I just had an idea for getting a trophy for being tagged a certain amount of times, but then people would just end up begging others to tag them... This is not easy...
Yeah, I would want:
> Suggestion implemented title.
> Contest won title.
> Giveaway title.
> Forum suggestion approved of. ((Think this already exists, don't know.))
yeah... its hard to come up with a trophy idea that isn't too easy to get and won't cause people to farm for, but also isn't nearly impossible for most members to get...An astounding number of trophy ideas end up just coming down to "I'll just farm for it". Very depressing, we spend over a month discussing ideas on the beta forum.
I rember discussing with Loki a while ago about us at the CC and those at the TTT getting special titles. If I remember correctly he said it would be a possibility, (although technically we already get the party girl title). What if like is for us to have two titles like some of the dev staff.
So that I'm not just suggesting something for a very exclusive group, what about one for making a popular mod? Something like that could work?
thought of this:
Wall of Flesh: permabanned from the forums.
If only we had some kind of built in download counter for the mod section.With mods, we would need clearly defined parameters as for what counts as a popular mod or not. Otherwise, we have to manually judge any mod maker that thinks they deserve one.
There isn't any single method I can think of to keep track of this . . . likes on initial post? Doesn't mean much, since maybe the initial post is pretty lackluster. Posts in thread? Could just mean a lot of discussion. How would want decide "what is" a popular mod?
Reread my earlier post:
- Nothing that involves breaking the rules or inconveniencing others.
We aren't rewarding misbehavior, ever. Nor are we trying to publicly shame people who break rules either.
If only we had some kind of built in download counter for the mod section.
I now see your trouble. You'd come up against opinions too.That wouldn't work either. A poor quality mod made by a big name, or that LOOKED good, might get thousands of downloads, while a perfectly solid mod that is fantastic might just never get a lot of notice.
I wouldn't count download total as a good gauge of quality.
The only title I'd have to semi-disagree with is the Skeleton Sniper. I mean, you must have done an excellent job getting that quantity of likes on a post, but it's kind of tying in with the whole 'not going to award people for likes or posts' deal. Other than that, the other titles seem reasonable.I'll just take a brain dump of sorts, I guess.
Skeleton Sniper: earn more than 100 likes on a single post. (Can this be automated?)
Man Eater: start a thread that gets more than 5000 views.
King Slime: Cenx or Redigit posts on a thread you started.
That may be so, but this isn't a title that can be farmed. I made sure of that much. It's parallel to The Destroyer/Retinazor, sorta.The only title I'd have to semi-disagree with is the Skeleton Sniper.
