Okay so I just finished doing a massive portal/api synch that took most of the day. Unfortunately I am tired as fuck and probably fucked up one or two, so if any of you guys notice any medals on the wrong games, or know of games that used to be on the gameswithmedals page but are awol now, please send me a PM.

I looked through the posts prior to osting this, and I think all the ones already mentioned are synched properly now.

As far as I know, there are no other games with a single 100-point medal.

It doesn't have this medal anymore. I don't believe it ever had one.

Hi PG, thanks for fixing the medal issues. Unfortunately, you did miss a few:

1. Medals for Enigmata: genu's Revenge are appearing on this page.
2. Medals for Alkie Kong 2 are showing up here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/43 7622
3. Medals for SeoMX Skating Video pt. 2 are appearing here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/50 4842 (the former shouldn't have the medals in the first place because they don't work)

I wont play an adult game that had medals. only street fighter collab, though.

This game has at least one medal: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/54 8304

It doesn't show up on the page, though.

It's also odd that none of the authors for those games mention anything about medals in their comments, except the author of Miner Dash who says he doesn't even know who added those medals to his game.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-09-16 00:39:32


I find it odd too. Wouldn't you need the source code of a .swf file in order to add medals? I don't think NG staff would go around decompiling other people's work without permission.

I recognize those pictures, they're on the wrong entry. Never fear, there are no medals on this game.

Aw sheet!
EBF3!
Uhm, is anyone gonna make a guide for it?
I wouldn't mind doing it, but if the game is even bigger than EBF2...ugh.It would take months :<
I'm actually afraid of starting the game on a non-weekend day...

That's because the author of the Flash would have to program in the triggers for the medals. The staff can add medals any submission, but they will be broken unless the author intended for it to have medals. I suspect this was the case for SeoMX Skating Video v.2.

Looks like the misplaced medals you listed have been returned to their original games. As well as that SeoMX Skating Video pt. 2 has had its medals removed and been taken off the games with medals list.

I agree but I'd be suspicious of whether that medal works or not, even if you could reach that score. Since it's the only medal for that game and apparently impossible to obtain, it seems out of place as such. Some of the other broken medals seem out of place too. Like the single medal for Monki Bound should be ridiculously easy to get, and the names of the medals on Paradoxion Express are odd too. It's like whoever made up these medals didn't put any thought into them, or not as much as an author would anyway.

That is a plausible explanation. Perhaps the staff picked these random games to test the medal approval system but the games themselves were not designed to award medals. The staff probably just made up the medal descriptions specifically for the test and they were never meant to be visible in the portal.

It probably has something to do with the recent portal/api synch that PsychoGoldfish was talking about. I've PMed him with the list of games with broken medals

I thought about that, except it doesn't make sense. The medals have goals that make sense within the game, which indicates that whoever added them had knowledge about the game they were being added to. As well, they have sensible images instead of some kind of placeholder. So all in all it's really weird.
