Description

One of the key items on the 2010 Admin Meeting was the topic of Merit Badges. A Merit Badge Focus Group was set up to discuss the number and requirements for badges.

Intended as rewards for continued and dedicated service to TarValon.Net the list of badges Became available in February 2011. They may be reviewed and added to as time progresses.

While a reward in itself, merit badges may also used to determine other rewards members could receive. For example discounts to Tower Parties and relaxed bonding rules are two rewards for members with all the necessary merit badges.

Merit badges will be attainable by members of all ranks though some may only be attainable by members of certain ranks and none will be easily attainable. They will be designed to recognise the members who go above and beyond normal service, typically only the top 2-5% of people contributing in a given area will earn the badge.
