You make a good point about that. I remember talking about this sometime with you and I agree...why do we have the same trophies all the time?
New Trophies?
I'm sure this has been started elsewhere but I figure I might as well put it out there. I would love to see some more trophies put up. I know you can make custom ones, but ones I give away after regular games are what I am talking about. Maybe some way a forum topic could be opened up just to give ideas for new trophies (or if there is one let me know), because it's really easy to give away the same trophies over and over and over and I hate sending the same trophies to a person over and over (except good game or good sportsmanship). I know not too long ago about 5 more were added, how about some more :)
Yes, working on it .. and ideas are always welcome :)
baseballfan was gathering ideas here - help-make-chesscom-even-better - when he was on the staff. Quite a number have been implemented, though there are still substantial suggestions that have not been taken up. This does seem to be a sensible central place to collect customised trophy concepts. It would just need another member of staff to pick it up and run with it.
Hopefully that can be revived -What trophies members would like to see added?
Artfizz, you had a lot of good ideas in the link above.
What about a trophy that says "Tricks of the trade," and has a picture of an exchange of two pieces.
Or maybe one that says "I blinked, and it was over-good game"
Or "I'm Checking out of that game, well done!"
These are just off the top of my head. I know I'll think of some more; usually it's after I play an interesting game that I think of ones I might like to see. I'll keep you posted.
"Beat me one more time and I'm reporting you for abuse to dumb animals"
or
"You're blocked!" (forum special)
or
"Don't you ever get tired of being pwned?"
trophy size is 100 x 100 pixels
Trophies for games
Trophies for fun
If you come up with a good one and post the image here with the title of the trophy i'll look at adding them for you.
One gets added per month so you can see the one you create being used on the site :)
why just 1 per month?
what I'm really missing is trophies after I win a game. most of them are about how good my opponent played, and I would like to give trophies to weaker people who played a good game, and what I generally I'm left to use is "good game" or "alomst there..."/"optimism"

what would you like to see in the trophies list for games ?
I don't know exactly, but some trophies to give after I won a game, teh current ones are like you bet me, you are too strong, your x piece won the game etc.
Some earlier suggestions for trophies here trophy-inscriptions.
There are several existing game trophies designed to be given by the winner to the loser e.g. Mystery, Second place, Small difference, Chance, Almost there, Optimism, Enthusiasm, Shakespeare.
I'm looking for a trophy that a winner would give to the loser.
These trophies are on pages 5 and 6.
Name of Trophy |
Image |
Inscription |
Mystery |
|
It's a mystery to me why you didn't win! |
Second place |
|
Winning isn't everything, and draws are boring! |
Small difference |
|
That could have been a win, with just a few different moves |
Chance |
|
Sometimes, someone just gets lucky... |
Almost there |
|
You were that close... maybe next time? |
Optimism |
|
You lost that game, but there are worse things than losing. |
Enthusiasm |
|
You lost the game, but not your enthusiasm! |
Shakespeare |
|
There were some great plays in that game |
