This is a flat out lie, apparently any game with medals attached to it, has lost that neat little medal box underneath the game.

There are no medals anywhere!

I see them, even after a ctrl f5. Something is wrong with your vision. You're going blind krev.

HAHAHAHAHA! this is hilarious how much of a panic the thread has gone into. My guess is that the staff is working on fixing some of the problems we have all bitched about at one point or another. All this speculation is quite humorous tho. I figured that HoverBotArena2 and FUI2 would get taken out of the points sooner or later. It would seem that is what's going on here, but who knows. It also seems unlikely we will get a solid explanation either.

You still see the medals that you can get/have on that page? Hmmm. I can't. Maybe there is something wrong with YOUR vision.

Yea when it loads at first it's not there, then half a seocnd later they appear. PROOF

*And yes I pressed ctrl f5*

i see every game with medal's

I think everyone should just shut the fuck up and wait at least a day before freaking out. We already know what games and medals got removed, so just CHILL.

We don't need random "WHAT THE FUCKKCKCK?" or "WHERE IS MAH MEDALS PLEZ?" posts coming up and I'm pretty damn sure no one gives a shit about the screen shots any of you are taking anymore. We get it. They're doing work. Just shut up and let them do it without freaking out for fuck's sake.

I'm sure someone will let us know what's going on soon, and if they don't it doesn't matter because we have no say in what happens anyways. So just take it easy and go back to your normal lives while there aren't any new games to play and the admins work.

Got it?

As many times as I post this, I have to post it again- Ctrl F5 in firefox makes it a new tab, depending on your settings. Just to warn the new users of flamingfurry. Mine used to, and does not any longer.

Shift+F5 pulls from the server like we all expect it to, and it has done that for browsers since 1996. May have been before 96 I'm sure but that's when I started programming so Iiiiii have noooo ideaaaa.

/offtopic
And medals are back.

this weeks top medal list might end up looking a little bit screwy then eh? with people losing fui2 and hover bot... and NGLogs aren't removing the points from hoverbot and fear... so on the logs i have 19265 and on ng i have 18965...

the stress this must be causing hybrid... : (

Yea, I don't know, it didn't open a new tab. Anyways it don't matter I'm sure they'll be fine, you said they were back yourself.

@Carabooobooo
Dude don't fucking bash me for posting a screenshot to prove a point. It was totally on topic. I'm not freaking out about anything so stfu if you're whining at me.

Just updated personal copy of the medal spreadsheet/checklist. It doesn't have FUi2, and I removed my Hoverbot scores from the "Points Received" column. it still has me at 10 points higher than wheat my profile is showing me. I'm thinking maybe the "illiterate" medal? I will update the checklist in my sig shortly. so if you all want it you can download it for yourselves. If someone who has both "Literate" and "Illiterate", or just the 25 pointer uses my checklist, maybe they can see if they are missing 25/35 points.

Nah I wasn't sorry that was my bad. I just read through the past like 3 pages really fast and for some reason thought there were more screen shots than there actually were so sorry for that. But I AM sick, however, of people complaining that the medals are missing and blah blah blah.

It's good and productive to research and test to see which medals are missing and update us with your findings. That's cool and I like that. Ranting about missing medals is useless. I PMed PG asking very calmly and nicely to respond, even with only a brief answer, of what was going on because all of you are going crazy it would seem. And by all of you I mean half of the usuals on this thread and pretty much every rando who stops in every now and then. So just chill out guys.. They're just medals.

Caraboo, people are going to use the thread for its intended purpose. If you can't handle that, don't fucking click the thread. Just.. leave it the fuck alone.
You need to learn how to let go, and how to cope with situations.

Oh wait nevermind, you are 19 and had a case for a DUI recently. Disregard everything I said since it won't do any good.

Uhhhh, I still have my Hover Bot medals...

I am down around 500 points though, so if someone wants to they can go figure out what I'm missing.

WHERE MY MEDALS PLEZ

You're an idiot. Complaining about medals isn't the point of the thread. Learning things about medals is. Enough people have complained, one more post complaining won't help. jmalouin7 & FurryFox have actually contributed something by figuring out some of the medals that were removed, everything else on here so far is... well let's see.. how would you put it again?

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

At the moment they're still shown on your page, but not included in the total.

I'm so glad I started a sig bandwagon. Ish awsm to see. <3

It's really becoming a pain to check this thread every now and then and seeing so many off-topic posts.

