The Scarlet Purple-Nickel is well known to the Marauders and to a fair number of none-marauders as well. 
"The Scarlet Purple-Nickel is our equivalent to the Purple Heart. It is awarded in recognition of wounds sustained in paintball combat. If you are shot by a paintball that breaks the skin and draws blood, you get the award. But it must be a bleeding wound. We ain't just fooling around here! I don't want to see no wimpy black and blue bruises or blood-blisters just under the skin. You only get one for a wound that bleeds from a direct paintball hit. If you fall down and cut yourself and start bleeding all over our clean battlefield, then you're just clumsy! Take some money out of petty cash and buy yourself a Band-Aid.
The most recent addition to the Marauders collection is the Brass Ball. This award is our equivalent to the Bronze Star. . It is awarded in recognition of the skillful and exceptional execution of combat tactics as well as personal initiative and leadership under fire. These may seem like just silly paintball awards made up by a bunch of middle aged guys out playing army, but there is no denying the motivational effect of recognition for ones efforts by receiving one of these. Beside, it's all part of the fun"  ---- Maj. D. Saster 2/1 Marauders
