List of Possible Forum Badges

I think flashing mario might be annoying as you scroll past it...

I agree. I find anything flashing/moving on a page of still text really irritating

[Lord Libidan]

So, with flashing and moving images out the window, we kinda have three options.

1 - Additions to the current list to incorporate new levels

Spoiler

Rank 0 0 Small Fry
Rank 1 10 Little Mario
Rank 2 25 Big Mario
Rank 3 50 Fire Mario
Rank 4 100 Raccoon Mario
Rank 5 150 Frog Mario
Rank 6 250 Hammer Mario
Rank 7 360 Tanooki Mario
Rank 8 500 STATUE MARIO
Rank 9 750 KURIBU MARIO
Rank 10 1000 INVINCIBLE MARIO
Rank 11 1500 Old School Member
Rank 12 2000 + Retro Member

2 - Total restructuring. But still arranged around the original levels

Spoiler

Rank 0 0 Little Mario
Rank 1 10 Big Mario
Rank 2 25 Fire Mario
Rank 3 50 Super Mario
Rank 4 100 Raccoon Mario
Rank 5 150 Frog Mario
Rank 6 250 Invincible Mario
Rank 7 360 Tanooki Mario
Rank 8 500 Statue Mario
Rank 9 750 Kuribu Mario
Rank 10 1000 Hammer Mario
Rank 11 1500 Cape Mario
Rank 12 2000 Starman Mario
Rank 13 3000+ Ballon Mario

3 - Change the list completely, and name them something new. Different characters, maybe just names like 'old school member' 'retro gamer', etc.

Spoiler

Rank 0 0 Little Mario
Rank 1 10 Big Mario
Rank 2 25 Zelda
Rank 3 50 Pokemon Ash
Rank 4 100 Megaman
Rank 5 150 Sonic
Rank 6 250 Pacman
Rank 7 360
Rank 8 500
Rank 9 750
Rank 10 1000
Rank 11 1500
Rank 12 2000 + Black Mage

What does everyone think? After we know which style list we want, we'll get johloh on side.

I'd vote for 3. Not because of the super 2000+ rank, but because I like the idea of mixing up the sprites!

[LinkIsMyHomeboy]

I like the third option because of the mixup of game characters, but I do have one suggestion to offer. Maybe at the 2000+ level, we get to pick our own character? It could still say "retro member" or whatever, but that way it would reflect us and be sort of a reward for how long we've been here and how much we've participated.

Not possible I'm afraid. The rank image can only support the one image.
Nice idea though. I do like the idea of giving back...

[monkeypeaches]

I like the 3rd option of having a variety of video game sprites! Also, I'm still a little confused on the various pattern maker badges.....can anyone elaborate? For instance, I have made about 4 requested patterns, and posted one of my own patterns to the general patterns forum as well. All of them are posted as PDFs. Do I get credit for all 5 of them toward the PDF maker badge, and also toward the Pattern Maker one? Or is there a distinction between pattern requests and non-requests? Hope that made sense

Oh. Darn. Too bad. I still like the third option best and I'd be fine with a Black Mage

[blackmageheart]

Yes, you do!

and also toward the Pattern Maker one?

It's still based on requests, isn't it? I do think it should be all patterns though. Once the wiki has been caught up, we'll be able to see much better who needs what badge. Please bear with us just a while!

I'd be fine with a Black Mage

Who wouldn't be?

[monkeypeaches]

Thanks for the breakdown BMH!

Now what about turning someone elses .sth pattern that they post to the Pattern board into a pdf (if they didn't post it as a pdf), does that count towards the PDF maker badge?

Yes - it's just harder to keep track of
