The Escapist Contributor. More for the ability to say that I've written an article here than for the badge itself.

I would like to earn some of the secret ones but they're"Awarded for meeting top secret requirements" and I don't know them. Also, does anyone really give them out anymore?
Seems like an older relic

The paragon badge from the Fable 2 quiz.
I don't know why, I just always like the look of it. Plus I already has the whole "goody-two shoes" thing goes on. So it would make a nice addition.
Also if we include our own badge ideas.
I'd like to have one called "Basement Overlord."
It's funny because it isn't just a reference on this site, it is a personal reference as well.

I had some trouble reading the first couple of lines there. Could you reword that for those of us with partial hangovers?
OT: I don't really think there are any. They're just a nice little thing the techs put together for the users. I wonder if they'll add another row under avatars for them, time permitting. I enjoy doing the quizzes and collecting 'em, 'cos it's a great way to pass the time when I'm bored, but weirdly enough I think they may actually be going to some people's heads. There's such a thing as having too much pride in bits of neat graphic art; they're pretty cool and they make the pages nicer to look at, but they're not status symbols.
If you really want a unique badge, you can always make your own, like so:

Fantastic
"They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard."
I know you're not meant to say if you have them, unfortunately, and those who give the badges presumably have the power to take them away.PsychicTaco115 said:

I can understand that part but who's still checking to see if people DO meet the requirements?Barbas said:
Some of the unobtainable badges like some of the old holiday ones, or ones from quizzes or events that were only active for a limited time. Also some of what I like to call the Bullshit Badges. You know, the ones that have some cockamamie secret requirement that only a handful of people know or the ones that require you to go way the hell out of your way to get because no one is allowed to tell you how to get it for risk being banned or something equally retarded.(looking at you Beard Badge)
None, badges are pointless and if you 'want' any of them you are only being manipulated into chasing after shiny baubles. I've got them disabled, and my forum browsing experience is much improved without the screen clutter.
Any pony-related badge...The second pencil badge...The third flame badge...The PSN badge...A badge I contribute to making, kinda...Extra Credit badges...Those were the ones I could think of off the top of my head during my insomnia hours...
Just the OMG Pony!!1 and the spotlight community badges. Oh and that other badge that is similar to the "On fire" but it's like 1,000- 10,000 comments!
Yes, that badge too. Would be pretty awesome. And thanks!Zombie_Fish said:
Yeah, after looking through that above posted list, I definitely got some envy here for that badge and then some...StormShaun said:

But ah well. I got my Extra Credits badge and I love it so I'm happy in the end. Also magic. We need more magic themed badges.
I don't really care for them either. Since you can't hide the widget, I'd like the number and letter badges so I could have foul words under my avatar.
edit: 5001 what?
The first rule of the secret badge club is you don't talk about the secret badge club.Barbas said:

Beard Badge. That's about it. Everything else is kinda meh. Except maybe more badges that show letters or numbers to spell whatever.
There's quite a few of those I was just too lazy to grab when they came around.

With cooperation, we can get you the pencil and fire ones easily enough. It's just a matter of time on those.FPLOON said:
You mean the Halloween ones that spelled "FREAK"? They had some little orange badges that went with them, but I believe that as of Halloween this year they are no longer obtainable.1981 said:
If you give me your spin badge I swear I will go outside right now and plant a small tree in your honour.Barbas said:
As for an extra line of badges, I don't think I'd be behind that, I might think that too many badges could dilute any humor.

OT: I'd like Barbas' spinning button badge.
EDIT: EGADS I got the spinning button badge how the heck did that happen
I kinda wish I had the rest of the Extra Credits badges - it's a shame I missed some of those. Other than that, I just want them all. There's not many I don't have and I think the majority of those are no longer available (and many of the rest require more effort than I'm willing to put in).
Really I just want 999 badges so I can make Mud do some work. 150-ish to go!
