Silver Leitmarks
The time is now...

Well...I've received a rather lovely e-mail from Ben Williams at Mind Candy asking for my postal address as they want to send me a silver leitmark Very Happy

There are 100 coming out and I guess other people will also be receiving similar e-mails. Let us know if you get one Smile Will post photos as soon as it's in my sweaty mitts.

It's been pointed out by Sunlight at Perplexorum that the criteria for awrding the silvers seems to have changed from the original statement:

Ben wrote:

100 limited edition silver leitmarks have been awarded to players who
had the top 100 score on the leader board at the end of season 1.


whereas originally we had:

Guy wrote:

So, we now have 100 extremely-rare, extremely lovely silver leitmarks here at Mind Candy HQ. We'll be awarding them to the players who have gone the extra mile in the course of this strange and perplexing game - leaderboard stars, community heroes and other Very Important Players. We plan to award them at our celebratory party on Feburary 24th, and the rest will be dispatched to those who can't make it the previous day, so recipients should get them around the same time.
boldification mine.

Has anyone outside the top 100 received one? Can we confirm this?

I can confirm that I haven't received the email. But that's no surprise Razz

As I said over in Perplexorum, this feels like a quick and dirty way to get an obligation out of the way. They remembered that they need to throw out these silver leits, and they never bothered to pick the "community heroes" etc, so they just gave them to the top 100 leaderboardies.

Got mine. I agree that they should have put a little thought into who got them instead of just giving them to the top 100 on the leaderboard. I think maybe the Top 50-75 on the leaderboard and the remainder to those in the community who put forth a lot of time and effort to promote and enhance the game.

I was 96th when the season 1 leaderboard was frozen (and I have proof) and 13th on the leaderboard two days later! Unfortunatly I didn't get an e-mail. I really hoped that I would get one but no!

I feel that Mind Candy really couldn't be bothered to do anything about the silver leitmarks so just gave them out in the easiest way! Some people worked really hard but didn't have to money to get every single card but they spend their time (which is worth more than money) on creating websites and helping the communtity.

I am rather disappointed really Sad!

If anyone thinks they should have received an email but haven't done then you can always check your Season 1 rank via the WeLovePuzzles site. Just go to your profile and click on the Season 1 rank button.

If you were definitely within the Top 100 and haven't received an email then I would suggest getting in touch with Mind Candy - they might have just missed you off by accident.

Unfortunately (for people like me anyway!) that rank means nothing. I've solved all the season one cards that have been solved and my rank appears as 20, but I've not been awarded the leitmark. I asked why and got this reply:

Quote:
The points cut off was taken the day the cube was found - your points total at this date was 14620. The lowest points in the top 100 on this day was 15160. So unfortunately you did not have enough points on the cut off day to be included in the top 100.


Seems odd that they made the decision to cut off there, rather than the time they froze the leaderboard. Sob.

I got the email too. Me happy. But sad that there's only 100, because there are so many people who contributed to the game experience.
