Why is there not any badges for watching Zero Punctuation?

[Zombie_Fish]

I don't understand why there are badges for watching any video.

As far as I can tell, the content badges were introduced to show people that this content was available on The Escapist to watch if people so wanted to, the badges were just introduced as a way of tempting people to go for this content. This would make giving out badges for Zero Punctuation pointless as it is one of the most popular shows on this site and doesn't really need any more popularity than it already has.

Because so many people watch it that it would take too much time trying to register more badges. On a side note registering everyone getting those badges would make the site lag and that's not good.

This.

Because having Zero Punctuations to watch is a reward enough.

Think about it, the ones that there are badges for get relatively low traffic. Badges are treated like achievements and there are many people on this site that want to get them. So if they see there is a badge for just watching a video, they are likely to at least go check out the series for the badge and stand a chance of sticking around if they find that they actually liked the video.

For example, I saw Apocalypse Lane on Newgrounds. I hated it. However, when I heard I could get a badge for watching the pilot episode over again, I did.

Lol.

Cause you're already expected to watch it, that's most likely why you're on this site :\

Well be fair. Everyone comes here just for yahtzee. So the badges are like incentives to actually try something else.
Not saying that ZP is better than the others as I personally prefer Moviebob (he needs his own section dammit!) and Unskip far more but you know what I mean.

Moviebob deserves his own badges.

Yeah, I agree, it's probably because it's usually the webseries that brings people to the Escapist.

Definitely. Lately Yahtzee's seemed in a slump, I've enjoyed MovieBob more in recent weeks.

I think they give badges to reward people for watching the lesser known series' that didn't bring plenty to the Escapist first...

I agree with that. Of course I'd have to go and watch them all again to get them, but I won't really be complaining much about that.

I watched about 7 episodes of Unskippable, looking for one that's actually funny. I failed. Now, my badges advertise the fact that I watched Unskippable. To me, they represent badges of shame.

And yet you have more than enough badges to not display your Unskippable ones, yet you choose to anyway.

Odd.

He doesn't have badges because that would be mainstream. You all know how yatzee feels about being mainstream.

Wait, you mean I can CHOOSE?!

Me either. I think badges should require you to do something.

I agree with that. Of course I'd have to go and watch them all again to get them, but I won't really be complaining much about that.

Not the case. I achieved my badges for Unskippable and some of the ones for Apocalypse Lane from watching episodes prior to the badges being made.
