We'll be announcing them in larger chunks, yes. The biggest thing is that I've been working to clear a few long-standing projects from my list before focusing on releasing the next batch (old Annual Reports, some archival things, revising and rewriting the Membership Manuals). Since there's a...
As an FYI - the Online Events team doesn't take nominations for their Outstanding Participants awards. They pick amongst themselves. So no need to deluge Liiane, the merits team, or myself with emails about it. Thanks! ^^
Jeffan - participating in any one piece of the Tournament counts. I'll have to discuss your specific example with Viv, Eleyan, and Leora, but my initial thought is that you are a moderator, which is the position, so if you're a moderator of multiple forums, it's still just being a moderator...
Yeah, because of it's uniqueness, Summer Euro 2010 will count towards Globetrotter and Events Attendance merits.
Thanks for being patient with us as we work out the fine details, everyone!
Neisa - yeah, if you remember people who attended, just send a list, and the minions will contact those people to verify. No biggie!
Taika - yeah, those are all official.
Loira - I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean your post the way it sounded. I read Mother's...
In order for it to be a Local Event that counts for the Local Events Merit, it must be planned in the Local Events forum. Whoever was the main organizer is the person who would get credit, unless there truly wasn't one, then no one gets credit. So Dwyn, if someone organized it, it doesn't matter...
If you had a presence at the Tower's gatherings at D*Con and JCon, then yes, those count as well. You don't have to have stayed in the Tower block, you just need to have had a presence there.
Aldus - it depends on what you mean by voluntary. Once we start awarding them based upon what we track...
Alyria - in this initial setting up, yes. You'd need to let us know which ones you qualify for, and which ones you've got progress on. As things progress, we'll track it more and more, and we'll award them as you earn them. That's our hope, at least.
Ali - only if you served full terms for...
Xylina - it's serve on three different committees. So if you serve on two committees at one event and one at a second event, that counts as three different committees.
For everyone reading, please note that "serve" is the important part there. If you signed up for a committee but did nothing...
Aloren - we did look at that, and that's an idea we're going to revisit in the future. We just wanted to see how the Merits would function first before we started adding in any other steps like that.
Onis - we have four different levels of positions: staff, administrator, Executive, and...
If you read the Membership Manual on it, that question is answered. :P
Whoever is bonding an extra person must qualify. So if both parties are adding an extra bond, both must qualify. If only one is bonding an extra person, then only that person must qualify.
Hey everyone! The long awaited merit badges are here. :D I'm very excited that we've finally completed this, though I want to make it clear that this is a work-in-progress, just as most other new programs, so don't be surprised if something changes. :P Also, this is very long. I tried to be as...
