Poll: Badge Brag

[Kaboose the Moose]

My Battlestar Galactica cuff-links that came in an autographed box.

OT:

I don't really like any of the Escapist badges save for Arcade Escapee and Good and bad ending of POTA2 because Phantom of the Arcade and Phantom of the Arcade 2 are brilliant, fun and awesome games that actually require people to think. Thank you to all that wrote, designed and made the game btw. It was a joy to play through.

Apart from that nothing much. I like the Hallo-winner 2009 one because not many people have it and it's cool looking. Yeah, apart from that..nothing else. In fact the only one I would truly ever want is that..damn..Pony badge!.

Screw the Thanks badge. For Pony!!

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

I guess my owns for my most popular thread (which I can't actually remember what it was). I know it probably won't happen but I want to get the Morpheus badge at some point. Only problem is that I'm not sure if I've ever had mod attention, is there anyway to check?

 

[Deathsane]

I've got 15 and thats pretty good for just joining this month

 

[dalek sec]

82 badges and I'm not even some badge freak.

I like the Halloween badges from both years, the WoW badge I got for winning a contest and my Honorable Mention badge for the E-games this past summer.

Woah!. If this was a contest you'd win, who is it signed by?.

To answer the OP, I don't know how many badges I have. I havent bothered to check which kind of shows how much I care for badges. If I had to chose though, I would say the one with owl on it and for getting more than 100 replies to a post.

I used to care a lot about the badges but they tend to be an afterthought for me now. Neo is the goal if anything

 

[GBlair88]

The notable poster one I got two days before being put on probation.

I've got 45 altogether. The ones I'm most proud of aren't really as important as aesthetics, which is why I like my four displayed ones. They just seem to fit together (even though I have updated badges in some cases).

I do remember earning that Sparta badge, though. 13 weak Ninja assassins versus a quartet of the most powerful Alien units (three varieties). The result, of course, was total elimination. Of the aliens.

Fun fact: no one expects it, but scissors can beat rock, if they get the drop on it!

 

[Generator]

I have about 30, but I'm not particularly proud of any of them. Most of them I got just from watching (or not watching, but still receiving badges for some reason) shows on the site.

I'm shooting to be one of the rare few who get the Neo badge, though. Not sure if I'll make it, but I got my fingers crossed.

 

[plastic_window]

I like my 'Regular' badge. Even though I've not Gone Gonzo, I've been here a lot longer than many folk who have.

Other than that, I like my stress ball badge. I've got a few wierd ones for watching series or playing Genre Wars, but I like the little randomised holiday special badges that I've received in the past. Even though I have no idea what my Valentine's Day badge means.

 

[Charli]

Egh none of them... The vampire one took me some dedicated time to get but I was REALLY bored.
I mean like... there could not possibly be anything else for me to do at that moment in time.
And then I had to finish it.

The rest I've just kinda accumilated through boredom, all equal in their dedication.

 

[Andalusa]

Wow.
I got 70, exactly.
I don't even try to get them. The only one I actually put some effort in to getting was my DDKR one. Which also happens to be my favourite.

 

[Aunel]

Considering my personality, my most significant one is "You Like Me!" wherein someone adds you as a friend.

I am an unlikable, inhumane, sociopathic, narcissistic prick and I'm damn proud of that and the fact that anyone would add me as a friend obviously doesn't know that much about me.

we are all like that here, the Escapist is a safe haven for us.

OT: screw badges, I want to unlock more text effects!

 

[Caligulove]

I think most of the badges I have are ones that I have not really tried to get, yet still feel proud of some of them I guess.

The one for 1,000 views of a created topic is one that I feel good about

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

I like the badges I have displayed
I don't post much, so Neo may take ALOT of time. But I like the Morpheus. It means I didn't screw up! Yay!
The grenade that means I kicked arse at Genre Wars, even if it became a cake-walk once everyone started figuring out the bots' patterns.
Not too many people show off their fable badges.
I honestly don't know how many badges I have as I never bothered to count them, and they feel less meaningful now that they are handed out just for watching the videos on here.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

I got the grenade! W00000T!!!!!! Hells yeah but I don't really know how I got it lol

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I just blunder my way through the site and forums, and lo! Badges appear. Let's see... 26 of them now apparently.

 

[Internet Kraken]

I think I have around 60 badges.

My favorite is the one I got for the Flash Game Play offs, because no one else will ever get it! Also Long Time Listener because I like the color.

 

[AWC Viper]

Whatever ones are under my Avatar are the ones i love the most.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Two of my displayed badges:

Anniversary Letters: For having a comment published in Issue 210 (e-volution) of The Escapist Magazine, which also meant my comment was published in the special 4[sup]th[/sup] Anniversary PDF version of that issue as well. Only three other users have it.

Thanks!: Given out to users whom the staff think have contributed greatly to the community and staff in a unique and helpful way. A very hard to get badge and we even have a special user group for our kind. After all, we... we did earn it!

If you don't mind me asking, what did you do to receive the "Thanks!" badge?
I only ask, because it's the only one I aspire to obtain.
