The Independent Miners Guild Prizes

It is said that sometimes the actions of the few have a significant impact on the lives of the many.

I full-heartedly believe and support the above statement. The Independent Miners Guild shall reward the individuals whose actions support in any way other people. They at least deserve our respect and their names to be kept alive in the collective consciousness ~ Edmond Higgins, IMG Guild Master 733 - 743 A.S.

Name: Hero of the Guild

Description: As the star is the symbol of IMG, the Golden Star is undoubtedly the highest decoration within the Independent Miners Guild. It's recipients are distinguished by their influence and contribution to mankind in the most positive and meaningful way. It is the only prize which requires the positive vote of every Guild Master.

Name: Distinguished Worker's Medal

Description: Mining, Transportation and Logistics has always been essential in the Guild that tries to organise independent miners. Often these routine tasks are dangerous or require courage or endurance. Guildmembers get the Distinguished Worker's Medal to show that they are hard working men and woman and also to show that the Guild recognizes their loyal effort.

Distinguished Worker's Medal: Participation in 10 convoys (8)

1. The IMG Crown

• Blue Crown: awarded every 2 kills of fighters and bombers (9)
  
• Red Crown: awarded for every 2 confirmed and reported Gunboat and Transport kills (9)
  

2. The IMG Stars

• Blue Star: awarded for 5 successful smuggling/semi legal activities (10)
  
• Silver Star: awarded for every every 10 convoys (11)
  
• Golden Star: awarded for calmness and courage while under fire that led to the success of a mission (12)
  

3. The IMG Ribbons

• Blue Ribbon: awarded to pilots who fly in convoys often (13)
  
• Gold Ribbon: awarded for an extraordinary heroic deed (14)
  

Name: Mark of the Paragon

Description: There are several Guild Members who have shown unprecedented zeal for their work or for preserving the IMG ideals. They are a shining example to the rest of the Guild Members and the Paragon prize embodies that.

Name: Mark of the Philanthropist

Description: The Independent Miners Guild does not only provide work for its members but sometimes also offers a home for their families. Over the years, we have provided work and shelter for many refugee families fleeing the House wars. Therefore, those who donate to IMG in order to support our efforts in helping them, deserve to be recognized.

Name: Mark of the Vanguard

Description: Defending ourselves from criminal organisations or rivaling House corporations was never easy; over the years thousands of our Guild Members have sacrificed their lives to protect and defend our independence. The Vanguard badge is the mark of honor to those pilots who act above and beyong the call of duty in service of the Independent Miners Guild.


Mark of the Vanguard: 10 reported confirmed kills (0)

1. The IMG Crown

• Blue Crown: awarded for every 10 confirmed and reported snub kills (1)
  
• Red Crown: awarded for every 10 confirmed and reported capital ship kills (2)
  

2. The IMG Stars

• Blue Star: awarded for every 3 successful contraband interceptions (3)
  
• Silver Star: awarded for every 5 kills scored on high profile targets (4)
  
• Golden Star: awarded for every 5 escort/scouting runs (5)
  

3. The IMG Ribbons

Screening for Awards: How to do it?

Mark of the Vanguard:

(0): Snub or Cap kills. See (1) and (2) about how to screen it.
(1): Snub Kill Award (Blue Crown): Post blue messages of snub kills. You have to show in the blue message. If the blue message is not clear, everybody present in the fight can claim it.
(2): Cap Kill Award (Red Crown): Post the blue message of the cap kill (also: Liners/Transports). Every pilot can claim it once, even if his name does not show in the blue message.
(3): Contraband Interception: Screen of cargo scan and blue message (if more ships cooperate, every one can claim it). Works with Cardamine and Slaves in Taus.
(4): High Profile Targets: Blue message showing their name and yours. High profile is defined as the official factions of our enemies, all bountied targets and our "special friends".
(5): File a convoy report that shows you and the convoy (minimum 2 transports)
(6): Players who often log, are good team players but not often get kills get this. Making at least 3 MD entries is necessary.
(7): Report 2 extraordinary activities and try to have it backed up by another IMG player who also reports about it. If you are alone, make sure that the action is well-documented. This award should be something really special.


Dinstinguished Worker's Medal:

(8): Be able to prove that you participated in 10 convoys [= minimum 3 ships + high risk cargo, e.g. ore] via screenshots. The reports do not have to be filed by you, it counts as long as you show on the pictures as a participant. One report is necessary (in which you say when you flew and link the pictures)
(9): Screenshot the blue message with your transport name. All other transports that can prove they shot the target can claim it also because transport fighting is teamwork.
(10): Report (with screens) about the smuggling run. It has to be teamwork (at least 3 IMG|) or if you do it alone, it has to contain interaction with the faction that receives the goods (e.g. [M] when supplying Arranmore).
(11): Prove (at least in one summary report) that you flew 10 more convoys. You do not have to have reported the convoys on your own. It is enough if you show up in the screenies of the convoy report that someone else made.
(12): Report about 3 tense situations in which you were shot at and made it because of wit, bravery, teamwork, etc. You also need 1 witness who reports the same incident. Be convincing and you get it.
(13): You filed reports about 10 convoys runs yourself? You get it.
(14): Report 2 extraordinary activities and try to have it backed up by another IMG player who also reports about it. If you are alone, make sure that the action is well-documented. This award should be something really special.
