So, I read the "Creativity Medal" threads...

[PeterT]

and I really like these medal designs by Overlord.

However, the current proposition (to have an alternative prefix set of titles) is slightly problematic in terms of implementation. Currently, the titles/medals are implemented on top of the standard phpBB rank system. So, to add creativity prefixes would triple or quadruple the amount of ranks required (one rank for every prefix and main title combination). This is exceedingly inelegant and not quite scalable.

It would be much preferable to add support to the medals directly to the board software and database. This would also allow showing the medals in the user profiles or listing users by medals, etc. However, since I want to switch this whole forum to phpBB3 once the final version is released (which should be soon) that whole work would have to be repeated.

If there is a big demand for creativity medals we could start to hand them out now and count them in the medal tally thread, but not yet implement the corresponding rank -- that would be activated retroactively once it's implemented in the forum.

So peter are you saying you like the idea of them and are willing to implement them??

Can anyone formulate what is the criteria of giving a creativity medal to someone?!
For example:
-If it is the new way to solve levels (for the 1st force paddle, for the 1st havy metal pad, for the 1st ghost effect solution, for the thirst metal bar pulley, ect)?
-If guy is compleating the level with really strange/not evident way.

-or some other rules

I just wanna to say that "oh that guy is using so many rockets!" or even "this solution is really cool to watch!!" is NOT the criteria. If u want to avoid disorder - FORMULATE THE RULES OF GIVING MEDAL!

// Of course it is just my opinion.

You are correct; the novel methods in IMO would get medals; for example the first force paddle probs would have got 1. But yeah a solution that justs sticks 10 rockets next to the dillo and manages to complete it wouldnt get one. (meanin Unw would have to develop slightly )
