Too Long; Didn't ReadWhat can I do this week?
A Word from the Monarch
Wintreath's Most Mentioned, Part 1
The reveal is actually below!
Welcome to the conclusion of Wintreath's Most Mentioned, where I rank the most prominent and influential Wintreans based on the most certain marker of prominence and influence: the number of mentions in 19 editions of this publication between January and June. Last week we covered the first five members on our ranking. If you missed that edition you can read it here! If you'd like to read the story of how Wintreath's Most Mentioned came to be, you can check it out here.This week, we reveal the top 5 and learn who is Wintreath's Most Mentioned, so let's get started!
SvipjothThane of RoleplayCo-Director of WARPP
#5: Svipjoth burst onto the scene after winning the Thane of Roleplay election last December, having successfully revived our roleplaying guild (now named Rollspelskra) and led it through several successful roleplays since. Thanks to her efforts, RP on the forums are at highs unseen since 2015, and looks to be growing from there. She also Co-Director of WARPP, won Wintreat's Finest in December and May, and is a major force in roleplaying outside of her position. Her dedication to RP is unprecendented, and it shows in the impact that she's had in that area of our community.
Neon AbigailAnime Princess of ChaosHost of Werewolf 26: A New Adventure in Old London
#4: Neon Abigail has become one of our most familiar faces since returning in late February, especially when it comes to Werewolf. Neon hosted Werewolf 26: A New Adventure in Old London, ran as a candidate for Thane of Werewolf in what became one of the most contested elections in our history, and has been a player in every other Werewolf game since her return. She's also one of the most active people in our community in general on both the forums and the Discord, making her one of our most visible and vital members.
MichiJarl of CultureDelegate of Wintreath
#3: Michi has a long history of major contributions to the community, from bringing Werewolf to Wintreath to trying out other kinds of games to posting game reviews and updating his own publication, The Posh Penguin. Throughout this period Michi has served as Jarl of Culture, continuing to build on his vast cultural legacy, and also as Delegate of our NationStates region, which he took on because he'd never done it before and as usual has excelled at. Between this, his knowledge on just about every aspect of Wintreath, and his roles in the Cabinet and Administration, very little happens in Wintreath without his usual positive and light-hearted input.
WintermootMonarch and Founder
#2: As Monarch and Founder of Wintreath, it's not surprising to see Wintermoot near the top of a most-mentioned list. Nearly nine years after founding Wintreath, Wintermoot continues to develop technical improvements for Wintreath such as the new Werewolf system in January and orientation profile fields in June. He also devotes as much time to being part of as many aspects of Wintreath as possible, from recruitment to Werewolf to CAH nights. Most importantly, he considers himself the guardian of Wintreath's principles and ideals, and also happens to put this publication together every week.
MarzipanFormer Jarl of Regional Affairs
#1: Since returning to Wintreath in March, Marzipan has almost single-handedly revived Wintreath's gaming scene as Thane of Gaming by organizing game nights, creating the Dungeon Masters civil service guild, and planning new kinds of games and events. They were pivotal in planning our Pride Month events, and ran several of them themselves with great success. Beyond that, Mars is one of our friendlest, most active, and most vibrant members. Only months back in the community, it's safe to say that Wintreath would not be what it is now without them, and that's why they are deservingly Wintreath's Most Mentioned.
And there you have it, the who's who in Wintreath based on the number of times they were mentioned in The Frosty Bugle. As I said last week, it's a little out there to base a ranking on number of mentions, but because The Frosty Bugle covers everything that goes on in Wintreath, it became a genuine listing of deserving people who have really made a difference in our community. As before, to everyone on our list, thank you for helping to make Wintreath into what it is today, by what you've done and most importantly by who you are.Until next time, stay frosty.-Winter
