How do you get you're own trophy? This might sound like wishful thinking, but tell me anyway.

Im pretty sure that you have to get a TON of points.

i think the semi unspoken rule was 1000 points... not sure anymore though.

I don't know. Alex didn't say, but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere between (inclusive) 1000-2000.

Youll never get one... I just made sure of that.  pASSword giver-away-er

Considering I just got 270 points in a week, It might happen this year...

Member trophy aquisition

That was from rating games, though. Within a month I went from about 200 to about 560. After you've rated the games though, you have to make storygames in order to get points.

ahhh... That explains JJJ's 33 games! and you're right, ive rated about 60% of the games... maybe i should stop duelling cysid all the time... MAG point's value really skyrockets when you've got no way of getting them...

pfft i got 800 in 1 week when i found out solo was ahead of me and i was only 4th in pts.

Yeah...points prolly have nothing to do with Trophies. Well, not as bluntly as "I achieved however many points needed for the trophy! I have-a my own trophy!" No. I think it's a matter of recommendation, contributions, coolity, and worthiness. And maybe points. But that's gonna be a bumby road, especially if people with Trophies need to recommend you.

Although I'm much happier to dole out trophies on points rather then moderation.

Member trophy aquisition

Yeah, but you'd have to be dedicated to get to the points in the first place. For example, Madglee got like 700 points or something for his most recent story. Unless you got there in the first place, there is hardly a worry. Of course though, the creators would give the benefit manually, it wouldn't be automatic.

Very true.

Really trophys are at the discretion of the admin.  Each one of us has our OWN set of criteria, though you won't see alexp laying his down anywhere.  What it takes is a dedication to the website, great story games, participation in some contests, and (honestly) we have to KNOW who you are.  so stand out, say hi, offer to help out with something, and get on our good side.  As for points, they're important (more points = more activity) but not the most important thing to get a trophy. 

Except for mine :)

Does that help?

honestly, you go based on points, march?

Member trophy aquisition

No, I don't completely base mine on points - that's more of a preview to my "how to get March's trophy" discussion in my interview.  All you've really got to do to get mine is impress me (or actually MEET the criteria I put in the interview) -  particularly with an original, great game.  for me, it's the story that's got to be great, not the advanced features.

On second read, it looks like the questions is how do you get a trophy that you can give out to other people.  that's an alexp question - really have to put time in on the site and offer something to the community that nobody else does.

I want your trophy with a passion.

Yes.. I said a passion.

Passionantly.

read my interview in the newsletter.

Hey, I read the article on trophies.  If I stick around and make 1000 points is there a small chance I can have one?

Member trophy aquisition

Not without making some games (awesome games) first. 

march

Member trophy aquisition

Oh for sure

I agree completely!

Member trophy aquisition

so, does anyone have your trophy yet march? if so, who?

Alexp, although I think I recall hearing somewhere he awarded it to himself.

Member trophy aquisition

March has his own trophy, too.

Member trophy aquisition

Also, according to the trophy chart that pops up when you click on a trophy- members "who have reached a high enough point total" are given the ability to award trophies to other members.

Member trophy aquisition

That's what I said, I think I heard somewhere Alex awarded March's trophy to himself.

It's point totals, easily, but its not automatic obviously, as they have to actually make the trophy.

Member trophy aquisition

I meant the aquistion of your OWN trophy, not marches. I think you need 1000-1700 points, but I'm not quite sure...

Member trophy aquisition

18 years ago
It'd be about 1000 points, I'd say. Only logical, although I expect that that will rise if the amount of members rise.

Member trophy aquisition

I only awarded the trophy to myself.  But I give guidelines in the interview in the zine on how to get it.  JJJ you're almost there!

well, you are definately the leading member on the site. however, look at some interesting findings:

you have

47 bug findings. 3 from 50.

8 story games featured. 2 from 10.

98.8% stories played. 2.2% from 100%.

"JJJ you're almost there!"

just interesting. i, of course, can not read march's mind. but just interesting.

He's also the closest to receiving the title of "Grandmaster of the Written Word" which I believe is March's criteria. Although Nate as some pretty good suggestions.
