- Medal Guidelines to Keep in Mind
I haven't ever really spoken out about this, but in medal denials, so I'll go on official record with a few points on required items in medal recommendations and other general issues I've noticed lately:
- All MSE medals MUST include quantatative data, such as battles completed, multiplayer activity, IWATS completed, communications activity, and medals awarded to the pilot in that month. I will no longer approve a MSE medal if it doesn't include the medals awarded to the pilot that month and at least the general purpose of that medal being awarded. I want to cut down on double-awarding. Please note that what I'm specificially looking for are competition medals, web design medals, and things along those lines. Competition numbers must be included with every Iron Star medal recommendations. There are no excepetions to this rule. No merit medal may be awarded for any competition.
- Commendations of Bravery are to be awarded immediately after a pilot completes 30 missions. Any pilot who does so may request their CMDR to award this medal. This is not out of line, it's just making your CMDR aware that you have completed the required number of missions.
So, the ideal medal recommendation would look something like this:
Medal: |
Bronze Star of the Empire |
Awarded To: |
CMDR/CPT Forrest Gump/Alabama/Wing X/ISD Virginia |
Recommended By: |
COM/LT Dan/ISD Virginia |
Reason: |
Battles Completed:
XvT TC 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46IWATS:
IBX, M/1, AMP, MP, M/2, WM, CBX, and ICQCommunications Activity:
AIM, IRC, MBMultiplayer Activity:
[FW] FreeWorlds TE II
[FW] FreeWorlds TE III
[XvT] 24/7 9/14Medals Awarded:
MoH for efforts in combat over the past six months.
IS-GW for winning the Battlegroup Ping Pong Championship.CM Forrest Gump has been a great commander. He flew many battles this month as well as took many IWATS. Unfortunately, he has to step down as commander due to RL in the next week or so. For all his activity and for his work as commander, Forrest deserves a Bronze Star!
Another stellar month from one of our best CMDRs. He accumulated 476 points in Top Dawg and that is a great acheivment in itself. He maintains all his regular CMDR duties in a timely manner and is one of our best. Run Forrest Run! |
Confidential: |
False |
Please stick to a form like this. I know it takes a little bit longer, but I have yet to deny a medal that itemizes activity like this.

- Mission Accomplished
Super work everyone! It was an extreme pleasure and honor having you all participate in this competition and I'm glad to have hosted this, along with Ninj and Dweezil's help.
It was a rough patrol, I'm sure and that can be backed up by the people who had to drop out. I can personally back that up =P
I think everyone for their emails and their comments, but with the patrol going on I couldn't respond to every single one of them. Don't take it personally
Anyways, here are the Unofficial results, which I'm almost sure will be official soon. Congratulations to all pilots and I will award you your Iron Star-Gold Wings shortly. Good work and until next Summer: Fly High!
Here are Summer Patrol stats for your enjoyment http://users.pandora.be/dweezil/patrol/tcsp.html
