PotM August

[Admin Choc]

Even though there were only two posts nominated, the judges were challenged by having to decide the winner of this Month. There was competition and nice details in both works, but one post was said to have a bit more richness in details. Quote: "It might have just been the difference of subject matter, or the difference between another angsty grief scene, and a bit more intrigue and threat."
This post was nominated by Banabadger -> This is an excellent balance of a player playing with the party, but also playing with the consequences of the game. Humble Athena is reminding the party that the curse her PC has been given does adversely affect her character's actions and choices, no matter how supportive other PCs might be. It's a great balancing act of promoting group cohesion (by letting all the players in on her turmoil) and allowing previous actions and rolls shape the story.

Close call, but we have a winner, well deserved:

Humble Athena!!!

Congrats! The winning post can be read over here and trust me, it is worth the read! While (or after) reading -> do not forget to click those scales to share some RPXP-love <3

Second place is reserved for Crocodile, nominated by Starflier; This post is a moving and wonderful end to a short rp storyline between two characters who hadn’t really interacted previously in the game. It’s beautifully written, without being wordy, and concludes things in a satisfying way that leaves room for the relationship between the two to develop openly and honestly.
You can read their post over here (yes, adding some RPXP would be nice ;-)

And just a little note: even though two nominated posts were still competition, we would love to make it even harder for the judges by providing more posts to read. This is something we need your help with, please reach out and encourage your players to show their appreciation by nominating a post they think is awesome. Tell your fellow adventurers to think about nominating a post, tell them to share their enthusiasm and gratitude and point them all to this thread: over here

Let's fill this thread with loads of posts, and remember; every nominated post has impressed someone, so they are all winners to begin with :-)
