Although the re-locking platform fixed itself for me, I stopped earning money & dev skill like Fioresa after maxing out the money & teaching. I had 4-5 upgrades left for dev upgrade (to get to 5 seconds per game and only 3 platforms left to max (I wasn't sure if maxing all would get a % so I maxed them anyway).

Is the dev upgrade working for you? I cannot upgrade it, the button is white, but not clickable.
What is your current percentage of achievements?

Looks like no medals can be earned anymore from this game since it fails to load any opponents data, so the race cannot even begin:

Last medal unlocked: 2 years ago.

Yes. The thing about the dev upgrade is that there are only a few actual places where you can click that work (one of them, the one I used, is near the 'smudge' on the bottom line of the button). I was at 96.5% I think, with 4-5 dev upgrades and just upgrading the 3 platforms left (although 1 was at 940 and the other at 800+ so if maxing them all do nothing then meh, the third was in the 100's I think).

If the game does not load, than the medals should be removed.

Let's say I am doing this "on a regular basis". Take a look at this from a different point of view: currently you cannot earn any medals from those games.

About Universo: I tried PMing the only one that unlocked it, awaiting response. I hope that it isn't an occasional hacker. There are plenty of them, they usually don't have many points on their account, but once in a while they just like to hack something. I mean for example the one I wrote Knuckstrike some time ago, there is also one guy that unlocked medals for creating 1000 and 10 000 games in the Life of a Developer at the same time, which is pretty impossible. He did not respond to my direct question about it.
Regarding bungee: I was constantly checking that game for some time and since October nobody earned anything from it. I wrote Chaz about it, but he cannot check anything about this game anymore since he lost all the files.

By the way, nice to see you back :-)
Oh, once in a while I just have to ask this inconvenient question - I know that I'm already a pain in the ass about it ;-)
When you - the Moderators - are going to deal with those medals from deleted games? The list here is even 3-4 times longer than the one I posted yesterday.

It's not a Flash game though, it's HTML5. It won't have a .sol file. And I know it's worked for everyone else before me, but do check the high scores and see for yourself. Why would it register my high score but not give me the medal if that medal wasn't broken? Further, why does the medal never award no matter how many times I make scores that are within passing range, if that medal isn't broken?

I believe it may have been working at the time you and others earned it, but not by the time I got around to it.

You probably lost the connection when you reached 10k. Then the game saved as if you've earned this medal.
So, deleting the .sol file or the saved file may fix the problem.

At one point I had a feeling that Nijsse had enough of me urging for this all the time ;-)
Speaking of Nijsse, I know that actually the API Moderators can do something about it. When I first raised this subject Nijsse himself fixed some of the stats regarding 2 or 3 removed games. He only wrote that he is not able to remove the points from one game I pointed out with "submission deleted" status, I assume it's because he doesn't have a direct access to the medals from the games that do not exist in the NG system anymore. Those cases can require PsychoGoldfish's assistance.
I don't know if it is Nijsse that is the only moderator that is authorized to deal with the other cases - medals from games removed by moderation team or removed by author, not sure whether the others cannot do it, but I know that he can.

But as NeonSpider wrote, this game is not generating a sol file. I checked my computer and I have only one abyss-entitled sol file, but it surely has been created by the first abyss game.

This is why I am constantly saying that NG should promote including the "re-send medals" feature in medal games.

None of that makes any sense. Here's why.

At 12/12/16 03:18 PM, NeonSpider wrote: It's not a Flash game though, it's HTML5. It won't have a .sol file.

Also, if I'd lost the connection then why did the score register? That doesn't make any sense.

And plus I've already stated I've tried this multiple times and on both Firefox and Chrome. Even if it were some sort of caching issue, it shouldn't have affected *both* browsers if that were the case.

Simply put this medal is not going to unlock for me, and that's not fair. It is broken and should be removed. You have proof enough that I've earned this and yet haven't been awarded it, in the form of the high score tables for that very game.

At 10/30/16 01:25 AM, EdyKel wrote: Another common problem is that authors will often create redundant medals. For example:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/681214
You get 2 medals for beating the boss level, one for the child and one for the the gem. What is the point of that? And, conveniently, it all totals 500 points, for a very easy game you can probably beat in half an hour. SO, I'm thinking of removing the gem medals, because that is the only thing we can do to lower the total medal points of the game to better reflect the of type of challenge it offers.

And, "yes", we do announce our intentions to other mods when we plan to remove medals because of high point values not reflecting the challenge/s. If any of them object, well discuss it further, otherwise, we go through with it. But it's not something we do often, only in extreme cases, where the abuse is very clear.

If you're going to remove *any* medals from that game, start with the actually broken "Circus Saved" medal. It's one of those I've tried multiple times and it never awards. Obviously it awards for some people but not others. Either way it's broken and should be removed.

Looks like we got some problems with the game/medals here:

For me the main game even did not start, it got stucked on the tutorial. Last medal unlock: over a year ago.

I also remember my problems with this game, with the 5000 medal I think, I had to replay the game, but it finally unlocked. As far as I remember NeonSpider was using Linux, maybe it is causing some problems with that?

The main problem is how do we define a broken medal? A medal that is not working for everybody - that is obvious. But what if it works for some players and for others it doesn't?

There are plenty of examples like this on Newgrounds. I recently asked about this game:

EdyKel answered that it is working for him, while for me after the preloader there is only black screen. I cannot make it work on any browser and I tried on XP and 8.1. It even doesn't work on gamezhero website - and obviously they did not care to answer - or fix the problem. Judging from ionrayner's review I am not the only one experiencing that problem.

