Project RMT of the Month V1: September & October

[Simia]

RMT of the Month​

The aim of this project is to generate attention for people who put effort into making quality RMTs. There are a lot of teams posted that are well-built and presented but left unappreciated, and RMT of the Month looks to bring them into the spotlight.

Concept

• Every month, official Team Raters will monitor the RMTs posted in their respective tiers.
• A few will be chosen that the RMT staff feel exemplify the qualities of an excellent RMT.
• These RMTs will be posted in this thread, along with a paragraph explaining why the particular team was selected. This will allow posters to gain an idea of what constitutes high-quality RMTs, and hopefully consider these aspects when posting their own teams.

Prizes

• The selected teams will be announced in the RMT Discord server and in the RMT room on PS.
• They will also be recorded in the Hall of Fame, which will be maintained in the OP for each week.
• Being selected also increases the chance of having your RMT added to Team Showcase, subject to review.

Requirements

• Make sure your team is viable and effective. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or lacks any kind of success, it won't have a high chance of being selected. It doesn't have to be archive worthy though, and it doesn't have to have peaked at #1 - a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
• Your team should be well-presented. If you put effort into presenting your team attractively, people will be more willing to rate it. We appreciate it when you take time to work on the quality of your RMT, as it enhances the quality of the forum.
• Be nice and receptive to people's opinions - no one likes to rate the team of a close-minded person.

After discussing this, we ultimately decided to remove the descriptions from RMT's of the month. We have several reasons for this, including:

- Needing descriptions for multiple tiers in which we lack raters for
- Lacking the manpower to prevent the project from falling behind (descriptions took some time because we don't have people for every tier)
- Descriptions not being as necessary when users can click and read the RMT instead to understand why it was chosen
