I don't see a thread for medal badges but what if we changed them to challenge themed like genre winners get the genre logo on the medal and buffet winners get something buffet themed that people can see that a particular person won there badges from that event.

| Probably best to keep it relatively standardized as far as the badges go. However, what I would suggest if you wanted something like that would be, if you think you have the photoshop skills, to make custom signature images for things like that. Do it consistently and you might even be able to convince the powers that be to give you an artist badge for it. |

| Or possibly a badge for top scorer in each genre, but now we're talking about a lot of badges. |

| Considering how few people have the 3-star badges in any of the genres other than brick or point-and-click, that's pretty close to top-scorer-in-a-genre as it is. |

I actually just proposed this this morning. Hopefully it would add more incentive to those who want to specialize in genres instead of spreading out all over the place. |

The only problem with this is might cause too much of a skew in the badge score leaderboards, as if you were the only person to 3 star a genre you would effectively be getting 200 badge score for it |

Wouldn't be that big an issue, since smrnov would get most of them, and everyone else would just fight it out behind him, lol. I mean a single badge for each genre, that only one person gets for having the most points in that genre (not just 3*ing it). It doesn't have to have a value of 200, could just be 50. If you mean combined score with the 3* badge, so be it. If no one else wants to make the effort in that genre and you do, good for you. Would be incentive for people who only really like to play certain genres, and might make more competition within the genres themselves. |

| I don't think 200 points for mastering a genre is absurd considering the significant difficulty. There's currently little incentive to go beyond 1* in many genres such as Platformer(1* is worth 80) and Strategy(1* is worth 75). Right now the most efficient method of picking up score is to 1* everything. |

I really don't see any need for that. What happens when a challenge does not repeat? I am not a fan at all of one-off badges. No need to clog a person's badges with duplicates just to show off multiple contests, too. |
