Okay, that´s fine. Jolly good.

Sounds easy being in charge of things. Almost makes me wish I had lackeys.
Yeah...but it´s nice to hear this thread will live on, as a warehouse, or maybe a museum. Ooh, we should hire a tour guide: "And on our right, ladies and gentlemen, we can see the coveted Pony badge, which was given only to ones deemed worthy. It was lost during the Great Pony War, but reappeared again half a decade (The Escapist Chronology) later, under mysterious circumstances."

...Nah! It probably wouldn´t work.
I would love to take the Thanks Badge tour! When does the next one start?

Let´s see...Previous tour was tomorrow, and the one before that will be two weeks ago. So the next tour will be held approximately sometime later. While you´re waiting, please have a look at our Bamalam! Badge brochure:

This famous ornamental jewel, designed by a person pretending to be Carl Fabergé III, was presented to the Queen of Nova Scotia by Czar Ivan The Actually-A-Pretty-Nice-Chap. The Dancing Cat depicted in the jewel symbolizes a common domestic feline, which can often be found tearing the Queen´s favourite couch and scattering dead mice all over the house. The jewel itself was originally mounted in the center piece of a magnificent golden triptych encrusted with rainbow stones, moon crystals and fine Jovian diamond powder, but the Czar couldn´t afford the whole set, so he bought only the jewel. It is also said that in Western Faraway people constantly sling mud at each other for no apparent reason...

...A few words about the Cookie Badge: Om nom nom!

This brochure has nothing more to say. You can go home now.

Just wanted to point this out; apologies in advance if this seems like necroing, but while looking in the Quizzes section, I happened to notice that right now, there are 17 quizzes.

As of right now, there are two badges related to quizzes, Cinco de Quizo (take 5 quizzes) and Decathaquiz (take 10 quizzes). This is just speculation, but I'd be willing to bet that as soon as three more are added, there'll be a badge for taking 20 quizzes.

It may seem unlikely that they'd make yet another quiz-related badge, but I also noticed that the Cinco de Quizo badge has a bronze-ish color, whereas Decathaquiz is silver-ish. Perhaps a 'gold' one is coming?

Based on this, I think it's pretty likely we'll see a new badge soon, recieved for taking 20 quizzes, that will have a gold-ish color. Hope this helps. :)
I knew it!

Two months ago I pre-visioned it! I said them very words, "gold" and "quiz badge!" [/increasingly obscure movie reference] :p

But seriously, we're getting practically deluged with new badges lately, are we not?

First the badges for joining groups, then the badges for watching Escapist videos...for my next prediction, I'd say it's pretty likely Zero Punctuation video badges are coming very soon. Why would we have Unskippable badges but not ZP badges, after all?

I know, the amount of updating has been just painful. Luckily I hired a team though and they've certainly helped out a great deal.

Even amidst the chaos you managed to find enough time to make a pretty neat banner for the original post, I see. Looks damn great.

Folks, thought you might want to know that it is, for the time being, imposible to obtain the On a Role badge due to the RP Digest being cancelled.

Here's the quote for you:

Susan Arendt said:
Well, folks, today will mark the final installment of RP Digest, at least for the time being. We only received two submissions this past week, so it just isn't catching on the way we had hoped.

I'm open to suggestions as to how we might revive or improve RPD.

Ah thanks Sparrow, pretty handy info. Not sure wether to list 'On a Role' as temporarily unavailable or move it to expired though :/

Haha thanks. It didn't take too long. Although saying that, I spent longer making one that I eneded up not using. But, meh, it looks ok how it is.

You think? Well then, the idea is freely at your disposal. I was thinking about asking the staff members, like [user]Kuliani[/user], to tell us something about the badges and their birth. From the information they might provide, we, the community, would then compile a sort of semi-factual chronicle.
Or something like that.

There's currently no new date planned, it might even take a couple of weeks.

There is going to maybe going to be another beta but I don't know if they are giving the badge away since its expired.

I watched all the escapist show episodes and got DDKR champion. That badge is either for a specific episode or several. Since there are a lot of episodes with a DDKR ending its hard to say.

Yup that's what we've been thinking too. There's definitely several DDKR references so it's more than one episode. We're currently researching which specific episodes need to be watched.

Question about the "Real Ultimate Poster badge"

Is it timelocked? By that i mean after a certain peroid is it unnattainable? Or do i have to wait for the (6 months?) after i join, then am awarded it?
There's no maximum time limit. You just have to have been a member for at least 6 months before you are eligible to obtain it.
