Another quick note.
If you nominate someone and just use their first name, when I go to award I will have to either look up their last name (click through if you went to the trouble to link their profile) or it will NOT show the person being awarded... so for example.. Alori got a medal but Alori Sai did not. Since Alori is not an actual PC, she's not then showing on the list.
Instead of going to the trouble of providing a link to their profile, how about you just provide FULL NAMES to prevent this problem in the future?
Also, in terms of plotline participation, we do not award FIRST medals for that. For example, Cyphrus has had TONS of captives in the region, but I'm not giving first medals for captives in the current Endyrkas plotline. It would not be fair to all those other captured and rescued or not rescued folks.
So... please provide full names. It' takes a LONG TIME to click through to their links and cut and paste their full name. Have you seen how some people spell here? Otherwise, if I'm busy doing this, I might not award the right person. I know when someone nominated Markus for a first, there are a ton of markus' on the site.
And now.. off to redo half these medals again. That was an hour wasted.
