Hello, all!
I see that the "Assault on Caldari Prime Ribbon" and "Defense of Caldari Prime Ribbon" have become items.
Might I suggest that any accolades to be awarded to pilots who participated in this event (or for whatever qualifications deemed relevant) be issued as medals which players can display on their profiles as decorations?
Decorations are more permanent, and I think more profound and rewarding. That and anyone can auto-link an item into a chat and proclaim "I was there! Look what I got!" without there being any way to show proof of participation. Plus, as an item, it can be lost, or bought (i.e., reminds me of a scenario begging for "stolen valor"), which would degrade its value.
However, if the award for participation (sic) is a medal, as a decoration, granted by the fleet commanders of the Federation and/or Caldari Navies (names escape me), the act is more permanent and motivating-there's no way to fake participation, and I would say such recognition through this act would motivate people to participate in future live events.
To help it remain unique, the medal could use graphics and designs which no standard player corporation can access (perhaps a ribbon extending down to a circle depicting the planet itself...I'm thinking of some old medals from the old 1995 X-Wing simulator by Lucasarts)
---
Might I also suggest that future live event rewards be bestowed as medal decorations, as motivating player to participate and for players to show off to colleagues.

Mmm, perhaps. But a medal unique to each live event might be interesting.
Also, some people were talking to me about "just how might this be done."
My response would be: 1. Check the killmails on the capital ships (those who shot Caldari get the Assault Medal, those who shot Gallente get the defense medal; the logs would show who shot who as well) 2. Check with Live Events personnel to see who participated (so we don't forget about our logistical support that kept alot of us alive; lots of us have screenshots with names, and fleet logs would show who participated as well) 3. Check Faction Warfare (Gallente, Caldari, easy enough)
I know it's lofty and might take some time, but, hell, so does setting up live events. :P
I was thinking that if CCP could issue medals regardless of who was in what corps, that might be simplistic. Or those who participated could be invited into a temporary corporation such as "awards ceremony" (sic).
Hell, the next live event could BE an awards ceremony, like in New Caldari or Algogille.

If you auto-link "Assault on Caldari Prime Ribbon" and "Defense of Caldari Prime Ribbon" in any text format, you will see it designate an item.

Ah, well, yes, I haven't obtained or received one, and we're not sure of anyone who has as of yet.
Live Events Channel and FCORD discovered the existence of these items, so I got an idea in my head about them, hence this topic. :P Recommendations: -bring back the Jukebox! -enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters) -add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot) -less focus on graphics, more on mechanics |

As someone who flew logi without the seemingly requisite warrior Drone for getting on kms, I don't think there will be much evidence i was there, other then the logs and a few screenshots.
I would like a medal for this but since none of the other live events gave medals i dont know why this would be that much different.
Doesn't mean they can't award a medal for this event.
There WAS a question of how we'd recognize logistical pilots in FCORD Live Events chat; my solution would be exactly as you mentioned-check the logs.
That and sometimes we get some developers who pop into Live Events; they can always check the logs or talk to the fleet commanders-there's a list of logistical pilots. A few clicks of a mouse and those pilots are recognized. In fact, I think CCP Falcon popped into Live Events just yesterday when the New Caldari demonstration was in progress.

I just spoke with CCP Falcon in FCORD "Live Events" chat. He tells me he and the staff are examining player feedback of how to handle awarding the "ribbons" in question to people.
I wanted to say thanks to CCP for taking player concerns into consideration. :)
One discussion I recently had with some colleagues focused on how to award medals en masse to people, if the idea of medals were to be pursued.
Aside from the other ideas I listed here, I was thinking that if medals from CCP were truly confined to being awarded based on corps enlistment (i.e., can only award medals to people in same corps), CCP could theoretically invite recipients into special corps, such as the Federation Navy or Caldari Navy themselves if possible, or even Faction Warfare, and award them that way.
I'm not terribly sure of what kind of powers CCP truly has in terms of game mechanics, but, by default, I'd say anything is possible.

Thanks, Falcon! Glad CCP is on top of this. :)
Hey, don't worry. In today's militaries, it can take months to get awards squared away, given how many people potentially qualify.

CCP Falcon tells me (in Live Events channel) that the medal progress is being delayed.
Given that this brief announcement was right after we got hit with that DDOS attack, I don't mind the wait. Better we have intact servers, yeah?
Again, in real-life formal militaries, it can take months or even years for medals to be awarded. Patience is a virtue.

I had a conversation with CCP Falcon on 20-SEP-13; they haven't forgotten!
Without quoting him line-by-line (not sure if I'm allowed to do that anyway), Falcon says they should be coming in Odyssey 1.2 or wintertime, depending. They WILL BE PROFILE MEDALS, and the in-game "ribbons" will be removed. As planned, we will get a decoration that will appear on our character sheets with "show-info" data.
Excellent to hear, Falcon. With Rubicon on the horizon, I know you guys will be busy.
We appreciate being kept in the loop! Good luck!

Hello, all, and CCP Falcon.
I know you mentioned in our correspondence that our Caldari Prime medals were coming with "1.2 or winter, depending on where they can be slotted in."
Just wondering if the team is still moving forward on this.
Although distribution on the battle's 1-year anniversary might be fitting. :P Recommendations: -bring back the Jukebox! -enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters) -add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot) -less focus on graphics, more on mechanics |

I sent CCP Falcon a quick mentioning of our medals moments ago.
I imagined CCP is pretty busy with everything that's being developed, but if it helps, I am planning a gathering in Luminaire for March 22. See in-game gatherings forum for more info (since I don't think it can be classified as a Live Event).

The Battle of Caldari Prime anniversary kicked ass! Thank you New Eden Radio for backing us up, to everyone who contributed, and to all our prize winners!
Now, let's see if we can't get Falcon or Logibro to hang out in the Live Events chat channel on a more regular basis!
As for the medals, we can be patient, given that CCP is giving us alot of new cool stuff. :P

The Assault and Defense of Caldari Prime ribbon items are still link-able in-game, if anyone is wondering...though I'm glad CCP chose to go the profile medal route...

The meaning isn't lost; far from it in fact.
Many events in the aftermath of the Battle of Caldari Prime have all been traced back to the battle itself.
In particular, the most recent mass manhunt for the Provists, disgraced for their horrendous loss over Luminaire VII on that fateful day.
And I myself am preparing a project related to these circumstances.

Thank you, CCP Falcon, and everyone who helped work on this project! It may be small in the grand scheme of things compared to player-made jumpgates or new ships and an industry overhaul, but you can sure as hell bet that the Live Events community and everyone who was affected by that battle, its aftermath, and the events spiraling from it appreciate your efforts!
Especially seeing as how these were added on top of emergency server maintenance last night. :P

Which is perfect.
The text description isn't complete, and the order is slightly incorrect, but for a start, we got what we were pushing for.
I'm happy that CCP took the time to initiate this step. :)
