Nuclear Spoils Medal

[Dako]

It seems only fair that if you are handing out medals for one type of spoils, you should be handing them out for Escalating, Flat Rate, and No Spoils victories as well.

Nooooo then I would have to work on flat rate too! Id never quit playing , im too obsessed over medals :D

You can also get up to 30 contest and general medals ;-).

looks like JR24 now has to come back. Well done by all. and thanks!

[RjBeals]

did wm make that?

[jrh_cardinal]

oh no, I don't want to play a ton of nuclear games . I guess have a while to wait, have a lot more medals I can get first. But I won a nuclear game, so I'm one of the first with the medal (even though it's only bronze)

In unrelated news, the neutral player now appears bold in the game log to make it easier for you to notice. Thanks to Dragonah for suggesting this! Non-player usernames are also bold in the game chat now.

Like!

This medal comes at a very inopportune time for me. Since I was medal-hunting up until April, while this setting was already out, and I am very angry about this, I'll take this opportunity to air my grievances.

Why is this medal coming out now, and not 6 months ago, when the setting was created? I could have played my FS manual speed 3-man assassin games with nuclear cards!

But seriously, why do we have a nuclear medal and not an escalating, no spoils, and flat rate medal? Makes no sense to me.



I'm not going to go back to those FS 3-mans, so I'll probably end up getting this medal eventually by starting lots of nuclear quads and farming noobs, even though I don't really want to...

More medals would possibly be nice, but strategy for nuclear is totally different than any of the other medals, so having one for it does make sense even if the site doesn't award medals for the other spoils.

No-spoils pretty much ensures that it's going to be difficult to break a bonus once taken, which makes it a build game; and escalating requires surviving until (and through) higher cashes, which makes it a semi-build game. Flat rate can also be a semi-build game because you have to be able to withstand a 10-cash against a 4-cash.

Nuclear, once spoils are cashable, is totally *not* a build game. It's more of a bait-n-switch game, setting the opponent up to take the region you're prepping to nuke (meow! squeak!), and making sure you clear the heck out of the regions you know you'll have to nuke.

Nuclear spoils are not the "most unique (yes, I know that term is wrong to use)" type of spoils... all the types are very different from each other. In fact, if there were to be spoils that would be "most unique," it would have to be escalating.

You are in left field as usual. Nuclear is no different than any other type. All types take different skill sets.

I hope that this answers your question

Done!

Other than the 6 game types, we don't make medals for the more popular game options.

As nuclear is hasn't been so popular as the other 3 they decide to make a medal for nuclear to make it more popular.Assassin wasn't popular but when the medal come out more assassin started...

Ah, I see now...


I guess I'm just upset because I could have worked nuclear into my medal hunting if this had come out a few months ago... now I've got to hunt for a single setting.


Thanks for the response, DE!

Escalating is certainly not as simple as you make out. Especially with multiple players (and with the addition of freestyle, it's more than requiring survival), but you've played enough escalating games to figure that out - so I won't labour you with reasons. But freestyle escalating is certainly more to do with strategy than you would think, you should try it out.
