Site Achievements
« on: April 07, 2014, 10:48:49 pm »
I was reading the Collection Achievement thread where people were posting about franchise completion status and so one. That got me thinking about having site achievements! Seems like it could integrate into the badge system nicely. Obviously this is not a very critical or needed feature but I thought it would be fun to have at some point in the future. It could also keep the community active and help people learn to utilize all the features of the site.

There's always milestone achievements like 50, 100 NES games in collection and so on (kind of the like the Edit badges right now).
Here's a few that I thought up. Feel free to post your own!

Dream Weaver: Entry you created is in 5 Wish Lists.
Don't Copy that Floppy: Have 5 Unofficial or Homebrew games in your collection.
Phone Home: Remove Atari 2600 game ET from your collection.
Wish-a-Pawn-a-Star: Someone contacts you about an item in your Sell list that is in their Wish List.
BEEP BEEP BEEP: Own a Game & Watch.
Gift for Gab: Make over 1000 forums posts (not to be confused with threads).
Got to catch 'em all: Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow are in your collection, complete in box.
Swagga: Add over 100 Swag items to your collection.
Domo Arigato: Added a Japanese console to collection.
Addict: Log into the site 10 times in one day.
Stalker: Follow 10 or more users.
Mr. Popular: Have 10 or more followers.
If You Build It: Entry you created is in 20 collections.

I think that it'd bve really cool if Matt would come up with a bunch of *Unknown* badges/milestones.

Like *Nobody* would know what the criteria for getting them would be (could be anything related to posting, collections, site activity, contributions, dupes, and even some really obscure shit like "Posted @ 1111AM/PM on 11/11" kinds of things -and- users would be pleasantly surprised as they earn these badges...thus giving other members more interest in doing/trying different things to stumble upon these.

I think it'd be a Win/Win with making members happy & excited while certainly keeping participation & involvement up  ;D
