Fortress Defeated on Firestorm 9 - No badges given for unbadged players

I was one of Church of Uli member and got no badge after the fortress has been destroyed last saturday. More details, alliance Church of Uli was Red Sobieski that won 6th place in Firestorm 9 but membership formed by various veteran (Sobieski. Cosa-Red Sobieski, Red Sobiesi-Cosa, Blue Sobieski, and Red Sobieski) and players from Blue Sobieski2 and Sobieski Support which haven't received any badge in this world.

I still have the image of our glory taken by our commander.


I only know the rule that is clearly written one player can only have one badge per world. But I didn't see the written rules that one alliance recruited new members without badge, renamed the alliance and reshot the fortress was not recognized as the 7th on half of fame, indeed still as the 6th place and players without badge still without it... So is it a bug? or just not valid because it's the same alliance that won 6th place before?

Curious, are there players who have the same problem in another world? or maybe players who successfully got a badge joining the renamed alliance and had shot the fortress again?
I'd also like to know the developer's opinion here.

A little more data required: What was the name of the Alliance?

Alliance Church of Uli shows them as 6th, but no badges and wrong alliance code.. should be COU, says BS2

can still see the smoldering fortress ruins for another day still

Which alliance was supposed to come in 7th place?

Church of Uli, that is who defeated the fortress just on saturday night 10/13/2018.. shows them as #6 with fortress defeated in september, that was previous alliance who killed it 6th

Ok, can you still remember which Alliance badged 6th? Because it looks like the alliance just renamed instead of forming a new alliance.

Simply renaming an alliance does not qualify for badging. I don't know why the code was created this way, but it's certainly insane and makes no sense whatsoever. The way the code should have been designed (and wasn't): Killing fortress places said alliance with time stamp on "Fortress kill list", anyone without a badge would receive one, period. There would be no check for name change or other.

Under the current design, if an alliance wants to kill fortress multiple times to help others obtain their badge: You must leave the alliance and create a new alliance to qualify new members for any badges. This is because members must change their Alliance_KEY(), which has absolutely nothing to do with an alliance name. The only way to do this is to join a new alliance.

I remember seeing same alliances hit fortress multiple times with same alliance having new members added and they got badges when fortress fell. On w96 I believe it was done with the SBD SHIELD MASTERS alliance.. what changed there was the order numbers.. it currently says 26 in Hall of Fame when in fact they are currently working on badge #29 there. This is too confusing, just a shame all these people did the work for a badge and got nothing instead.

Perhaps a dev can confirm otherwise or maybe that occurred for select newer servers only. I can say with many fortress kills of experience this was never an option through at least W75. Your experience might have been working within a known bug or loophole, but I know this was never a design intention to allow. An alliance can receive credit for killing fortress a single time per server.
