Very cool! I wonder if I'd seen this at all before... what happens if you try to jack in on the main page - is this somehow linked to NG? Or NG Logs? Back-end?

I have requested API access, but it is extremely low on their list of priorities, so I wouldn't hold anyone's breath.

It protects the program functions, don't want to have public access to buttons that can affect the database.

And so R.I.P. my title reign: 6th February 2021 - 16 May 2024.
3 years and 3 months. Not bad!

Now behave yourself: hail to the new king!

i feel like i haven't been actively collecting medals for that long (maybe a couple years), so i wasn't expecting to be up there.
my account is way older because i joined around middle school, then completely forgot about it until years later;
then i just happened to remember my password somehow, and here i am lol

Seems currently the bar for entry (as per the last update) is 127,670 points, so you need just a bit more to qualify. ;)

Unfortunately updates have also been on pause here for a while now, issue with the script that fetches these stats, hopefully it's back on track soon. You can also see the top 200 on NG Logs here, though included users aren't exactly the same, maybe this'll be back and running when you're ready to be on it!

Congrats on the 100k though! Massive amount.

This list hasn't been updated in some time unfortunately, though it seems you definitely quality for whenever it's back on track again! For now, you could see your rank here: https://www.wkrconcepts.com/nglogs/index.php?id=lists

...at the start of next month on the 'Top 200 Medal Users' list. Just added your name to the database there - lists are updated at the start of each month, so you'll be there then.

The only problem with this list is that it does not exclude cheaters that have been removed here or even from the official ranking.

i don't exactly actively put effort into farming medals. i have a whole bunch of games bookmarked that i want to get around to playing eventually, but usually i just check what's new and stick to that.
in that sense, thanks to pixel day, there's been a lot of games to go through;
though i can't exactly say i've been enjoying my time with them much: aside from a few gems, most of the recent games with medals are either way too shitpost-y for my liking, or they're 3d games that require mouse movement (which i'm currently unable to play due to missing one atm).
even though i'm getting quite a few medals from them, i can't say i'm making any "meaningful" progress because i feel like i would have never bothered playing most of these otherwise.

when i make pseudo-guides for some medal games it's usually because i enjoyed them enough to bother putting in extra effort into them, while also helping others who like me enjoy collecting medals for no reason.
because i haven't seen anything in particular lately that quite grabbed my attention, i've been going back to previous games i left unfinished, though i haven't really worked on any of those either because i've been somewhat busy IRL.

so yeah, just wandering around here every now and then with no real objective;
which is when i was reminded of this thread and decided to check what's been going on lately

You get too complicated medals that I definitely won't get

yeah i've been kind of a gamer lately lol.
i usually just browse new games and try to clear them out as much as i can, so i reckon it's just an issue of "not enough information being available".
i'm sure after some time passes, someone will come up with some way to make them easier to get.
it's usually just an issue of how many people have been playing a specific submission.

if it's not something skill-based feel free to send me a DM if you need help with something and i'll see what i can do.
always happy to help
