[Voting is Open]Contributor of the Month: August 2018


We're really excited to extend our congratulations to the deserving contributors who were nominated this month, listed below for your perusal!

We'd like to give a shout-out to Pegasus for being nominated this month, but is unable to receive the reward because she has already received it in the past. You can find her interview here.

Additionally, we'd like to give a shout-out to a number of individuals who were collectively nominated as massively supportive contributors in the development of Yaralon! Though you won't be submitted to the vote this month, your collected efforts and creative spirit has been invaluable to the staff team of Yaralon, and we'll recognize this with rewarding all of you with the Helper medal! Thank you very much to Jonathan Burr, Gangui, Zasalamir, Nightshade Eld, Nathan Wulff, Brother, Munchkin and Eclipse for your help and continued enthusiasm!

Please take a moment to review the nominees for August's Contributor of the Month and submit a vote for who you would like to see recognized here. This award is given to an individual who has invested a great deal of time into Standing Trials, whether by helping flesh out the site by providing content, thread reviews or assisting players by being a supportive presence throughout the game.

The deadline for the vote is July 29th, due to the delayed posting of the vote.
Anomaly

Anomaly first began serving on staff a little over two years ago. Since she began, she’s been a fundamental member of the site, assisting in leading the Advocate team, and ensuring that the ship continues to run smoothly. She also makes it her work to assist other players with any issues or difficulties that they may have, and is the server host of our site’s Discord channel. While her primary role is as an Advocate, she’s also displayed a creative streak, and was a primary developer of Emea.

From the nominations: "Anomaly is the sunlight in the sky of our fine site. Without her, everything would wither and die, including my poor and decrepit heart over the monumental stress that would constantly barrage us on the daily. Truly, she is a staff member more than worth her weight in salt, and assists us spectacularly with her herculean efforts. The fact she's not received proper commendation is anathema to my justice-bound soul, and I seek to see it rectified. Also, she deals with a lot of stuff, and she deserves the recognition."
Banshee

Banshee first began serving on staff during March of this year, and has been busy ever since their signing up. They’ve been fundamental in assisting in Viden via the creation of the seasonal calendar, and other aspects of lore there, and have been remarked upon as having made it much easier to write and enjoy oneself in that city. Banshee’s contributions have brought a resurgence of energy from Viden, and its’ evident from the active player-base there that they’ve done an excellent job.

From the nominations: "His help in activating Viden with the Seasonal Quest, the calendar and the Fitness Centre has given new dimensions to explore, modded or not. There are several new threads and a bustling new energy in Viden these days."
Devin

Since Devin first joined our site, it’s been noted that he has been a friendly and respectful member of the community. He’s always displayed this attitude, whether one is talking with him on the site, or whether they are chit-chatting with him on the site Discord. He’s also showed a great deal of support for the community as a whole, and has been a casual contributor for various aspects of the site’s lore. If we all showed the same cohesive thinking and kindness that Devin shows, there’s a good chance we’d be happier people for it.

From the nominations: "Between all of his characters, past and present, Devin's been a fantastic and reliable member of the community who in many ways epitomizes what I feel Standing Trials should be---writing and storytelling, free of unnecessary baggage and drama. He's contributed with a healthy and down-to-earth attitude and steady support for the community as a writer and casual contributor and while that might not look like much on paper, I think it's very important."
Oracle

Oracle first joined our staff team during April of this year. Since then, she’s taken an active role in Storytelling for the city of Rharne. Whether her activity for that city involved moderating different stories for the players there, or fleshing out locations and lore for the city as a whole, there is little doubt that she’s done an excellent job of breathing fresh life into the area. She’s also been very helpful to the playerbase, and is always happy to answer questions and assist others with any difficulties that they may be having whilst displaying a gentle attitude.

From the nominations: "As a new staff member she has revitalized Rharne, given moderated threads, run great plots and been an all round good egg. She's player focused and quick to help out. Gets my vote!"
