Re: Badge System Rework (WIP) [OPEN DISCUSSION]
I don't know what the hell you really expected in here, Zenith -- you go around the forums on occasion, boasting about these super secret projects that you're working on that are going to benefit the community, and then when you finally unveil something, it's nothing more than a blank sheet telling the community to come up with ideas.
Just because you have something that is intended to be for the community doesn't mean you get to toot your horn about something awesome and then present almost nothing -- it's barely even an acceptable proof of concept for something that you've been talking about for some time. In order for any sort of ideas to come into fruition with reasonable consideration, you need to at least put forth something that indicates that you have a path to pave forward.
The categories that you have put forth are completely useless in their own right and are not even worth shooting for: the community itself is too small to appreciate any sort of functional change that you're suggesting here, and your idea is certainly not going to increase the number of users that come to the site on its own. You don't explain the concept of "social status", which already sounds like a bad idea. You don't clarify the "content creation", nor do you make any sort of effort to try to segregate the content creation; two obtainable titles certainly have separated difficulty in that one would more than likely produce a simfile than a song, and putting those on the same level is ridiculous.
You don't qualify a user event, or the effort required to achieve a badge for the such, and that alone goes to show that it's a bad idea: a half-assed event does not deserve to be accredited in the same way as someone who hosts a very successful, multi-division tournament with everything done on time. TWG is a community game that is outside of the scope of FFR and should not be rewarded as an achievement, especially given the type of environment the game fosters; this is not a negative thing towards TWG, but a negative point towards the lack of effort and sight put forth in this idea.
The second half of your post, the "subcategories", don't even explain what they are subcategories of - in fact, they simply look to be a piece of the tournament/division achievements, which again, is simply not clarified. To me, this post looks like a pile of gibberish and nothing more - it's data with no information.
EDIT: also, i'm honestly not fazed by the fact that you have some sort of informational spreadsheet, because if it was of any sort of relevance or supplemental in any sort of way, it'd have been posted by now, and opting out of showing that really doesn't help your case at all
