Well after slaving over hot pixels for the past half hour or so I've sent off medals for the top 3 good/neutral/evil as well as a new contender for the mod-submission medal. Hope they get picked
All of them are in 20x20 gif format as asked, although I noticed later that the dither seems to have fudged the plain grey background with a bit of noise, but it's nothing that visible at normal size...
This is a specialized world. Why would Stardock want to combine medal ideas with graphics? Let the best idea people forward the best ideas, and the best graphics people submit new graphics. Demanding both at once may get you neither at top quality.
I'm an idea man, so let me present a few ideas.
1) Champion of the Light - Player holds a position in the top 25 "Good Players"
1a) Defender of the Light - Player holds a position between 26 and 100 among Good Players
2) Secretary of the United Planets - Player holds a position in the top 25 "Neutral Players"
2a) United Planets Special Envoy - Player holds a position between 26 and 100 among Neutral Players
3) Chief of Secret Police - Player holds a position in the top 25 "Evil Players"
3a) Secret Police Interrogator - Player holds a position between 26 and 100 among Evil players.
4) Logistics Champion - Player holds a position in the top 25 of either Huge or Gigantic maps overall standings.
4a) Logistics Expert - Player holds a position between 26 and 100 on overall standings for Huge or Gigantic maps, and is not currently rated as Logistics Champion.
5) Strategic Champion - Player holds a position in the top 25 of either Medium or Large maps overall standings.
5a) Strategic Expert - Player holds a position between 26 and 100 on overall standings for Medium or Large maps, and is not currently rated as Strategic Champion.
6) Tactical Champion - Player holds a position in the top 25 of either Tiny or Small maps overall standings.
6a) Tactical Expert - Player holds a position between 26 and 100 on overall standings for Tiny or Small maps, and is not currently rated as Tactical Champion.
7) Galactic Medal of Valor - Player has submitted at least ten wins apiece for all six map sizes.
8) Political Ribbon - Player has submitted at least three wins apiece utilizing all standard political parties. (Perhaps a second tier of the award for doing this in Maso games).
9) Campaign Ribbon - Player has submitted wins for all of the ten new scenarios with Metaverse tracking. (Perhaps a second tier of the award for doing this in Maso games).
10) Victory Ribbon - Player has submitted at least ten wins apiece for each type of victory condition.
There, a few ideas to chew over. I have even more, although some of my ideas would require additional variables to be tracked.
Ben there is no rush. expect it to run for at least a couple of weeks. or until there are no more submissions. All the time people are putting forward ideas and medals it will continue.
As a "piss poor scorer", I'd like to see the following medals awarded:
Lowest Score for 1 Week
All Time High Score
Drengin Net User
Altarian Prophecy Tester
And how about top 10's each week for each skill category? That way you wouldn't have to worry about making scoring harder or easier based on a person's scoring ability.
Another idea would be to use something similar to following to grid to create overall categories:
