On my page it says,

"Recent Medals
Drag this pod to rearrange your default layout.
You don't have any medals. "

I know I have medals though, because I just got 3 from A small favor, I got all of them from another small favor yesterday, and I had some more from other various games... When I go to a game that I know I have medals from, they seem just fine, I can see the medals I have and have not earned.

Since this is the medals thread, I decided to post it here instead of making a new thread. Hopefully that was the right thing to do.

This is caused by the admins fixing the API or something. Last time this happened, your medals would be back if you earned one (or just waited out).

Mmk, I think I am going to wait it out. (No clue what an API is though.) It's nice to know I am not the only one experiencing this.

It wasn't fixed. You see, sometimes the admins have to fix the API (the coding for the ads, medals and stuff like that), which causes it to go offline for a while. When they're done, it's back up. I must say it was done pretty quickly this time.
Also, if I remember well, after the first API fix a few medal games with 0-pointers got them approved. Maybe it happens again...

I can't say for sure if new games have appeared (I don't have access to my crappy lappy because I'm at college), but now all the games that don't show medals on their page for some reason are fixed. Blasting Agent also shows up properly on the gameswithmedals list.

PsychoGoldfish also swears in PMs lol xD

Time to play Riskful Thinking! When I get home of course.

This has happened to me before and quite a few other people (look at Liquidooze's post above yours), but it's really just a glitch in the API. I refreshed the page a bit, logged off, and switched websites. I came back and my medals were there again.

Gravitee Wars: the medal for upgrading all your guys does work, but it requires you to have upgraded all your weapons as well.

Maneuver: word from the developer is that he's tried everything he can think of, and just can't get those last two medals working. I suggested he go back to the original code where the one for all perfect ribbons worked and then work from that; no news from him since then

Just wondering, has anyone tried to legitimately beat OCD+'s "The Pianist"? The farthest I can get is shortly after what I assume is the segment talking about NG's voting system, I assume the language is Czech or something. I can do absolutely fine until that point, then I quickly get swamped =(

This is NOT about how to get medal with alternate methods.

I refer to the medal called "I'll go out there"

It's in the bottom right-hand corner of the map. When you are walking around the tunnel down there, there are some arrows pointing in the direction you need to bomb. And yes, you will die LOTS doing it.

I'm missing pacifist and the speed run medal. I gave up on level 1 for Pacifist because of the part where you have to go south along a hallway and then turn either way, because something always seems to be heading up the hallway before I can get to the end of it. On level 2 it's probably the room with the turrets where something dies, because those horizontal channels are long. I know I got that far three times and had to restart because something got shot.

Also, did anyone else figure out that you can completely ignore the intended level structure for level 2 by just blowing holes everywhere you want to go? I don't know whether it speeds things up, but it certainly makes it easier to get around over time.

Pacifist is only possible on level 1 and only on v1.3 of the game (which is the one on NG right now). In v1.3 sentry gun fire does NOT count against you if it hits a bot. The trick to it is this: the re-spawn points (tiles with circles on) are safe zones. Bots know not to walk on them. So as you creep from area to area remain fixed on those where possible to avoid any contact. Also more importantly - blow the crap out of the land outside, if you make it big enough when they wander into it they will explore the area for ages, because their primitive AI sees it all as "new ground".

The speed run is easier if you built the game like me I guess, but it's totally possible :) Press S to skip the shmup sequences if you're attempting a speed run, will save you a few seconds.

If you want maps of the levels, PM me. Although you're supposed to blow the crap out of them anyway and pretty much ignore the structure if you want.

Go here and copy/paste the part in italics. I'd say that's legitimate. Also, it's not Czech, but Dutch ;)

Well, so much for "Finish any level and keep ALL bots alive" >_> I believe a description change is in order if what you say works (and you are the programmer after all).

The speed run medal is easily done by playing level 3 only =) That's how I got it anyways...

It becomes quite luck-based past 40 because there's only one gap. How irritating, considering you can't even run from one end to the other before the place closes up.

Exactly this. He should modify the game so that you spawn in the middle of the level each time.
