Ok so uhm, hopefully I can make this look good without writing the entire article :3
Introduction: For awhile now Game of the Month has been a thing in the MMORPG room on Pokémon Showdown. However, many users seems to be confused about how it really works, how we choose the Game of the Month and so on and that is the reason I have chosen to at least try to make things more clear, both for new users coming to the room, but also for common users who are just in need of more information.
What is really GotM: Needless to say, the Game of the Month is a Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game(MMORPG), which is chosen by a Strawpoll that is created every month. To ensure that not the most common and popular MMORPG's are chosen each month, the game of last month is taken away in the Strawpoll for the current month. This also creates some excitement when choosing the Game of the Month, because everyone gets to vote for their favourite game, or at least the game they find most interesting.
Current Gotm: Currently the Game of the Month is a game called Realm of the Mad God, or RotMG for short. As for most MMORPG's this game gives you the chance to meet up with others and fight hard bosses/solo kill them if you are indeed very strong, or just sit there and grind for experience and items, if that is what you like doing in these types of games. (More in depth info about the game will come, if the idea is approved)
Voice contest: (This is the part where I would need a MMORPG staff member, but I'll post what I know by heart. Also this is not 100%confirmed to be a thing, but I will inform if it is cancelled. One final note is that it might be a contest where the winner gets something else than voice, but also that would be cool to bring up in the article, at least in my opinion :])
We will soon have a (voice) contest coming up in the MMORPG room. Now you may wonder, what does a contest have to do with Game of the Month? Well, the answer is quite simple. The contest is based on who can write the best review of the current GotM, both when it comes to a general look of the game and opinions/discussions about it.
Conclusion: Alright, it is time to round out this article. To sum up the main points:
- The Game of the Month is something we do to try to get more people into a new MMORPG if they are indeed in need of a new game.
- The Game of the Month is always chosen by a Strawpoll.
- Voice contest coming up soon(hopefully), so make sure to get your writing skills ready if you'd like to participate.
Thanks for reading the article, and I hope to see you all in the MMORPG room soon, as well as I'm hoping you have a great day/evening!
