Others have asked why their name is not on the badge at the moment. This is despite the fact that I have explained on several occasions that the names currently shown are place-holder ones from last year. Just to ram this point home, this is what the back of the forum badge actually looks like as I post this message:
Now that we've cleared that up, I can now warn you that the dreaded questions will be posted very soon. These are the questions asked by the BYOC staff before they pass a badge to you. These questions are very easy provided you frequent the forums. They exist to ensure only forum members get the badges.
Oh man. A test too?! I'm ready. You post the questions here, I'd assume? Are the answers posted as well, or is that something we figure out or already know? First time doing this, so yeah.
You can see last year's updated OP to get an idea for how the questions work at the BYOC desk. They are pretty straightforward - just something to make sure that you visit this forum.
If Kropotkin follows the same pattern as last year, you may not even need the answers if you are at certain community events, like the PPD.
Hopefully you have the space to add everyone, including me if you can, even though I haven't assisted much on the creation of the badge but I am a Pax Veteran . Keep us posted.

The OP has been updated with these questions. Remember those who collect their badges from the Pre-PAX Dinner and board game nights do not have to answer any questions.
*excitement* I forgot last year, but remembered at Prime this time! Will grab the badge at one of the board game meetups this year definitely Thanks very much and I really like the design this go around Kropotkin.
What level of participation do you have to have to obtain one of these? I've not been active in the forums up to this point, though I've been to Pax East starting 3 years ago. I hope to be somewhat more active going forward
So I posted on his before about the tests and such. And definitely wanted on the badge since I'm all geeked out for PAX and all... But is there a time where you're capping the people put on it? For space or date reasons?
The last date for getting your name on the back of the badge is FRIDAY 28TH MARCH 2014. So if you do not post your name here after that date you don't get your name on the back of the badge.
can'twait, hope I don't fail the test.. lol I'm pretty bad at tests... also just wanted to make sure my name gets on the badge this year, I posted in here a while ago, but just want to make sure I wasn't overlooked...

I asked a question about the test before, but I had just one more! Do you get asked all 10? Or is it just one?

Depends on the enforcer asking you the questions. Usually just one or two.
