Right, I've finally got this up to date. Including those who've helped me out. Thanks! Incidently, can anybdy get me a link to the #210 PDF? My computer dislikes the idea and crashes, rendering me unable to attain the link! Much appreciation.
Escapist Forum Badges, to some of us, are the definition of glory. Some of us are proud to be collectors, some of us are in denial, and some of us just don't care. But for those of you who do, may this bring you the knowlege you need to achieve your goals!
If you want to discuss a particular badge or set of badges (if you don't find what you're looking for in this post!) then please post here, rather than flooding the Off-Topic forum with badge threads.
Please share any information unknown to this post or any suggestions you might have.

I just got the Invincible badge after about 50 wins in a row I think I'll have a recount tomorrow and post again and tell you so you can add it to the list as the requirement isn't there.
Edit: sorry said Unconquerable first time around lol.
But I'm fairly sure its about 50 in a row.
Right, I've finally got this up to date. Including those who've helped me out. Thanks! Incidently, can anybdy get me a link to the #210 PDF? My computer dislikes the idea and crashes, rendering me unable to attain the link! Much appreciation.
