What badges would YOU like to see on The Escapist?

[DoPo]

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

It's...pants for posting?

Heck, that would actually make for a good badge:

Yup!

I just have no clue what the badge would be given for. BUT I WANT IT!

Thank God For Jim

Truth, Pride, Garme Jurnalizm!

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

Yes. Yes, indeed. We need those. We need those and more.

You're a Winner!: Pulled the "You Win!" death from staika's avatar

I just did that and want a badge to prove it!

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.

It took me 5 or 6 attempts to get it so I wouldn't say it's necessarily easy.

Also, snail mail! You mean I put my words in an envelope and put them in this box and it gets across the country in 5-6 days by magic?

Iron Will - Watched God's Clown avatar for one minute straight and didn't go insane.

Not sure how you would gauge insanity levels or proof that they watched my avatar for longer than a minute, but since everyone goes insane within a minute anyways, nobody will ever get the badge. The first stage of insanity is always denying you are insane, so I refuse to believe anyone who tells me they survived a minute against my avatar.

I WIN. Now give me my badge

the paperbag: : not selected and avatar before two months after signing up, what are you hiding.

Steve Irwin: More than five post in the same R&P thread. some people never learn.

Get some help: watched more than 100 escapist videos in one day.

PLEASE LEAVE!: didn't use spoiler boxes and spoiled the ending to a game, movie or season finale of a show. shame on you

Chirping cricket award for threads that have less than 10 posts
Riding crop award for people who start another thread about a thoroughly deceased topic
If I only had a brain award for people who call another persons post 'strawman' - even if they're right. Enough already!

The problem with a MLP quiz is that it is unnecessarily hated on for daft reasons (although admittedly that has died down what with there being less MLP threads about), meaning half the people will be complaining going

"HURR DURR YOU MAED A QUIZ FOR THOSE FAGS!? RAGERAGERAGE!"

And then there's the people that love the show a bit too much. Imagine if they didn't get the character they wanted...

"HURR DURR! I'M CLEARLY TWILIGHT SPARKLE BUT U THINK I'M LIKE THAT *****, APPLEJACK?! RAWR I AM MAD!"

Well I think I summed up both the "haters" and the "too much love-rs" rather well there =D

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

I want those as well. I would include Sir Winston Q. Prick , Virgilo Armandio, and one for that Pirate Character in the early Jimquisition episodes.

Badge Collector Has more badges than s/he can count. Should probably put shoes back on; people are starting to complain.

Why does it have to be Jesus? As a non-christian, this irks me a bit. I'd avoid religion all together when it comes to badges.

Don't think of it as Jesus, just as a Jew with nice hair.

 

[thexodus]

If noone has brought it up yet, I'd like to ask for the Bacon Taco Badge (as referenced in Feed Dump).
I have no idea how to make it forum relevant, but I want it anyway.

And cool sunglasses I suppose that's one way of looking at it

I picked Jesus because:

1) He's probably the most widely known sinless or super-good person in Western Culture

2) It makes a logical progression from Neo being "the One".

Besides I'm an atheist myself, I just think it's funny to have a picture of Jesus wearing sunglasses ;-)

[EeveeElectro]

Since I really do like badges, and perhaps The Escapist's staff might actually use one of our ideas.. I may as well give it a go.
These are what I feel should be created, since they'd please just about everybody in here.

It's pants for posting on here
Yup!

Hahahahaha *snort* xD Really glad I read this after waking up this morning, made me burst out laughing and get out of bed.
I meant my phones a bit crap for posting in threads.

Trousers a-blaze
Would pretend to have a girlfriend just to earn a badge

Can't tell me you're in the badge hunter group because you enjoy their milkshakes!

Posted from a mobile phone.

Umm, not a good image for a badge when scaled down. The full one looks a bit better

Spoiler: this

and was the only one I found that had phones and trousers in it and wasn't just a phone in a pocket. Anyway, I'd expect the actual badge to have something vaguely similar - meaning featuring a phone and pants in some fashion (and not a phone in a pocket).
