Trophies, Trophies and More Trophies!

So, recently we've been looking at the trophies on the site (formerly badges!) and we've made some slight changes and added a few new ones for you to earn and add to your collection. If you hadn't noticed already, they're already ordered differently in your profiles!


Current Trophy Changes

Pixel Prodigy now requires 30 original graphics submissions to earn, not 100 graphics submissions.


Creator of Awesome Sprite has had the biggest change: it is now called Super Spriter and requires you to submit 30 sprite submissions to earn.


With all those changes, let's get on with the new ones.


New Trophies

Yellow Editor
Awarded to users who have earned a score of 20 or more. Your score is determined by the amount of hack reviews you have written for hack moderations.


Red Writer
Awarded to users who have earned a score of 50 or more. Your score is determined by the amount of hack reviews you have written for hack moderations.


Blue Reviewer
Awarded to users who have earned a score of 100 or more. Your score is determined by the amount of hack reviews you have written for hack moderations.


Rainbow Critic
Awarded to users who have earned a score of 200 or more. Your score is determined by the amount of hack reviews you have written for hack moderations.


Rapid Ripper
Earned by submitting 30 ripped graphics to the Graphics section.


Handy Helper
Awarded as a token of thanks to users who have helped with the remoderation of the Graphics section by submitting 30 or more updated conversions.


So now your scores actually mean something and it makes it worthwhile reviewing those hacks.


Claiming Your Trophy/Trophies
There's quite a few changes and new ones here, so it's likely a lot of you will be eligible to claim a trophy or two. If you think you are, just fire me a PM and I'll take a look. Please just keep any questions and stuff in this thread as I don't want to sift through claim requests here too #ab{:P} Once I've had some requests come through, I'll get them all handed out in one swoop.

Little bit confused about the changes or something? You're free to ask.

Idol winners and 12DBC winners, your trophies are being sorted out already, you don't have to let us know #ab{;)}
Oh hey, now my Sprite badge/trophy will actually get used. Hahaha, I keep forgetting I even had that thing to give out...
<Adam> I feel like smwc is a prostitute now, because we put up a porn ad for money
Oh nice then. I guess they are nice so congratulations to the person who designed them. They look pretty good! Also glad to see that some badge requirements are toned down... 100 music files to be submitted is pretty crazy and I have seen only two users that have Sneaky Ninja Notemaster.

Oh and a quick question: Will the previous 24 hour contest (5th and 6th) trophies along with the VLDC trophies be sorted out as well? I haven't won any of them but it would be nice for the winners to receive them.
Yes, they are also on the list. Forgot to mention that #w{=P}

Those... look... AWESOME
Kudos to whoever designed those. Also great to see some changes to the other badges. The 100 custom songs one (even if I don't make custom music) seemed legit crazy ^^.
And the custom sprites one is nice too, now that you can get it by just submitting x number of sprites.

... what even am I doing with my life?
By the way, the Sneaky Ninja Notemaster badge dates back to 2008 or so. It was sort of made as a reference to my hack back in the day since I was pioneering a lot of music stuff, and I started assigning it to porters (though I think only two or three people got it). What I'm trying to get at is that it's a really outdated badge graphic and if someone wants to redo it to make it more "fitting" with the other sections, it would be much appreciated.
Rapid Ripper sounds like something I could get before 2015, I have already a bunch of personal rips I didn't release just yet.
Yay! Handy Helper and Pixel Prodigy is awesome. I think I can get them sometime, when I finish my hack and submission for the graphics contest. time to flood the "waiting to be moderated graphics" section. I really like those new trophies, they are also well drawn and way easier to get.
More trophies that I'll probably never get. Whoopee. Regardless, I do like how they look. Congrats to those who have or will get them.
To be honest that sounds pretty pessimistic.


This one isn't that hard to get -- if you simply submit proper updates of graphics submissions you can get this one easily in my opinion. I've already been updating graphics before for the sake of helping but now that I might have a chance to get a badge for helping I feel even more encouraged to do it! All you need is patience and effort IMO. ;)
It's nice to see Pixel Prodigy's requirements being toned down; I always thought 100 graphics submissions was too high a number to achieve, and considering no one this site has ever gotten it, I don't think I'm too crazy for believing so.

e: Wait, if there are trophies being handed out for the 12days contest, I would like to ask: Why weren't there ever trophies for the last 24h contest? It's seems a bit inconsistent as to which site events you earn trophies from and which ones you don't. Okay nevermind, I hadn't seen Tahixham's reply to Everest.
There will be, I asked in my earlier post here and they are on the list as well so don't be worried. #ab{;)}
About those reviewer trophies, they will be available to get FOR EVER, right?
Of course they would be available for as long as you can get points. Why not? Get reviewing if you are interested.

Yes, as long as the score system lives.

We're going to be introducing a newer music badge, instead of the Sneaky Ninja Notemaster one. Stay tuned for more information on that.
Oh hey this is pretty cool actually.

This seems more reasonable and gives others more of a chance to earn some trophies.

I actually see nothing wrong with the Sneaky Ninja Notemaster badge. It was nice to see reference to SNN's hack but if the new badge is better then I guess that is the way forward.

Finally! I was just waiting for someone else to say it. ^^; Although I've been waiting for almost a year, but yeah.

Also, I think this one could be used for other cooperative efforts for the site, it doesn't have to be solely for the GFX remoderation help imo.
The new trophies are pretty sweet! Great job on them.
*gasp*
Time to work!

In all seriousness, those look pretty fancy; I guess I'm not very far from some of them. :3 I have a question though: if one has made 200+ reviews, does that mean he earns the four score-related trophies?

Also, it was about time something was done about the ExGFX and sprite trophies, I guess.
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
