Votes for May 2014

Theme: Magical Heroes and Villains
For the month of May, we are specifically looking for characters with a "magic" theme-- including costume, origin, powers, etc.

Special rules are in effect for this month.

*The winner for Theme Month will be determined by moderator consensus. As such, vote cutoff will take place at midnight, 1st May 2014, to allow time to deliberate. One vote per user. You must sign your votes (use ~~~~ or provide a link to your user page), but a reason isn't required this time unless you want to give one. As moderators will be acting as judges for this contest, they will not be allowed to place votes. An article only needs one vote to be counted as a nomination. If a page is already spoken for, then you must choose another. Nominating your own page is still allowed.

Nominations have now closed and have been posted on the main PotM page. The winner will be announced on May 7th.

The most recent entry of the Admin Blog touches on the reason why we've opted to change things up this month. Give it a read! --Δ Epelesker (talk) 10:08, 9 April 2014 (MST)

The previous discussion has been removed. From this point forward, please keep comments-- especially those related to the state of the PotM-- civil and constructive. Failure to do so may result in consequences. --Δ Epelesker (talk) 22:26, 10 April 2014 (MST)

Please remove Lash for consideration this month. Personally, I find the actions of some people regarding something that should be cute and silly as pretty juvenile, and as such have no desire to participate in things such as the PotM and encourage all players who agree to do the same. While I appreciate the player nominating my character (seriously, it was super kind) I have zero interest being a part of something that creates such a divisive element in the community. While I have won the PotM before, I have for a longer time been against it as it tends to create issues between players. It is ridiculous and I'm frankly tired of seeing grown men (and women) acting like squabbling infants over it. Something that should be light hearted and fun is anything but. - @pallas001

- I think you should reconsider Pallas. Yes, I know there is plenty of BS to go around, but the only way for things to change is if decent people set the example. The page mods are trying something new and I'm interested to see how it goes. PotM needs to change how it's handled and this is an experiment in that. Colleen went to the trouble of creating a forum post inviting people to join the PRIMUS community, the least I can do is pay attention and browse the Category:Magic User. -- Sterga 13:06, 11 April 2014 (MST)

At the end of the day you can't please all of the people all of the time. There's bound to be future conflict, it's human nature. You can keep POTM going, just be prepared for more situations like this and be prepared to deal with them categorically. -- Swixer

I like the 'Theme of the Month' idea. In the future it might be handy to put a link to some of the category pages relating to the theme somewhere on the page to give people an idea of where to start looking. - Witty

Oh, that's definitely a good idea to make the process a little easier. --Δ Epelesker (talk) 17:58, 15 April 2014 (MST)
