I there a place to look at all the badges currently made? Would it be possible to put a list of them in the lists sub-forum?

When you are looking at your profile, there's a link "Profile Info" that says "Awards List".

Was just looking through the list of badges and there doesn't seem to really be a system for which ones have been created.

Here are the ones which have been created so far:

Twitch

DK Killscreener        (Applies to both Arcade and MAME?)
DKJR Killscreener      (Applies to both Arcade and MAME?)
DK 1 Mil         (Applies to both Arcade and MAME?)
DK 1.1 Mil         (Applies to both Arcade and MAME?)

Wildcard Rematch Champ
No Hammer Tournament Champ
KO1 Champion
KO2 Champion

DK MAME WR Holder
DK Arcade WR Holder

Pauline WR Holder      (How did this one sneak in? Hehe)

DKJR WR Holder

DK3 WR Holder

D2K WR Holder

DK 1-1 WR Holder

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here are some suggestions for additional badges that would seem to just balance things out:

Pauline MAME WR Holder      (Unless Pauline is removed...)
DKJR MAME WR Holder
DK3 MAME WR Holder
D2K MAME WR Holder
DK 1-1 Arcade WR Holder
Crazy Kong Arcade WR Holder
Crazy Kong MAME WR Holder
DK No Hammer Arcade WR Holder
DK No Hammer MAME WR Holder

(DK3 5-man Arcade WR Holder?)
(DK3 5-man MAME WR Holder?)

DK3 "Blue Screener"
D2K Killscreener
Crazy Kong Killscreener

NOTE: I think DK3 is somewhat problematic due to all of the different settings with which the game can be played and is tracked. I'm not sure how many badges are appropriate for this game really.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Also, I think there needs to be some more badges available that don't end up just being hogged by the best players (like the Twitch badge).

Some ideas off the top of my head:

DKF Blogger (link to their DKF Blog)

DKF Special Contributer (anyone who is doing a lot for the DK Community -- DKF admins, high score list keepers, Chris's DK Blog website, Tutorial / Manual creators, etc)

DK Arcade Machine Owner (link to their KLOV entry?)
(Similar for Owner of DKJR, DK3, D2K, Crazy Kong Arcade Machines?)

Arcade Owner (3 or more cabs?)

Event "Participation" badges?

Here's an idea that's likely a programming headache, but how about a badge for crossing 100,000 points that gets "automatically" REPLACED by a 200,000 point badge when you boost up your score, and so on. This would continue upwards until you hit a killscreen (this badge gets replaced by your killscreen badge) or you hit a million points without a killscreen (this badge gets replaced by your permanent 1M badge).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Alrighty then . . . just throwing some ideas out there. You guys are doing an excellent job of running these forums. Whatever you guys want to do with ideas like these that's great!

I definetely think a Crazy Kong KS badge should be created. This gives players without a badge something to shoot for. Also for players that aren't quite KS capable yet, it gives me a neat way to win a badge that isnt necessarily as hard as a DK KS. I guess you could look at it as a good initiation badge or something. I really like this idea for CK KS badge! Gives all players something cool to shoot for that isnt totally out of reach.
