Does that one time you went on Deathwind count as a "fun event"?

[bass44]

Have no idea what an "expanion" is, you might want to fix that.

Oh look at all the medals that I will never be able to get...

[Orange juice :l]

For those not aware, quite a bit back were the Attractive Member and Star Member medals (no points for guessing which Robot Masters appeared on them) that were ultimately removed along with a few others for being "too subjective" as to when it would be granted. While this is still a concern, I feel it is quite justified to return these medals, perhaps even as a combination of the two, to be granted to encourage this sort of action. To mitigate the subjectivity, some sort of product with proof of use should be evident (a Youtube video with a respectable view count, an article on a popular website, a tutorial that users can vouch for the usefulness of, etc.) before awarding the medal. Another point of justification I would cite for this is the current existence of the Enthusiast medal. Quantifying an objectively fun event seems... difficult.

Nitpick: Move Haunted Holiday to Fan Expansions?

Pipe Dream: Rework Cutstuff Warrior somehow, would love to see it be something to aspire to rather than the "oh my god CMM is playing I gotta dumpster him before he leaves" medal it used to be.

Shill: Tie Cutstuff Athlete into http://www.speedrun.com/mm8bdm :^)

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a one time event so I think it should stay there. It will retire after that anyway. Enthusiast medal is for "fun" events that people launch and request a medal be attached to it, but doesn't fit into the other categories as much (I was requested to make this medal).

As for the other "super member" medals, having to keep track of everything can be a pain since I handle all this myself so I haven't put any medals like that up. Keeping track of who dumpsters me is also a pain since I have to go through the process of figuring out who they are on the forum etc. Maybe one day Zandronum can keep track of that for me but that isn't a thing yet!

You mean I won't ever have a chance of receiving the plumber medal now?? D:

Welcome to my world.

I think that was supposed to be a one-time thing.

Speaking of which, why aren't all the "official expansion" medals in the "retired" category?

[Turbodude]

Oh wow, guess my Warrior medal's even more valuable than I had once thought!

[nehuenloco]

The way that you could find the "Time lord" medal was discovering Quint and pm you about it?

It was for finding him in the trailer, but his location is public knowledge now.

[scykestscys]

Welp I guess I will try getting the medal XDDD

[CutmanMike]

For whatever reason the forum software prevented me from issuing medals, but has miraculously started working again today? Anyway, I've issued a bunch of medals I owed people. Please let me know if you're missing any!

All 10 of my medals shine nicely, thank you for fixing the medals Mike
