How about different levels for the valour award? First time you get the basic one, then each time you demonstrate valour you get extra stripes or something?

This is almost as fun as the current war, and by that I mean:

-Usualy participates will only receive one ribbon for a campaign.
-The campaign ribbon is made up of the B1 as background + symbol.
-The symbol will identify what he did in the campaign.
-The ribbon can have more than one symbol on it, ie. If its composed by B1+B3+B5.2, that would indicate that the member was a good organizer and captured many enemy islands in that Campaign.
-However Special Awards are difirent ribbons, that will have the basic design as background (B1), but will have other emblems/symbols. So you may be lucky and get that as an extra ribbon for the campaing
-Superscripted numbers mean that the specific award will accumulate to another alliance award marked with the same number

The above two post show the structure that determine how people get decorations, and for what reason.

Bear in mind that some names are there just to understand what is ment by them. Later on we can give specific names like DRAGONSLAYER or THE CROSS OF VALETHOR, instead of Medium, large, Master, etc...

[Ringthane]

I knew I had forgotten something. Someone, make a Cross of Valethor!!! ;D

[Arminius]

Brilliant stuff. But I think "Valethor Cross" sounds better that "Cross of Valethor"...

[Ringthane]

Yes, yes, that was it, go on, go on! So we can start giving them to people!

[Arminius]

What else do we need to dish them out? Just names?

[Ringthane]

We need to organize things, so that people receive them, at least in this first batch, simultaneously, without any confusion. And the Valethor Cross, in fact. I tried to do one just a few minutes ago but I lack the ideas...

[Shendemiar]

I think it would be a good idea to keep campaign decorations to minimum possible, ie, no Participation ribbon at all.

Ranks - I tollay agree

Status - I prefer Islands over Score, score can be abandoned imho. Perhaps one for the Fleetsize in this category.

Bombardment - I see huge hassle granting and changing these. I think these should be dropped or draticly simplified (with huge demands for level gains) and/or just taken into consideration in the campaign decorations category.

Special Awards - Same as above.
