New Medal?

[Cathan]

I am not sure I would specifically write something for a contest... but I like the one about drawing. Even when I can't draw. Maybe you could expand it and just make it a medal for pretty, well organized CSs? There are a couple which just make you go And I think more people had a chance to participate in that one.

Might encourage some people to say the standard layout good bye and make their character really appealing to other people. Eventually there is not even a need for it to have much to do with design, just well structured information which goes beyond standard template would be enough? Sheets which draw attention or so?

How about a medal for participating in 1000 threads? Or maybe 500 or 100?

[Sorian]

That's a great idea Serrif.

But I still want to see that Like Mike / Mikesaurus medal implemented.

*Seconds that notion*

Bumping this thread because I'd love to see some of these award come along. I especially adore the "Mike" award ( though it could have a more recognizable name?) And the thread count. It's hard to stay around and be active for extra long amounts of time with thing called life people now and days have. It would be fun for those who do nothing but dream about Miz all day to get recognized for their faithfulness to Mizahar. The thread count would also be fun and might encourage others to hop in open threads and to create more threads for character developement and such.

I'm not sure if these ideas are any good, but I'd figure I'd at least TRY to do something useful. Perhaps a medal for...helping new people or something in the introductions forum? I don't know, I'm not that creative. But at least it would motivate more people to say Hi to all of our new Mizaharians? Eeeh. How about a award for someine's knowledge about the. Lore? I saw Shepherd did these random chat contests with random things from the lore. I'm sure it would get some people to actually READ the lore instead of asking chat, ect, if it meant they could possibly get an award for their vast knowledge. There are some of those silent readers who deserve at least an acknowledgement for their research. It could be called Bookworm or something. And my last idea, maybe there could be an award for traveling. Some people do TONS of traveling and it's rather impressive. Maybe they could get something for trying new places and getting around. The "Get off your duff" award? Heh heh, just some ideas I suppose. I wouldn't be offended if these end up being horrible ideas. I know I can make sime ridiculous things sometimes.

[Gossamer]

We have an overlored medal now... (the puns oh the puns!)
We can put in a 1 year award... maybe 1 year then 5 years etc
Mikes not getting his own 'being mike' award. Forget it. He's cool but not that cool!

I second Gale's idea for a medal for people who are constantly greeting newbies on the Introductions forum and guiding them to helpful links. It would be a wonderful way to help newbies feel more welcomed to Mizahar. Great thought, Gale!

(19:28:36) Gossamer gives Gale an 'I'm special' t-shirt.
(19:28:38) Miria: then it would be a hedgehog
(19:28:45) Gale_McCenry: Can I get that as an award?

You asked for it Jen. Come on, Hand it over! I'm only going to keep nagging about this so best get it over with, right?

[Kaska Villahotes]

I think there should be a medal to the people who build the longest thread of the season.

[Smithis]

Wouldn't that simply promote impossibly long meet and greet threads with two writers who were too awkward to give them a properly timed ending? I think that glorifying writing through the featured section is enough. That's my take.
