Chess Player of the Month June 2011

     Do you know someone who needs to be mentioned? Well you've come to the right place. Join this month's Chess Player of the Month for June 2011! (aka CPOTM) The rules are that you can nominate anyone on chess.com for whatever reason. Whether it would be friendly, humor, or personality, they can be nominated. However, please try to keep is positive about your nominated person.

     Each person can nominated up to 4 nominated members. You HAVE TO SAY why you want to nominate he/she or you will be ignored. If a member that you want to nominate has already been nominated, do not say: "I second the nomination!" or "I etc. the nomination." However, you can say another reason why you think that person should be nominated. I cannot be nominated. You cannot nominate yourself. Those who have won the other CPOTM contests cannot win again.

     The past winners are:

veggiegirlie, haddad56, deckers1066, Alan_Tudor, LisaV, heinzie, goldendog, ilikeflags, OmarCayenne, blackfirestorm666, batgirl, bigpoison, Kacparov, echecs06

so they cannot be nominated again. It follows the same rules as the other Chess Player of the Month forum topics I have posted. 

      As for the voting rules, we will be vote on the last week(s) of this month, depending if we have a lot of nominated members or not. You will have 2 votes and cannot vote for yourself. However, you can't use both your votes for the same person. Both votes do not need to be used. Also, I want to make it clear that there is no advertising to vote for one member for it will not be fair for the member(s) not advertised. If you do advertise, you will be blocked until the end of this month AND next month, and the nominated player you have advertised will be removed from the list.

     I want to make it clear that I do understand that I cannot control one's actions from advertising, but at the same time, they should always take a look at the first post of this thread. From now on I will not be responsible for your actions, so beware. Spamming will be taken seriously so if you spam, you will be blocked until the end of the month.

     Finally, all of you have to know that this is for fun and it is just a game.The purpose is to meet new members, create new friends, and see the personalities of the people around chess.com. It might be a popularity contest, but in the past, I have seen members nominate new members to chess.com who they thought were amazing friends. Feel free to send me personal messages about any ongoing problems. The winner will receive a trophy for winning this month. 

     It is now June so get ready to nominate! Any questions?

I nominate TheGrobe to keep Canada from going on strike.

I nominate Estragon for being consistently interesting

ChessMarkstheSpot for chess news

oinquarki for being funny at least half the time, which is a lot considering how many times he tries

MissJean for seeming to inspire quite a bit of activity in the forums lately, yet not being a jerk

WellRead, because there's so much of him

I'm nominating trysts because some of the stuff she writes causes me to catch my breath.

Yeah, trysts ought be nominated whether she likes it or not.

If I advertise for trysts now does that mean she will get booted from the nominations? Or do I have to wait for the voting period before I can advertise and get her removed from the list?
