getting our medals back
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2020 3:44 pm
Hey gang.
I know we are all a bunch of grown ups, people that really make very little about winning (or not) a fictitious little medal. It really means very little, and we understand that it is a fun thing but something that brings very little to the meaning of our lives.
In short, those little shiny medals are virtually useless, and they hold as much importance to us as the menial things in our world.
Things like... breathing. Eating. Sleeping.
Who am I kidding? Most people went to TAT1.0 solely for the SP's and winning one of those things was crucial for our mental well being.
So. I can award medals again. And I will do that on an honor basis. By that I mean, just tell me what you won, and I will trust you. Now, do not go "I won a calendar slam in 2009", thinking I was not in TAT1.0 then (I was). That will be suspect. But if you want your medals back, just do the following:
1. QUICK replay to this post. NO smilies.
2. Use this convention: AO = Aussie, RG = Roland Garros, W = You know, USO = you also know, YCWJ = Wooden Spoon. And then, just list how many you have. Put them in the order of the slams (how they get played every year, and DO NOT GO FUNNY AND USE THE 2020 ORDER). For example, 1 W + 1RG + 2USO + 1YCWJ =
RG/W/USO/USO/YCWJ
Put YCWJ last.
Post no more in your reply. Just for starters. We will later on see if we get some other medals back.
The system WILL NOT put 2 medals of the USO if you won twice. It will display ONE medal which, when hovered over, will say how many times you have won.
For future medals, we will be able to assign them per year.
See my example below
