The time has come to pass
Fan of the Week forward. Before I do, I want to thank everyone for the kind words and support (with a special thank you to Murmurandus). I think most of us would agree that responsive fans are the single most important ingredient in AARLand. It might be easy to see AAR writers as the centerpiece of AARLand, but I suspect most writers wouldn't even bother posting here in the first place if they knew there wasn't a thoughtful audience here to respond. Without them, arguably, there would be no AARLand at all. So in that spirit, I've looked hard for a deserving fan to inherit this award.
I used the following criteria to search for a worthy candidate:
1) an active voter, ideally someone who attempted to fill out an ACA ballot as completely as possible
2) a consistent commenter or participant who ventures into more than just one game section
3) while there are many very deserving fans who've won the award before (in some cases more than once) I wanted to find someone previously unrewarded
4) someone who is supportive and positive but not afraid to be constructively critical
It's worth mentioning that nobody I know, me in particular, meets all these criteria
The candidates I came up with:
•
Davy for his selfless support for misterbean's Germany tutorial AAR and creation of a PDF version
•
Soulstrider for his thoughtful commentary and participation in interactive AARs
•
Poulern a relatively new member who seems to have intuitively grasped the ideals I listed above
But a single choice must be made, therefore I have selected
Frymonmon who not only has created many AARS, but always finds time to comment in others' work and participate in many interactive AARs. Congratulations
Frymonmon!
