Awesome - my plan to make everyone wear my terrible forum name is now complete. Thanks again for all the hardwork! Can't believe we're getting so close to the actual event - I'm more excited this year than last.
BTW I just want to say that all of this is so amazingly epic. Last year when I went to PAX it was just having fun and chilling, I didn't bother much with the forums before the event. This year I'm so incredibly stoked with the badge and the PAX cards and everything. Just heightens the entire PAX experience.
As Pascual has demonstrated, the badges now exist! I've sent some out to people who will be distributing at the following events:
Pre-PAX East Dinner
Cookie Brigade
Pre PAX Lunchtime Fried Food Extravaganza
Mystery Magical Tour
The PAX East Train Alliance has not been included due to the range of routes people are taking, so sorry about that. Those of you not attending the above or fail to get them at those events as they have run out , can pick them up from the BYOC desk

Is the Pre-PAX gaming night no longer included either?

Yes, the Thursday night one anyway as I'm going to it.
On a side note, those hoping to pick one up from BYOC, there will be around 75 badges at that location. Previously I've had way more than that, but have had to throw most of them away at the end of the PAX Weekend. This time I'm hoping to not have to do that!
So sorry about not picking mine up last PAX Prime, I got really sick and just seemed to lose track of the time. I will get mine this Prime. Thanks for the great work.

Some people are like Slinkies. They have no practical use whatsoever,
but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Kropotkin made some small typos in the first post for the questions and answers. Here are the corrected versions.
Please note that these are not correct. These are a joke. Use the correct answers from the first post to get your badge.
1) Name an unofficial PAX East community event:
* Kropotkin's House Party
* Boston Marathon
* Annual Rib Festival in Cleveland, Ohio
2) Who made the Forum Badges and what is she/he full of?
Kropotkin, who is full of candy.
3) Do Gabe and Tycho read the PAX forums?
Indirectly. Khoo employs slave drones to read the forums, and then offers their still-glistening brains to Gabe and Tycho on a silver tray, nestled in a bed of frozen puppy tears.
4) Name the primary forum admin
Our Dear Leader, Kim Jong-Il
5) What are exchanged by Forum members during PAX East?
Virulent diseases which, upon meeting, swarm together in an unholy marriage of death and decay, producing the PAX POX.
6) What colour are the forums in?
This is a racist question and I refuse to answer it.
7) Why do key forum threads have the word [East] as a prefix in their titles?
This is a broken piece of legacy code. The PAX forums were originally used for the Pastry Aficionados Exposition. These tags are meant to say [Yeast], and were intended to indicate threads discussing raising agents for baking.
8) There is a group of PAX attendees that sell crunchy and sweet foodstuffs for the Childsplay charity during the event. What is this group called?
Stormtroopers.
9) What ornament is imprinted on the rear of the PAX East 2011 Forum Badge?
A pink unicorn hair clip, much like the one Kropotkin wears.
10) According to the forums, it is a general rule that PAX East is most definately not, under any cirumstances a BLANK service. What is the 'blank'?
Is anyone in the Westin lobby handing out forum badges tonight? I haven't spotted any distributors yet.

got mine from Kropotkin himself while he was handing them out in the Westin lobby and love it! looks even better than it does in the pictures and has already caught a few eyes. a job well done and perhaps a ringing endorsement for the Community crest/coat or arms.

Yep, you can get one at the entrance to BYOC.
Yes, the Thursday night one anyway as I'm going to it.

I forgot to pick one up last year, but I plan not to forget this year.
It... It's beautiful.
MelesMeles will have some and I'll probably have leftovers from the PPD.
but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

sweet! a good old fashioned gentleman's duel!
Neither Kropotkin nor I are gentlemen. We are however both British.
Marmite at dawn?
Oh a duel to the death. I think you're taking this a little too seriously.
I never finish anyth
Edit: Nevermind. I can apparently not read.
