Welcome to the Badge Usage, Reclamation, Discussion, Organization, and Creation Kiosk! This is the center for all things related to the Forum Badge system!

Badges are small icons located on your profile that signify that you have completed tasks worthy of recognition and serve as symbols of achievement for getting involved throughout the many areas and opportunities of Wintreath.

New and don’t know where to get started, or well-established and looking for something new? Check to see what badges you have yet to earn for plenty of ideas!

At the bottom of your profile page, a section displays all of the recent badges you have been awarded. Hover your cursor over each badge to show their names and descriptions. You can then click the “Show All Badges” button at the top-right of that section (or click the “Badges” button in the “Actions” section to the right) to show each badge you have been awarded as well as their names, descriptions, and when you were awarded them. Underneath this section, you will see a “Badge Opportunities” section, which lists all of the badges you have yet to be awarded (or check the spoiler below).

Currently, all badges will be awarded manually by Cabinet members. The Jarl of Culture will attempt to award badges to those who have earned them when he notices, but with so many forum members and badges, he will likely miss several through no fault but his own. He isn’t omniscient, no matter how he may claim to be! If you have completed the requirements for a badge but have yet to be awarded it, just post here, and someone will take care of it as soon as possible.

Have any comments, questions, concerns, or feedback on the forum badge system, or have ideas for future improvements or badges? Post here!

Brought to you by the Ministry of Culture and the Noble House of Burdock.

We've officially launched!

As per Gerrick's answer to my question on the announcements thread, I'll post the badges I believe I should hold below:

Also, some questions on some of the badges:

I Voted!
Vote in an Underhusen or World Assembly Delegate election.

So no referendums?

Partygoer
Participate in a festival in an allied region.

So festivals here in Wintreath don't count?

Giver
Donate $10 to support Wintreath!
Donor
Donate $25 to support Wintreath!
Benefactor
Donate $50 to support Wintreath!
Philanthropist
Donate $100 to support Wintreath!

Is this only for lump sum donations, or also include Patreon?

Recruitment Contest Winner
Win the monthly recruitment contest once.

Not a question, but we should probably start holding these again oh wait fuck I'm the Thane of Integration

Lawgiver
Propose a bill to the Underhusen that is passed into law.

Do you have to be a Skrifa to get the Lawgiver badge, or could a law that you originally proposed in the Citizen's Platform get you the badge? And do treaties count?

Diplomacy Victor
Win a regional game of Diplomacy.

Suggestion: also add "Diplomacy Survivor" because playing for draws and second-place are a thing. Also because nobody has the Victor badge currently.

So no referendums?

Hmm, yes I suppose it would make sense to add that.

So festivals here in Wintreath don't count?

No, festivals here will get unique badges like the contest we held this past one.

Is this only for lump sum donations, or also include Patreon?

This is total, so yes including Patreon. I just use the data from the donations page.

Not a question, but we should probably start holding these again oh wait fuck I'm the Thane of Integration

I've been holding them technically by announcing if someone gets over 1500. It's just pretty rare lately. Except for this month (I did ). You're definitely more than welcome to take over and promote it, though.

Do you have to be a Skrifa to get the Lawgiver badge, or could a law that you originally proposed in the Citizen's Platform get you the badge? And do treaties count?

Don't have to be a Skrifa, just have to propose a written up piece of legislation. Treaties I think would count.

Suggestion: also add "Diplomacy Survivor" because playing for draws and second-place are a thing. Also because nobody has the Victor badge currently.

My thought process was if you survived, then you were a winner. So I'd have given it to you, Hydra, and Elbbsas from last game. I doubted anyone would every outright win by themselves. But I can easily make that badge if you think that'd ever be a possibility.

So festivals here in Wintreath don't count?

No, festivals here will get unique badges like the contest we held this past one.

What about older festivals? (There's a few people active currently who've participated in, for example, Summersend 2016 and not 2017.)

I've been holding them technically by announcing if someone gets over 1500. It's just pretty rare lately. Except for this month (I did ). You're definitely more than welcome to take over and promote it, though.

Have you been holding them the whole time? I think there might have been a few months early on (after Wintermoot stopped doing them) where someone should've won but didn't.

Do you have to be a Skrifa to get the Lawgiver badge, or could a law that you originally proposed in the Citizen's Platform get you the badge? And do treaties count?

Don't have to be a Skrifa, just have to propose a written up piece of legislation. Treaties I think would count.

Aight then, requesting Lawgiver badge for co-writing the Covenant of Fellowship Between New Hyperion and Wintreath.

Hmm, you could easily edit the description of the Victor badge to clarify to include draws/surviving, and later add a "Solo Victor" badge if/when that does happen.

Ninja edit: looks like my badge notifications went off as I typed this post.
And wow, it took you 8 minutes just to do the badges for one person? I commend you for the work then! 

Edit: Also requesting "Diplomacy Victor" badge if that's how you're defining it

I think I may have hit 1500... in August July?? I... want... badge!

EDIT: I can't remember the month

I feel like, with how much work Gerrick is about to do on our behalf, we should all compile our lists ourselves of how much badges we each should get.

Is it possible to check recruitment stats from earlier months?

What about older festivals? (There's a few people active currently who've participated in, for example, Summersend 2016 and not 2017.)

If anyone wants to design graphics for the first two Summersend Festivals, then yeah I could add them.

Have you been holding them the whole time? I think there might have been a few months early on (after Wintermoot stopped doing them) where someone should've won but didn't.

I have, but the last time I saw anyone go above 1500 was back in May when Mathyland won. @Hydra did indeed get above 1000 one month, but I don't think he actually hit 1500. I gave him the silver reward if you check the Game Bag, but I probably forgot to announce it since he didn't technically win the contest. I very well could be wrong, though, so if @Wintermoot is somehow able to check previous months, then we could retroactively give him the reward for winning.

Hmm, you could easily edit the description of the Victor badge to clarify to include draws/surviving, and later add a "Solo Victor" badge if/when that does happen.

That should be easy enough. I'd just have to change the graphics should that happen, but that's simple to do.

I feel like, with how much work Gerrick is about to do on our behalf, we should all compile our lists ourselves of how much badges we each should get.

That'd be greatly appreciated, but I created the system, so I wouldn't expect everyone to do it. I didn't mean to make work for everyone.

I'll apply for these badges:

EDIT: My first two sessions in the UH were damn active, though. We got shit done, back then.

Hmm, you know how when you hover over a badge, it tells you which badge it is with the meta info? It doesn't do that with the Wintreath's Finest badges.

@taulover, you can definitely claim the badge for hosting a Werewolf game.
