We’re happy to announce the recipients of our inaugural Player of the Month award! Each month, our Game Masters will choose a special member of the community that we believe has made some great contributions. It’s a neat way to get to know some of your fellow players (if you don’t know them already) ^_^

You might be wondering, “How can I be picked as player of the month?” There is no secret to being selected - just have fun, be nice to other players and help make the community an even better place!

May 2008 Player of the Month - Fiesta: KireiYosei

How long have you been playing Fiesta?
Since early August 2007 (closed beta).

 

What is your favorite color and why?
A tie between pink and green. Pink, because it defines “girly”, which is what I am, and green, because it reminds me of nature.

 

What’s your favorite map on Fiesta and why?
Burning Rock, even though it wasn’t supposed to be released that one time. It reminded me and my friends of Mount Doom in Lord of The Rings. We plan on making a LOTR parody there someday.

May 2008 Player of the Month - Secret of the Solstice: Sawyer

What is your favorite event and why?
I like Solstice Survivor mostly because of the special drops, the socializing, and the challenge of not getting completely pwnd in the first 5 minutes.

 

What is your favorite item in the Secret of the Solstice?
I love my bunny ears and angel wings xD

 

Do you rather play solo or party and why?
It depends on the mood I’m in. Sometimes I just need to fight on my own while other times interacting and chatting with my friends is a must!

May 2008 Player of the Month - Bread ‘n Butter: lunardice

What is your favorite color and why?
Purple, but a light purple. I’ve always liked the color since I was young. It’s a color I don’t see too often either, and different from most common favorite colors. I like to be unique, and not be the same as everyone else when possible.

 

What is the longest you have ever played BnB in one sitting?
That would be about 10 hours. Yes, I know I am addicted to the game. It’s so much fun! I started to play it one day and when it was finally 1 am and had to go to sleep, first thing I looked forward to in the morning: Bread ‘n Butter!

 

What is your favorite mini game and why?
Hmm…that’s a hard one. I would have to say the chocolate drops game with Carson in it. It’s fun to try and reach above the 30 and not make a giant mistake with the fire balls. I set goals to beat my record of how many I have caught. Trying to beat the current record of 34 at the moment.

I wanna hatch all the poyo

To hatch them is my real quest

Find ten youll get a pointy hat

(poyomon gotta hatch em all)
My poyo’s new
But i wanted a blue pocu

Poyo your my best friend

Gotta hatch em all, Gotta hatch em all
PO YO MON!
