I thought they were the same person too, but I was obviously wrong.

All this worry about cheating is ridiculous.

The medals can't be sold for money. Each person who runs the contest is going to be a winner of a previous contest. I trust contest winners to simply award the creativity medal to the solution they think is most creative.

It's not so important to even have a medal appear next to your name. It'd be enough for me if the person who hosts simply types "Creativity Medal: fringD" That's all the props I'd need for encouragement.

I can't fathom the mindset that would enjoy lying about that.

And even if they do lie, who cares. So a million creativity awards get awarded to some dufus, so what.

Different colored brushes would be cool, but what would they stand for?
I like the design though! I'd give you that creativity medal for design that creativity medal!

I now wish I'd voted for the other "yes" option. I agree that creativity medals should not be the same as Light and Dark medals. Maybe there could be titles like creative, artistic, clever, innovative, inventive, original. (Thank heaven for thesaurus.com.) These could go in front of the main title, giving titles like "Creative Medal Winner" & "Artistic Armadillo Lord"

[ Kind of like the D&D "______ ______ of _______" for weapons. D&D fans correct me if I'm wrong. I don't play D&D, sorry]

There could at least be a creative medal thing in the medal tally. For example:

N-League:
...
XIX: L: TSchultz and Calneon and JustcallmeDrago C: JustcallmeDrago


If none of what I've said is a good idea, I'm putting my creativity medal information in my Signature, so hah.

Meh; I think that we are now overcomplicating stuff!! lol! I think we should have one medal that looks similar to the current ones but it should just have rainbow colours or something like that. Also I think they should be included in the medal list that was created some time back... They should count for something lol!!

It was your idea in the first place. If you're talking about the fancy title, I want a fancy title!! "Artistic Contest Legend, JustcallmeDrago" Dun dun dun.... :twisted: I like that.

Save that for the gay pride medal. Paintbrush rules ("artistic")

I agree they should be in the medal tally, but they're not the same as light/dark medals!

Paraphrase of Ike wrote:This game is 80% recognition

You can have the best $core$ and not have a creative bone in your body. Or you can be the opposite.

Code: Select all
Seperate titles = good


EDIT: Funny thing happened: says 4 pages, but no 4th page...
