The watercooler: a place to chat

But here's the big question. How has no one gotten a Promoter badge?! The one where you invite an outside person to join the forums?

I see that you can look at a list of who got badges. Some of those badges seem next to impossible to reach xD

That's what I said...some of them aren't even possible. I have tried to do some of them...they don't even work.

Others....no idea how 2 people got 50 likes on a reply.

Yeah...In particular I think that Leader badge means you have to become a mod or something. There's no way that one is achievable any other way.

Kind of makes me scratch my head why they even exist. Like some weird thought that forums would become relevant again if the users were rewarded or something.

I dunno man literally all of my badges were achieved via accident. If I actively tried to seek out all of the badges, I'd lose what little sanity I have left 🤣

It is really not that hard... You just do something you're already doing, like post something ... Then numbers accrue.

[Kiweevil]

You overestimate just how little sanity I have left

I have YouTube-related PTSD flashbacks from this comment

Multi-badge?

Nothing beats the sense of pride when you get them all

Why exactly @33rdCenturyCaveman was banned? What kind of "piracy" was it?

[Kelheor]

I really wonder too...

Probably because of that rewrite of someone else's novel he posted, it was called Worm or something like that. Although it had a warning in the description, indicating it was another author's work that he adapted.

edit:

This was the novel linked in his Tapas work: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/

I haven't read it, just skimmed over the description.

Oh, that's how it is D:

[doriantorres112]

oh wow, no wonder he's been less active. i thought it was an issue he had deal to irl but this is something i'd never thought of.

[doriantorres112]

anyways, how's everyone doing? i've been stuck in my own home for two months due to quarantine but that's how my summer always looks like.

I'm somewhere in the middle of "look at me, being all productive!" and "I just want to lie in my bed whole day long doing nothing"

I have a big enough back log of updates that I’m currently doing ref sheets for characters that I never did cause I didn’t think they’d have an appearance till my 50th rewrite where I said “guess I’ll give the plot a good kick in the rear.”

Didn’t do the quarantine tango for nearly as long as anyone else because my work is “essential” Being eyeglasses.

[Kelheor]

I got smashed into the bed, so now I am reviewing my Chinese and some "trying to remember characters" explanations are freaking hilarious

Come ooon
