Concise description:
    A few medal ideas, didn't want to make several threads for each one so compiled here.
  • 1. Medal Given for beating X opponents on 10 maps
  • 2. Eliminating X Unique Opponents
  • 3. Beat X Unique Opponents in 10+ Player Games


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
    1. Reverse Cross Map, would be a twist to getting a group of five friends and creating tons of random games for easy platinum
    2. To get something out of an escalating game when you are about to win after eliminating many other people and your opponent three card cashes. People going for this might unstalemate a No Spoils game.
    3. Instead of being good at 1v1's or getting lucky at going first in them every time, this will promote real multiplayer strategy, and the first medal that requires that.

you'll need to start a thread for each suggestion otherwise you'll get confused about which idea you're being told is a bad idea and why.

The third medal is reasonable, although against site policy. The first two don`t offer any real magic to me.
1.Which 10 maps would be used for medal 1? Or is it that you have to beat the same players on as many maps as possible? How is this beneficial to the site? Are we supposed to support cloistered groups of individuals?
2. Unlikely to have the benefit you propose.
3. Already covered by the standard medal.

1. You can have any map, but each has to have X+ number of defeats to count. And it will remain 10 throughout the tiers, just increase in win counts.
2. Maybe just stick it to terminator games then? That's where the original thought came from.
3. Not really covered... Again, I could get standard through a ton of 1v1 games. I could be one of those people who suicide everything possible on the first turn and have good dice to get the win, but that strategy would almost never work in ten+ player... And why would this be against site policy?

our policy is that games which vary in numbers of players are covered by the standard medal.
