Few things

[scottish]

Well firstly I'll leave a reminder that it's Monday for @Nick; and @Phil; to post the Weekly Posting Stats.

Secondly (again mostly @Phil; and @Nick; ), i'll give you's a list of stuff you still need to do;

1) Fix the categories for Awards
2) Rework the top prize and possibly reward the top 5 people for Weekly Posting Stats
3) Organise Arcade tournaments
4) Reoganise the arcade categories
5) Were you going to implement the lottery/raffle for tokens? you never gave a conclusive answer in the other thread

Thirdly, more aimed at @Wispur; I suppose, is there any chance of you re-implementing the Achievements system?

Obviously this time it would be done properly, I've had a look at the plugin and it looks so simple to implement most stuff and I still can't understand how it failed (maybe lack of effort put in, as well as leaving awards there when it was live? idk).

Also on the topic of arcade, would you mind adding 1 game per week?

No point in even bothering with the achievements system again. It failed and that was partly down to the system we used.

Yes you can have a game per week. It can't always be your choice though so I will come up with a way of making it fair.

People can feel free to ask me the game and I'll try to find it.

atm I'm just taking a random game from different categories (and making sure it's fine to play)

edit; also the system looked fine? the failure looked down to the lack of effort put into it, the fact another system was running adjacent to it as well.

why do you want achievements back

It was entirely due to effort and the fact that the emphasis was put onto the awards bit and not the achievements which meant everything was manual and tedious.

Achievements system works, just requires proper thought. Worked in hxss for Drew, worked at Christmas and Halloween.

I'm working on an achievements system at the moment. When I've finished it, I'll present it fully in a thread in here because I do think it'd be more beneficial than an awards system.

I would say the attempt (and hey at least there was an attempt, it is a big project) failed because:

- it was set to be retroactive so everyone's achieved everything. rush of people claiming them at beginning then it dies.
- tokens prizes. prizes needed to be better (see below). no incentive.
- easy/medium/hard. this was main thrust of the idea that there'd be different categories and levels and completing level would give bigger prize (credits).
- tasks were fairly official. could branch out to more fun ideas that involved teamwork or community spirit.
- admin. tasks were not evenly distributed to member/staff participation. this has been sorted out in new challenge system as most challenges require a screenie.
- no enthusiasm. introduced then nothing got done to it for months on end then dropped. ofc it was gonna fail.

Agreed, awards are so much better.

Leave it as it is.

[Kyle]

Achievements were always intended as a side project ad wouldn't interact with awards whatsoever aside from perhaps getting an award for completing a particular set. That was one of its pitfalls as it just became too convoluted and people didn't know whether they were comin or goin or which system was being used.
