Dude i know you wanna send it but no offence but I'll try and write a better version. You can send it if you want; once the polls pretty much finished! Change the names and stuff if you want to use it.

Here goes;

Hey Peter this is McGinge from the AR forum. On the forum over the last few weeks, I have put across an idea for a new medal, which I will outline below if you give this email a few minutes of your time. The medal has gained significant support in the last few weeks and I feel would make a positive difference to AR as we play it.

The Creativity Medal!

- This medal was suggested by me for one main reason. Although always fun, AR contests are getting a little repititive in the sense that solutions generally follow a similar trend; tweaking $2 increments out of force paddles, bar pulleys etc. I wanted AR to get back to what it was about in the first place; gasping at the creativity of those who thought laterally about the levels and created a quite frankly mind blowing solution to which we all gawped at.
Due to this, I invented the idea of the creativity medal. This would be awarded when individuals who have created solutions that surpass the levels of repitition of the same old trend we see too often and instead dare to step where no armadillo has stepped before. My feeling was that this would entice those raw new players into playing the contests for this medal rather than feebly attempting to win score based medals against the seasoned veterans that participate. This I feel would bring back the pure fun to the game and eliminate at least some of the $2 tweaking which has become the norm in many a contest.

Below I have given examples of solutions that I feel would have recieved this medal had it been implemented in the past. Before you see the solution play, take a second to look at the level and the traditional ways you would have used to solve it. Then bring it back, play it and see their amazing ideas unfold!!!

ARFC A 99 - NickyNicks "le dark"; just blew everyone away

ARFC A 94 - NickyNicks winner was a gem

ARFC A 90 - My "possibly what you were looking for" was pretty cool imo:D

These solutions were among the many that I feel are the type of solutions I'm looking for to award these medals. If you agree (over 70% of the forum members have voted yes for this in a recent poll), then I can send you the scoring system etc. that we have devised.

Thankyou for your time, and we hope to hear from you soon.

Send. it. now.

Just don't forget to mention opinion of moderators, and remove flattering about AR forum

by **JustcallmeDrago** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:42 pm

Yes put in that mods don't want us to flatter peterT with his forum because they don't think it's a good forum so that would be lying.

It isn't comically at all. You should work on your sense of humour.

by **lordofdeath101** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:48 pm

EDIT: i reread it and i thought i said something else.... i no it wasnt funny

How old are you, lordofdeath101?

by **McGinge** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:53 pm

me or drago have no sense of humour?? the flattery thing was i thought a nice ice breaker thing... apart from that shall i send it drago?

by **NickyNick** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:56 pm

Ice breaker? What "ice" you are talking about? Peter Thoman hasn't even taken part in this discussion.

by **McGinge** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:57 pm

precisely!! i'd just thought it'd be amusing; besides i thought u hated this idea and want to ruin it!!and i had no idea his last name was Thoman...

by **JustcallmeDrago** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 2:54 am

Um, I'm not reading the email again. I don't remember what the "ice flattery" was but I'll extrapolate from the conversation. Maybe instead of flattering him, you could think of something else to say like "..."

I'm tired. cant think well.

Thankyou for your time (did I mention this forum is amazing )), and hope to hear from you soon.

Ok I read it. change it to this:

Thank you for your time. I(we?) hope to hear from you soon.

by **JustcallmeDrago** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:17 pm

Yes. Send it.
