New Medal: Endurance

Concise description:
The medal would be awarded for playing in extremely long games.
Bronze: 100+ rounds
Silver: 250+ rounds
Gold: 500+ rounds

would be determined by when you are eliminated, not how long the game lasts, so if you die in round 10, you don't get a medal for the 490 rounds the other people played.

It's still way too easy for a couple of friends to get in a freestyle game... or even a sequential game. All you have to do it agree with someone to wait until round 500 or whatever it is to start.

well, it's also easy for two people to join a bunch of 8 player games and trade off doing their best to make the other win in order to get the unique wins medal.

that is throwing a game and not allowed.

this would encourage 500 round truces.

That's not just throwing games, that's secret diplomacy and against the rules.

Prolonging games for 500 rounds for a medal is not against the rules and very easy to do.

Listen, I love medals. I've got a lot and I want more, but this one just isn't a very good idea. If it's implemented, I'll have it immediately, to be sure. Just as many others will. It's not even for winning long games. It's for just playing in long games.

Nobody looked into this, and wants to point out that the only reason I'm suggesting this is because I have a game at round 484 right now? :P
