(Insert art here)​

Welcome to the SS NU edition of NU Player of the Week! In this well-liked and prestigious Forum Project, I will interview a variety of knowledgeable/up and coming SS NU players, as well as players with some of the most inspirational legacies to ever touch the NU tier. Each week, participants will be able to ask the interviewee questions in the previous week's thread, and those questions and answers will be posted after the interview.

However, this is not the same as the previous NU Player of the Weeks! To make these interviews more interactive and to let these legendary NU gamers show off their voice if they want, I have decided to host the interviews live on my twitch! I will have the time and date in the OP, as well as a permanent link to my twitch in this thread! NU community members can also use the twitch chat to make suggestions/ask additional questions if they want to as well, adding a level of involvedness never seen before!

If you want to add suggestions on who I should interview next, you can put them in the weekly threads! Even if your question does not get asked live/you are not able to watch it live, the players will try to answer as many questions as they can in the thread afterwards to include everyone who asks! I will also be looking at comments when I upload the VOD of the stream onto my YouTube Channel and will have a link to each one in this post.
