.. With regard to the above can someone clarify the above part that is bolded ...

Let's take CounterStrike and CoD4 as an example:

If the Section Head for CounterStrike (Whitey) is happy that a member plays CounterStrike in a manner that befits the guidelines and the member has no disqualifying infractions - then he will award that member the 'CounterStrike Badge'. This allows that member to wear the CounterStrike tag when playing CounterStrike. It does not, for example, allow the member to wear the CoD4 tag when playing CoD4. To do this the member would need to have been awarded the 'CoD4 Badge'.

With regard to the above can someone clarify the above part that is bolded. Does this relate to the dmw tag or to an admin tag or simply to a badge in the forum. Bascially does each member need to be approved to have the game tag in each game before using it or am i reading too far into it?

Otherwise nice work .

Thinking outside the box on the badges for a moment would a "number of lans attended badge" be considered?

We're talking about game tags GM.  Can't think of a better way of wording it than the way Oldie did.  So the game tag for CSS is -=[dMw]=-, the game tag for COD4 is different, etc, etc.  Admins use the same in-game tag as everyone else.  So, everyone needs to be awarded the specific game badge by the section head of the specific game as they will be controlling the administration of the 'forum group' which automatically appends the badge to your forum account.

Re the multiple LAN adges, not sure.  I suspect it would mean too much work and potentially too many badges.  I would immediately be entitled to 14 LAN attendee badges for example and we do not have unlimited space for badges!

Well the Badge that is designed could have the number in it. I dont think the change of it would be that great.  But not very artisic so will leave it to the ones with talent.

Like the ideas and looking forward to implementations.

Yeah I was thinking numbers i a badge as well

Thanks for the clarification of the community changes OB and TL.

Regarding the Lan Badges idea i see your point TL. Even if we did design a lan badge for the number of lans attended this would cause a bit too much work as each year it would need to be updated to show the true number.

Seems good to me, so does this mean that if a Bravo member who plays a game new to themselves (Cod 4 for me for example), they would just remove their tag?

[TeaLeaf]

Yes.  Individual game tags will be earned and awarded per game, so you might have the Wow one and the CSS one, but not the COD4 one for example.

No more Bravo (or Charlie for that matter)

Section Heads will have the option to adopt a 'triallist' stage. This may or may not involve a distinct badge/tag. Unlike the old 'Bravo' group, the 'triallist' stage will be time limited i.e. you make the grade in the timescale dictated or you lose the chance to get the badge.

The only way I reckon this would be doable is if you banded it.  1-5 Lans, 5-10 Lan, 10-15 Lans and over 15 Lans for example.

Although unless someone comes up with the artwork it ain't going to happen.

it ain't going to happen.

PEN

yeah.... (way too much admin with multi groups otherwise)

[Zootoxin]

Sounds like a bright future ahead.
Thank you for you're continued efforts.

Is there also coming a "thingy" for members that gonna play CS:S matches for dMw.?

I have thought about this and I'll discuss it with Whitey.

[Sithvid]

It all seems like a good idea to me, would students and pensioners get a discount? :2cents:

Not that either apply to me

[Jabbs]

All looking good to me!

What about secondary games we play such as Insurgency?  Will these come under a primary game heading?  i.e. Insurgency under CSS?

Cheers.
