INGENIOUS! baaaaadgessss..... *drools*Caramel Frappe said:No worries my friend. There's always the incredible one and only..
Escapist Badge Hunters Group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-Badge-Hunters].
Here, you can talk and socialize with Members who have a passion for Badges like you and I. Not to mention they have a huge Badge list you can look at to see how to achieve them. Trust me, they're a handful and time consuming so you'll always be busy. I'm actually doing that right now with one particular Badge..
The Lol...Wut? Badge that is.
Caramel Frappe said:Honestly I think you deserve something for working that hard. It was as if you were slaving yourself away to earn those points beyond what was needed. I'm very impressed by that, I mean I struggled and after all that I put forth into the contest.. I only managed to get 131 points and I consider myself highly fortunate to of even made it onto the Leaderboard. You should be proud plus your Avatar is awesome! (jumping toast kitty? Spectacular.) So don't sweat it okay?Vamantha said:And I thought my raking up 215 points was bad ass. :<
..Still can't imagine how you did it. Darn, you'll probably ace the next Contest after this one so I will have to toughen up due to people like you who give off a real challenge.
Sorry about that; I tend to forget that tone of voice doesn't carry over the internet. It appears I gave off the wrong impression. I wasn't actually offended, and meant for that first sentence to be taken in jest (rereading my post though has made me realize how poorly worded it was). So just to clarify, I wasn't trying to call you out on your post, and I'm certainly not offended. On the contrary, you've actually been one of the friendlier posters which is saying something considering how friendly everyone else has been as well. So ya, that was poor word choice rather than me being an ass ^_^Caramel Frappe said:... Um, you simply misunderstood what I said there, no offense. Look at this part:Phi0nix said:Woah woah woah, are you implying that the rest of us didn't give you a challenge? Seriously though I think it's crazy how much effort we all gave to get to the top 20. I don't know about anyone else, but for me I started off thinking I would never even make the leader board. Then I saw I was only about 20 points away and got hell-bent on doing it. That was back when the 20th rank was held by people with like 41 points. To look at it now and see it made of all 120+ points is astounding. Congrats to all of us for keeping up with such an intense pace, especially Vamantha who broke 200.
I'm directing this to everyone who's like Vamantha and gave me a hard challenge including you. Plus, I already stated in several posts on previous pages that I was very relieved everyone on the Leaderboard was given a fair position since they worked so hard for it. I think you jumped on me a little to quick on that buddy ^_^. Don't you also remember that I gave you props during the contest and tried to motivate you (or least root for you). So yeah again you misunderstood so please don't think I don't appreciate you all for doing so well okay? :}Darn, you'll probably ace the next Contest after this one so I will have to toughen up due to people like you who give off a real challenge.
You can always keep clicking the red button badges.Joshua Gale said:wait we are supposed to stop clicking the badges now!?!? you mean we arent still gaining points?! but....but the badges were my life...... now what do I do? what do I click? what is life without badges?
Thank you. Honestly, I think I was doing what everyone else was doing. I just had a lot more dedication to do it. You all had dedication, but I was in a lot of pain and I just used the contest to focus on and forget how much pain I was in. When the pain was up I was like I have a quest to complete! I have no idea how I'll react if I win first prize, but we'll find out tomorrow.Caramel Frappe said:Honestly I think you deserve something for working that hard.

Hell man, I'm sorry people tried to blast you over this. It might not mean much, but I'm pretty sure that all of in the top 20 are really happy for you and respect the work you put in. For me, I felt like you were raising the standard which pushed me to keep going. Btw, not sure what kind of pain you're dealing with, but I can understand being driven by torturous pain; hope things get better for you man.Vamantha said:The only thing that bothered me was I got a few hate messages accusing me of being a cheater during the event.
I'm still curious where you found the cache of Undead Monster badges you alluded to. I was happy when I found the Badge Hunters Group (lots of members going after every single badge!), but that soon subsided after finding out there weren't many active members. I think I only got 10 badges from that group.Vamantha said:The only thing that bothered me was I got a few hate messages accusing me of being a cheater during the event.
Honestly, I went to users, then to users in the USA and started down the list. I went through a total of about 200 pages of the main page. In the thousands for actual user profiles. I spent hours doing this. x3 I also would save a couple badges with badges away in my bookmarks so if I really needed them (like in the end) I could just click em.eugaet said:I'm still curious where you found the cache of Undead Monster badges you alluded to.

Yep, today's the day. Haven't received any notification. I'm telling myself this is because they haven't sent them out yet.
Glad to know I'm not the only one doing that.eugaet said:Yep, today's the day. Haven't received any notification. I'm telling myself this is because they haven't sent them out yet.
Yeah, I've been having a lot of dental and health problems lately. I had a root canal on the day of the contest I think. I was on antibiotics (amoxicillin) and they really upset my stomach and some of my other pain got in the way. I'm really grateful for a great boyfriend to take care of me during all this. He already had a full plate and still make a ton of time for me.Caramel Frappe said:.. .. Aw, you were in pain? .. I hope it's nothing to serious because I wouldn't imagine trying to do something that takes a lot of effort like this contest while being in so much pain. I'm truly sorry.. v_v and I thank you friend who gave you the Avatar (even though you call him an ex friend.) Today's the day we find out, I bet everyone's holding their breath to see who wins.Vamantha said:Thank you. Honestly, I think I was doing what everyone else was doing.

I have no idea how I'll react if I win first prize, but we'll find out tomorrow.I've had this icon for years, like back when I was 18 years old. An ex friend of mine gave it to me and I've loved the little guy since. Three cheers for hopping toast cat!
Thanks for that and good luck to you as well as everyone else. I'll certainly need all the luck I can get, it's so intense just waiting around and usually I think waiting is the relaxing part of any event haha. Also, darn I would of liked having that Hot Chocolate Badge. But speaking of Spartans, I don't think we'd want to go into their pit.Joshua Gale said:SQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE! so excited! *crosses fingers* good luck to everyone! For those of us who dont win we can always jump into this boss sparta pit i've been lounging by!
Agreed, I would have been a saaaaaaaaaad kitty to see an empty inbox after part two of my root canal.Phi0nix said:Glad to know I'm not the only one doing that.eugaet said:Yep, today's the day. Haven't received any notification. I'm telling myself this is because they haven't sent them out yet.
Ah, I tried doing the same thing but didn't have the patience.Vamantha said:Honestly, I went to users, then to users in the USA and started down the list.

I found a lot of interesting profiles and icons. The most common username that starts with a word is either "Dr." or "Doctor". Yup, I was bored.eugaet said:Ah, I tried doing the same thing but didn't have the patience.Vamantha said:Honestly, I went to users, then to users in the USA and started down the list.
