If you are wondering why you did not receive an emblem for watching both the GDC unveil of OnLIVE or the special GDC episode, this year's requirements were not only a contribution discussing the unveiling of OnLIVE, it also required you to watch the OnLIVE broadcast.
We wanted to recognize those who willingly discussed and watched the GDC press conference about the technology. As you all know we don't release the requirements on how users will receive the emblems.
It was important for us to recognize our active contributors. OnLIVE is ground breaking news, you were all bound to be excited and talk about; even if it was just a wohooo or nah.
We have made one exception for the requirements of this year's GDC emblem. If you did not receive the emblem for watching the press conference you can still receive it if you discussed the new technology from March 23rd at 11pm (15 mins after the CNET news release)through March 24th at 11:59pm PT in the forums or the news release comments.
How you'll report the msising emblem:
1) Answer one of the following:
What time did the show start? (early birds)
What time did it end? (late owls)
Note: Use your timezone when you post the estimated times (ET, PT, MT, etc). You only need to answer one of these questions depending if you came early or left late.
2) Post the link to the page
3) Post the timestamp w/timezone
4) Additional proof: Not a requirement. If you want to post a screenshot of the page this helps too. A screenshot is not a substitute for the url.
If you didn't discuss this new technology from those time frames, sorry, you've missed out on this one.
Once again, please be reminded that we don't give out the details on what the requirements are to receive the emblems. Being an emblem holder is a privilege, not a right.
