Reason for nomination: Just because they make the effort to answer questions, even obvious ones, without sarcasm or insults, and with genuinely helpful advice, something thats sadly a little lacking lately in the alla community.

Nominated by: Crawlerbasher
Poster's name: ImmortalAlchemist
Poster's server: Garuda
Reason for Nomination: Tummie is a rock of common-sense in a sea of internet. He's level-headed and helpful, and analyzes the game almost to a fault. How long does this have to be? Anywhere from server forums to FFXI main he helps out. And if he does have a problem with something, well, he's not mean about it, whether it's a forum problem or game problem. His posts are backed by said common-sense and actual leg work. He's nice. Just a nice guy.
Good solid poster. Looks for and readily shares information on updates.

Poster's name: VZX
Poster's server: Pandemonium
Reason for Nomination: He's been a well-mannered Allakhazam poster for a good long while, and he's a tremendous asset in the Ranger forum. He does a lot of research and studies the jobs he plays, and provides useful and informative content. I've never seen him answer even the supposedly "dumb" question with anything but friendly respect.
VZX has been one of the most helpful people on the Ranger and Blue Mage forums over the years. He makes an effort to put proof behind his words, instead of using personal opinion and karma. His translations of the Studio Gobli formulas, TP mods, and other mechanics information are proof of this.
Constant provision of fact based information. Particularly with regard to hidden information within the game, that can only be found by pretty hardcore math,extensive testing, or data analysis. This for me has been extremely useful for my Ranger where most of our important stats are hidden.
everything he's done for players trying to learn the mechanics of damage dealing, from translating testing, testing things himself, and explaining what morals one should draw from testing to interested players.

FlixEffect was nominated, but since there was big drama in a past contest when he got nominated and because "putting up with karma bombing" is not a valid POTM reason in my book, I have excluded him from this month's contest.
