Hey guys, I was just sitting here thinking...

What would be a cool new kind of badge to see on the Escapist Forums?

Then, after a quick search to make sure I wasn't dredging up old news, I figured what the heck, I'll poll the Forum Peeps!

SO! If you could suggest a new badge for the Escapist Forums, what would it be and how would you earn it?

Mine would be the Bounty Hunter badge, gotten for 100 straight Legit uses of the Report Button, probably with a 6-week minimum time limit. And it would totally be of Samus in some awesome way.

So, Ideas?

Maybe a Badge for anyone who can go a week without replying to an Avatar thread.

It will be called 'NO I dont want hug,kiss,fight,go shopping with my avatar because It's a bloody inanimate object you annoying twat!'

New idea for a thread:

Would you say 'NO I dont want hug,kiss,fight,go shopping with my avatar because It's a bloody inanimate object you annoying twat!' with your avatar?

I always wanted a badge for very good behavior.

Sure the Matrix badges are somewhat for that, but I'm talking about being soo polite and friendly that you get a special badge that only the staff and mods could give to certain users. I'd call it "Good role model"

This is a gaming website, what if there was someone we could challenge, mods or other people associated with this website in games like Pokemon, Brawl, Halo, CoD or other multiplayeresk games and a badge would be rewarded if we win.

That one's not a bad idea, but it would have to be personally awarded by the staff member themselves, you know?

The day I get an Okami releated badge, is the day I stop hoping to get an Okami related badge...
I'd always dreamed of a Pokemon badge. Then I got one.
I'd always dreamed of a Dragon Age badge. Then I got one.
Now, if I get Elder Scrolls and Link badges I'll be a happy chappy and that will be my 4.

You'd be surprised about the amount of pointless reports that come in >.>
Or not. Having a different opinion, smoking, or drinking, are not reportable offenses. Yet those are probably some of the most common pointless reports.

Now, on topic: ...
Actually, I quite liked the idea TeeBs had for a winner badge from victories against staff/mods in games.
There is nothing I can currently think of that hasn't already been said.
Maybe some sort of badge for being obsessed with something...

Yeah, I figured. From years and years of being on the Newgrounds forums (dear jesus, save me), I figured the stupidity factor would be almost as high anywhere else. Just because I say something that doesn't fit with your world view doesn't mean the mods can ban me from the forums for it.


Your post gave me another idea, maybe a Badge showing a speech bubble awarded for getting Quoted a bunch, that'd be pretty spiff, imho.

Badges are meaningless. Achievement points are meaningless. Gamer Scores are meaningless.

Is someone able to explain to me why they care so much about them?

I have been quoted perhaps at least a thousand times since joining, but the Escapist keeps wiping away my old quotes >.>
I know/think I lost the better part of six hundred quotes in the first wipe >.>
And it seems another one has been done up to December of 2010... so many quotes wiped away >.>
But yes, I suppose that is another interesting idea for a badge, I think it occurred to me when I saw a thread like this a year or more ago >.>
But I don't think I said it >.>

Dear God I would have that lately


OT: I vote for a badge for watching archived video series. A badge called something like "Archivist" or "Historian".

There should be badges for watching Zero Punctuation and Doraleous and associates. I would also like to see an Autobot and Decipticon badge (maybe which Transformers side are you on quiz).
Also yes this will annoy people who think it's a meme but it would be awesome if they had My Little Pony FiM badge (let throw in some manly shows like GI Joe for those who are complaining). I know there is a pony badge but as far as I know there is no way to get that.

Why bother? The staff gets jack-all done for one reason or another.

The community tab hasn't had any user/group spotlights since a few thousand posts ago. Which is really saying something from me, since I barely ever post anymore.

And to the best of my knowledge, the badge for going 24 hours on this site has yet to be implemented from the E-Games of last year. Again, quite some time ago.

Speculating on this matter is pointless unless you're planning on making your own site with the same features.
