Da Warpath Medals

For the time being, I have only implemented this one my account (and Arfa's), but will soon be adding medals to a few other moderators who have already signed up.

You can see these medals underneath my member profile to the left <-----

Now, this isn't something for only Moderators. Far from it. This is something for the entire community

If you would like a reminder of what each medal represents, simply hover your mouse over it and you get a little description that shows up for you.

Unfortunately, we don't have any way of doing this automatically, so I'm going to have to ask everyone who should have any of the medals listed below to please sign up for them here! We already have the list of members who have won Member of the Month over the years, so I will be adding those automatically (well, manually, but you don't need to apply for those).

Once we've sorted out the backlog of awarding medals, in the future we will be awarding the medals as they are actually earned. So, if you win MotM in the future, you will automatically have it added to your profile. If you win a painting competition, you'll get that award too!

Unfortunately, there is a maximum limit of 7 medals (due to current constraints with the way the coding works), but we are more than happy for members who qualify for more than 6 medals to place them in their signature.

EDIT: We have now sorted it out so you can have up to 10 medals (in some special cases we will increase this amount)

PS: anyone REALLY nifty with coding who wants to help figure out how to increase the number of medals we can award in the profile, please PM me to discuss the matter

Now, I figured I'd add this as a separate post. So, here are the current medals we have available:

We also have a number of other special medals for winning the medal multiple times, plus a few custom medals for special occasions. And we will be working on more medals for the future. For example, you will notice in Arfa's account that his MotM Medal has a little extra bit, and his Nemesis Campaign medal is Golden. The MotM medal is in reference to a running in-joke we have in the Moderator forum when deciding on MotM, the Arfa "Should win it this month", but can't due to being a Moderator. And his golden Nemesis Campaign medal is due to him being in the Mob of Warlords for that campaign (ie one of the leaders for our players).

Ohhh Shinny things....

Lets see whats on my shopping list

2 MOTM

PS

There is a spam post in the tactics forum that needs to be deleted...

Sweet! We get our virtual tasks paid with digitised shiny things

This should be fun. I wonder how much participation goes up in the next few months with these models as people try to collect 'em all.

EDIT: By the way, when was the last time a MotM was announced?

There we go

Oh, and cheers for spotting the Spambot - I've gone and taken care of it

@Turelio: Yeah, we've been a little slack in regards to MotM for a while... Largely my fault... But now we've got REAL medals for this, I'm going to make sure we get that up and running once more

Nice one Goofs, good to see this roll out. I think for you and Borzag's efforts recently we need a Spamkiller medal

Soooo.......I can see that some of them are ones that you can say "Oh, that's me!". Others, though, I am not sure on the criteria for them. I would love to say that I could get a Contributes to the Tactics section medal, but is that something you get nominated for? I don't want to be accused of tooting my own horn.

With that being said, I was in the A3 campaign and would like one of those medals.

I would love the "contributes to tactics" section, but am not sure if I contribute enough to the hobby section.

I also think your "Blogga of da Month" medal is the coolest, of course. Maybe I should win it one time, just to have it!

Groznit you most certainly qualify for tactics. The idea was for people who have made a recognizable contribution to a certain section to be rewarded.

Hey i thought you said that I could only get 6 medels in my profile...did you guys figureout how to add more???

Not directly yet I'm afraid, 7 seems to be the limit.

I'll admit that it was a fluke on my part to be able to increase it to 7 for your account

I've since been given some advice by Turelio, and I should be able to properly increase the medal count sometime soon

Yay I'm special....

why is Draigs A3 symbol different then mine????

because I'm way more special than you!

I just changed Kurgan's green image to gold for the GMs and faction leaders. You are welcome to one.
