Forum Award System is Live! First medal goes to tournament winner jmizzle7

[Scaredgirl]

I'm proud to introduce our new forum award system.

Awards are small icons that can be seen under your name (and other info) in post view.

jmizzle7 won the tournament held last weekend so he has been awarded the first "Weekly Tournament Winner" medal. Here you can see what the medal looks like once awarded: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1923.msg19769#msg19769 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1923.msg19769#msg19769) If you mouse-over the icon, you will see what the award is for.

Right now we have only 4 rewards but more are coming later. Medal is for weekly tournament winner and trophies are for league winner, second and third place.

I'm hoping we can start a new revamped League soon and the winners will get trophies.

If you have ideas on other awards, post them here.

Card designer? Idea Giver? God Creator? Spammer? Troll of the Year? Most experienced death/life/light/whatever player? Deckbuilder master?

Card designer? Idea Giver? God Creator? Spammer? Troll of the Year? Most experienced death/life/light/whatever player? Deckbuilder master?

I was thinking about adding "Card Designer" for the best idea of a card. Then "Artist" for best card art (with self-made art, which can be used in Elements if Zanz so chooses). I'll start a thread about these two things later.

God creator? Hmm.. maybe.

Spammer? Lol, I don't think that's something we should award

Troll of the Year? Same thing. Banning would be a much better reward imo.

Most experienced death/life/light/whatever player? I'm already implementing these "Master of Element" custom titles which is supposed to be basically the same thing.

Deckbuilder master? Yes, that's a good idea. Maybe "Master Deckbuilder"? But how do we choose who we give this award? Public vote? Or we can just have a competition like with "Card Designer" and "Artist".

The question with Deckbuilder would be how conduct such a challenge. People would either have to test the decks or the Poster themselves would have to give stats  that are acurate.

[YoYoBro]

spammer and troll of the year would only be jokes you give em awards before banning xD

Anyway, maybe for deckbuilder we should do something like:

Competition for AI3 deckbuilder master is open:

Best deck: Unupgraded
Best deck: Upgraded

And so on... maybe 3 prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd...

More ideas: Lucky, unlucky (based on screenshot and explanation bout why they should get the award), Fundeck Builder °1,2 and 3, Strategist (the one that post a lot of in depth analysis of cards), the Elemental (person who can post 12 original working MONOdecks, one per element, and an original WORKING rainbow), Unholy Power (person who can find a non-rainbow deck, trio at most, that has an objective 50%+ percentage of winning vs FGs, the hardest challenge ATM, in my opinion..)..

P.s. SG, did you read my message?

An Award for activity in the forum. As Symbol maybe a golden clock.

Yes, it looks good. I'll get back to you on that later.

I like the idea but is a clock the best image for it? I see clock more like waiting or something. I'm sure there would be an image that better implies "activity".

Oh ok

And about activity... i think a small cup with the letters "NERD" on it would be funny and nice


What about a

This really goes hand in hand with the monthly challenges. Some nice ideas here I will update as suggestions for the challenges.

I already put that nerd looking smiley over there. It's the best I could find in a short notice. We can change all these later if we want.

I didn't find anything with "NERD" on it. Problem is that images are so small, only 16x16.
