Please do not include me in future updates of this list. When OCD+ was added to the roster it was made very clear (especially when Deliver That Fulp is also considered) that the NewGrounds Medal system is designed to insult the people who utilize it rather than as any real form of progress measurement. As such (unless something very drastic changes) I will no longer be actively attempting to obtain any NewGrounds Medals.
It´s just a matter of time before you drop off the list ;) And the requirements of this list increase so rapidly that it won´t take long.
I have to agree with you though that the OCD+ game was probably a bad idea. I thought the medals were actually created to make games more fun and interesting. But appearantly some authors like to give games near impossible medals just to laugh at those people who are going through the trouble of collecting them.
Sure they´re making a good point by saying that it´s insane what some people will do just to get the medal points, but at the same time they are ruining the medal system for those who are just trying to have fun collecting them.
If this trend continues, if we start to see more and more games with insane medal requirements just to laugh at the people who collect them, then they might as well delete the whole medal system for my part.
