Debating about caps on virtual medals (non tangible and all in all meaningless for the most part) is always going to be a he said she said opinion thing. There is no right or wrong as everyone has their opinion. If this site wants to do what is right it would let the people vote on as many ideas that we can come up with. It would not be hard to accomplish this. If you do not do it this way, the mods basically are dictators and you will do it our way and like it kind of people.

Mods only make suggestions to owners and programmers.

For myself, I make suggestions so that the programmer knows all sides of an argument. It's not really our choice and, historically, we aren't even aware of an update until just before release anyway. By that time, what meaningful input can be given? I'm hoping this will change in the future. However, the mods are currently, most definitely, not in charge of updates or how, when, and if they are implemented.


Yes. We are hoping that this will change in the (near) future. A system is being set up that allows us to facilitate the movement of information between the users and the admin via the mods. We have sort of used that for this suggestion, and I think the result has been a tentative success.

As a result of everyone's discussion, we have come back to a little bit of a middle ground between the high levels that I originally suggested and the more generous views of some of the users that have posted here. Please note that the plan is still not to award 1 medal per achievement, but to bring the levels down a little bit and hopefully make a few more people happy.

What do you guys think about a level system like the following:

Cartography:
35 (XXXV)
40 (XL)
45 (VL)
50 (L)

Tournament Organizing and Victories:
50 (L)
100 (C)
150 (CL)
200 (CC)

Clan Wins
40 (XL)
50 (L)
75 (LXXV)
100 (C)

This version allows for 4 additional medals per category, keeps the "good looks" of the roman numerals, adjusts the requirements to loosely track the difficulty in achieving medals, and allows for the "prestige-factor" of the leveled system.

This was not my idea, it was a combination of ideas from the users, department leaders, other moderators and the admin. But I, for one, support it.

I fully realize that we're never going to make everyone happy, but is this at least an acceptable compromise?

I could definitely agree with this system. It accomplishes all the goals you define in the highlighted paragraph.

although i am not in favour of increasing the cap at all - i like the 4 tiers, especially how it is weighted against hosting tournaments compared to making maps.

Limits are ridicoulous, the first cap for maps is 35 and then next is 10 maps more, wtf?

Same goes for other categories.

It's harder to get to first cap, then others.

Maps should be: 15,25,40,60
Clans:30
Tourneys:30

Run with it! Doesn't look like we can talk you guys into changing it to arabic numerals or a bronze, silver, gold system, so this probably a good compromise.

We can always talk about it, but I don't think they're going to go with either Arabic numerals or a bronze, silver, gold system, so a modified roman numerals system is probably what we will get either way.

You have a different idea about raising the medal cap. We are discussing it here. Just because not everyone agrees with you does not mean your opinion isn't welcome.

Your suggestion is to have either bronze, silver or gold medals for all. That is seriously bad as lots of people will lose medals. How will you or the site explain to them the reason behind the reduction of medals.
As for the other one, Arabic numbers, I have already said I would support this if you want to make the 6993 medals that would be needed. This would take way to long to implement, cost to much if an artist had to be employed for it and be different enough from what we have now to cause some contention from players who like the status quo.

Tournament Winner/organizer, GA, etc, Medals

Postby Armandolas on Tue Jun 04, 2013 8:26 am

Sorry if this is posted somewhere else, but i couldnt find it

Concise description:
  • Show real number of won medals, instead of limit it to 30


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • It will show a more accurate medal list in profile

I have requested a status update on this one from the admin. My understanding is that it has been worked on quite a bit, but stalled out somewhere along the way. More info forthcoming hopefully :)

Trophy/medal

Postby harvmax on Fri Oct 04, 2013 2:09 pm

Trophy count

Just wanted to make a suggestion and have never done so before. First just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make this an incredible site. Love all of the new changes that have been happening.

As for my suggestion. When viewing trophies such as Clan Acheivement or total Tourney victories the total is in Roman numerals and only goes to XXX(30). This is fine but doesn't give full credit to the individuals who have won more than this. I understand that the length of numbers in Roman numerals can take up more space so I was simply wondering about switching to a numeric value and somehow (and this is too you guys who can do miracles with computer coding) making them more legible. In other words if you have won 42 tourneys it could read 42. Again I only bring this up because I have noticed that XXX (30) is the maximum. I think we could do more to honor the guys who have worked/played hard to have higher totals.

Thanks for your time.
