Bravehardt: @DutchAvenger - You do realize you can't Gump someone in a position higher than you or who is not in your chain of command. Obviously since a Gump only requires TFO permission you were able to do so admin wise but, you shouldn't have...you should have found a CC member to do it for you. Think you just earned a Gump yourself...2 Gumps if you include both mistakes.

The funny thing is that I only nominated him., because as you said, you can't award it to someone in a higher position. Someone else had to approve the award.
You're only as strong as your weakest link
HappyJack: I really appreciate your diligence in awarding me a gump. I look forward to returning the favor someday. Cheers, HJ

I'm glad you like it! And looking forward to that moment!
ShmeeCow: I thought the commendation system was designed to check for this, so that only commendations of members under the CoC of commending member would be approved. Otherwise the commendation would be pending, and have to wait for the correct CoC. Well, I guess it's not perfect :P Anyway, funny stuff, congrats!

Correct, it did show the message it was pending and needed approval from someone else
haha grats.
I had spotted this yesterday and was curious what mistakes had been made. Although I would like to point out that vanguard is both on its own and then again still shown as inside pathfinder, did someone forget?
I think that last map was Hades Squad Vs KenK - StevenBelfast
Has this thread become a Gump announcement channel?

You are welcome to award MaverickSabre a Gump Medal, I am entirely certain that nothing bad will happen to you if you do so.
There is nobody above mav in the chain, so technically nobody can approve it, so he will be save from gumps until the end of his term
Well, lets just put it like this. Commendation system doesn't work entirely like it should I am sure we could arrange something for Mav if we wanted to although I kind of enjoy being in TAW so I will take a pass on that

Maybe
Great party!!
Well, for starters I would say that this post was submitted not on the proper forum because it´s under "Introductions - Introduce Yourself!" instead of being under "General Discussion - Humor and Off Topic".
As for HappyJack adventure, I would guess that was just another try to create a meeting unit for 2nd Corps CC and TFO, most of us already try a lot of different methods to do the same but always with the same result, the difference was that no one noticed until the unit was deleted again :)
If we kept close attention to all admin mistakes that are made daily we could easily create a "Gump Awarding Department" just to deal with it, but this one was a good catch, although it´s always risky to propose a Gump Medal to a higher-up because you might not know why and the reasons that were behind it, and as stated before the Gump can shoot you back because of it:)
As for the commendation, and as stated in the policy, anyone with the available privileges can submit, but the approval should be under the member CoC.
So, to keep this forum’s mindset, I guess that we might have a “Gumpy” weekend ahead of us.
Have Fun!!
Hehe! That was part of the joke though. I'd like to have this new game introduced 😂
Anyway, it was fun! Had my fair share of laughter since this little accident!
Thanks for the great start of a (hopefully) great weekend!
You are exactly right Cannas, I created squads for each of my division's commanders so that I could invite them by unit to our monthly TFO meeting. The error came about when I tried to do the same for Grizz and myself. How could I know that creating a squad at the Corp level would be interpreted by the "website" as a new division. I did think it was rather cheeky to receive a Gump from someone of a lesser rank and in a different CoC, but that's ok, I'll relish my revenge!

I'm starting to wonder now...
I got a message that someone had to approve it 🤔...
So someone in the correct CoC must've seen it and approved it right?
If not, how was it even possible? After reading your last reply I'm starting to think there are a couple of flaws in the awarding and unit creating system?
I'm not so sure that we should discuss all the flaws in the system. It might open us up to even more problems, as some might be tempted to try them out to see if they work.
Well,
I believe that we all can agree that it´s easy to blame the website when we get a Gump based on admin reasons, but no matter what we keep putting ourselves into a position to get “Gumped” over and over again, and most of the times is because we care and try to break some incompatibilities between the website and what we want to do.
So, I have to agree that HappyJack got himself into the position that a Gump Medal is in place, not only for the mishap but also for the commotion that was created.
On the other hand, DutchAvenger as a meticulous TFO couldn´t let this go without notice, so, props to him for bringing out to the forums and let us congratulate HappyJack for becoming part of the “Gump Club”.
But to get things in order we cannot allow that any member should approve any commendation that is not under his direct CoC, so, the initial commendation submitted by DutchAvenger was deleted and I have created a new one for the same effect, asking you kindly to repeat the comments that you have submitted on the previous one.
HappyJack Gump Medal approved by his CoC :)

And as expected, for approving a medal out of his CoC, DutchAvenger is also awarded another beautiful Gump.

Thanks all for making this week more fun!!
