Monthly Kudos

[BEAR.]

Hey everyone!

The staff is considering bringing back part of the Monthly Kudos: Character of the Month!

In the past, it has been heavily inactive, and because of this we would prefer to not resume it if people don't plan on participating. While we did poll our Discord server, we would like to see what the community as a whole thinks.

If we did resume the Monthly Kudos feature, it would be formatted similarly to this:

• Users have almost a full month to nominate the characters they think deserves recognition. Nominations must include a reason for voting for the character that goes beyond a basic compliment. (No "they're cool, the cat is nice", etc.)
  
  
• Users can nominate MULTIPLE characters, but a character can only be nominated once!
  
  
• Characters need to have been used within the last month of being nominated, and preferably are still active at the time of being voted for.
  
  
• Two characters can be featured per month, and will be determined based on the amount of votes they receive. If a roleplayer has multiple characters with the highest number of votes, the second cat chosen would be that of a different roleplayer. Note: only nominating high ranks will be frowned upon and may result in Monthly Kudos concluding. We want cats to be voted up because they're interesting characters who deserve it, not necessarily because they're in a position of power! Give people who aren't in the spotlight all the time some love. <3
  
  
• People who win Monthly Kudos will get an award and an undetermined amount of koins.
  
  
• More to come potentially, it's still a WIP! Considering resetting the previous winners since that spans five years and would be almost impossible to track at this point.

With all that in mind, please cast your votes in the poll above if you'd be interested in participating in nominations and voting!

Any feedback or thoughts on this is welcome as well. It's still a rough draft, things are being worked out, and ultimately we're hoping this doesn't boil down to favoritism and people not keeping an eye out for cats who might not be as well known.

I think the idea looks very fun!
Though I'm sure a lot of people would just vote for the most well known cat,
I'm sure enough of us would be happy to nominate a cat who is less known but has a wonderful design!

I already have a cat in mind, and she's not very well known

I know exactly who i'm gonna apply!

I am not opposed to bringing it back
but I remember there was extreme favourtism in the past and despite trying to avoid it, I think its one of the biggest issues that... is going to be hard to avoid. People are going to vote for cats they know naturally and therefore I fear cats that may deserve it but isn't seen won't be recognized. Despite setting a focus on it, doesn't mean it will happen ):

Perhaps the form to nominate a character could include a link to a role play with that character that the person feels represents part of why they chose them. That way, it will be another deterrent against simply picking a clan leader because they are a clan leader- I feel like the extra evidence of thought makes it less enticing to pick merely the most well known character

I know exactly who I will be doing!

Not sure how or what this is, so no?
