Another week of more missing medals. I did happen to gain some, but not enough. I will take 190 more any week. lol

At least it wasn't much of a lose.
Cheers for the update H-O-S.

Well the thing is, they're either games being removed, or they're medals that are no longer possible to obtain and have been confirmed broken. So it's not really fair to have medals that literally no one else can obtain, no matter how good they are at the game.

That said, there's still a *lot* of games that need removing medals-wise as they're essentially banned games that Newgrounds users aren't allowed to play but yet they have medals and that'll raise the scores of people who have those. And then there's some discrepancies I've seen like people having *more* medals points on particular games than the game even has medals period. Probably because they obtained some previous medals that were removed from the game, but the points not removed or something like that. It's very inconsistent like that.

Personally I think they should be consistent. If it's not a game anyone can play anymore, it's not really fair to count toward total score. If it's not a medal anyone can obtain anymore, it's not really fair to count toward total score. So it makes sense to remove them, but they need to consistently do that. There's a number of banned Mario games, for example, that people still have medals on.

Yeah, it kinda sucks when you lose medals that you worked for, but it sucks more when it's not even possible to obtain them. And I've lost medals in games as well before. I think anyone beyond a certain score point probably has. And yeah, it sucks because some of those medals were legitimately hard to obtain. But so it goes. If people can't play a game anymore it's not really fair to have unobtainable medals no one else can get.

Nuff said. I wouldn't write it better. I only wonder why the Moderators stopped saying anything about dealing with those medals from games that have been removed?
I also met the cases in which a game on somebody's wall had a value of something like 300/0, because the author made the medals unavailable.

Indeed, it's only fair certain medals get removed, but still is a bit depressing. All that play for naught... would be nice if you could retain the medals; just lose the stats related to them. Memories.

This would be valid as well.

In fact having multiple medals sections would be ideal and I've brought this point up to staff before in the past, but I don't think they're so keen on it. It's probably a bit tricky to code in the back-end if I was to guess their reasoning.

It would be ideal to have three medals sections per each user. One of them, the normal medals section. One of them, a retired medals section, where the user could voluntarily put certain things (it would still count as normal medals site-wide and points-wise though, but just a sort of organizational feature for the user's own benefit). And then a third medals section could have the discontinued medals or games, which don't add up any medals points to the totals.

I mean yeah it sounds great but I think maybe there's some tricky nuances in there. Stuff that could potentially break stuff if it's not implemented perfectly. Extra database requirements and so on. I'm not sure of the specifics.

'Retired' and 'Discontinued' sound like they might serve the same purpose - maybe something like 'Archived' and 'Retired´ or 'Done' and 'Deleted'? I like the idea. I guess they'd need to revise the system to get medals to stay in the database even when removed, add in a column for medal category, and redesign the medal section with added tabs? Actually doesn't seem that difficult, but I guess they have their hands full with more important projects right now. Would love to see something like that in the future though. Your categorization would make it easy to filter out all the games you've finished, from the ones you want to get back to later on

Maybe even better btw: two default categories, Active and Inactive, and any amount of custom-called categories for the user to create and sort by.

Not at all.

Retired would be games which you no longer have interest in playing but which are nevertheless clogging up your medals lists, which can easily get into the hundreds of pages when you have a lot of them. These medals still count towards your totals and you can freely move games between the active or retired lists, and can still earn medals on retired games/etc... but it's more like a way for the user to self-organize than any site-wide thing.

Discontinued would be games which are no longer available to play *and* medals from games which are no longer available, despite other medals in those games being available. So you'd actually have some duplication in the "Active" and "Discontinued" lists, in the cases of games which had some, but not all, of their medals removed, if you'd obtained any of the removed ones. You could not choose which games or medals went into the discontinued area, because that would be site-wide and wouldn't just be per-user.

The short of it -- Retired medals count, whereas Discontinued medals don't, points-wise.
Also, Retired medals are user-selectable whereas Discontinued medals aren't.
Also, Retired medals are more of a guideline than a rule, whereas Discontinued are a rule.
(You could still gain medals in games you'd placed in "Retired" -- it's more just for your organizational benefit)

I understand, but they do sound like they could mean the same thing. Both retired and discontinued refer to something being put away; I'm not sure new users would immediately understand what the terms imply and how they differ. Active and Inactive seems like a more obvious categorization IMO, and with other categories definable by the user, at least the default ones would always be as intuitive as possible.

Well, if the system were implemented as I've described, I don't see how there would be confusion. By default you wouldn't have any medals at all in "Retired Medals". They would all be in "Active Medals" except for games which were site-wide disabled or medals which were site-wide disabled, and those would be forced into the "Discontinued Medals" section.

So someone who didn't know anything more about it should find majority of their medals in "Active Medals" anyway, with those being in "Discontinued Medals" being obviously discontinued and no longer counting, sort of like cards that are overpowered and banned from trading card games, but you can still keep or own the card if you like, but you just can't play it. So it would be a gallery of sorts, without adding to the medal totals, points-wise.

