I'm thinking it's for next Halloween, it bares an obvious resemblance to the other two.

That it does... or there was a contest they never finished. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1503 Joined: 29 Jun 2008     | Wow...cool. Speaking of, where is the badge directory? |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 737 Joined: 23 Jan 2008 | Just right click a badge, and copy it's link address. I.E. your Matrix badge is: http://static.escapistmagazine.com/media/global/badges/32/112.png I just messed with the numbers and found all the badges that were out there. There were 3 or 4 I had never seen before. |

which numbers? the first or second set? |
BANNED  Posts: 2994 Joined: 16 Aug 2008    | where did you find this badge? On topic. User was banned for: Ketchup Packets... Why in the heck are they sooo small?. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2348 Joined: 21 Aug 2008 | Ok I'm stuck on #2, #131 although it has something to do with unforgotten realms, #111 although that has something to do with the Lich king, #133/#134(same badge), #136, #137, and #153. I'm just curious as those are the only ones that I have little to no idea what they are about. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 737 Joined: 23 Jan 2008 | Here's all the ones I managed to find; I can't remember what number the bat was or what number the black forum vagabond was, but I remember they had weird numbers and were all by themselves...
I've also never seen the brown "E" , Haunted House, Star, or the one next to the Unforgotten Realms; they were in normal order though, so I assume they've already been given out. Maybe at WarCry? |
IT Director  Posts: 1549 Joined: 13 Jun 2002     | The E was for an EVE-related contest. Most of the others (like the bat) are art we decided not to go with or tests. Our code doesn't delete the art when a badge is deleted, so don't assume that there's a badge just because the art was in there. It's also pretty typical for us to make a badge in the system and just throw some random art in there when we need to prep code but don't have the final art (like that sword one). The bat, IIRC, was the original for the Phantom Arcade (which is why it matches the others). After the artists made the big fancy logo for the game we decided to use the Pac-Man instead. |

That's for being a news room contributer, you have to actually work for the Themis Group(they own the escapist and warcy) to get that and several other badges. |

Too bad. I would have liked to have a matching set of badges. Oh well. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 737 Joined: 23 Jan 2008 | haha, I got an IT Director so it's time to come clean, I made the bat one myself and I liked it so I shared it. Glad to know people think it's legit though! Sorry for the spam, but I thought it would be hilarious. EDIT: The black forum vagabond is also a dupe, the others are all legit. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2862 Joined: 14 Jun 2008   | How do you get forum vagabond if there are only 7 forums to post in? |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 737 Joined: 23 Jan 2008 |
WarCry and the Escapist are connected, so you can also post in the WarCry forum. |

I totally did not know that. I feel stupid now. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 154 Joined: 16 Oct 2008     | ahhhhh, now i need to go post there, i wanted the vagabond badge, couldn't ever figure out how to get it though. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2851 Joined: 20 Jul 2008   | Damn, there's a ton of badages I didn't even know where here to get. |

I take it you didn't read Virgil's post. But seriously I hope that Black Vagabond one is a f'real one. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2851 Joined: 20 Jul 2008 |
Yeah I did, just saying that there are still a ton of badages that I didn't even know where there like the ones from past contest's and what not. |

It's not, sorry to burt your bubble, haha. It would be pretty damn cool though, eh? "Has posted in 10 different forums in 12 different months." |

When looking through all the badge directories on the Escapist, I came across this badge. How come we didn't have a quiz for it? It looks spiffy.
