[The medal system] was meant to be an incentive for players to try out different Roles in the events so they can earn all the medals, i.e. if you already have the attacker medal maybe you should try shielding to get that medal.

There is not hard and fast rule about who gets a medal - as you all know the game can be quite fast sometime so you dont have the time to think about who is doing really well, but you might just be able to spot that one guy building the barricades every 4 rounds or maybe the healer running back and forth all the time making sure everyone is alive or the shielder standing there like a wall not moving even though he is swarmed with enemies.

I don't really care enough to have an issue with this (yeah it would promote teamplay maybe more if the whole team got a medal, but I don't see the point in that). It does seem pretty easy for the captains to be biased however and it would also be nice if the captain could get a medal. I think a poll after the event in which every one can vote for the person who did best would be quite fun as well, but seeing you can only add one poll per thread on this forum this would either warrant a shit load of stupid threads or someone having to do annoying work on changing the poll every few days to see who is the most popular at every role.

However current situation is fun enough and I like it

Funnily enough I have already thought of a Captain medal but I just havent had the time to implement it. Also maybe a Server medal or something might be a good idea, awarded to everyone in the server for being Prince or something.

I also did think about a public vote system but like you said it would take a lot of managing or a lot of threads - neither of which we want. So the only fair way I thought it could be done is by having the captains do it. Don't forget me and Birdtalon have the final say so if we think people are being biased to friends or house members we will pick up on it. The captains do give me an explanation as to why the medals are due, so they are justified.

Also, just so you know, if you look at the medals awarded you'll notice that out of the 3 servers running there weren't 3 medals in each category, meaning that people didn't really stand out in those Roles on some of the servers, so medals are not just being awarded randomly.
