Disclaimer: I usually dont do forums, and I dislike whining, but seriously CCP wtf?
Today, june 17th, the distinguished blade has been given out to members of the caldari militia for conquering every gallente system. The supposed date for that was the 23rd and even though we would have liked for ccp to make sense in that matter by awarding the medal to pilots enrolled in militia at the date of capture and not just to every muppet joining up to the 22nd of june it seems that they just jumped the gun.
I am a member of the 22nd and even though we are supposed to be only good at stabbing, cloaking and running we did invest a lot of time and energy to make the conquer happen. And seeing as none of us currently got that medal, that i think we earned, I cannot help but feeling ****ed.
I sincerly hope for some clarification on that matter. Until then flame away

I kinda called this one, sorry guys, you all most definately deserved that medal, but I had a feeling because you left the militia that you would miss out. BUT!, maybe, just maybe, on the 23rd there will be more of a ceremony for corps that were more deserving of that medal.
prolly wont happen, but one can only hope.

My internet pixels! GONE! AAH!
Get a grip. It's worth nothing and anyone involved in FW knows how dedicated you lot were in having the Caldari side win. |

Seriously regardless of whether you think plexing is worth anything or not (as far as I am concerned, the amount of sheer boredom you guys sufferred through is amazing), there is a medal for it, and that medal should go to those who cared about, and more importantly, did the work for the system captures! |

That it is only pixels is really besides the point, since all in eve is right? I mean: yeah I have awesome killboard stats > Pixels I have a gazillion billioin isk wallter > Pixels ...
The thing thats a shame though is, that even though we do know what we did almost everyone wants some means of proving their claims to others and that is precisely what that Pixel thing could accomplish.
And furthermore: if you dont care about fw than jsut igonre this thread. I know what kind of reputition we have on theese forums, but believe it or not that is not all there is to us. |

Ye, I'm hoping ccp undocks Tibus Heth so he can bring us our medals personally.
Just when I thought ccp couldnt stuff up fw any more then it already is they proceed to exceed my expectations once again. Well done boys! keep it up. Glad to see ccp actually put some thought and effort into this. The isk farmer in motsu that accidently signed up to fw and doesnt know how to delist, doesnt have 1 fw related kill and has never seen a plex gets a medal from the state but the no1 corp for fw vp since January gets shafted. *sigh*

Edit: thank you chat, its good to see some support, then again you always gave us credit, but it just feels better. and you just proved my last point wihtout me having to do anyhting about it;)
Reputation? You mean Marcus and his stabs? I know the rest of you didn't stab and were quite willing to pew pew, but guess what? I bet that Marcus did a TON of plexes. I'd guess that he may have been the pilot who captured the most plexes in your corp, and if not then definitely in the top 5.
THAT'S RIGHT MARCUS: Even though you've blue-balled me on many an occasion warping out after I had you pointed, you had a goal, you achieved that goal, you've got my respect.
I'll even go further to say that I do think that plexes are largely a waste of time and are horribly skewed to the right after dt crowd. The perma-jamming caldari NPC's are a DIS-incentive for pvp. But christ, if there is a medal being given out for it (and I heard stories of some of your corp spending days running plexes in completely uncontested systems with no war targets about just to try and spawn them in contested systems. That's dedication!) then it should be given those who did the WORK to cap those systems.
The above is meant for those people that Brandon said "if you don't care about fw or plexing stay out of this thread" seriously, **if a plexing medal exists, it should be given to the SUCCESSFUL plexers.** If anyone wants to try and refute that they are just trolling. Whether or not you think that plexing or fw is worth anything doesn't make any change to my statement. |

I'm ****ed plain and simple...
I'm not sure if it was made public knowledge and I hope I don't get into trouble for saying it but we were trying to get back into FW for the 23rd so we could claim the medal.
It's something the 22nd feel although in theory is worthless we bloody well earned! Now I have to come home from a boring arse day of training to see I got screwed because someone at CCP doesn't know how to read a bloody calendar!
Yup you just saw it... normally I'm the guy that never says a bad word of CCP because I believe even through any screw ups they make they are doing their best... but to annouce something on the 23rd and then issues it on the 18th? moronic plain and simple.
But alas there is nothing I can do about it now, I'm a big boy now and will hold my head high pack my bags and go to 0.0 and try and have fun.

I can feel your pain, but there is a solution to your problem. Create a corporation medal, name it "Distinguishing Blade", make it look the same, give it the same description. And there you have it. People don't look that closely and probably won't notice the diffrence. It's not the best solution but better than nothing.

Yes, kruger and Logan Xerxes were part of the 22nd when the last system was taken so they should naturally get thoose.

The respect of our allies and enemies is worth more than any number of medals, but cmon, daddy wants his BLING!
I'm sure the 22nd aren't the only corp who got scre*ed on this.
@ CCP: Make sure you give it to the chaps who were in FW on the date of capture coz there are many pilots who not with the 22nd and other corps right now, but more than deserve the medals. Kruger and Logan to name 2. |

Edited by: Pesro Montales on 18/06/2009 20:03:22 I'm not to fussed if i get this or not, i was there at the fall yes, but my medal is the 22nd and i have enjoyed every moment of it and it won't get any better than that for me, but there are people out there that deserve this way more than me and i have no right to say they don't either, they deserve it and we deserve some respect at least, even some acknowledgment would be nice in fact. |

Chatgris, dude thanks for the laugh. I kind of needed it today. I also shutter to think about all the uncontested plexes we ran.

Me and Sillas ran a fleet that closed over 100 the day before the last system fell just to try and get them to spawn up north placid!
That was a long night! we had some nice fights with the pirates though :)
Also Ax man we all know you busted your balls to get this for us and we don't blame you in any way! I wanted to make you a cake to cheer you up but no one else liked that idea :(

Whoever said cake was a bad idea is a ****ing idiot.
BB, you get to write constructive ****ed off threads like this one every once in awhile, so don't excuse yourself too much. Unfamed mentioning Kruger was a nice touch also, thanks for that, he deserves it also. |

Epic Bloe... deserves a medal of its own =P
But seriously yes we left FW to go somewhere and yes its only pixels and all that jargin, but we were there where it counted for a long time, some 22ND memebers were more active than others, especially in the plex department but the fact still remains the medal should have gone out the day the last system fell, or the next day not some 3 weeks later and then to top it all a full 5 days before announced release date, Roll out the 22nd specific FW medal... or at least the one that we have earnt as a corp along with the caldari militia. |

Edited by: X Gallentius on 19/06/2009 06:58:06 I think this is absolutely hilarious. Those Caldari who would be ashamed of such a medal got one, and those who would be proud of this medal were shafted!
Except Damar, his 17 plexing alts, and the Pervs. Congrats Damar.
Seriously the medals should go to those who contributed the most to the cause: Damar, his alts, Pervs, 22nd, CAIN, Yuri Intaki, and of course the mastermind himself Cosmic Raider.

Maybe Tibus Heth thought that 22nd is not worth of medal because they left militia before area has not been secured totally.
