I would like to introduce an Eruedan Memorial Medal




This medal should be awarded by us GB-Members after one edition of Olympic Games has ended - there should be a gold EMM, a silver EMM and a bronze EMM in two different categories:

- the most fair athlete at the Olympic Games

- the most reputable GB-member, who rendered outstanding services here on GamesBids


This time should be the first time - after the Bejing Olympics we will collect proposals for the two categories and we will have a vote afterwards...

Recommendations for the procedures of the Eruedan Memorial Medal are welcome!

Hmmm, perhaps we could find a permanent spot on the site to honour the winners. I like the logo.

"Vol" made the logo when we learned about Eruedan's accident and his death - I just remembered it!

That would be great, R.!!! I think it is time to create a "GB-prize" and I believe the Beijing Olympics are a good time to introduce it - furthermore we should keep Eruedan in our memories! He was a great guy!

Dear GB-members,

please watch the Beijing Olympics carefully - this time it is the first time that the athlete, who showed real sportmanship during the Olympic Games, will be honoured by the GB "Eruedan Memorial Medal"...

After the Beijing Olympics are closed the GB-members are allowed to propose athletes - after the proposal time we will elect the first winner of the "ERUEDAN MEMORIAL MEDAL"....

Furthermore there will be another category - who is the most current reputable GB-member? Who rendered outstanding services here on GamesBids in the last year?


P.S.: Thanks GBModerator to pin this thread!

Eruedan was a member of this website, who posted regularly here - when one day his brother came into the forum and told us that he died in a car accident - since he knew that his brother liked GamesBids he came into our forum to let us know about the accident - that was in 2006 - the Beijing Olympics are the first Olympic Games after Eruedans death...

Being a cat-lover, I demand EQUAL representation of a Cat. A Living award!! Otherwise, this canine medal will be rejected!!

What a fantastic idea, CAF. A very touching tribute.

Ah, yes. I remember that the brother came on and told us that. I didn't remember/know the name of the fellow.
Thanks.
