I give out medals fairly regularly (well, "regularly" considering the limited supply). The trust medals I'll give out to players I feel have a positive impact on the gaming environment in terms of the "playing a board game with friends" atmosphere. I give them regardless of whether someone is playing a friend or an enemy. Of all the trust medals I've given, I've only regretted awarding one of them.

I've only ever been able to award one role-play medal, and I gave that to someone who wrote an exceptional series of RPs. I've never been supplied any fun medals to award, although I've been awarded one of them myself. So I presume they're fairly rare.

Depends on which you get, I guess. I think fun medals used to be what I had the most of, but I think I gave all the ones I could a long time ago...

I've gotten medals randomly at the beginning. I think people just accidentally pressed the medal button while scrolling down or something.

It was so hard to get medals until the 5th one. After that, they were quite easy to get...

It's been quite a long time since I've had the option to give out medals. A shame, since the number of characters you can play depends, in part, on the number of medals you have.

Really? Did not know that.

4. If you are a long time player (multiple years) and/or recognized by the community (medals), 1 more active character.

I have been playing Battlemaster for 4 months, and I have about 3 medals.

People generally give medals if you either roleplay something exceptionally well, or exceptionally funny if you aren't in a position of power like me.

In particular, my stupid commoner was given 2 when he tried to run as a consul for Sanguis Astroism, and then later tried to be declared 'The Star King'; hehehe.

Yea...

Getting a medal almost depends more with who you play than what you do yourself. RPing/Playing great in a realm where no one has medals won't earn you anything. Nor if they already gave all of their medals, nor if they forget they can even give medals.

I've received one, and I can give one currently, but I have also noticed something very odd: scanning the last 30 days, I can give some people trust medals, and others I can't. I am able to give a fun medal to anyone.

It's not a case of them having too many trust medals either, because the one person only has one, and can't receive, and yet I can give one to Merlin Silverfire, who has five.

I really don't understand how these medals work...although I do remember someone saying that a person can give more medals to people outside the realm than those inside...anyone care to comment?

You can give more to non-realm-mates than to realm-mates.

Great, thanks :)

I haven't seen it mentioned, and some people might not know yet, but the only way that you can get a medal is from people clicking on the medal next one of your messages. So if they never hear you, you will never get anything!

I can't remember the last time I gave someone a medal.
Time to go hand some out to people that deserve them...

I also didn't have any to give for some time now.

Maybe there is a bug and no one noticed?
