I'd be cool if you could acquire badges through some other ways. I think it's one of BotB coolest feature, and a great way to encourage people participating more.

So I've got two badge ideas to share:

1. Completionist badges.

I think it's crazy some people manage to submit in all formats in winter or summer chip. Let's give them a badge to mark that they did!

It probably would only be a feature for battles with a significant amount of categories/formats like summer chip, winter chip, spring tracks and advent calendar. Let's say 7+ categories.

Example:

٩(◕‿◕)۶ Spring Tracks XII Completionist

2. Criticist completionist badges

It's clear voting should be more popular. One way to push for it would be to have some sort of badge if you vote on all entries in a big major.

I recognize voting is not as much work and can feel less of an achievement, but when the number of entries reach 3 digits, it's no small task to go through them all.

This badge would probably also need a threshold of some sort for it to be acquirable. 100+ entries in the battle could do it.

EDIT: Since many people could get it in a major, maybe it should behave more like tincans, and be visible only on the user profile.

Example:

(⌐■_■) Winter Chip IX Criticist

Writing this, I can already think of some flaws for the criticist badge where people could vote randomly quickly just to get it. Similar thing could happen with the first one if one were to make "completionistsave" entries. But still, maybe there's a way around that?

What do you think? What are other badges we could have? Kleeder needs MOAR I'm sure!

Neat idea, maybe they can be trophies instead because what if I'm allergic to badges

funute you have two badges as well. one for mighty and one for ascended.
i think these are "status badges" and not "format badges", so youre fine.

the completionist badge already has an equivalent here: https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/The+Hall+of+Completionists/
where chipchamp has defined it as an achievement as soon as a major battle has 6+ formats.

the voting completionism badge being more like a trophy is kinda cool to me as well, having a "votin-can"... lol,, or multiple for repeating completionsm

tbf i wld be voting a ton more if at the end of it i got a big can with the word "VORT" on it. my brain is gamification addicted

i think it would be cool to have voter completion as a modifier to your overall entry points for a major, like a 1.1x or something

but trophies are visual and nice too. Icons are a strangely powerful motivator in lieu of any other bonus

I see I confused trophies for badges... either way, more shinies is what I want!

Didn't know about the Hall of Completionists, that's cool too.
