Why are people returning to the site to win a medal they dont know exists?

please, wing... stop making sense... and what is an extended period of time? should i receive medals for returning after each of my three 6 month bans? what about the 3 month bans? what about the 1 month ban? what about the year i went on sabbatical and didn't participate? do i get one for that? what about all the members that have returned prior to this self serving suggestion? do they get them or only from this point moving forward? so many questions, all will go unanswered... bad idea, really hope it is a joke... the black jesus has shot this horrible suggestion down...-Jésus noir

Why does Owen deserve medals for jumping on my astute observation?

I need my shield back. Someone who used to be in charge of the Fallen made the dumb decision to make the Fallen avatar be default whenever players get added. Gonna have to find it.

take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

But you should. Start a suggestion for a 10 year veteran medal!

How about long service medals for players with 10 years+ experience - but people like Metsfanmax would get a higher medal than me for example.

Bronze - has played a game 10 years after their first
Silver - has played x number of games in that 10 years
Gold - has played a turn in every calendar year for 10 years.

However not sure whether we should keep introducing more and more medals. Perhaps for each new medal created we could get rid of another medal. This would keep the idea of a medal rare enough to still be fun to chase. This is obviously a seperate suggestion.

To be fair, I was premium the whole time. Should that be a qualification for the medal?

Medals for taking turns in x number of consecutive years seems worthwhile and may keep the medal hungry here.

2 years bronze
5 years silver
10 years gold

Although, its an image on a screen which is meaningless, but nevermind.

i think there should also be a medal for certain people who leave the site, perhaps two - one for a voluntary departure, the other for a ban.

Medals for participation.

NO medals for absenses.
