Oh I didn't mean linking to the actual stats a soquili has. xDDD! I meant linking to the system the shop already has in place for tracking RPs, which in turn is used to generate stats. I was operating under the assumption soquili spotlights (male and female) generally were awarded for those characters who showed char development etcccc for that particular month, as opposed to a popularity contest (i.e. someone nominating a new soquili because they thought it was pretty, had a pretty looking plot that nevertheless never got off the ground, or whatever.) Figured it'd be easy enough to formulate a 'maybe' list people could nominate from just via a copy-paste from whichever pets got RPed a lot that month. Would leave it up to the shop-goers to investigate those soquili and see what kind of RPs they've been in based on that list, and decide from there (PMing seems to be the popular idea?) who should go in the spotlight.
Again, am not familiar with the system Mouse uses, and far be it from me to recommend her working any harder for free, but if all it is would be sorting within the program she uses for which soquili have RPed the most that month and copying it... that's not that bad? Unless its a running total that doesn't break down into months... in which case, ignore me. xD!
But I thought I would poke a small hole in the 100% issue. Most soquili like that are probably on their way to elderhood, and likewise are prolly being plotted rather extensively by their owners. Including them (as well as those limited RPed soq who have awesome plotlines with traceable progress) would be solved via a write-in option for nominations if their RP stats are no longer being tracked by the existing system. Either the soquili's owner or someone else who noticed them being awesome in RP could do it. Make a thread (with a set start/end time as also seems to be the popular notion so far) where the list is posted, and people can write-in right in there if they want so other people can see and maybe vote for them as well... or PM it to the mule. Voting would just be PMed.
Also, to highlight an earlier point on criteria touched on by The Spoof... what ARE the spotlights rewarded for exactly? For teepees, I always thought it was a mix of design and functionality that appealed to others. For soquili, I thought it was which individual male and female had stood out as characters? That latter assumption is the basis for my suggestion to sort for likely nominees via the existing monthly system for RP tracking. Honestly, am not terribly attached to that particular idea, so feel free to cut it up. But I'd (personally) hate to see the Spotlight for soquili going to characters that are not RPed. ='( !!!
Soooo, in all... any idea that genuinely takes into account RPs as criteria for nomination will get my vote. <33333! It just looked like relying on players completely to notice who has or hasn't been RPing a lot would open the door for bias... and no one wants to see that. ='( !

That sounds like a plan Sya. =)
For what its worth, as someone who used to be quite active with several 100% soqs, an elder, as well as three large-scale, multi-player plots a few years back... I do not support rummaging back into the past to find nominees. It'd be a slap in the face of current RPers. Maybe someone like me worked hard THEN, but I'm not now and the past shouldn't hold any precedence over the present. Perhaps a year end uber spotlight would make that more acceptable, but monthlies should be for the folks working hard that month and the few months previous.
And I dunno, it has always been my thought that the spotlights should highlight the efforts of current players who have been knocking their socks off working on their characters. It is a stretch in my mind to make a soquili eligible for the month based on just one (unless it is a 1379476 page masterpiece) RP, but it works as base criteria.
Personal opinion here, but I wouldn't vote for a soq who only has had one RP done (implying here one rp ever, period) ... but I am a bit old fashioned and like to see some serious effort being put in to characters. It's hard to do that with just one RP imo, you can set an amazing scene in one RP that shows a lot of insight and perhaps an entire stage of character development, but it is seldom indicative of the whole character. I mean, I'll admit to being a bit of a stalker. Someone will post up an interesting plot... I'll go lurk their teepee, click some RP links, read, if I like it I'll hunt around for newer stuff that maybe hasn't been added yet, and if I like that as well I'll post hesitant interest in their plot thread .. or if I won't have time... just keep reading. There are several interesting character arcs that I am following at the moment, and THOSE are the kind of people I'd like to see get their hard work highlighted for the month. They work hard, put a lot of thought in, and do it consistently amid a sea of people like myself who perhaps put some considerable thought in.... but fail to execute.
(Ironically, all of my suggestions and opinions so far keep making my efforts with my own soquili preettyyyy much moot. Lmao. @_@!)
But yeah, the long and the short is... technically I like the suggestion Sya because it'll make life easy, but personally I don't cause I'm a fuddy duddy old stickler. xD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever comes to be, I do look forward to nominating people again. <3
