Voting Now Open: User of the Month May 2016

[InfestLithium]

It's time to n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nominate your next May User of the Month! You know the ropes - think up of who has really been putting in that quality work this month, say why they deserve to be [America's Next Top Model] UotM, and wait til we open up the election booths! It's as simple as 1-2-q! 

Basic Qualifications:

Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month.

A user may not nominate themselves or anyone sharing the same IP address. This is to avoid cheating.

You need at least 50 posts, and have been a member for at least a month in order for your nominations to be considered valid.

A user may not nominate more than three other users per competition.

If there is an abundance of votes for two-three users where upon the total number of users is more than six, a second round of voting may occur if requested by the community. The second round will only consist of the top voted users.

A user may not win User of the Month if they have won the title in the last 3 months. A staff member may not win the title if they have won in the last 6 months.

Users will only be part of the User of the Month group for the month after they won. They will however keep a medal to recognize their victory.

How It Works

Step 1. Browse the forum. Look around, if you really weren't here during the month, please don't put up a random nomination or vote. Just look around. Spend 15 minutes, or even 7 hours scanning around the entire forum! There are lots of great things to read!

Step 2. Decide on your nominations. Pick a few people who you think could be worthy to be added into the poll. You aren't limited to one, but please don't nominate more than a few users. If they're worthy of nominations, they'll be mentioned by someone else. Trust your fellow users, and don't go on a nomination streak, you don't get a care package for 5 nominations.

Also, please read this thread by Ehjookayted on the qualities that are looked for in User of the Month candidates. - Please click here! - There will be cake.

Step 3. Post your nominations, and explanations or example links. When you've decided who you would like to nominate, please post it below in a reply to this topic. I will also be looking for a brief explanation, and/or a link or two showing examples of why they should be User of the Month.

Step 4. Wait. I will leave nominations open for about 2-3 days after posting this thread if time permits. This is simply to ensure that most of our regular users have the opportunity to chip in. Just be patient, and thank you for your time.  [:)]

Step 5. Vote! Out of the nominations, I will add those that meet the required criteria to a poll, which will run for about 3 days. I hope to end the poll on the last day of each month, but time can be a cruel mistress sometimes, so bare with me if things are a day or so off.

Step 6. Celebrate! Congrats, you helped a great member be recognized for his/her greatness. You should be feeling warm and tingly now. Be sure to congratulate them! After the voting is closed, I will remove the old User of the Month from the title, and the new winner will don the Cyan robe and become our new User of the Month!

I vote for @tEfugleskremmel and @Doppelgänger. They both made great theories and have a really good sight on the storyline. Doppelgänger also welcomes every new member and see here a theory of him:

For tEfugleskremmel, well, just take a look on his user page and you see almost every comment of him is gold.

They both showed me they are obvious worth for being UotM

[Hells Warrrior]

This month, my vote goes to @Tac for the numerous news articles, reddit input and topics created for Zetsubou No Shima (of which many exist as well as @Doppelgänger who has been very active and has posted some excellent content.

 

[InfestLithium]

C'mon friendos, don't you wanna share the love around?

Voting time is near, so you better get your nominations in quick!

[Spider]

I vote for @Tac

Beasting the News Articles 

[MixMasterNut]

I would like to nominate @DragonGJY for UoTM.  DragonGJY has been epic this month with helping translate everything that's Japanese from ZNS.  He's once again proven to be a very valuable member of the community, and is most deserving of the award this month.

- Mix

[Tac]

I too nominate @DragonGJY for his impeccable work on the translations. Keep up the good work!

[tEfugleskremmel]

I vote @Tac for making me and my ideas feel welcome while still challenging and keeping me motivated. 

[Hells Warrrior]

Voting is now open.

Congratulations to @DragonGJY our new UoTM May 2016

[NaBrZHunter]

Congrats @DragonGJY!!!! Well deserved! Many thanks for your hard work. I have had the privilege of working closely with @Tac and @Doppelgänger the last couple months and these fellas are a right gold star to this site's name. 

@tEfugleskremmel I have not spent as much time with but a couple encounters with him and reading his work has been a reminder that CoDZ is still the greatest zombie community out here. Thanks so much for getting more involved lately! I will continue to be on the lookout for your work. 

[Doppelgänger]

Congratulations on the Cyan Robes, @DragonGJY. Wear them well!

Also thanks to @Tac and @tEfugleskremmel on sharing the competition. Maybe next time, fellas 

[DragonGJY]

It is an absolute honor to have this award. Thanks for the appreciation from everyone, it has been a great pleasure to learn from this site.

I remember back in time when I joined the forum around BO2 release. I helped with some of the Chinese translation on Die Rise. That experience had been an inspiration for me that everyone is involved with the game. As a native Chinese speaker, being a part of this story-digging community also helped my English.

I've never imagined I would still help with these in BO3. I've studied some basic Japanese over the years and I am pretty confident with the recent translations. They reminded me of the BO2 years so much.

I am happy to see that my efforts are appreciated, and also my genuine thanks to everyone around this site that have ever helped me, inspired me. I am absolutely proud of being a part of the community.

[tEfugleskremmel]

Major grats to @DragonGJY! Well deserved! Also a big thanks to everyone for even being In the running. It's the passion of all of you in this community and the richness of the story that brought me back from my admittedly too long hiatus to contribute what I can.  

I've been a huge fan of zombies as far back as WaW, even though I was still knee deep in maxing my prestige in COD4. As the story and community grew, it hooked me, much more so than any other game has. Or at least in such a unique manner. As a bit of an introvert, as well as being fairly stubborn to joining social media platforms, it took me far too long to find this forum. Had it not been for caving to Twitter while Easter Egg hunting in Black Ops 2, I may not have found myself here during the MOTD hype. I tested the waters that summer, and really only left because of the site doing some big maintenance, plus life/work getting in the way. I came back after the Black Ops 3 release because I really enjoyed reading all the work everyone here does. Thought I'd lost this account, but thanks to everything I had posted still existing, I was able to remember my difficult username. I'm very glad I did, i was itching to join in the discussion. Again, thanks to all of you and I will continue to do my best to provide worthwhile content here. 

Sorry for the long post. But it occurs to me that while I've interacted with several of you, I haven't really told anyone much about me or how I got here. Figured I'd share a little. Again, many many thanks to all of you!

Big ups to @Tac and @Doppelgänger as well for their nods! Stellar work every time from them!

It was Dragon. Tac has accumulated votes since the vote ended.

Well done @DragonGJY, we're glad to have you :)
