,Nov 12 2010, 11:56:15 PM]We need an achievement system, with achievements relating to post count, bell amount, how long you've been here, giving bells, number of PMs sent, shoutbox/chat posts, how long you've been on, etc.

Or badges.

We don't need that crap. Achievements on a website is completely ridiculous.

Post count achievement:
Spamming all day, everyday.

Join date achievement:
Completely unfair to those new to the forum.

Giving Bells achievement:
HERE YOU GO ALTERNATE ACCOUNT, HAVE MY BELLS.
NO NO NO NO, TAKE IT BACK.
NO NO NO, I INSIST. x ∞

Number of PMs sent:
Everyone would send everyone PMs with the words "Hi", "Hello", and random letters.

Shoutbox/chat posts:
See post count section.

Activity achievement:
Put weight on F5 and you're gold.

Stop trying to make TBT like GPX... Stop getting ideas from there.

It's not when you join, it's how long you've existed on TBT. For example, if the achievement is for being on TBT for a year, then I'd get it because I've been on TBT for at least one year.

For the giving bells one......huh, you're right.

The PMs one...you're right again.

You're definitely right on the shoutbox one.

And you're right on pretty much all the rest.

I need ideas for achievements that you can't cheat on.

 

[Princess]

Don't add 'achievements'. I think we're fine with those trophies you get when you win a contest.

The "Highest Amount of Times One Has Crushed Nook's Dreams" award

HATOHCND.

I dig it.

 

[crazyredd45]

you could have more official trophies

like trophies that actually go in a certain section

 

[Bacon Boy]

I just think we should have contests. This isn't a video game. Achievements would serve no purpose and it would bring about fights about "I has more achievements than youz!" fights. Though, TBT has never really been known for rank fights, I can't see this helping. Again, we should just have contests. Then each winner gets a trophy added to their profile (automatically) that states when they won the contest and what place they received.

Like back at VR, we could have a posting contest in Brewster's. The one with the most posts in said topic would win. There'd be a first, second, and third place.Though, the restrictions would be no double+ posting, no spamming, etc. Just an idea.

@Aaron: I'm probably overestimating TBT's maturity, but do you think members here are really that much'a morons to do stuff like that?

yes.

I have to second that.

I'm not picking up on what you're saying. Contests as in AC:CF contests? Hardly any one plays it any more, well maybe more when AC: 3DS comes out.

Did you read what I said?

Something like a posting contest cannot be done in a video game.

I doubt that people will start fights over these achievement thingers, but I agree that the idea is stupid and unnecessary. I would like to see some sort of trophy case for various contests/random things in the profile, though. If possible.

 

[Jake]

I'd like more contests, too. Also, will there be any new boards? And will members be E-mailed before the move like for TBT's 5th Birthday Bash?

This.

Maybe a spriting contest.

 

[Pear]

I don't like the idea of achievements.

I dunno, if Jeremy advertises over YouTube again, I could easily see that happening.

I wouldn't mind Achievements/Trophies so long as they were stupid things.
