Medals, and why we can't talk about them

[KikiMofo]

I really wanna know how you get "Honk HONK Mother FU-"

Like I'm an admin and I have no fucking idea what a good chunk of the really obscure medals are actually for, which is kinda dumb IMO. Make medal requirements openly knowable, and either make announced medals appear at the end of the game or we just crush people who openly metagame using them. For instance, most players know exactly what medal means "changeling" and what medal means "traitor with a c-saber" after long enough or getting them themselves, and we're fooling ourselves if we say that they dont at least partially change how they play once they see one, even if they dont start hunting down the source of the medal.

Anything that gets people to do more of the hilarious and obscure shit that medals involve is good IMO, and being more open about it might mean we can make more medals for stuff like Telescience (beyond Icarus, that is), mad science, actually completing your personal objectives as a janitor/chaplain, and the like. I like medals.

I like medals too but what I really like are Achievement rewards. I want more of those.

Since they're purely aesthetic, I don't see too much of a problem with that for more of the hard-to-get ones like the telesci stuff.

The thing about the robes is you can hide syndie command armor under them and no one will know unless you take it off and they examine them. I've done that trick a couple times.
