The Mappers Medallion, what it is, and how to get it.

[MaximilianZakes]

Is this something that you guys are going to keep giving as future mappers continue to arrive and make great maps?

Or are they only for people who have made great strides up to this point?

 

[Fruity Snacks]

No, this will be given out more in the future. If someone makes a notable contribution to the mapping community or takes a top 3 spot in any of our MAJOR contests, they will recieve one.

Hey sent you a PM Fr0Z3n

 

[Fruity Snacks]

I saw it, and am looking into it.

Also, the mappers medallion is in game, and if you are on my list, and you steam ID is linked to your TF2Maps.net account, you should have the medal. if you don't have the medal, and entered the artpass, please PM me (much like star)

When I emailed valve back about the medal I told them the guy who made the description should get a payraise.

Hope everyone enjoys their medal.

if you don't have the medal, and entered the artpass, please PM me

Sooooo what do I do if I do have the medal and didn't enter the artpass?

 

[Fruity Snacks]

To me it looks like you entered.

I guess we'd have to ask zpq. I seem to recall, after the page went online showing the entries, him saying that mine was only included to fill out the grid.

Chatted, you're good to go.


@Nerd, the reason why the requirements are what they are are outlined on the first page.

and here:

And no, I will not be giving it to all the people who have official maps. Why? The medal is a (our) community item, not a "I can map too, but aren't part of the community" item.

Most of the people who would be getting one are also getting on for other reasons, and they don't really need a medal for it when they get a community item + money + their name slapped on it.

If there comes a case where someone from this communtiy gets an official map, and doesn't have one for another reason, I will look into it on a case by case basis.

"Let's give out medals to everyone that entered this one contest but not the people that made the official maps"

I guess you missed the part where medals aren't restricted to the one contest they were supposed to be for and you had no complaints... And the part where official map authors had 3k + 70-150k stamps in their pocket and a community weapon.

Lol, regardless of the context I find this hilarious. Nothing says "I care about your work" like needing to fill out the corner of a grid.

On the other hand, given that all but two of the artpass maps became completely obsolete, if yours filled out a grid it probably accomplished more than any of the others. For that I think you deserve a medal more than anyone else.

Funny thing is, that page isn't even up anymore (or I'd have linked to it by now). The page announcing the contest is still there, but the one showcasing the entries isn't.

Edit: Clearly, that comment I made was in jest.
