Err... Vinum is the singularis for "wine", so I guess the pluralis would be "Vini"...?

I'm guessing they simply misspelled it when they made the badge.

I have been awarded Berseker, but I can honestly say I don't know why. I've been told some of the ideas I've been referenced that I can rule out though:

- Defeating someone from each genre in a row
- Actually that's it.

However, being that I've awarded it, I can tell you some of the things that it MIGHT be:

- Defeating the same person several times
- Defeating an army worth a hell of a lot more than yours
- Defeating an enemy using only one type of unit
- Defeating an enemy but only attacking types you are weak against
- Begging John Funk on penalty of death

Just quoting you to get your attention. The description for "Unconquerable" has recently changed (within the last 12 hours). The original one was "Has won more than 10 battles consecutively". The thing is, when they changed it to what it is now, they may have also changed what needs to be done to get it. On that basis, Do you know if you were awarded the badge before or after the change?

Secondly I've, also within the last 12 hours, earned the Berserker badge. See above for details.

I got mine, seemingly after the change, but I think it's for the same reason.

At one point, I went on an absolute massacre and spent 4 glorious hours in the top 10 on the Genre Wars leaderboard.

Maybe that's the reason?

Well the only time that I've been in the top ten, is during the first several hours of the games launch :p

EDIT: Also, judging by what you said, I think the description I have in the OP is the correct one. And that is, the original description that came with the badge. But the fact that that guy has it without even winning that many matches throws me into confusion.

Well then, do you have the badge?

EDIT: Yes you do. Well, it could be one out of those two anyway; I have no idea.

But I think your one is right.

EDIT AGAIN: Can you see my edit? Because it doesn't seem to appear on my browser, but it does on the Edit screen.

Possible issue I should take up with the staff?

Aye, I do. But I've just come up with a theory. Maybe the reason for them changing it, was related to the fact that it had an error being handed out. If you look at the latest update:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/376.107238

It says "Awarded win streak badges for those that should have received them". So alot of people will have "earned" it in the past, but not been given it. So when they were all handed it at the same time, they all got confused as to what the reason was.

Oh, that's right. I mentioned on the Bugs/Issues thread that I hadn't recieved the Resilient Badge, when I had one more than 10 battles in a row.

They probably saw that and gave both to me. Problem solved, I suppose.

In that case, I'm gonna' tell em' I've beaten everyone on the list. See if I get a "OMFG U PWN" badge.

Eh. It could happen.

I don't see how Nivag's theory (I'm not saying it's wrong) of defeating the same person 11 times in a row works, as the tagline "KHAN" wouldn't really make much sense.

My 'quoted' messages appear to be glitching. Hmm.

If they were Chargers my theory gains steam.
I got one you might be able to add to your list, though.

-Attack all three of the enemy stacks with one unit

I don't understand that badge either.

It's the 17th over here, and it has been for over 15 hours.

Is America that far backwards?

It's 10:30 PM on Thursday the 16th. And, actually, you guys are ahead over there. But in New York - Mississippi in the U.S. it's after midnight. California rules.

How soon are badges awarded after earning them? I thought of your number four theory myself, and decided to test it. I finally (finally) managed to complete both 3 and 4 (defeated an opponent's Tricksters using only a single stack of Chargers), so...

Well all the Genre Wars badges are supposed to be instant and if they're not, it's a bug. I didn't get mine instantly but I think they noticed that and fixed the bug as the update page says that badge's hand-out bug has been fixed.

I've never been a Star Trek fan so it's up to you to tell us what it most likely is. The thing is, the badges also usually reflect their titles and image. Is there anyway the Star Trek episode could be related to "Berserker" and an axe + mace?

I was wondering that; you see, I thought that you guys would only be a maximum of 12 hours behind.

But then i remembered that California is a day and a bit behind because of its standing on the International Date Line.
