In World of Aegis, medals are awarded to exceptional players with an outstanding record within the community. There are several medals to be awarded in game. They are as follows:
Contents |
Community Seal 
To be bestowed on an account once it has been active for a minimum period of 1 month. This is to encourage players to continue playing and is a prerequisite for all other medals. It increases in level by 1 each week and can be a requirement for entering certain threads eg. Medal nominations and Senate.
The CS may be removed or reset as punishment for misconduct / misbehavior at the discretion of eldar/administration. A guide to the policy for resetting or removal of CS follows.
Resetting to zero will occur if: - Account has been ghosted for inappropriate behavior in gamechat or the empire forum 3 - 5 times in the same month. - Account commits two MA offences within the same month.
Removal of Community Seal will occur if: - Account has been ghosted for inappropriate behaviour in gamechat or the empire forum more than 6 times in the same month, or has earned three consecutive resets over three months. - Account has three strikes of Multi Abuse - Account is placed on Ban Watch
A CS that has been removed for misconduct / misbehavior cannot be awarded again for a minimum of 3 months. As the CS is a prerequisite to all other medals, no other medals can be awarded to the account while it has no CS attached.
Good Conduct and Merit Medal 
Account must be at least 6 months old. The account must be nominated for this award and support shown from several other players (minimum 75% of kingdom or 10 others including the nominator). The nomination and support of the nomination is to be posted in the Empire Forum under Offtopic, Flame and Leisure / Medal Nominations thread. To achieve this award, the account must actively participate in either kingdom forums or game chat. His/her contribution must be recognized by kingdom mates or be recognized by the wider community due to participation in game chat. Participation in the empire forums is not mandatory but will add to the likelihood of the nomination being successful. In general the reason for awarding this medal is that he/she recognizably improves the gaming experience of kingdom mates or the wider Aegis community (through game chat participation) by displaying a positive attitude and making the game more fun for those interacted with.
The GC may be removed as punishment for misconduct / misbehavior at the discretion of eldar/administration. A guide to the policy for removal of GC follows.
Removal of Good Conduct medal may occur when: - Account has been ghosted for inappropriate behavior in gamechat or the empire forum more than 3 - 5 times in the same month; or has had CS reset three consecutive months. - Account has three strikes of Multi Abuse - Account is placed on Ban Watch

Again, all supporting emails must contain specific examples supporting the nomination. Typically the nominee is recognized by many as a skillful leader during conflict. This is not about individual prowess in battle, but about leadership, military strategy including the formation of strategic alliances, determination to win wars if not battles and gaining the respect of enemies as a formidable foe over a lengthy period of time.
The BMA may be removed as punishment for misconduct / misbehavior at the discretion of eldar/administration. The BMA may be removed if the Account is placed on Ban Watch
A BMA that has been removed for misconduct / misbehavior must be earned again in full. The account cannot be considered for a BMA until 12 months have elapsed from the ending of the punishment period applied.
