After an extended contributor search, we have finally settled on the newest voice to join the cast here at FN. It wasn’t an easy choice and I spent a lot of time deliberating over the many quality submissions we received. But in the end we have settled on…Vintage Flame!
A frequent commenter around these parts, VF has been a quality member for the FN community for a long time. He was extremely passionate about becoming the next writer on the site and his submission (What makes an elite player…elite?) garnered a lot of positive votes and the most discussion amongst any of those submitted.
VF brings a rosier perspective to the team relative to my own more critical take, so I also felt his presence would bring a bit more balance to the overall feel of the site. He’s also excellent at engaging people in both the comment section and on twitter, which is becoming increasingly important in this game these days.
Welcome aboard Vintage.
PS – Thank you again to everyone who expressed interest in the FN contributor position and submitted entires. I was overwhelmed with the response to my modest request and think the Flames fan-sphere may be adding some strong new voices in the very near future.
Congrats Vintage! Looking forward to reading your work here! Congrats to everyone else as well you all did a good job. Hey Vintage… do you wanna? 🙂
Congratulations Vintage. Well deserved.
Thanks guys! I also would like to congratulate all the contributors. There were some GREAT articles in there, and gave me, as a fan, a lot to consider as well. Good job all!

Kent do I get a finders fee for bringing him to FN, and introducing him to twitter? Now that he’s a complete addict to both?
For sure. I’ll give you a percentage of his monthly pay.
Haha – nice, I’d settle for beer though.

Great job VF! Looking forward to your next article.

Congrats FV. I agree you are a worthy addition to the family. I wouldn’t be at all disappointed if you took Kent to task once in a while to keep him honest
Poop … meant VF…
Sorry. That task is beyond everyone.
Thanks Z…
I don’t think I’m ready to tackle the pride leader just yet… but I’ve never backed away from a challenge. I’m sure I still have lots to learn from Kent.. [Or do I have to call you Mr. Wilson now?]
Congrats Vintage.
Well written article and well-deserved appointment.
Thanks Ryan. Hope you enjoy the latest one as well! #PumpingMyOwnTires
To start off, congrats to Vintage Flame. I’m looking forward to reading your work on a regular basis here at Flames Nation. Congratulations dude! You certainly earned it!
Lastly, I just want to thank Kent for putting on this little competition. I had a great time drawing up my article as well as reading all the other entries. Every article submitted was a quality piece of work, so props to everyone who was a finalist.
Thanks Taylor.
I have to agree with you. The whole process was alot of fun and it was neat to read the different opinions from all the entries.
Sorry about what happened to you in the comment section. I wish I had caught that sooner as a moderator.. Before it got out of hand.
And yes folks…that is the real Taylor Rocca above.
Thanks Kent. I appreciate the endorsement. Hopefully people will take me seriously here despite the fiasco that happened this past week.
