Basically the badges right now that people are scared users are gonna farm:
Post badges - because people don't post a shitload
Anniversary badges - can't farm
Namedrop - oh no someone tagged someone in one of their posts once so obstructive to my foruming experience
Photogenic - See above
Getting a lot of agrees - More funny/interesting posts I guess
?
Name dropping is a forum achievement? I'll have to restrain myself from casually dropping @Viscount Islands in this post just to get it.
And I guess the only other things I am curious about are how the level systems work and the badge system. Like shouldn't everyone have gotten the Combo Breaker badge today pretty much? But I notice many people who have 5+ badges all from today don't have it
I'm guessing that the forums are still catching up with giving everyone their badges.
EDIT: I like how in a public poll thread it tells you what someone voted in every one of their posts. I thought it might be just the first post the person made in the thread, but it's all of them!
I wonder if it's a private poll, you'll be the only one seeing what you voted, but in every one of your posts in the thread. Hmm...

but i'm comparing myself to others, and fidn i am either tied or beating them but at a lower level. i find this weird.
maybe it doesn't mean anything at all
whoever grinds achievements on a fucking forum is a dumbo
I have levels but no anniversaries.
You have anniversaries but no levels.
This was my first exposure to the phrase:
I've only used it ironically from there on out.
Discrimination against non-hats.
It took a while for all my badges to hit, and my rank to update. Give it time. It's thinking
That was a quick way to scan for certain threads.
levels are arbitrarily re-rolled every 48 hours so that it can't become an elitist factor.
It's not that I disagree with everyone
I'm just really lazy.

I am the winner at forum achievements
This has increased my enjoyment of them at least 50%.
I actually just assumed that's where the word came from
Ask @Big Red Tie cause he is goin' for it
(alphamonkey has them)
Oh hey we still have the awful smileys. I was wondering about that.
well in terms of hours spent this forum probably clearly wins out even over the MMOs for me
all hail our new king

no, you get it by people agreeing with your stuff
I...I just got it. I think 80% of them were from brt, lord of the empty quote
yes you can.
just because of how awful that would be
/ fist shake!!
You do, but only because you are a good man who make good post
it's receiving 25 agrees, not giving 25
at least i only have comment and anniversary badges atm
i have over 10k posts (my god) but no badges regarding posts
this annoys me more than it should
EDIT: literally as i post this, they updated
i feel this is appropriate
