If you were handed over the task of creating the badges on The Escapist, what would you make?
Don't forget to add what they would be reward for, unless it's just a silly badge because you fancy being the next Kross.
Here's some crappy examples I knocked up because I have far too much spare time. Make up your own, if you too need a new hobby!

More cat badges. We could always use more cat badges!

Masochist: Posted in R&P and lived to tell about it.

Daystar Acolyte: Derailed 10 threads.

Everybody Gets One: Create a thread topic about Mass Effect 3's Ending.

Inb4 MLP:FiM badges (from taking a "Which MLP:FiM characters are you?" quiz).

Other than that I suppose getting a badge from the amount of comments you made in each section of the forum like a badge for a hundred comments in the off-topic and the same goes to Gaming althought it should be less (like ten) for the user reviews, politic and religion and advices althought maybe Role playing should get one (it would end so many role played stories).

In saying so Role played should still get its own badge for participating a role play story.

I would extend some of the existing badge levels to a higher level for our most dedicated users:

The Daddy
Awarded for exceptional services to villainy

I think a better badge would be "Has NOT created a thread on Mass Effect 3's ending" or even one on EA being the devil.

OT: I actually turned badges off I believe as I don't see them. I wish that option was on another forum I was on as I just don't give a hoot about ranks or merit badges.

Had a permaban repealed
BUt I have neo and I had a strike a while back, you just have to behave yourself until your warnings expire.

OT Hmmmm... Well badges for Injustice League and Brovengers members would be cool.

I'd also like FUN POLICE badges, but to get those we have to sacrifice Daystar to TimeLord and that requires some planning...

Haha! Some really good ideas. PAY US ALL THE MONEY FOR OUR IDEAS IF YOU USE THEM, ESCAPIST STAFF~

I'll have a sleep and try think up some more in the morning.

Keep Calm and Carry On
Managed a full health bar reset after a suspension.
But if we have a "Keep Calm and Carry On," then we also need something that's wordplay based on it, like "Keep Calm and Bergeron," but I have no idea what that would be a badge for.

You're a Winner!: Pulled the "You Win!" death from staika's avatar
I just did that and want a badge to prove it! :D
You will receive your badge by mail in 10 years time, snail mail is that quick!

People seem to be getting that death too easily, I must go back and only make it appear for only 1 millisecond, that way it should be harder to get.

These are some good ideas. I can only think of two right now.

I <3 CAPTCHA: completed 10 CAPTCHAs in one day
I Created An Avatar: send in avatar ideas to the Escapist and have one published

How did you make the badge images?
Quote my OP and it'll give you the codes to do it. Where my link is, replace it with your image link (host it on something like Photobucket).

I'd explain it better but I'm in bed on my phone and it's pants for posting on here ;(

This thread has given me a few ideas for badges:

* created a monster: a user who quoted you got suspended or banned for their post
* you monster your reply to another user's comment has earned you a suspension or a permaban
* curtain call[footnote]this one would be for the users who create sheets and act as the players in a RP. The one below this would be for the thread creator[/footnote]: actively participated in a role-play thread from the beginning until its completion
* director created and led a role-play thread until its completion
* mediator attempted to keep the peace in a dispute between two arguing users in a thread

Thank God For Jim

Polygons = Emotions

Truth, Pride, Garme Jurnalizm!

All three would be for watching "X" episodes of The Jimquisition, of course.
