Ideas for new medals: Party President and Party Builder
stancel
Why is there a medal for being elected to Congress and President, but not one for Party President? This does not make sense to me. I think people who are elected Party President deserve a medal on their profile just as much as those elected to Congress or President. So when people are elected Party President they should receive a Party President medal. The reward should be 5 gold. Then Party Presidents can get the recognition they deserve, as Party President is not a meta-game position, like some others. Personally I was a Party President myself and was elected 4 times (that was when I was a citizen of Austria). So I know what it's like to be a Party President. There are many Party Presidents who take their job seriously and put work into their position and building their party.
Party Builder
This is an idea I had. They would add a new feature to profiles where you can click a button to invite the person to your party. It would show in their alerts list, the notification would say something "[Insert name here] has invited you to join [Insert party name here]. Here is an official statement from the party on its principles. [Link to official message]. The official message is set by the Party President, and may be an external link containing the party's ideas and principles. Every invite would be unique to the person who sent it. And for every 10 successful invites, 10 people who join the party, that person would get the Party Builder medal and 5 gold. I do not think that 5 gold is too much as a lot of people will probably ignore the invite so it would be much harder than you think to invite 10 people. I think it would provide some real motivation for people to help with recruitment for their party.

Good idea... Not feasible.
Some flaws:
People could create a new party every week and elect themselves PP and other variations.
Party Builder:
You and your buddies could jump from party to party giving each other medals daily.
Sorry, great idea, but to easy to exploit.
n00b. "every week" because people would spend 160 gold to get 4 medals and 20 gold..
Don't be daft, you know what I meant.
1) Create a new party every week? It costs 40 gold to create a party. They would lose gold, not get more. PP elections happen monthly. So it would only be possible for them to win the medal once every month.
2) They could set a time limit on invitations. Something like, if this person has already been sent an invite and joined a party, then if they leave the party, they can't be sent another one for a week.
You're giving Plato far more credit than he deserves. Are you playing the same game I am? You're asking to not only create new medals/ rewards, but to actually put a multitude of parameters on how or when you win or earn those medals or gold.
If it's not straight forward, i.e. Do this- Get this, it's not going to happen.
About PP medal..
8x5=40
It would take that person 8 months to pay the party,but after that,he will have 5 gold every month!! Its not too much,but a lot of ppl would have their parties... If you put 1 gold instead of 5,I think it is very nice idea...
The Congress Medal is certainly NOT worth 5G any more, since it now has NOTHING at all to do with anything the individual winning congress member does to get him/herself elected.
How about just awarding people like Dogpyle 5G per day just for being so awesome?
My name is Dogpyle, and I approve this message.
