User of the Month March 2017 - anonymous & RadZakpak!

[InfestLithium]

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS

 

Welcome back slayers to the monthly User of the Month contest! After a very, very, very long haitus of no new cyan king/queen, we have finally kicked things back up (with popular demand of course). There is always a good sport that's deserving of the prestiguous robes and crown for the month, regardless of the decline in Zombies hype.

 

For all you freshmeat who haven't of UotM, let your dear ol' papa Festo give you a short description of it:

 

Quote

User of the Month (UotM) is an honorary title and award that CoDz sets up on a monthly basis for members of the community who showcase great leadership, provide top-quality posts regardless of discussions, just all-around wonderful members that help support the community in many different fields.

Other members will then nominate who they think fills these criteria, and after so many nominations, will be able to vote on who they think should be this month's UotM. Remember - this is based on your qualitative characteristics, not quantitative! Being nominated is equally a huge deal, and there are many more months to come (even if you aren't voted for). This is a healthy competition to strive to become a better community member.

 

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!

[anonymous]

I would like to nominate @InfestLithium for his eternal imput on this site. Since the absence of some active mods and members, he seems to fill their places. He is the brain behind the recent update, the Ancient Trials, and other juicy refreshing ideas that constantly update this site, and I'm sure he is currently working on something new. Without him, this site would be exact the same as a half year ago, and look how many things are added the last half year. Without him, CoDZ would not be half as active as it is today. CoDZ perhaps would not even have existed anymore.

 

Every new member having questions or reporting bugs, are friendly answered by him. I can't remember a mean or uninterested comment of him. He always seems to be the positive and innovative guy here.

 

Besides this, which already should be a reason to be UotM, @InfestLithium has proven to be an expert in the storyline. With his almost 5 years of experience, he became a real story-veteran, creating topics that amaze me every time.

 

And as a small side note: Without him this topic might not have existed.

 

 

 

[RadZakpak]

I would like to nominate @InfestLithium and @anonymous.

 

@InfestLithium has been carrying an enormous amount of responsibility on his shoulders with this site, and has continued to innovate and add new features even during times of lesser activity. He has stayed active throughout the entire forum and has been a massive help and the one who gave me the opportunity to write my Storybook here. If not for him, I don't think I would have stuck to writing it as much as I have.

 

@anonymous has been probably the most active user I've seen since I joined this site, and continues to post thought-provoking threads and further discusses existing theories to keep people talking about the storyline, even during this time with limited info being added. The forum would not be quite the same without users like @anonymous continuing to post.

[anonymous]

@Blurryface, @Spider, @Schrödinger, @Smok3y, @The_Giant_935, @andydabeast, @Steelie, @DragonGJY, @Tattoo247, @Spider3000, @Slade, @Lenne, @Monopoly Mac, @Doppelgänger

to name a few. Nominate your opinion!

[Lenne]

I am le nominating @Blurryface, cause he is not only very active, he also tries to incorporate the IW Zombies section, which is admirable.

It pains my heart though when I see him post and get quite a lot of views, but barely any replies. 

 

I think it is admirable that he at least tries to get something out of that new mode.

I have the same thoughts about that. It is that I don't have IW, so I can't really discuss about it. But I really appreciate the posts Blurryface creates. I am sure a lot of orange nametags and guests here who play IW Zombies appreciate it alot, even while they don't or can't reply

Wow I am honored to be mentioned! 

I nominate @InfestLithium for his work organizing the Ancient Trials. It is a time commitment for him to weekly create a new challenge and write it up and compile the results and respond to questions. I think it is more work than people realize and We all appreciate that because it is a LOT of fun. 

 

[Spider]

I nominate @anonymous the most active user on CoDZ for more months. I've enjoyed reading the top notch topics posted.

[InfestLithium]

It's so entirely difficult to nominate because we have several wonderful members that really showed initiative this month, so bear with me if I forget names that have already been previously mentioned.

 

@anonymous You've seen their name all around the forum. Always posting, engaging especially in the story aspect of Zombies despite the critical downtime in general CoD Zombies hype. Definitely someone that shows what real activity looks like!

 

@RadZakpak Ever since he came to CoDz to work on the Storybook (which is a fantastic read, you gotta experience it all!), he has been extremely helpful in engaging with others within the community, giving major support to CoDz when it came to new additions, participating in several types of discussion...did I mention the damn Storybook?

 

@andydabeast Although a new guy, this dude has been one of the biggest proponents for keeping the Ancient Trials alive. Even when things were getting tough workload-wise, he even came to help out where possible, always keeping me on my toes about it. Little reminders here and there help out a lot. I don't think the tournament would be nearly as successful without him constantly advocating it, making sure other competitors were active within it trying to create discussion. Talk about team player!

[ZombiesIsKey]

There is so many people I could nominate but I have to give it to @InfestLithium this month. He has helped me out with a lot this month and has been working hard with a few of my basic ideas and made them into something special. Thank you for keeping this amazing place alive and good luck buddy! :)

[Hells Warrrior]

I don't feel qualified to nominate but good luck to everyone that has been nominated.

[Tattoo247]

Thanks @anonymous for the shout, even though I'm a ghost around here now...

That could very well change if this World at War 2 rumor is true, I've learned not to hold my breath but it's exciting nonetheless. 

[InfestLithium]

The Snoop D-O double G heard ya loud and clear, my schnizles! Voting has commenced and will end by Friday 11:59pm PST.

 

Also, thank you to all who nominated me but as part of my responsibility to this community, I cannot take part in the UotM. But I love y'all for thinking of me - it's so awesome to see so many people really enjoying the new things being brought to the site. Cheers to much more for the future!

If you know you deserved it to be UotM, its fine. As a side note: I am really fund on that trading cards game. Nice work on that!

Voted

 

[Smok3y]

Not sure if I missed the deadline! But I voted for Radzak. 

 

His story book book has kept me entertained on quite a few long flights over the last few months and I'm pretty certain when it's done I'll get the whole thing bound.

 

top effort! 

[InfestLithium]

It appears we have a tie. In spirit of a returning UotM contest, we will have two cyan crows this month.

 

Congrats to @anonymous and @RadZakpak for becoming UotM for March 2017! Now, play nice and share the cyan robes you two. 

 

Also, a big shoutout to all who participated and were nominated in this event. It's a YUGE honor to be recognized by the community, and is a reminder to continue being awesome! Next month might be yours for the taking if you keep up the great work.

[RadZakpak]

It's an honor! Thanks everyone that voted. And congrats @anonymous! I'm happy to share the title with a user such as yourself!

[Spider]

Congrats @RadZakpak and @anonymous well deserved to you both 

[ZombiesIsKey]

Congrats lads @anonymous @RadZakpak

 

Well deserved win!

Keep up the great work both of you :)

[anonymous]

Aww, thanks everybody! Its a great honor for me to be nominated as UotM on this more than 25000 members having forum! And I am glad and honored to share that title with @RadZakpak, the author of the Storybook as well as many inspiring theories. I'm gonna wear that cyan nametag with pride, people!

[The_Giant_935]

Thank you very much 4 the mention!

 

I am honored, and proud to be part of this community!

Second time for me being UotM. Last time it was a dual UotM too, with @shirtlesservice. Good times, good times
