomination process, the staff will vote on the members nominated on who they believe is the best candidate for this award. After the voting process, the winner's name will be posted in the Runescape Community News section of the community.

Best of luck to everyone! You can start sending me your nominations at this time.

A little under an hour ago, two explosions went off at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. I'm safe in my office right now but I'm looking at pictures online and listening to sirens outside. It's all that's on my Facebook and Twitter feeds right now.

PAX East is this weekend. Will I be seeing any of you there?

There's also a Curse afterparty on Saturday night, kind of want to go just so I can drink with Curse devs and then yell at them for not updating Zybez.

It's that time of year again. Calling all sports fans, statisticians, lucky people, and those of you who just enjoy trying to win against me in things: create a March Madness bracket and ruthlessly slay your enemies play against your Zybez friends! It's free and all that is required is a Yahoo account. If you've done this before, then great! If you're reading this and wondering why March is so angry and what a bracket will do to help, March Madness is one of North America's biggest sporting "events" -- I say that with quotes because it's not a single event, but a 64-team (technically 68 now) single-elimination college basketball tournament. Offices and other groups traditionally create paper brackets, but with this magical thing called the internet, you can now easily create a bracket online (less erasing and scribbling required).

If you're interested, here's the link to the group: http://tournament.fa...t1/group/132032

No basketball knowledge is necessary, because honestly, anything can happen in this tournament. You can play it safe and just pick the top seeds, or hope for some big upsets. Feel free to join even if you're just looking for something fun to do with people on Zybez. Good luck! Winners receive an instant moderator promotion bragging rights forever. Post any questions and smack talk below.
