I want to create an achievements system for the website similar to Steam / Xbox's popular achievements. The concept is the same: Do things to unlock medals, have the medals display on your /nexus profile. So here's the question... what achievements do you guys think would be cool? In the first reply I will keep a running list of thoughts. Some examples to get you started:

Bug Hunter: Find the /404 page.
Forumite: Click links to the forums x number of times.

Reserved post. Achievement ideas, no names are final:

Old Skool Resurgence: Obtain the high score on all classic games posted in the GN Arcade (which I am going to revamp in the next few months ;) )

Troll: Get ignored by 5 people.

TL;DR I: Write your first blog post.
-TL;DR II: Write 5 blog posts.
-TL;DR III: Write 15 blog posts.

Wall of Text I: Comment on an article.
-Wall of Text II: Comment on 20 articles.
-Wall of Text III: Comment on 100 articles.

Opinionated: Write a user review of a game / PC Build.

Genuinely Interested: Be the victim of interest; awarded for clicking an ad on the site.

I guess there should be some for writing articles/official reviews, post count, and sending in gaming news. I am still thinking about the names and such though.

Old Skool Resurgence sounds kinda impossible if you have to get the high score on everything, as soon as someone gets a really good score on one game pretty much no one would have a chance. Maybe just make it "play all classic games in GN Arcade"?

Also probably shouldn't have the troll one. Don't want to encourage them :roll:

Otherwise sounds good, as long as it isn't too hard to track these things.

Was asking for suggestions, not for criticism. I was just posting some basic ideas - we're developing the concept and design here, not the fine tuning.

That said - anyone have more suggestions for achievements? You done brainifying, bob?

Yeah, I know. I was just too lazy to think up any good ideas, and you were being all like SPACE POST ON FORUMZZZ. I'll post some ideas later.
