Just cos they are mods doesnt necessarily mean they know whats best for the forum. I've spent a while on here and have a good idea, although I realise Nicks a veteran :D. We'll se what happens... :P

That list looks good, but I don't know if Overlord is opposed to it. He made great creativity medals so...?
You forgot Cresta EDIT: No, I was thinking about luka. Nevermind.

It is entertaining.

The "rivalry" isn't leaving the general forum, though. Right? :roll:

Do you really think that Overlord supports Creativity Medals? Then, just talk to him.

I don't want to become a part of this discussions but there are a few things I had to point out:

First of all, I am opposed to the creativity medal but if I had any talent for painting I would've helped designing the medals just in case. I can't see then why you think Overlord supports the idea only because he helped designing the icons.

Secondly, There are the two lists of the "for" and "against" and I think that you guys should not only check the number of the voters but there are also other perimeters to be checked:

    :!: "Veteranity" of members:
    Ikerous, Dec 2006
    JonathanF, Jan 2007
    Tomo, Feb 2007
    Overlord, Jan 2007
    Luka, Sep 2006
    DrRoy, Oct 2006
    NickyNick, Dec 2006

    TShultz, 41st
    Scimaster, 21st
    Gamma57, 22nd
    jimbojetuk, 37th
    (Not to mention that half of these guys' posts are connected to the creativity medal :P)


    :!: Using this forum in the name of playing AR (medals and rank)

    JonathanF, 17, 5th
    Tomo, 2, 38th
    Overlord, 4, 21st
    Luka, 21, 4th
    DrRoy, 3, 31st
    NickyNick, 41, 1st
    (Also, I have read somewhere that ioncorpse is opposed to the creativity medals and I'm pretty sure that Unw is opposed to them based on his characters and posts, so that means all of the top players are opposed to it)

Another thing you might want to think about (Both "opposers" and supporters)
-Suppose a creativity medal is given only in special occasions when someone has invented something new like the 1st metal bar pulley, 1st force launcher, 1st "Uber Force" etc... If these "inventions" aren't the cheapest there is no good in using them again and therefore don't deserve a "creativity medal". If they are really cheap and original they have probably won the level and therefore don't need a creativity medal (I've named a few solutions in one of the 1000 creativity medal threads).
The only solution I can think of that didn't win and maybe deserved a creativity medal was NickyNick's "Bizarre" to "The Heroian Express" B contest.



To be honest, I wouldn't care if the creativity medal system did exist, but if it gets as much attention as the regular medals, an automated system, avatars next to your name (meaning you will have 2 avatars) and a new user title, I'm against it.
If it would be more modest (let's say a part of your signature) I would find it much more appropriate and might even include it in my signature if I win any creativity medals (Overlord's artworks are superb)!


I think it's my longest post ever lol

I agree with you totally... I didnt want this whole thing to have medal prefixes, avatars etc; just some kind of incentive for creative newbs who can never get a good scoer but have actually utilised the level really well. And yeah Overlords thing is pretty damn cool!! All it needs is a copy into ur sig along with the number you have won, and its done... I might start my own "i-created-the-idea-and-just-want-something-simple" clan! Whos with me?? :D :P 8) :lol:
