New Tournament Medals!

by **Pirlo** on Sat Feb 12, 2011 12:22 pm

again.. if we have bronze ---> silver ---> gold medals of tournaments, we'll eventually reach a limit. and this is uncool.. I'd like to see HighlanderAttack's profile having a tourney achievement medal with a number (178) on it stating the number of medals taken. the limit of 30 sucks.. this is my opinion

OK, then, why not let the tournament directors make the decision. Amongst themselves, they should be able to come up with 5 names using whatever criteria they want. If they want to reward 5 people who do great big complex tournaments or 5 who do the most 16 player 1v1, then it has to be up to them.

My original point was that if the site was not going to upgrade the medals then a different way to recognize players can be implemented. After 7 pages of limits and 3 types of trophy, the site said no. A different approach has to be taken. There is obviously enough of a feeling among tournament players and organizers for something to change.

Saying that, I do think that a medal should be awarded to the players who win over the 30. So for HighlanderAttack who has who has 178 wins and 192 tournaments organized (showing), he should have an extra 310 medals. 178+192-60 awarded = 310. On his profile page, it would remain with the same medal jpegs (30 each) but at the top of the medals it would say 419 medals awarded instead of 109.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another way to show appreciation to the best organizers of tournaments would be to give them a title and colour there name. So again, HighlanderAttack would get his name in orange and the title of Tournament Organizer. No extra privileges. Give this to the top 5 organizers. On a certain date each year this can change. Start with the 5 who organized the most tournaments in 2010 and when we get to 2012, the top 5 in 2011 get it. Base this on who organized the most/rescued/ran to completion etc, etc.

These seem simple enough to do as the ability to do it already exists on the site, gives players the extra medals/recognition they deserve and best of all, costs nothing.

we should also have Platinum medals for each of the current medal that would be awarded to members that defeated 1000 unique opponents...

also a rank achievement medal, that would say that you have reached i.e major, that way persons that have been conqueror in the past would have a medal that would show their strength.... everyone's rank goes up and down, a medal should show how highly ranked you have been ?
