Give Medals for Mafia Games [Done]

Postby greenoaks on Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:43 am

Concise description:
  • give a medal to the winner of mafia games

Specifics/Details:
  • same as winning a tournament, winning a mafia game entitles the winner to a shiny medal

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • it would definately attract more people to mafia games

The medals are all for the game-aspect of conquer club, not the forums.

Expect an announcement over the next week or so about some official love coming to the Mafia and Forum Games area. ;)

I'll go ahead and move this to submitted, as it is already in the works.

Also, I merged your two similar threads together.

that is incorrect,

InsomniaRed recently awarded general contribution medals for those who participate in live chat. a few months before that i received one for my efforts in the submissions forum.

i was tempted to do it this way but then thought there might be different comments/objections to players or organisers getting one

is there any chance Victor could give us a teaser of what is to come in the next CC newsletter ?

That would be nice I guess, but the quality of player to play mafia might suffer. Too many people would play just to get medals and possibly ruin a good game otherwise.

Don't worry, they won't be handed out just willy nilly ;)

Those who get one will deserve it, trust me on that.

If that's the case, it's good enough for me. I was skeptical when I saw this as I had the same thoughts as Safari (and I'm still not sure why we'd need medals for Mafia), but lets see how this goes.

we don't need medals for mafia, but then we don't need medals for tournaments either.

for the record i have never played a mafia game, too scared i'd embarrass myself. i just figured they would be just as chuffed to be recognised for their contributions and achievements as people on other parts of the Conquer Club website are.

Eh...it's a small group. I think we're more interested in finding scum than we are medals.

I fully understand your idea and I'm glad you rate us this high, but we all know that there are some people who are a little crazy for medals and I would really hate the quality to go down... even more.

My advice would be like Live Chat. Longevity and quality should dictate the medal consideration, not for every win or something, that would be ridiculous.

100% agreed - if we'll give medals for every win, there are going to be a bunch of medal hunters who will only care about the medals and who will ruin the quality and in the long run this forum would be likely to die... And I do not want that.

As Safari said, some people deserve for their long term commitment (Edocsil, Mandalorian, strike wolf, Safari, etc.), but they would have to be sparse and reward quality rather than quantity.
But... It was so artistically done.

agreed with above. Medals could work but only if it was for really really dedicated members.

Regarding the "hints" in the newsletter: The changes should be coming on quick enough that that won't be needed.

Hopefully, everything will be live in the next week or two.

What they didn't tell you was that the annoucement is going to be a permaban for Sully for both of those forums.

Please no. I don't want medal hunters playing mafia just to accumulate medals, or starting threads about how they were the first to x amount of games with x amount of score to achieve the medal, in which case they'd probably submarine anyway. kthxbai.

I think they realise the restrictions are necessary. I also notice Victor and Strike are in on this, so we can assume they guided it into the right direction. It would be great for the players who kept Mafia forum alive to get some recognition for their efforts.
