What would you guys say wins a medal nowadays?
I have never won an LD medal, but if I did, ohhhhh boy, if I did… If I won an LD Medal I would be king of the world, that wouldn’t just mean this game thing is a hobby, nah man, I would be a somebody. It would definitely drive me for the next LD, and just in life in general.  (I totally apologize if I am kissing some major butt here. It would just mean a lot to me.)

Speaking in terms of the coolness category:

(About;)

-How many Gold Medals are given?
-How many Silver Medals are given?
-And last, how many Bronze are given?

And as a general estimate;
How many games would have to rate to qualify for a Gold, Silver, and Bronze? (Rough numbers are fine hah.)

Thanks again guys!

I don’t think there’s a limited number of medals for coolness. It only depends on how many games you’ve rated. Not so long ago it was something like 25% of the games => Bronze, 50%=> Silver 100%=>Gold, but it changed when LD started to have more than 1000 entries.

I don’t know the exact numbers, but I can tell you you’ll get a medal for sure if you rate more than 100 games :)

I think I got a gold coolness medal a few LDs ago for rating 100 games.
