Congrats SPP! Austin was the metal racks and shelves to SJG, Operation Fetch was for Jean, what was Pelademo?

Should be spelled Pellademo.

New honor bar: If you have ever (even once) been to Origins and played in an SFU event run by ADB, AND you ALREADY have a spot on the wall of honor, you can ask us to add the "I made it to Origins at least once" honor bar to your wall/block.

Doesn't matter how many times you went, if you went at least once (and played in an ADB event) then you can have the bar. I am not going to keep track of how many little stars you have on yours.

You have to email me and ask for it. If you post it here, you'll never ever get one because you cannot read instructions!

If you already have an Origins staff honor bar you cannot have this one.

Staff: If you're on the staff for some game and don't have one of the "leadership" bars for that game, email me (do not post it here) and i'll add a staf bar to your block/page.

Leadership bars include things like department heads and Q&A.

Only one person is responsible for the accuracy of your record, and that is you. Don't be shy about emailing me if you didn't get something for your work.

Steve, I think I did not get a Captain's Log 47 award, for having a Call out Note published.

Don't worry about updating it any time soon, if I am due one; just add it on the next update cycle.

Thank you

YOu do not get CapLog ribbons for tactical papers. Those get a tactical paper point added to the button on your page.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, July 29, 2013 - 05:27 pm: Edit

We try to avoid giving two awards for the same thing. Sometimes it happens (command medals for projects plus the project campaign ribbon) but tactical papers have always been their own thing and pre-date ribbons.

For anyone else reading, you also don't get a CapLog ribbon for asking a question that showed up in one of the Q&A articles or for making a proposal that went into the Proposals Board. There may be another thing or two you don't get CapLog ribbons for.

Simone tells me that she has finished the July 2013 (CL#47) update for the WALL OF HONOR. Go check your page or sub-page and see if all is well and email me (do not post it here) if something needs taken care of (missing award, mis-spelled name, rearranging order, whatever).

Those of you with big blocks on the multi-people pages need to get another couple of "good" awards to get your own pages.

I am updating the Wall of Honor. It's a big project and I can only do 8 per day; I have done 16 so far. I started at the top of the CL48 medals list and did the gold and silver medals and started the bronze medals. It's going some time to do these; Figure 105 pages at 8 per day is two weeks anyway. Once I get into the multi-person pages it slows down as they're more complex and Jean has to check each one for alpha order before I can do the next one.

Remember that nobody is repsonsible for the accuracy of your medals page except you. I do my best, but if it's wrong, it's your own responsibility to detect it and send an email asking me to correct it.

If you'd like your ribbons in a different order you can ask and I'll do what the rules allow. You can't put your F&E diamond in front of your SFB Star. All the Stars go first but they can be in any order you want or in the random order they are.

When your page is updated, check it looking for mistakes and email me if you find one.
