The "Lack" of Tournament Medals

[Optimus Prime]

It was a pleasant day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the clouds were floating through the air on a gentle breeze.

Then things went haywire, literally, the wires were turning to hay with the chaos that was running rampant through the forums of CC. The robot nearest and dearest to all of our hearts has been shamed. A mighty man known only as "The Turtle" was initiating drastic changes upon the landscape of CC World; some were accepted with cheers of joy, and others with some grumbling on the side, but one such change struck a massive blow to the spark-driven heart of our favorite robot...

"The Turtle" was passing out these new things called "medals" left and right with each new win, but some medals were reserved for very special cases. Such is the state of the Tournament Contribution Medal. These precious gems are handed out to only those with the fortitude to brave the fires of tournament organizing, those who willingly give of their time and efforts to provide entertainment for others, something this brave robot has done time and time again. So often in fact that his tournament contribution equals a hefty 27 completed tournaments!

Our robot friend, known to many as Optimus Prime, was anxious to finally be able to show off his hard work to all those around him, but what is this we hear? You can only have up to 20 at a time? How is this possible!!?? What of the other 7 lonely tournaments that will sit buried in shame and shadow, hoping beyond hope that they will someday be recognized? What will they do? How will they survive? These poor tournaments have to wait for another, brighter day to let their shining hearts show!!!

Optimus now hangs his head in disappointment for his reputation is incomplete until the "order for medals with bigger numbers" arrives as promised by the mysterious Turtle. When will this be? He may never know, but he can hope for the day to arrive when his glory shall be known again!!!

This thread created entirely for humor and laughs as Optimus Prime finds it incredibly funny that this problem was overlooked.

lol fail!

first post

EDIT: just to clarify for people the roman numeral number on the medal shows how many you have, so he may have one graphic for it but he has a lot of the medals

[Richard Hand]

More medals should be a priority for the medal smiths of CC. Not just for you and your amazing tourney organizing skills, but for other hard to reach things. Give us all something to strive for...

dont forget, those that have been blessed with the ability to read can also see that right above his medal graphics, there is a number stating how many medals he has.

Amen!

[Gilligan]

That's weird. I'm in agreement with Opie, you should be able to get a medal for every thing (in this case, tournament) you do.

I'm sure I'll get mad too if it isn't changed by the time I finish 7 more tournaments.

[banana_hammocks]

At least you've got one!! I'm still waiting on mine... 3 completed tournaments...2 in the finals....hopefully someday i will be recognised.

[autoload]

Speaking of banana_hammocks, I got mine.

There were almost 250 of them that the TDs have to hand out, so we split the list 3 ways. Both of you are on the portion that Steelhorse has, and he should be getting them handed out within the next couple of days.

How do you define a successful tournament though

What do you mean? I think it's pretty easy to consider a tournament that makes it all the way to completion a success given the large percentage of them that wind up abandoned.

[nagerous]

I'm just joking around.

i like my tourny medals i need to get to 20 so it looks all maxed out and awesome

[Night Strike]

i like my tourny medals i need to get to 20 so it looks all maxed out and awesome

Nah, I think 30 will be the best number to end on: XXX

I am pretty sure thats why "The turtle" stopped at XX.

congratz on most tourneys ever on CC mr OP

[edbeard]

I'd thought you'd done more than 27 tournaments. wow. I guess you probably have 5-10 ongoing though.

Yeah, 11 active right now, most of them in the closing stages. Some of them were pretty huge.

[owenshooter]

has this been resolved? is this a simple error or oversight on the admins part? perhaps this is an intentional slight at all robot-kind? machine-ism at its base level. i for one am not going to renew my premium until optimus and his kind are treated equally, as the rest of us, machine or not. let's overlook his cooling fluids and oozing lubrication from the majority of his joints and orifices, and get him what he has worked so damn hard for!! can't we all just get along? man, robot kind, moderators, admins, the 4 basic species that inhabit CC...
i feel for you Robot Man.-0

[max is gr8]

Maybe have more than one logo if the graphics are the only downside, just add another set of the same so when you orgainise 27 you get XX and VII on 2 different badges.

You know that's what makes him so sexy though. All lubed up and ready to roll out.

How about distinguishing the size of tournament? Some have 20 games, some 200 and some 1000s...

yep, thats a good idea...ive only run 3 tournaments and they were all over 100 players in each

There isn't really an accurate way to do that, and the # of games in a tournament is not exactly a great way to define quality or quantity, or effort for that matter. Just like # of players is the same way. Tournaments with 16 players can have 15 games, or 2000, it is still a tournament, and it still takes dedication to complete in the proper manner.

I have a feeling that the new Hall of Fame I'm working on as well as the new tournament contribution medals we just received will provide all the recognition we need.
