idea for mafia medals

Posted July 3, 2012 by Wild Luxray

It looks like it could be awhile before Xhin gets a chance to rebuild the medals system. Until then, I have an idea to use some unused Olympics medals for the Mafia game. This will give some people(Redack) the new medal they are pining for, and hopefully boost interest in the game and get some new players.

Only players registered for or active in the current game will have their corresponding medal activated. These medals come in three types(Nothing I can do about the numbers inscribed on them, unfortunatly):


A gold medal for players with 20 or more points. Signifies that you are an exceptional player who has earned the right to host.

A silver medal for those with 10-19 points. Signifies a good player, who plays regularly, working their way up the ranks.

Bronze medal signifies a new or occasional player. Players with 9 or less points get this.

So what do you think?

If we were able to get more uploaded, other options could include "Won (((NUMBER))) Games", "Game MVP", etc.

They have been assigned for this game. Let me know if I missed anyone or gave a wrong medal.

To be honest, I wouldn't care what they read, I wouldn't care if they were in Roman numerals, this is a brilliant idea.

MajorasMask9, Teddy-Son, and LLight do not seem to have their medals.

As far as I know, LLight didn't register. I'll check the others in a bit.

Really you should do it for anyone that has ever played, not current registered members.

So we get medals just for playing now?

I have no idea what's wrong with Teddy and Majora's accounts. I assigned them both their medals, and the accounts screen shows them as assigned, but they don't show up in the threads.

I think the same thing happened with me for some Zelda-related medals a while back. Dunno what was wrong with my account.

Also, can't log into my account for some reason.

MajorasMask9

Majora, I was ghosting your account and testing some stuff. I had to change the password. It is "Majora" now. Go ahead and log in and cahnge it, and I will delete this post once you respond. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I did find the problem. Medals are automatically asigned to whichever screen name you have set as your account's primary names. Since Majora and Teddy have no primary name set, the medals are in limbo.

Just go into the User CP, click Account Setting, and put the name you are using as your Primary USer Name.

Feral, just some advice for the future. Don't post people's passwords on the forum, even if it's one you set and know they're going to change it as soon as they see it. It's bad practice as anyone could see that and use it to their hearts content before major sees it.

Not criticising you or anything, just offering some advice to avoid problems ^_^

Medals! Cool.

Yeah, bad move. I should have prepared for this whole endeavor better.

July 3, 2012

It's easily solved, I figure just keep an eye on what Majora posts (and the IP) until we know for certain he's the one using his account {:P}

And I'm just very paranoid about that kind of thing, my job involves me knowing a load of important passwords that cannot be misplaced :)

July 3, 2012

Redack

I was wrong about the primary names. Sothing else seems to be wrong with those accounts.

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

It's not something as simple as two accounts exist for them is it?

July 3, 2012
Edit
Redack

Feral I tried what you said and this came up

Account already exists.
Account passwords do not match.
Primary username does not exist
Primary Password does not match.

July 3, 2012

Teddy-Son

Yeah, I'm still investigating. Your account seems to think the "Teddy-Son" username doesn't exist. I'm wondering if the hypen "-" is confusing it...

July 3, 2012

Wild Luxray

Teddy, you are fixed. I changed your user and account names slightly to remove the hyphen from both, and it works fine now. When logged into your account, you should automatically post as "Teddy Son" from now on.

Majora, to get your medals, you will need to remove the apostrophe from your account name, then add a primary username that does NOT have the apostrophe.

I don't remember my password.

July 3, 2012

User or Account?

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

The "Teddy Son" name uses the same password as "Teddy-Son".

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

It says that it is invalid username or password when I try to log in.

July 3, 2012
Edit
Teddy-Son

I thought it was the same but its different. And I don't know how to log in with out a password.

July 3, 2012
Edit
Teddy-Son

You have to log in as "Teddy Son" and not "Teddy-Son".

July 3, 2012

I know I just forgot my password thanks Feral you are a huge help.{:)}

Back when I first made my account I had trouble with my "Majora's Mask" account. I created a new one for mafia (MajorasMask9) which doesn't have an apostrophe in it. That's the one I can't log into now.

July 3, 2012
Edit
MajorasMask9

There is no existing account under "MajorasMask9".

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

The only Majora related accounts are "Majora's Mask" and "Majora'sMask9".

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

Well, I just registered under "MajorasMask9" again. I know I never registed under "Majora'sMask9" before, so I don't know why that account exists. In fact I'm not even sure why I was able to register under "MajorasMask9" again, it's like my account was deleted or something.

July 3, 2012
Edit
MajorasMask9

Yep. Works now. You must have put the apostrophe in last time you registered without even realizing it.

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

I'm pretty sure I saw those medals in the system before. Are they just being recycled?

July 3, 2012
Edit
LLight

Yeah. They're unused GT-Olympics medals.

July 3, 2012
Edit
Wild Luxray

Yep. Works now. You must have put the apostrophe in last time you registered without even realizing it.


Wouldn't I have had to log in with the apostrophe name if that were the case? I've logged in under "MajorasMask9" without a problem every time since Mafia Game 1 started. Not to mention that the name "MajorasMask9" (no apostrophe) is the name I've used on every site outside of Gametalk since 2005, so I wouldn't have mistyped it on registration or anything.

Don't really care about it honestly since this new account works fine, but I just wasn't sure how that "Majora'sMask9" account was made in the first place. It's definitely different from the one I had before, and the one I used to use for mafia kind of just vanished.

Okay, stupid question. I have 8 points. What happens when I get 10? Is the bronze metal gonna be replace by silver? Or do I get to keep it and get the siver?

Replaced. Don't want clutter.

Sorry. I didn't mean to throw a baseball...Gotta stop keeping those in the same pocket of my bottomless bag of crap.
