So I know they are already kind of apart of the community but they're unused. If you don't know what I'm getting at (http://gyazo.com/24d9c8a5bb20b24b36ac64f0a710b383). Those are in ways flares but they are mostly unused, maybe the SG/HG rank should take over the PvP slot? But the last thing I was thinking was a badge system, where you can try to collect them for doing various things in the community other then just posting to the fourms. Like doing things in game like getting all the acivements? Or 'Mayor' of a town with 10+ people stuff like that.

Yes, just yes. I think badges

Yes, just yes.

 

I think badges for doing things in the community is such a good idea.

Mmhmm...

I vote yes!

This sounds awesome. It wouldnt necessarily be "staff" but more of an active and prestigous member type thing.

I think it'd be cool to have an awards system for users who've done stuff in the community. If we did (hypothetically) implement some system like that, what awards would you guys like to see?

I agree with fish's idea, the mayor one. Maybe one for building something nice on the server? Maybe called builder or something? Contributing to spawn could be one.

 

See, i'd like to say I had more stuff to suggest, but no.

Yeah there are tons of of things you could do this with, it's open ended! Thats whats so great about it!

But @Sonardo a way to gain a /warp would be getting that 'badge' since there is not much other way to reward people for achiveing that.
But other type of badges could be based off how long you've been in the community, you could also even do badges based on the karma on your posts like "Good poster" and such. But can't really think of too many on the spot but hey thats what the community is for eh?

Ideas that come to mind for me are:

  • Popular community members
  • Long-time community members
  • Contest winners
  • Players with a track record of being helpful
  • Players with large amounts of money on the server(?)
  • PvP winners?

I reckon we could probably fit little coloured things under the little bar thingy that you see under your forum title.

But how would popular members

But how would popular members be decided? If people look up to them, or if they make popular builds, or if they are just a very well known player?

Probably players that are well-loved and notable for their kindness.

Well as 'popular' I think of it as he/she knows everyone. But not just knowing everyone being nice and never causing any problems?
Another one that recently came to mind was "Designer" (The people who design skins)?

A badge system doesn't sound

A badge system doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. But only if they're completely useless other then to look cool

Badges would be great

Some idea for badges:

hours logged on server

length of World of Minecraft membership.

traveling really far from spawn.

killing x number of each mob

Add a command like /helpful so after X number you get a badge

number of blocks placed

/epic or something to vote someone's build as amazing. X votes for a badge

number of diamonds collected

pvp kills/wins

most money/over X amount

could do levels for each badge (bronze, silver, gold)

I read somewhere jobs may be coming back

so "Worker" might be a good badge after a certain amount of jobs have been completed

Edit: "Fisherman"after certain amt of Fish caught

Edit2: Oh :/

I don't think we'll be able to track that. We need to be able to track certain statistics in order to give out badges like that. Anything from the Statistics window from Minecraft will work, as those are all saved server-side in 1.7

hmm

I always thought the the profile page looked a little sparse. Also, since achievments are per server and server wide you could ave badges for people who have completed  everything?

Well if they are implemented they should be based off the 1.7 map and not previous maps. Also if any support from mods/admins to get the badges shouldn't be allowed.
Edit: @Kaylah Do you think linking "how to on throwing knifes" is something to link in a family friendly community?

Ahh realms, I remember the days :')

 

Also, how about a badge that is given by a vote somewhere on a good build? Like 100 votes gets you the badge. I don't know, just a thought

The voting would be a bit weird and I could see people not giving enough care to go vote.

Is this possible?

Would it be possible to get these badges in-game? If I do get one, i think it'd be cool to stick it on my house or something :P

Ideas

Maybe for some badges...

Noob: Join the server

Runner: Run 10k blocks

Builder: Place 300 blocks

Miner: Mine 100 blocks

Crafter: Craft 100 things.

Maybe these could be like achivements and broadcasted in chat and yhou get an item?

You could give named items to the people for badges? Something with no use to people but could be a nice badge saying look at my badge collection!

Well, if we're having all these badges, maybe we would want some sort of a webpage for each player that showed all the badges earned?

But if we get all these different badges added, they won't all fit in the space where the current badges are.

This is true but there is many ways to go about it. Maybe your top badges show? Or your most recent ones.
