War of the Web is not really a fair game. Kong has at least twice as many users as Newgrounds. I tried very hard to to get the 100 point medal, but it did not work.

Anyway can anyone PM me the last secret medal for 2011 - A quiz in review?

I'd also like a PM about this as well.

Also, I still would like a PM about that secret medal on Puzzle Thief if anyone has gotten it.

Saves for me, and I think I'll do the same since I've already done 3 playthroughs : /

It doesnt save because you have to start over after you close your browser window. I noticed that myself after he said it doesn't save.

They all worked for me, but there are two 0-pointers. They're all very easy to get by the way. It shouldn't take you longer than 5 minutes to beat the game.

I was wondering about that. I swear i melted at least a hundred or more. I noticed, too, at least for me anyway, that the game doesn't save after you leave. O well. Got 2 medals from it, and will play again when the others are fixed.

all medals worked for me .. maybe it got fixed :O

So... I beat the game, but I'm missing the third secret medal and the 250 rep medal. Apparently the game thinks I still have two missions to play in the Nyx Conglomeration, and two upgrades to get from Occator Prime. Not sure what the deal is with Nyx, but the third mission where you attack the transports affects the areas you can visit in Occator.

My advice for now: don't destroy anything in the third mission. If you do, you'll lose all your credits (which isn't a big deal), but you'll probably get the opportunity to earn every medal.

Also, in the miner farming mission, colored asteroids and large asteroids give you lots of ore. I'm not going to object crashing your ship into the colored asteroids for some easy money xD (don't do it for the large ones though, they hurt.)

Hm, played the as soon as it was released and I didn't have any trouble unlocking those medals. The 3rd secret medal can be earned at Amaethon and you should reach 250 rep by collecting upgrades. The game even thought I had 5 (!) more upgrades to earn at a certain region, but it didn't affect unlocking medals.

Awesome game though, could've been a bit harder.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2012-03-22 10:58:06


I don't know if anyone knows, if so, I'm sorry for bothering you. But the names of all medals (including the secret medals) is visible in the html code. You can then copy the link and paste where you normally type the name of the site you want to visit, and you will be able to see the image too. Just a trick :)

It doesn't show you how to get it though. Maybe I can find that too, but I don't think so.

Yeah, see, when I played the game the first time through, those guys were dead from sickness. Buying 9 reputation for 3000 credits? Certainly would play a role in both medals D=

I haven't been active here for a while...

Has the medal submission been fixed yet? I'm definitely not going to go through a ton of games if I'm not likely to get the medals. Looks like it'll have to wait for summer regardless, so hopefully the system will be working smoothly by then.

I guess I can understand the reason for making secret medals actually secret, but it's annoying that I'll have to earn at least one medal from a game (or look at the page of someone else who has) to be able to see the game's total medal points to put on my spreadsheet (which I haven't updated since November 27, lol, that'll be fun). At least they have those totals. And user medal lists have pages, that's good, was pretty much the only change that was really needed with the redesign. Other than in-site rankings, which apparently hasn't happened.
Also, I looked a little more closely at my medals list, apparently secret medals don't show the date you earned them or point value even when you have them? Is that supposed to happen?

But anyway, it looks like much more work is needed to make the medal system a full, working feature of the site.

Also, looks like there still isn't a link from the post reply page back to the topic you're replying to. Bah.

It worked briefly during the redesign launch, then it broke down, then it started working again, then it broke down again, and now it's working again.

The window of opportunity for you to earn medals without refreshing the page has gone down a bit though =/ I was playing When I Was Young and was one achievement away from getting the 100 pt medal, afk'd for 5 hours, came back, finished it, didn't get medal.

Other than in-site rankings, which apparently hasn't happened.

I think it's still a bit soon for official site rankings for this, due to lack of security and poor quality control. Honestly, I'm not sure what is the best way to go about doing both =/

You can see the point value of the secret medals when you earn them, but that's the only time you get any direct input on that. I'm assuming it's not supposed to happen, but I can't imagine it being a high priority fix either.

It are games like that which make me wonder whether making the medal system public is such a good idea. I mean, this is just getting silly.

It's a pretty tough game. It would be easier if the wood platform was invisible, because that's the main thing that fools my eyes into thinking it's tougher than it looks >:(

Nearly every question the game throws at you for the first 5 questions in classic mode are a joke, and can be answered without ever having played the game it asks about. However, it gets unusually specific sometimes for questions 11-15. Question difficulty is considerably varied in Marathon and Time Attack modes. Also, the author likes Sky Defender or something.

Also also, the game apparently resends your medals, cause now my alt has them all. lol

Hmm, seems rather impossible to get past the second screen, you die before you can do anything and can't aim up.

I'm not sure it even matters, because I lucked out in killing an alien and no medal unlocked. Unless it was just me. The author of the game doesn't even have any medals for it.
