Title: Reward unit info
Post by: UKPowerMax on May 09, 2019, 06:14:49 PM
Reward units are going live again as of the reset and patch on the 12th of May!

How to get them:

To be eligible for a reward unit you must vote on at least one award category in the thread below, using the following format:

Fair play award: "Steam name"               
Teachers award: "Steam name" 
Most improved player: "Steam name"

Your vote must be in before the date of the reset on the 12th.

If you qualify through any of the points below you will get access to a reward unit depending on your choice of doctrine. There is no resupply on reward units and the starting pool is 1 so once it is dead you cannot use it again. You can however delete or migrate your company to have the unit again, although this will incur a loss in VPs as usual. If you are awarded more than one unit then you have to gift your extra unit access other community members of your choice, max one access per player or they will be reassigned at random beyond a stated cut-off time.

Community awards

The following points are awarded by the community, make sure to vote below in this thread!

The following points are awarded by achievement or chance (Stats taken at time of reset):

The friend voting is certainly disappointing. Unfortunately such rewards are likely to be removed due to this and replaced with ones chosen by the development team. Likewise self voting will be discounted next time explicitly if people are unable to self regulate. I understand it is a good laugh, but it is not positive for the community at large and undermines what this is trying to achieve by allowing direct community input.

Well those 3 categories are all subject to to debate, especially during the first month of playing. Without going to lengths I dont why see the so far voted persons didnt qualify.
On a side note should add automatic reward units for donators and dev team.

It is not about eligibility, it is about whether people are acting in good faith when voting. Some voting has been downright scummy, especially voting for yourself. That is acting in bad faith.

It is a video game guys. You do not need to min max everything.

I would just like to thank all the little people who made this happen: Shab, speedy, batgirl, parti, bear, and gork. By losing so much they proved to the world, and myself, that I have some skill with digital toy soldiers.

I applaud your efforts and accept this recognition on your behalf.
