I don't really know why it happened, and I PMed Tom about it.

I'll be honest, as long as it doesn't happen to DJManiax I don't really care. I ended up only getting 2 hours of sleep last night because of that game; it had better keep its medals, or else... something.

Alright gaiz, I completed my point medal re-inventory. Though what I'm about to post is already old news for a lot of us, I'll repost it anyways for consistency. Here's what I found:

Dubious games because medals don't show up on the game's page: Blasting Agent, Pyroscape 2, Enough Plumbers, Pyroscape, Fig. 8, Riskful Thinking

Point values changed:
The Blocks Cometh -- 10 point medal (first one) got zapped to 5.
10 Laps -- medals zapped to 0.
Santa vs. Gravity -- both medals got their values changed from 50 to 10.
Mechanical Ice Apocalypse -- derp. (personally I think it's because bcdefg123 changed the game a bit too much and the NG staff freaked out)

Of course, I could have errors in my spreadsheets. But after this, the points I've recorded in my spreadsheets now match the points in my NG profile!

I wish NG staff would set up a thread to announce such things. It would save us the trouble of digging old games up from time to time and wonder if the points have changed.

Tom said he saw that the medals for Mechanical Ice Apocalypse had blank images for them (which as we noted in this thread were happening on and off for a lot of games). So he thought we wanted the medals off. I told him that it was a problem on their end, so hopefully they'll go in and fix it.

Well, at least skiller is good for something:

Maneuver has a medal resend button. The 15 perfects medal is broke, but if you got all perfects, you can resend that one. Not sure if that was mentioned.

0 Point medals. Again, not sure if mentioned.

Can somebody pm me the secret medal for photogrounds? Something about being an underdog.

Yeah I need that medal too. Was wondering if it had something to do with having a low score though I haven't tried it yet.

Nope. The perfect ribbon medal used to work, but when the author tried to fix the 15 ribbon medal, he broke the perfect medal too. So people who played the game early on had a chance to get the 100 pts medal, but it's not possible to earn it now.

Also, If I remember correctly, the 10 pts secret medal in Photogrounds doesn't work either..

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-01-12 14:11:53


Maybe they used to send or something, because skiller has it. And he has a medal for getting 10,000 coins in this game:

I just held space for 20 minutes and got up to 10K but didn't get the medal

Forget I said that. He has all the new Shift medals, and they clearly don't send, so he's able to get medals that don't send I guess. If you're not into 0 point medals, disregard the following.

Here's a few more 0 point games you might not have:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/550757I remember this game, but could never get the medal. I remember a few pages ago somebody posted on how to play a game that had been blammed? there any way to play it?

Has anybody got past the first level? Can't find this black button for the life of me.

Somebody posted and said there were medals, and I thought it was a lie. But apparently there is one for beating the game. Does anybody have passwords? I only have the first, it's goomparty.

0 Points, but more than 20 medals you can get in about 2 minutes. Never saw this posted.

It has a resend medals button, but the button doesn't do anything. I really needed a brain break from coding and broke my no games before 7 rule to play, and I now have 31 perfect ribbons in the game and no medals for it.

Funny, because that was the only medal that was working when I first played it. I wasn't sure it was working as intended either. Typing random letters really fast is pretty stupid, and I say this as a person that has clocked 90+ wpm on individual tests.

Your other post suggested that plenty of people have tried various things. It would have been nice if you said what things were tried, just to avoid all the stupid trouble I'll experience when I test out my conjectures.

Oh yeah, about Photogrounds, that game is listed as "Newgrounds Photobook" on the medal wall. I hate that games get alternate names in different places >_>

At first the 10 pointer was the only medal that worked, and it was for failing at any point in the game I think. When he fixed the other medals, the fail one broke.

Same thing with Maneuver as someone said, he tried to fix the 15 ribbons and broke all perfect, so some people have an unattainable medal. ( :D )

They will get removed like Shift 4's eventually.

castlefeast is the 2nd password. There's also a secret area medal. You can find it in the area before you enter the cave with the first checkpoint. Just jump into a low lying ceiling to get to it.

The medal list references the .swf name, where as the game title references whatever the author puts into the box when they submit it.

There is also a secret area. You have to jump in a ceiling that is a little off somewhere.

According to the secret medal description, there's another one just like it later in the game. Not a bad game, though the rising lava level is a serious pain. I assume the second checkpoint is immediately after that level?

it came to our attention, that the medal for the 'secret medal' was too difficult, so we changed the score for the time being.

we have recently updated the game and made gameplay tweaks regarding the fuel and player.

for some reason it took longer to update the game than we thought and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused to you medal junkies :)

i have noticed people saying that the score of the medal is too high ;) PM you find this annoying and we can lower it for you!

The name you see when you hover over a medal is the name we chose to give the entry before it was finished, it has nothing to do with the .swf

for example when I set up the entry for Dungeon Dice I just called it 'Dice Game' because we didn't have an official title yet. You have to set up an api entry to handle scoreboards, medals, and ads before you actually submit to the portal.

These games should crawl up and die somewhere! >_<
