i got all the medals on a map and instead of a black border i got a gold one is that normal?

You need to beat the CHIMPS all the way through w/o saving and quitting when you're about to lose.

[PowerHouse266]

yeah when you play chimps you are not allowed to back out of the game at all

It basically means the same thing. Black border is awarded for doing the game in one session, so saving and quitting to avoid a loss or just having to close the game to do something else is not allowed.

Ultimately though, it means nothing.

Aside as a prove of dedication to the game by putting attention (& time) into 1 CHIMPS session....

It also means that the player did not perform "save-scumming". It is a way to cheat by not spending any resources/abilities until very last minute, and reload save if it is too late. If they did, they only deserve a gold variant.

Black Border or Black Medal means a lot, especially on Expert map to show that a particular strategy is highly reliable and less luck-based. Not only player from all skill level willing to understand when to spend, what is the major weakness of their strategy for better run; but also for game developers to make a better game balancing.

(such as increasing projectile speed, making ability less luck-based, reducing damage from spam-able defense, giving feedback on how a round is lost, rework certain upgrade, etc.)

Ultimately, it means that the player showed their dedication towards this game by spending more effort than usual, and deserved a unique title.

CHIMPS awards up to 2 medals. 1 for beating it, 1 for beating it in a single sitting.
It's the only mode that does so.

As Cat said, it's to award people who prepare thoroughly and don't just rely on scumming when their defences fail on a certain wave. It doesn't mean much on easier levels, but I can't even begin to imagine doing stuff like Bloody Puddles black border. The video doing it looks crazy!
