Escapist forum badges

[Macgyvercas]

I want a NEO

Don't we all. I'm about 800 away.

OT:
How much do you care about badges?

I love them. I think of them as my coin collection in real life

Which of your badges is your favorite?

Baby Seal Puncher. It's so wrong, yet so funny at the same time.

Which badge that you don't have yet do you want the most?

Neo, no question. Well, that or Forum Inferno.

Is there some badge you have that you couldn't care less about?

Most of the Genre Wars badges. I used to be big into it, but I kinda just...stopped.

Is there some badge that's unavailabe to you forever that you really would have liked to have?

Don't keep track of the unavailable ones much to be honest.

I do not care for the Matrix badges. Anybody can go into Forum Games, bust out a stream of posts until 5000 and get the badge.

Ah, but not everyone can get to 5000 without getting a suspension of some sort.

Believe me, in Forum Games, you can piss out hundreds of posts in a day without any mod wrath. That's why you see users with join dates newer than ours that have 5 digit post counts.

Simple solution would be to turn off post counts in Forum Games, that way only posts that matter go to your count, making the badges a lot more worthwhile.

I dunno, I agree that spamming some of the forum games to get those badges is kinda a cheap way to get them. If you turn off all posts in the Forum Game & RP forums then it's unfair to the RPers who post at a normal speed. :/
I actually got my Morpheus one before I started posting in the Forum games & RP section. >_>

I think posts in User Groups should be turned off actually :/ They can be spammed too.

I disagree, sincde I disagree with any post whose idea is that post count should be turned off anywhere. Post count that doesn't count all posts is useless, since the point of the post count is to count posts. If it had been some kind of scoring system I could have understood you, but since it's meant to show how many times you've posted it's completely meaningless unless it does that.

Hmmm, that's fair enough. :/ It's not like it has much meaning anyway. xD

How much do you care about badges?

They are pretty cool

Which of your badges is your favorite?

Not sure, there are still a bunch more out there. Probably my murloc out of what I have now.

Which badge that you don't have yet do you want the most?

Looking forward to the Neo type ones for sure. Beat him at his own game would be cool.

Is there some badge you have that you couldn't care less about?

A lot of the starting WoW timeline stuff. I mostly clicked through to find out where I came into the scene and what had happened before.

Is there some badge that's unavailabe to you forever that you really would have liked to have?

Haven't really check out the others, but I wish I had been around to get a Desert Bus badge. I love Desert Bus and everything they do for the children.

1.)I'm an achievement hoe, I can't be expected to just stop caring about badges. They are a part of me, metaphorically speaking.

2.) My favorite badge is my Hot Topic one, or whatever it's called, for making a thread with 50 replies. And that was about hats.

3.)Which ones am I still able to get?

4.) Nope.

5.)The eGames Challenge badges from this year or last year.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

I like my "regular badge", it looks so deliciously frothy....
On the whole I like badges, but I'm not going to start hunting them or anything. They're like achievments or trophies, fun but pointless.
Edit: Oh and "Bamalam", that's a favoutire too, DDKR for life.

 

[Mariakitten]

My favorite is my GLaDOS badge, "Sacrifices must be made! For Science."

 

[Kiefer13]

How much do you care about badges?

Not very much at all. Though it's nice to get one, I'm not really too bothered. They're basically just like achievements in games. Nice to have, but I don't really work towards them.

Which of your badges is your favorite?

My Morpheus Badge (Epic Poster), for 1000 posts without mod wrath.

Which badge that you don't have yet do you want the most?

The Neo Badge (Real Ultimate Poster), for 5000 posts without mod wrath, is the only one I can say I'm really bothered about. I guess something like Forum Inferno would be nice too.

Is there some badge you have that you couldn't care less about?

Most of them, honestly.

Is there some badge that's unavailabe to you forever that you really would have liked to have?

Not really, no.

 

[Plurralbles]

I just imagined for some reason how awesome it'd be if they would send you a vest with all your badges clipped on it and when you're banned, they come to your house, force you to put it on and rip off yoru badges like a bad cop movie.

that'd be epic.

Onto actual topic... though that was a fun thing ot think about...

I wish I had a NEO badge. That'd be kick. But NOOOoooo.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

How much do you care about badges?
Not that much. I don't go out of my way to get them, but it is a nice feature.

Which of your badges is your favorite?
Its a toss-up between Forum Vagabond, Ubermensch, The Pony-Lover and Beta Chatter. That's sort of why I have them as my four.

Which badge that you don't have yet do you want the most?
The Luigi one from the Mario quiz.

Is there some badge you have that you couldn't care less about?
Probably the ones for watching videos, seeing as they're a little of an odd choice to make badges out of.

Is there some badge that's unavailabe to you forever that you really would have liked to have?
The Cookie! badge.

 

[Argtee]

How much do you care about badges? I don't care that much about them. Sure, they're nice to have, like Gamerscore, but If they weren't here, I wouldn't miss them that much.
Which of your badges is your favorite? I guess the "Hot Topic" badge is my favorite. I never knew that I'd make a thread with over 1 000 views. *sniff*
Which badge that you don't have yet do you want the most? The "Real Ultimate Poster" Badge. I'll get it one day!
Is there some badge you have that you couldn't care less about? The "Face with a Name" Badge.
Is there some badge that's unavailabe to you forever that you really would have liked to have? Not really. There are a lot of badges that are unavailable to me forever, but it's ok.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

How much do you care about badges?
They're shiny. Shiny is good!

Which of your badges is your favourite?
WARNING: SEVERE BRAGGING AND EGO-STROKING!
The gold medal for the haiku competition. Mainly because I didn't expect to get it. And I hardly ever win anything, so it gave me a nice fuzzy feeling.

Which badge that you don't have yet do you want the most?
Neo. Or Thanks!. Or the pony badge. I like ponies. Ponies are good.

Is there some badge you have that you couldn't care less about?
Probably - I don't care enough to remember whether I do or not. Har har.

Is there some badge that's unavailable to you forever that you really would have liked to have?
I like the look of those Fable 2 ones - and they're not available anymore, as I understand it. Shame.

 

[Saargston]

I don't really care much about them.

I don't know, maybe the duck hunt one.

I don't particularly feel like getting it, but I do thing it's kind of cool (and very random) that there's a Mike Patton badge, what with him being my favorite singer.

I could care less about all of them, but none stick out in particular.

No.
