   Hello Illyrians,
Today we have launched an Illyriad Player Spotlight program. The purpose of the program is to encourage and celebrate players who contribute to the community in a meaningful and helpful fashion. It is our (the dev team's) way of saying thank you to those standout players who make Illyriad what it is today. 

For more info about the program and how you can nominate someone, visit the Player Spotlight page of our website.

Our first honoree is active forum warrior (known for his brightly colored text), Illy blog owner/awesome animated .gif maker and taunter of horrific beasts named Audrey..... SunStorm! Go check out his interview at our dev blog.

	What happened to the hands off approach? Celebrating certain players seems to go against that ideal. I agree players like Sun need to be celebrated, it's just too bad the community couldn't do it itself. R.

	This is certainly an interesting development, but in my opinion a very dangerous one. It certainly clouds the boundary of dev impartiality or it is an easily-gamed popularity contest. And I don't relish Luna's task of balancing quality against quantity over a long term. Putting that aside, however, I do congratulate SunStorm. My opinion (and that of my fellow Harmless Directors) is easily ascertained by his recent acceptance into Harmless, and subsequent promotion to "Full Member" in less than 90 days--a title that often takes several months to acquire at best.

	/me is but a humble player.... Can I recommend names of others that are far more deserving? (the list might get long)