There is also this game:

I finished it twice already - and did not get the medal for 3 stars on every level. What's more, I had once a talk with crankbait about that problem and he had to replay the game 3 or 4 times to finally get it! But people ARE unlocking it, so it cannot be considered as broken.

From the other point of view: if we were to remove medals that are partially not working it could lead to possible exploitation of this fact. One could say: "I suck in this game, cannot get that medal, so I will declare that it is broken. If I cannot earn it, nobody will".

So if I am usually radical in my opinions about removing the broken medals then in this situation I say that those medals should not be removed.

If you're going to remove *any* medals from that game, start with the actually broken "Circus Saved" medal.
This medal works but requires a certain condition. You have to click on the circus after you beat the final boss. Keep clicking until you get it.

I don't quite remember now, but I think it unlocked for me even without doing this.

Not broken. The 'Teamwork' medal unlocks when you end the game and the other two when ending the level.

There is one thing I have to mention, apparently once there was a game named Raton Saltarin that has been removed, but on the account of every person that had medals from it it is causing some mess on the medal wall. I've already seen many examples of it, probably the weirdest one is the look of @EdyKel's wall:
http://edykel.newgrounds.com/stats/medals?page=225
I think that probably only @PsychoGoldfish can fix that.

I know what you're saying but it unlocked for me (2 days ago). I don't know what went wrong on your side but the medal is working. I think we need more people to confirm this.

And me playing and achieving that same thing ten more times is likely not going to award it. Honestly it's an annoying achievement anyway due to how much time it takes, combined with a pretty large chance it won't award once achieved anyway.

I mean who knows. Maybe I play the game, achieving that 50 times, and it awards one of the times? It's still pretty broken.

If you're going to remove *any* medals from that game, start with the actually broken "Circus Saved" medal.
This medal works but requires a certain condition. You have to click on the circus after you beat the final boss. Keep clicking until you get it.

Yeah, 100% this does *NOT* work. I just tried it. The medal is broken but you don't want to believe that because it worked for you. It is broken. @HerbieG is correct that it probably should award simply by beating the game anyway, but yes I did now just go back and try beating it, then clicking the tent a bunch and ... nothing.

Also it should be noted that game spams connections to Newgrounds or something, because it seems often when I play that game I'll get some warning about slow down/etc... and this doesn't happen with other games. I can only imagine that game is slamming the servers for some reason.

Perhaps this is related to that medal not awarding?

Perhaps the game should just be taken down completely if it's causing problems with Newgrounds' servers.

people ARE unlocking it, so it cannot be considered as broken.

Yea, I don't think it's broken, but I can't confirm it myself.

The medal should award right away, or when you try again. If it doesn't, then it's either broken or there is some kind of a problem on your side which I don't know what it is.

Yeah, 100% this does *NOT* work. I just tried it. The medal is broken but you don't want to believe that because it worked for you. It is broken.

So, I'm lying? because I'm dying to keep that awesome medal? Yeah..
I don't care if you believe it or not. EdyKel and the author told me to click on the tent after beating the final boss. Both me and EdyKel got it on 31/10/2016 (with one other user). I kept clicking everywhere on the tent until I got it. But I guess I'm lying..
The medal stays.

@HerbieG is correct that it probably should award simply by beating the game anyway,

Told the author to change the medal's description, but he didn't.

Well I've been telling you over and over again that it literally doesn't award, and I've already achieved that multiple times, with multiple birds, and it just doesn't want to award. So, maybe it's awarded for other people. Coolio for them. But there's still something broken about it.

No, but I love the insinuations and implications here.

I never once said you were lying. To lie one must intentionally deceive. You're not lying but your beliefs are false. *However* to even throw this kind of accusation around means you are accusing me of lying, and that's a baseless accusation. In the case of the bird game, you have my high scores as proof I'm telling the truth. In the case of the clown game, you can use statistical probability to infer I'm telling the truth (because honestly it is way beneath my skill level). But you refuse to see this due to bias.

I'll spell it out like this. If a medal works for literally everyone else but not for you, would you consider it broken? I believe you would. If a medal works for you but it doesn't work for some others, you are less inclined to consider it broken. That's a bias because in both cases you should consider it broken. Also people are less likely to see their own biases (and this itself is also a bias). You're not behaving as a neutral party in this.

I've already tried all this stuff you're telling me to try. And I'm telling you it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Fact. Maybe it worked for you and others but it doesn't work for me. It's not that difficult to understand.

@HerbieG is correct that it probably should award simply by beating the game anyway,

Well he should fix the medal, not just the description. As-is that medal doesn't award for me even if I'm clicking the tent after I win. I don't know why you won't believe me in this. I never said it didn't work for you or some others. All I'm saying is it doesn't work for at least some people, and thus is broken.

I mean maybe I'll try it some more and see but I'm not holding my breath.

Or there is something wrong on your side, which is what I've been saying.
Only others can confirm this right now.

Not really, because I said multiple times there is something wrong on your side (I don't know what's wrong). Clearly, this is not an accusation.

If a medal works for literally everyone else but not for you, would you consider it broken?

No it's not, there is clearly something wrong on MY side. Or the game hates me.
The medal stays.

That's a bias because in both cases you should consider it broken.

In both cases it's working. Unless more people can confirm otherwise.

No it's not difficult to understand but I guess you are forgetting the fact that you're playing flash games which have all kinds of problems and glitches. A game may work for some people while others see a black screen. A game that lags badly for some but doesn't lag for others. Medals work for you but not for me. Many more glitches and bugs. You are not playing Steam or PS4 games. They are just flash games.. filled with wonders.
