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.

They may be planning to use it later on, or perhaps it's just unearned as of yet.

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.

Wow...cool.
They probably dropped it in favor of the hand, or something.

Speaking of, where is the badge directory?

Just right click a badge, and copy it's link address. I.E. your Matrix badge is:

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?
EDIT: figured it out myself, does anyone know what #2 is?

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.

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?

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.

Virgil:
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.

Too bad. I would have liked to have a matching set of badges. Oh well.

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.

How do you get forum vagabond if there are only 7 forums to post in?

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.

ahhhhh, now i need to go post there, i wanted the vagabond badge, couldn't ever figure out how to get it though.

dalek sec:
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.
