Contest Winner Trophy Limited To One

8 years ago
Wasn't sure whether to set this in Bugs/Problems or Feature Wishing Well.

Currently, you can only receive one contest winner trophy. If you're that awesome to win multiple, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to tout a contest winner trophy for each contest you win.

e.g. Romulus's contest winner trophy used to say something about winning a sonnet contest from a few years ago. Now it mentions the two he more recently one but does not mention the sonnet contest victory. Though, I believe madglee gave him his personal trophy for that victory as well. I don't think that should exclude him from the actual contest trophy, since personal trophies are given on the owner's whims.

I actually never received a contest trophy for the sonnet contest. Madglee gave the contestants the choice between a contest trophy and his personal one as a reward, and we all voted for the personal one. I presume that the mods can add more text to trophy descriptions if someone with a contest trophy wins another trophy.

Huh, my bad then. I could have swore I saw you had one before. I must still be exhausted from the weekend.

Multiple contest winners trophies will actually be a kind of hard implementation in the back end. How important do you think it is?

Probably not all that important if it'd be easier to edit the text on the trophy they already have. You just list the contests and separate them with a semicolon.

e.g.

201x Sonnet Contest Winner ; 2016 Short Story Contest Winner ; 2016 Traditional Ballad Winner

That'd be kind of neat to see a long list on multi winners' trophy, especially if we keep getting good support for almost monthly contests.
