Great Job again Kropotkin! I have been getting the badges each year lately but this time I haven't been online lately due to working so many hours since the holidays. Pax East is what I look forward to and the forum badge always bring a smile to my face. If it's not too late to add me again this year, if your still customizing the back with our forum names, I greatly appreciate it. Thanks again and as always, see you all at Pax.
@InfiniteNuLL Yes they will be at the BYOC. If you pick them up from there you will have to answer a question to prove that you are a forum member. Speaking of which, here are the questions:
1) Name ONE unofficial PAX East community event/activity:
3) Do Mike and Jerry read the Penny Arcade forums?
No
4) Name/Handle of a PAX Forum Moderator?
zerzhul
5) What is the theme for the PAX East 2016 forum badge?
Free to Wear/Play
6) What is the In Badge Currency of the Free to Wear forum badge?
Power Crystals
7) What is written above the PAX Community crest?
Welcome Home
8) There is a group of PAX attendees that give out crunchy and sweet foodstuffs and takes voluntary donations for the Childsplay charity during PAX. What is this group called?
The Cookie Brigade
9) According to the forums, it is a general rule that PAX is most definitely not, under any circumstances a BLANK service. What is the 'blank'?
Dating
10) Name the four colours in the shield of the PAX community crest?
Never need to sign up to get one The names are on the back already, but having your name on the back is not a requirement for getting one for yourself.
Forum badges will be/are at the BYOC desk as of 12:00pm today (22nd) for collection. Remember, you'll have to answer a question from the ones listed in order to get a badge in order to prove you are an active member of the forum community.
Dunno if it was because it was red, but this year at least half a dozen booth-runners thought I was someone important because of the Forum Badge. "What makes YOU so special?" they'd ask, eyeing it with wonder. I wish I had made something up about how I'm a twitch celebrity or the heir to an obscure European duchy or something, but many of the developers seemed at least a little impressed that people of the PA forums organized badges for themselves every year.
Well that's blown me away. The badges are very large so that people see them. For a developer to ponder the ramifications of how it came to be is fairly typical for a creative sort. They know the effort it takes to make anything, so to see something developed by a community probably made them ponder a bit. This story makes me a happy person, thanks for sharing it @ilta
Thanks for making them again @kropotkin . Picked mine up on Saturday but I wore it proudly all PAX long. Thought it was great as always. I almost managed to actually meet you this time too. Punzie pointed out the direction you went off in at Pre-PAX board game night but I couldn't actually locate you. You've bypassed me again!!!!

I'm okay imagining a bowler wearing dragon holding a Canadian flag.
