Medals
Something to go on the breast-plate...?
How to gain a medal
If Militia Command (the Officers and divisional Corporals) ever feel a
Guardsman has earned the right to a medal, they will discuss it between themselves.
Thereafter, a command vote must be passed, if the guardsman in question does deserve a medal, and if they have completed what was required to obtain the medal, this will be remembered until the next parade and subsequently awarded to the recipient.
When
you have a medal, you show it in two ways. There isn't really
any physical medal, but rather you write it down in your character profile on your paperdoll and in your signature on the Militia forums.
Warning!
- If
you are caught writing down a medal in your profile which you do not
have, you will most probably be demoted one or even several ranks.
- Even if Command has decided you are worthy of a medal, you may not carry it until you are given one.
- You
may never point out, whine or alike, over ICQ or in game, that you feel
you deserve a medal unless you are prompted or that you have completed one or several of the
criteria for one. This is a decision only Command may take. If you
do this, you will lose the right to the medal.
- Medals
are not cumulative. If you, for example, gain the King's Silver Ankh or
Anvil, it replaces your Bronze one. This also means you do not receive more
than one of each medal.
- If
a guardsman is ever thrown out, or deserts, they are stripped of all
their medals.
What medals are there?
| Name and Criteria |
Medal |
| The King's Bronze/Silver/Gold Ankh
For devout service to the King and Yew in 6/12/18 years.
|
 |
| The King's Silver Pen
Recognition
for a serious, well made, useful and updated document or addition to
the Militia tome.
|
 |
| Wisdom Cross
For
a really good invention adding to the Militia's culture and enjoyment.
Merely coming up with the idea doesn't count. It must be something that
fits, and is in a roleplaying context. Nothing as trivial as "dungeon
crawls" (a good example would have been those who invented the roadblock,
the taxation and escorts, the Last Man Standing and the Orders section)
Also, you must have brought it to life by promoting the idea, and
talking it over with others.

| The Iron Heart
An
addition to The King's Ankh, rather than a medal of it's own. It is a
small iron heart, that you with a delicate silver chain strap around
your Ankh. It is a sign of eternal devotion to the Militia, and means
that you will serve until the day you die. (OOC meaning: "I stay in the Militia, as long as I play UO, and I will always stay true to its spirit.")
This
is the only medal you may actually ask for, but you won't be given it
unless the Command really does believe you will hold the oath, and you
have shown strong devotion for the Militia cause and spirit. (taken in
a vote.)

| The British Crest
In
the event of great heroic and epic deeds, involving a lot of guardsmen
(the fame of one single guardsman isn't enough - he has to have lead
many in this glorious deed, and somehow stood out). It has to be
something legendary, that is spoken of and known about through ages to
come, and publicly well known far away even from Yew. The ceremony must
take place within the walls of the Lord British's castle.

| The Service Cross
The
Service Cross is a great honour awarded to guardsmen who, through
service to the Militia have earned many Ribbons. Any Guardsman who
receives a minimum of 3 Ribbons may be awarded the Service Cross medal
in recognition of their contribution to the Guardsman Militia.
