Hello everyone ^^
I've been part of a few RP forums in my time now and a feature that often appears on them I've yet to notice on here. I figured it would do no harm to suggest it!
It would be quite a cool idea to do monthly awards or awards or something along these lines to recognize and perhaps inspire writers to try and grow over their stay on the website. I will list some examples of things that one might receive a mention for below to give you a better idea:
Contribution to the Forum
Assistance to other players
Most Improved writer
Best Saba Wing Inmate
Best Saba Wing Officer
Best Pima Wing Inmate/Officer
Featured Artist of the month
Best Character Quote
Every month or so people could PM a Mod their nominations and then everybody who received a nomination can be put up in a poll for their respective feature. It just seems like a nice idea to me to build some community and recognize some people on here.

Sounds like a fun thing but I am not sure if the RP is active enough for nominations every month. Sometimes you get a thousand posts in one day and then a week of silence hahaha XD

That's true ^^ I'm still relatively new here so I wasn't quite used to how active the site was when I posted this! It was just a rough idea anyway xD I was mostly saying monthly as it would allow for more people to be recognized, and avoid the same people being brought up each time. However it could work every 2-3 months instead ^^ I'm sure the Mods will have a good idea of what would work best :3

Plus, adds some more Africa-inspired elements to the board. :> The seasons above are all based off of South Africa's actual season changes.

I think, it sounds like a nice idea, but, alongside what Nich said, we're a little forum tbh xD There's quite a few of us, but not as much to give out awards every month or so and such. Additionally it might be a little hassle doing the whole nomination thing. I dunno, just my thoughts yo xD

"Few?" Are you kidding me? In the last month alone, we've picked up a decent amount of new players. We have enough of a userbase now that it shouldn't be a deal. These won't be heavy duty prizes, like cash monies. This is like, little icons and honorable mentions. We could also do it by character so...

Yeah, but as I said to Nich it doesn't necessarily have to be monthly. It's just the concept of the suggestion itself that seems nice. Plus it would perhaps inspire more people to keep posting and work to a better standard. I know we'd been having problems with short posts lately, and if there's something like this it could work as a bit of an incentive.
Either way, it's still a suggestion and it's nice to get feedback. I just agree with Almighty on this one. It's a nice way to strengthen the community.

Mm, and seasonal contests could help promote new members that come across the site. They see that there's something in it for them beyond typical rp, they'll be quick to join.
I know I'd be more inclined to join and stay active with some incentive.
