Medals
All Executives desire shiny bits of metal to commemorate victory, even if that victory meant losing 100% of their squad but still eking out a narrow victory on points. Who wouldn’t?
Monday Mayhem Medals
The major source of medals is Monday Mayhem, our (somewhat) weekly tournament. If the tournament is marked as a “medal round” (most ranked MM rounds are also medal rounds), the winner of each table gets a medal. So, if Vynce, Alex, and Wolff are playing a Monday Mayhem medal-round map, the winner will get a medal.
The type of medal is based on the average standings rank of the players involved. If the average rank of the table at the end of the game is above 20, they get a gold medal. If the average rank is above 10, you get a silver, and all others get a bronze medal.
So, if Vynce is level 10, Alex is level 25, and Wolff is level 18, the average rank is ~18.3, so the winner will get a silver medal.
(Note that the medal is calculated when the last move is made, so a round can change in value if another ranked map affects players’ ranks during the medal round.)
You can only get one of each type of medal per map. So, if Alex wins a second gold on Caves, he gets nothing except the knowledge his opponent did not get the gold. Someone can have bronze, silver, and gold medals on the same map, however.
Special Medals
There are some special medals to get, too:
- Vulture: If you have ever reached rank 30, you get the coveted Vulture.
- Golden Compass (not implemented): You get a Golden Compass for submitting a fun map.

There should be a medal for finishing all the Robo-challenges.
