New Medals

Hello fellow Dawi Zharr.

One of the coolest features of our community is the medal system. For some members help medals motivate and drive the hobby work. For others they are held in high honour and respect, a sign of accomplishment like winning the Golden Hat. Lastly some medals are given by the staff to members helping out the community with our Wiki and other CDO projects.

Today we add more tiers to some of the old medals. We have some active old members around, always entering competitions and always expanding their already impressive forces. These medals are for you guys - Gold is not the top!

New Tiers
Gallery Medal
Introduced is the Platinum Medal for 20 picture uploads, Diamond for 25 picture uploads and the Blackshard Medal for a wooping 30 picture uploads!
Back in 2014 the gallery section was updated, galleries were changed aroud and renamed. The medal criteria was updated - but the essence remaned the same. If trying to claim something higher than gold, please recount your contributions, get the right count down.

Veterans Medal
If you've entered 15 Artisan's or Golden Hat you get the gold. Now you can get Platinum, Diamond and Blackshard as well.

New Medals
Diplomat Medal
2014 saw the launch of The Great Emissary Exchange a truly great initiatve. A lot of CDO members have already joined, converted and painting models and send them all over the world. Little pieces of hobby being shared between members. A feat like this needs to be shown to the world. So we introduce the Diplomats Medal.

Major Prize Sponsor
For some of our competitions CDO members have selflessly donated miniature prizes for the winners or to be given a random entry. All these prizes are greatly appreciated - thank you. Yet the contributions of some members are truly great and very large. This medal will be awarded to members who has sponsored prizes in a major way.

Due to the Admins being very busy at the moment and for the foreseeable future, I have been given the honour to work as an Admin. I need to figure out the whole Admin Control Panel. Should be able to help with basic user problems.

Congrats on the promotion.

Well deserved promotion. Bloodbeard has brought a real treat to the table with these medals. Now, even hardcore veterans like tjub and Nicodemus will have some new medals to hunt for.

Gz Bloodbeard, well deserved!!

Nice! Gratz Bloodbeard

Great idea and awesome implementation!

Kudos!


                      

I will have to check what units I have for the showcase section not sure if the pics all got deleted when it was revamped.

The new medals look really good

Thank you all.

It's only threads that has been merged - nothing should have been deleted.[/b]

I've updated the new medals, both Major Prize Sponsor and the Diplomat Medals. HAd made them 34*34 pixels originally, which meant the wasn't round when uploaded (as our medals are 32*32).

I've also updated the colours on the Diplomat Medals to better fit our other medals - especially the bronze colour was off before.

All that has been rewarded the medals - have already been awarded the updated ones.
