A New medal

[fairman]

Well I won't respect all the lines of the suggestions because mine is really simple.

What about a new medal (many people loves medals ... well I do), based on your CC anniversary.

Bronze Medal : Member since 2 years
Silver Medal : Member since 5 years
Gold Medal : Member since 10 years
Platinium Medal : 20 years.

I know that today the max is 12 years.
We can discuss the freemium/premium criteria (I would be for premium), and the period of time.

It's a good motivation for people in my opinion. It's a deserved medal that proove our relationship with CC

So someone whose offline for 8 out of 10 years would still get the medal based on join date?

[fairman]

No if you based on number of month/years as premium?

[djelebert]

I support this idea, based on premium.

[Mad777]

I have seen Premium being out while their Premium was still running and for several month, hard to make count, I have also seen player who quit and their account being sit for several months, this to be also hard to count...

[Swifte]

would be cool to have a way to call out the folks that have been around a long time, something on their profile that stands out. I just don't know if it's actually medal worthy for reasons mentioned above.

[betiko]

I don t know, but your criteria seems like way too much
Bronze 1 year
Silver 3 years
Gold 6 years
Platinum 10 years

For example?
I m not totally sold by the idea tbh... our join date is on our profile when we post or on our wall..

would rather have medals for all the different game settings, if it were up to llama - which it isn't.

Please mail the gold you would have used for my medal to :

123 Sesame st
Beverly Hills 90210

How about instead of premium you use number of days in which a player has active games. So you might be premium for 10 years but played few games a year.
So the medal will be for active players, not for premium players.

[DJENRE]

I support the main idea

About suggestions it seems to me that goranz' option is maybe the best :

But I'm not sure there is a way / a program to sort this out into CC....

[mrswdk]

And the medal needs to take into account previous usernames right?

There should be a medal for most accounts, as that represents a greater contribution to CC’s gameload and active player count than one long-term slacker.

Programmatically its and easy solution Its easy to find out when game started and when it ended and which players participated and you only need to be in one game per day(this is only needed for initial data). Once initial data has been filled its even more easy(Get all players that have active games and add a day to their count on a daily basis).

The problem with basing it on the time a player has been premium is that said information is probably not available.
Why would CC keep track of how many months I've been premium since 2009?

how else would they know who to dole out the good dices to?

[demonfork]

There should also be a medal for joining the site and also a medal for having medals.... That way everyone that first joins the site will automatically get 2 medals.

[morleyjoe]

If the idea is to reward those who've been around for a long time, why not just based on how many games you've completed?

[Donelladan]

Because some player play more game in one year than others in 10 years !

I think if it is done, it should be given solely based on the date we joined the website, regardless of premium or activity.

Someone that play for 2 years, stop for 4 years, then comes back, does deserve the medal as well as someone that plays for 6 year straight, imo. After all we'd like to see everyone comes back so might as well give them a shiny medal.
