    Question Strange awards

    As I was reviewing the awards, I've noticed some strange ones.

    What do the following awards mean:?!

    Pi
    Five
    One
    C
    l4
    Editor
    Screenshot

    I'm confused
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Pi - old award for showing a good understanding of gamemechanics.
    Five - very old award from STW days, where you could win 500 competitive games.
    One -idem 1,000 games.
    C - should be a working title for a new badge.
    l4 - idem
    Editor - this was the map badge. In the STW days this was not really the only thing you could edit, but it was the major edit. Now it's a badge for any modding effort, so we changed.
    Screenshot - we had a contest last year, best screenshot of STW/MTW/VI.

    I've got a little 8 and a little 1 under my avatar. Is that a strange award or what?

    Well it would be great if this year had an other 'editor' contest, by it's old mean. I would definitely give it a try. There are quite some people in the stw forums, but I don't know how much of them would want to try it too...

    any response please. I think it might be a good idea. maybe not as much intrest as with the writing contest but there should be some guys who'd try.

    BP - it's now a 9 and a 2 - you must have been really busy while I was gone - and only for two weeks at that!

    This would be just about spam, but I'm also going to graciously thank whoever gave me my strange reward thingy for winning the writing contest. Thanks, whoever. Tosa, did you do it, or can moderators distribute these things?

    I feel all glowy inside when I see that little block.

    I have a suggestion: could you add explanatory links to the awards that show up below people'savatar/postcount? I think that it would add meaning to the awards if you could click on them and find out what they are for.

    Nah, you got the A-team: barocca designed the award and TosaInu awarded it.

    If you hover your mouse over the badge you get a bit of info about the award, albeit more for some than others.

    There was no mousover in the old hack, a pity. As it could have been used to explain why people got a HOF badge. For example: org members chose this person to be the funniest member in 2002.
