I agree that medals for scores is a nonstarter but it's not necessary to insult the OP.

If you're bored, try one of these:
Exodus all your cities to TBL.
Start a war with a much larger alliance.
Start a training alliance.

To be honest, I like that the players run the achievement system in Illyriad, and not the devs. I think it adds a lot more weight to getting medals from other people.

Why not all of them at once if you're REALLY bored?

Actually - it's worse than I previously thought.  Think about it, he's 19th in trade, the ranking which is well known as the easiest to manipulate.

To get to the Top 20 in trade you pretty much have to do what everyone else is doing i.e. move stuff around between alts and friends, i.e. Cheat. So our boy Arctic here has come onto the forum to publicly ask for a medal for cheating.

The worst of it is that he's not even top 10 or top 3 so he's really looking for a medal for being a mediocre cheater.

That said - I think someone should be able to oblige him - can someone make him that medal so he can proudly display it in GC?

I've known Arctic for a long while now and he doesn't have an alt and he is the absolute last person I would ever believe to be cheating or manipulating the system.  He actually cares about the game and is looking for ways to improve it and make it more enjoyable.   But this is the type of post we should expect from you.

Everyone who says this is a bad idea lets hear your idea.

I agree with KP on this one.  Even if arctic isn't a cheater, there are certainly those who are cheaters, and implementing something like this will only encourage them to cheat even more.

If you want to see someone with a 100B trade score overnight, this is the way to to encourage it.

I've seen arctic sell stuff though. I believe he is a legit trader.

+1 abstract

Would like to refere KP to sentence one, and want to point out, that some formerly big players already tried number 2 of abstract's suggestions (and I won't name them here...  Tongue). Seems to add much excitement to the game  Clap

And yes, trade scores are too easily manipulated. I really take it, that players  genuinly  trading stuff all the time can enter the rankings, but exactly those honest ones would be badly shot down as soon as pure medal hunters (NOT arctic, as he seems to be trader first, medal hunter second) would cheat like hell as soon as they get rewards for it.