"Retired Medals" would just only be whatever you put there -- the intended use would be for you to put games you don't care about in that section, so they won't clog up your medals lists and so you won't have hundreds of pages to scroll through to find the games you're actively interested in. This would be for all those "Play it once to get the medals and then never again" type games, as well as games that, despite not having all the medals, you just really hate and don't wish to see. But you could freely move games from the "Active" to the "Retired" sections or vica-versa and site-wise wouldn't have any difference (Games in either section still count toward points totals and you can still earn medals in games you've moved to your "Retired" section).

Just a way to improve organization really. Because as-is the medals become less and less navigable the more of them you have because while it might not be a big deal to go through 10 pages to find some game to play, when you're at the hundreds of pages stage, that's far less useful. Plus there might be a good amount of those games you don't really care so much about anymore anyway. Wouldn't you rather have 10 pages of games you care about than hundreds of pages of games you don't, with no real way to find the game you do care about except wading through those hundreds of pages?

Right, yeah, I see your reasoning. Learning by seeing, that'd work. The additional tabs could be invisible until they're used, as well. Once you're prompted to 'retire' a game, you'd be told what it does, and discontinued could have a simple prompt/slogan the same way.

Looks like I'll probably have to make my way back to the Top 100s after summer again. :/ Medals be disappearing still... thanks for the update though H-O-S!

A special celebration today: entered 400K zone!

By the way: I promised myself that one day I will do it and here it goes: basing on Nijsse's account - the list of medals that cannot be obtained because of various reasons. The Chalkboard Pong case is interesting because the author made the medals unavailable because of a bug, was going to write to the Staff for permanent deleting of them. And another by the way: @Nijsse - you got a bad display of medals in the Transmorpher 2 game, it shows 780/395 points, not sure if it also affects the others.
Since once Nijsse mentioned that he couldn't fix the situation with the games like CXT Mazes by himself - the ones from the deleted games - I am putting an info about it here for @PsychoGoldFish
I know that this can make some people even furious on me, but it is all about a fair competition on the list and this is why I am posting it here.

Nice to finally have a decent week again. Grats HerbieG on once again being the top gainer.

Congrats!!

And good research. I'm happy to say I don't recognize most of the games you listed, hopefully not too many points to be lost there...

Another week losing more medals. Somebody has to stop this before users get pissed and trying to earn medals.

The best way to even not notice it is to earn enough new medals :-)
Sometimes it is just a developer's decision, for example last week BeminFire radically decreased the value of the medals in his previous games, this week I noticed that the same happened to medal points in Pooper Deluxe, initially they all were worth from 25 to 100 points, currently 25 points is the highest value.

Oh, that's good to know. I'm glad Bemin didn't remove them altogether! Those are the types of games I fear some authors might get rid of completely as they improve, and want to distance themselves from early works. At least medal amount shouldn't be decreasing so much then...

Actually I even partially convinced him to bring back Bemin 3, because he removed it completely :-)

That solves everything. lol

Between medals vanishing and medals value being decreased, things have not been happy in the world of medals. This has been going on how many months, six or more? I do not see things getting better anytime soon.

Definitely :-) If you are not gaining medals constantly, every loss will be visible and painful. Maybe you should go back to your streak of gaining no less than 1000 - 1500 points a week?

It is a broader problem. We all agree - I hope - that something that is not working should be removed. About the reasons: bugs, games being removed, broken medals, problems with newer technologies, with plug-ins used by developers to apply medals, the non-NG ones... unfortunately medals from one of the games that Syrreal mentioned recently, the baloon one, will probably go down as well since as I spoke with ErnieTheMighty there is no solution in sight. Unfortunately I couldn't help, because the tool I was using was a Firefox-only one and Mozilla stopped supporting it.

Aw, Balloon King? That's a shame, had no problem gaining those medals - though it sure took some time. :/ Moments like this, that removed medal archives seems like a really really wishable feature addition.

Nice work! :)

That would probably drop me back below 400K, need more medals! ;-)
Luckily apparently Fil1994 fixed his game since somebody earned medals in Dark Bullet 5 hours ago, so @Syrreal - go get'em! :-)
About that archive idea that you were discussing with NeonSpider lately - a good idea, but I am afraid it would be too complicated for the Staff to implement. That's why it is good to have a MGS account :-)

Nice work! :)

Thanks! He did it because he was not satisfied with it, but in fact the only things that I can see that are a bit bad in this game are the too-floaty jumping and the lack of borders, but in total the game is not bad :-)

I don't think it would be that complicated to add, though maybe time-consuming, and I suppose they're pretty busy with other things. Will definitely suggest the feature whenever opportunity presents itself. Good thing MGS exists indeed! :D

Agree all his games so far have been decent, the ones I've played at least. A bit basic maybe, but never buggy or bad. Hope they stay up forever! It takes a confident artist to keep even that work which they aren't so proud of any longer.

Thank you. I didn't notice (and also didn't expect) the fix.
