Introduction
Hello users, and welcome to the first edition to of the User Spotlight series! I'm shaymin, and I'm here to present to you something that might pique your interest. You see, previously (and even currently), global staff members of Pokemon Showdown! have been nominated for interviews, and chosen based on user vote. But what if things changed this time around? The very purpose of this article is
exactly that! What I'm saying is, this is more or less about the users
for the users. The User Spotlight Series will highlight one user
(preferably more than one user as it gives you more content to write about) that has contributed significantly to the sim, and exactly why they've been chosen for the spotlight.
At any rate, let's begin, shall we? But wait! ...I must highlight a few important things first before I get into the meat and bones of this article.
So, how do I make it into User Spotlight?
This is a question that I can definitely foresee more people asking, and while the explanation is pretty simple, the execution of such is actually a lot harder. It's really the clearest example of "easier said than done" that I can illustrate. Anyway, to be featured in the User Spotlight, you must contribute significantly to PS, or otherwise be a very noteworthy user. This means contributing in terms of sprites, artwork, or other such areas, or be a huge policy figure in multiple rooms (or a
very note-able one)
(pre-reqs to be actually decided and that's what I'm concerned about. If you are too stringent, it is likely that you won't get many entries) The requirements are rather strict, but they're very do-able and not in any sense impossible. If users feel like you deserve a mention in the User Spotlight Article, they are free to send a PM to
(insert user(s) here. Honestly, I'd prefer this to be Player staff to ensure maximum objectivity as well as activity with this article; if any other user were to be chosen and they fall off the face of the earth or whatever, then this project stops in its tracks which would not be beneficial in the slightest. If we still get requests from this, at least we can re-assign it)! You can also nominate a user who you yourself feel deserves a mention here, and it will be determined by
x if said nominee would deserve a place in this article.
So, in other words, contribute as much as you can to PS! and, who knows, maybe YOU will be the next user in our User Spotlight!
So who are the wonderful people in this month's User Spotlight?
Glad you asked! Without further ado, who are the individuals who stood out to
x as a user that should be featured? Well...
(insert user here)!
(short description of why they're chosen, and what they do for PS!)
(closing, have a transitioning sentence here to lead into the next person)
(insert user here)!
(rinse, repeat)
Conclusion
(thank users for their time, etc, kind of add a few extra points here, things like that. Any last minute material not covered by any of the previous paragraphs should definitely be mentioned here).
