:salute:It is my pleasure to award Guus, (Aardvark) the medal for attending Doncaster.:medal:
Bligh.
Saw him 2017 in Donni, too? :question:
Anyways: Congratulations, Guus! :salute:
You may notice that there is of yet no medal for two years Sven, and he did not claim one last year, so I caught up with him for this year.
The year two medals are done, but I am just trying to find out how to get them onto the page, as this has previously been done for me.
Rob.
Oh! Can I design medals for LinCon and GothCon? :medal: :medal: :medal: :medal: :medal:
I would have 3 for LinCon and 2 for GothCon. I think all of them have been posted here.
First move is to contact The Royal Hajj Jonas,and see what his criteria for Con medals are.
Rob.
This is the answer from him:
I have a memory of having had this kind of discussion before. LinCon having 600 to 1200 visitors and GothCon having 1000 to 1600 each year, and having been held for 42 years.Quote:
I'm going to direct you to Bligh (Rob) for this question. He is more in tune with the Euro Cons situation.
Right Jonas.
If the boss gives me carte blanche I say design a special Minor con medal for the Baltic countries alone. Then Sue will get it onto the server for you.
Rob.
There is no denominator for Baltic countries, and GothCon is held at a coastal town not connected to the Baltic sea, but to the Atlantic ocean.
Instead I made a suggestion for a medal for Sweden.

If it was held in a different country another year, perhaps you could change the centre.
Well... LinCon is held in Linköping and GothCon in Gothenburg. They're kind of fixed in that way. I don't expect Doncaster would be held in another city or country?
Also they've been going for 34 and 42 years with one year interruption for LinCon. They're pretty stable.
If you can tell me approximately how many Anchorage members attend these Cons each year to put on a game Jonas, I will see if the numbers justify a medal. That is why I suggested including all the Baltic States rather than doing one for just Sweden.
Rob.
Well... I don't think the forum has that many members in Sweden or the rest of the Baltic. There isn't really any exchange over the Baltic sea as there's a big language and cultural barrier. I haven't heard of a Russian, Pole or someone from Netherlands ever on a Swedish gaming convention not to mention playing SoG so it's not really a way of increasing the numbers. There's been several Norweegians, Brits and a few Danes and a Germans though. I even know of two Americans. So, more Americans than general Baltic states outside of the Nordic countries.
I know of two forum members who have visited the cons but only one that has played in my games.
Thank you for being so candid in you appraisal of the situation Jonas.
I am happy for you to support a Minor Con Medal for Sweden, but I would not consider it justified a Major Con Medal with so few Anchorage participants at your show.
You may wish to challenge this decision, and I would be more than happy to be overruled in this respect by Keith if you put your case to him directly.
If you are happy with my resolution, please get in touch with Susan (Ling) direct, and ask if she will put your medal onto the server for you.
Rob.
Well... I don't want to have anything not earned.
I don't know what the difference is between minor and major con medal-wise. I would have guessed that a named medal would be a major con, as "Doncaster". I never expected there to be a medal for each LinCon and GothCon. So I guess I expected it to be a "minor con in Sweden" medal...
To be honest I'm not that sure what I expected, but thought it might be fun to design a medal based on the Swedish Order of the Sword, with the swords removed.
Perhaps that there could be those bronze, silver and gold stars on them for multiple events as I've held five events (four bigger battles and several drop in games with a couple of frigates) with probably about 50-60 players in all. I'm not sure how that works, Or if the medals were needed in bronze, silver and gold...
A Minor Con for Sweeden seems in order Jonas. Please feel free to go ahead with it. The actual medal design looks superb bye the way.
Rob.
Thank you, Rob!