Do we really even need this thread anymore? When was the last time someone asked for help in a medal game, and wasn't "answered" with a link to the walkthrough or Wylina's page? Seeing that there's page full of walkthroughs for most games, a page with a list of medal games, and another thread about medal game points, does this thread serve any purpose anymore? I don't come here to know who levelled up or changed their aura or editted their sig or any other bullshit that doesn't matter. I don't care that so-and-so got this medal for a game released three months ago or that someone with almost no points might be hacking.

I come here to see if there are any new medal games, and if so, for help with any medals I'm having trouble with. That's the fucking purpose of this thread.

Either post something on-topic or don't post.

I'll let Malachy or whichever mod(s) tell us what point of the psyche we can and cannot breach with regards to the epistemic meaning of 'complaining', enlightenment, discussion, questions, answers, and you being a giant 200-proof alcoholic douchenozzle of a motherfucktard.

Learning things about medals is. Enough people have complained, one more post complaining won't help.

You mean, one more post.. like yours? Gotcha. Hold a mirror up to yourself and pull a Shakespeare. Learn from this.

You are a metric fuckton of obliviousness. Mindful attention is something you are severely lacking.

Raeg, it feeds my soul. My dark hatred noms your immaturity and grows stronger. Omnom, nomnom, nom.

so shut the fuck up

How mature. :)

So I saw my userpage and I seem to lose 25 points. What is PsychoGoldfish doing? Also, were all the FUI2 medals removed? Cause I still have them.

Hacsev...lol for not reading anything from the last two pages. We BELIEVE that currently our points received for FUi2 and HoverBot arena have been removed. The Medals are still visible on our user profiles.

I less than three teh interwebz.

1. Metric Fuckton
More properly, "Metric Fucktonne." The Fuckton is the Imperial standard for the measurement of fuckweight, while the Fucktonne, in contrast, constitutes the Metric measure of fuckmass.

Generally used to imply superlative quantity with the Metric standard included to emphasise this point. The inclusion of the term is, however, fundamentally a misuse of that standard, as the Imperial Fuckton (2000 Imperial Fuckpounds) denotes a slightly greater measure of fuckweight within Earth's gravitational pull than does the Metric Fuckton (1000 Metric Fuckilograms).

Source - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph p?term=metric+fuckton

While the metric fuckton is often left out of english-metric conversion tables, physics books and my 26th edition of the Machinery's Handbook, the unit is often used in day to day life of the scientific elite to measure such things as paperwork to be done or the amount of shit given by coworkers.

Well, how far was it that people were postulating what would happen if a game got its medals removed yet people had earned some/all of the medals? Just two games, and yes-- FUI2 was 'removed'. Just a few things remain to be fixed.

We know now, I believe. Goldfish has some work to do. :) I'm sure he's on it now, since we had errors earlier, staff has to be doing 'stuff' right now.

look at the rage and destruction the great medal panic is causing.

but I learned a new word.. Metric fuckton.

so I guess its worth it.

did he just make a useless post?
yes he dids

I did read them, but I didn't understand why PsychoGoldfish did it. Are the medals finally going to have a purpose now?

We BELIEVE that currently our points received for FUi2 and HoverBot arena have been removed. The Medals are still visible on our user profiles.

Thanks for that! I thought everyone got his Hoverbot Arena 2 and FUI2 medals removed from their userpages.

I've been installing updates which includes a more efficient script to reset everyone's medal scores based on valid medals, along with the groundwork for some new API features you'll start seeing in use in the near future.

Right now we have 2 separate database tables regarding your medals. One stores what medals you currently have unlocked and is not biased to the overall functionality of a medal (such as the ones in fear unlimited), the other holds your actual medal scores.

When this new script runs it adds up your medal points for every medal that is currently marked as an approved and functional medal, and skips points for the broken ones.

If the authors who made the broken medals ever fix them, those medals will be worth points again and anyone who has them unlocked will have those points automatically added.

I do not have a list of what's all been de-approved in the overall list of medals, but I know there are a few games that only have one or 2 broken ones that are not worth any real points. The ones worth no points shouldn't show up on the game page, but will show up on your profiles.

There's still a lot of touch ups to do on the system overall, but we have been listening to the complaints about people cheating to get unatainable medals and we agree those unatainable medals should not reward people anything.

As I eluded to at the start of this post, we have a LOT of new stuff in the pipeline so addressing every minor issue with the medals may take some time, but know that the way things are set... if you unlock a medal and do not get points for it... you still have the medal linked to your acount and on the next score sync, your points should reflect that.

They exist but they don´t show on the games. May be they are delating some of the medals in secret to don´t notice.
