Awards

For whoever noticed the extra amount of medals in the achievements page.
Some of them already work, most of them should be working within the next day or two max.
So system is as follows...

You have Medals, Awards and Orders of ... .
Medals and Orders are given out once per month. People compete against each other for these. Most of these work already.
Exceptions:
Order of support: will be given out like awards, see below
Order of honor: given out on special occasions. It's a subjective achievement. Dont bother searching for criteria
Order of popularity: simple popularity contest, people give other people votes, whoever has the most, wins this medal. (no risk of multi abuse)
Order of alliance heroes: top ranked alliance(s), for now will only make it rank 1 alliance, the leader can say who gets what medal (gold, silver, bronze, iron, iron)

Awards are given out anytime, but checked only once per day/week, depending on the award
Criteria are either absolute values or relative values or both, will add display of requirement for next level of each award on the achievement page in the appropriate tooltip.

Special exception:
Supreme Medal/Award: Once you get 10 medals/orders or awards of one level or above you get the equivalent level in the supreme medal/award. (you have 8 awards of iron level and 2 awards of bronze level, so you get supreme award iron level)

ok.

cool cool

give me medal now! xP
nah.. just kidding .. but would be cool if you could explain ..
did you added a vote system of users, cause i didn't saw it anywhere?

There will be an input option where you can choose who should get a popularity medal, and the person who gathers the most votes gets gold, the one who has second most votes gets silver and so on.

Basically if you get this medal it means that you are a player who people like.

The system will prevent any possibility of people voting themselves through multi accounts. (and those who will attempt to do so will be punished harshly anyway).

who says that admin account doesn't already have best medal for each achievement?

awards are released, the orders will take a bit longer.

supreme award and supreme medal give extra personal bonus points.
2 points for iron level. 1 point each for bronze, silver and gold

For the popularity thing, is that done once a month; or what? Just wondering.
