Just a reminder, posting in this thread will get your name on the rear of the badge, but it is not a "reservation" for a badge. There will definitely be enough for everyone, if any previous year is an indicator. You'll have to either hit up the BYOC desk for one or obtain one at one of the pre-pax events where they are present (usually the MMT, pre pax dinner, and at least one boardgaming area).

No worries... I can always write my handle on it with a sharpie, lol. The one I have from a couple years ago just had a black space for your handle. I'll be at the Pre-PAX gaming at the Westin, is that a good place to pick it up?

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the 208 people who participated in this thread and helping making the Forum Badge possible. Here be the back of the badge:
I sense a distinct lack of Khoo...
Other than that, these are definitely kick ass

10) What creature is there a picture of on the right hand side of the PAX community shield?
I edited it into the OP so it's a little easier to find. Since these are the forum badges though, I think there's some expectation that people have been paying attention to the thread

Noooo! I knew I missed something! Ah well, too late now.
This may be a dumb question, but does anyone have a map or an approximate location of the BYOC desk where we can get the badges? I know this has prevented me from getting one in the past....

@JayDfromMA - Not a problem. The BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) is located in the "Intel PC Room" marked on the currently available maps (I'll provide a link in a minute). Located on Southwest B2 Level 0. You can access the PC Room either by walking out of the back of the Expo Hall, Out of the Table Top area, or from the Southwest Side of Level 1 via escalators. Once you're in the PC room, the BYOC area is in the back side.. and there are LARGE registration desks back there. If you get lost, simply find an Enforcer, and they'll point you in the correct direction. If all else fails, ask any Enforcer where Vapok (that's me) is, and that'll get you there.
Kropotkin .... this sleepy kitty is wondering if you know which of the 3 gaming rooms you will be in at the Westin so I can retrieve my badge ? Or will they perhaps be at the Cookie Brigade table where it would entice everyone to buy cookies and support child's play?

There are THREE gaming rooms? Oh right. Well I'll tour around them handing out badges before settling down to play a game. I shall let the Cookie Brigade station know where I'm sitting before I do start playing games.

I see that I have been removed from the user list on the badge. That's understandable. I missed the last two PAXes because I had this girlfriend that loved video games, yet she wouldn't go to PAX with me. :(
As you may have guessed, we are not together anymore. :)
As the prophecy states, the great mentok1982 will make his triumphant return at PAX Prime 2013! I look forward to seeing you all again!
Just wanted to say thanks, kropotkin, for doing the forum badges again this year. They looked great! I don't expect you to remember us, but my husband and I finally met you at board game night at the Westin (he was wearing a bow tie, if that helps). It was nice to finally put a face to the forum handle.
Kropotkin - I never saw you after the Pre PAX dinner to tell you that it would have been a ton of fun to give people multiple badges over the weekend. You know, since they hadn't read it.
Well done, as always, and thanks a million! And... Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Not too late to get one, just too late to get your name on it, as that closed the other day.

Yes, that's still the case (the blank spot on the front). I mean about having your name listed on the badge back. http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/comment/26056371/#Comment_26056371
Hmm... I seem to have misplaced my signature...
I will be present for training!

Somehow I missed that too.
Tattooing it on my arm tonight.

I mind.... =D
Vapok
Lovely.
Take it up with Customer Service. He filed the proper TPS reports in triplicate to get a pre-badge. Or did he...... :-)
Yeah, but I have a red stapler and a box of matches.

Don't worry. I already put strychnine in the guacamole.
