Well, come up with something that you can say, I'll be happy to listen to you.

(Sorry for the belated reply. I stopped medal hunting quite a while ago and only check this thread when I take time out of my day to casually browse the forums.)

I'm always repeating this one over and over but it's very demotivating when you miss hard medals all the time because you forgot to refresh the tab after playing for more than 40? 50? minutes, and have to start from scratch.


I have seen a very straightforward solution to that problem when flash games were still running on flash and dragons ruled the twilight sky...: A [Resent Medals]-button. As the name suggests, it re-sends all the medals that the game marked as unlocked in a game-internal list. Extremely helpful.


From my perspective, the responsibility here lies with particular devs that didn't/don't care enough about their players. Medals are good enough for them to get them "extra numbers", reviews, and rewards but those devs did/do not return the favor and take proper precautions.


[...] You guys really should contact Tom and make him aware of all these issues.


I'm sure he is aware.

Just as he is aware of the million different (and very important!!) things that users just like me bring to his attention on the regular. I am 100% certain that he fully understands that we mean well - but the day I die will be cause for a little celebration in the Fulp household. ;3

I might have a suggestion, but it's really primitive and stupid. For users over 150,000(?) medal points, a little check mark appears in their Account Page that reads "Check Eligibility for joining the Top Medal Point Users List" *. As long as it's checked, the internal algorithm which created the current list will check those accounts and add them to said list - expanded to 200 users. But the numbers are only checked every Friday at midnight, so the serves don't melt over something that 99% of users do not care about.

In addition, the information "User X is a cheater" should be saved in NG's account database, so that list cannot be circumvented by abusing the name-change feature, stealing somebody's laptop, or sleeping with a certain moderator for (and I hope I translated this correctly) "base motives".


·

* A side benefit would be that, this way, users who want to "retire" from the list voluntarily or do not like to "show off" can do so in a quick and unbureaucratic manner - a well as change their mind in the future without bothering any moderators. Which actually brings me to something I had to bring up and have been holding off on. It seems only fitting that I bring it up in a literal footnote the way I kept neglecting this: Dear @Bobogoobo, once this list runs again (in one form or another), please no longer list me. Other things have taken priority over dealing with medals for me and whoever gets to join the list at the 200th place because I made space will probably be really happy about it. Thank you for your efforts. I'll still help out by complaining. ;)

I'm hoping to start trying to earn a certain amount of medal points each day! I'm gonna do it moreso as a hobby (and as a way to keep me up a bit longer) as opposed to doing it to get on top of the list, but I thought I'd still say it here in case it ever does lead to anything in the future :) you all do some great work, keep it up!

Yeah, I haven't heard anything about the list recently - I presumed it was dead.

If it does come back, its pretty much guaranteed I'm landing in the top 200 - I had 171k points the last time I came here, and I'm set to end the year around the 200k mark:

Definitely! You seem to be getting pretty close to the top 100 too at that point... until there's something here you can always check this for reference: https://www.wkrconcepts.com/nglogs/index.php?id=lists

You're only a few thousand points away from the top 50 - I expect you'll break in before the year's end at this rate.

Thank you, I decided to do something unique, so I decided to do it, even though it's not true, but it may become true in the future!!! You don't know what I'm capable of yet.

I'm especially proud of the Eye of Providence being Amereep's avatar, which is an eye... cause he's the god of medalling... (yeah it probably was a lot cooler in my head).


Also, you mentioned a 2001 account lmao. It's my bad actually, I used to be wrongfully called that way in other sites too, should've probably thought about it before deciding that name. Also yeah, it's based on the one and only Optimus Prime, so not that wrong after all.

It's a pity that some medal hunters have left and are no longer receiving medals.

For example, @Fooliolo, @Cyberdemonio, @Ray80, @athomas5, @NeonSpider, @SFS1313, @MatthewF, @VJF, and of course, how can I not forget @Nijsse. Who knows, maybe one of them will come back someday???

Although I certainly recognize a few names from that list, I am not acquainted with any those users. That somebody "went off the radar" can sometimes suggest something grim, but I think it's more likely they might just have suffered from Newgrounds-burnout. They probably took the opportunity for a long overdue break from what I assume was years of regular medal collecting.


I've been there myself with many kinds of games, online communities, etc.

One day I wake up, say "I can't anymore...!", and leave it all behind me. And sometimes I come back years later... :3


They might just pop up out of nowhere in a few years time when they come across something they want to log into NG for. And it might not even be to play games. When I came back in... 2023 (I think), I logged in to watch an adult animation. Then I had a quick look at some Art Portal submissions. I came back a few days later, because I was really in the mood for some unusual drawn art and "stuff you don't see elsewhere". At some point, I started interacting with the community again. "Then stuff happened..." And here we are.


I'm still not playing many games though - or at least not for long and often without considering medals. At best, you get me with low handing fruit like eating some pixelated Spajeje. ;)
