So, how are you going to find everything?

Do we get a hint?

Also, I got some award ideas:

1. Lots of Free Time- View every single topic on the Interguild at the current moment.

2. Ankle Slasher- Be hidden while one other member is online.
I couldn't really find a picture for this one.

3.Bright- Have one of your award ideas approved by the staff

4. Junkie- Let your Pm inbox get full.

how about negative awards like this?
George Bush- get a karma per 100 posts ratio of less than -250

Broken Sound Barrier - gain more than 100 karma

Fixed Sound Barrier - gain less then -100 karma
(the previous picture but flipped)

You know, out of absurd ideas come some good ones, so I'm just going to suggest anything that comes to mind in this post of suggestions, that is just remotely reasonable.

Not like the idea of getting a reward for staying online 24 hours straight isn't absurd, anyways...

Clean Record
Be a member of at least 1 year old, and never have a run-in with the staff members
Award is removed when you have a run-in with a staff member.

Fugitive
Be suspended at least twice(I actually think a good amount of our staff members might qualify for this award)

<this doesn't need a name, because no one will ever get it>
Win first place in two competitions that Harumbai entered into.

Close Encounter
As someone already suggested, be online at the same time as Haily

Constant Success
Have at least two posts that are rated 5 or more karma

And on the opposing side

Constant Failure
Have at least 5 posts rated -3 or less, or at least 2 posts rated -5 or less.

Consistency Award
Have 1000+ posts, and do not have any of your IP's match that of another member(IE: Interbot)
This would also go back to the old interguild.

Rebel
Get into an argument with a staff member and win

Secret Test Board
Discover the Secret Test Board's location, and notify a staff member about your discovery.
Notifying the public about the location of the secret test board will result in you losing your award(and everyone else not being able to get it)(this would require Livio to do some work to make i

REJECTED
Submit a video, guide, or game, and have it be rejected.

WARNING
Have received at least 5 interguild warnings

Blatantly Apparent Boy!
Post something that someone soon afterwards replies to with, "Hey, that's Captain Obvious' line!"

Forum Success
Start a topic which gains 100 posts before going into inactivity(must be from the random chat board)

Forum Failure
Start a topic which only gains less than 10 posts before becoming inactive(must be from the random chat board)

D52 Supporter
Given to anyone who has a bunny in their avatar



Maybe I'll add some more later, but these are just some suggestions.

I made a quick edit to the news post to clarify where exactly the Interbot phrase is hidden. It's hidden in the page title. Here, the title is "Custom Awards Available", but if it were hidden here, it'd instead be the interbot message.

I also add information about the third custom award that we have right now...

Well, I think these awards are things that members should strive for... so I don't think we should give out awards for things like getting a video rejected, or making a poorly karma-rated post, or getting suspended twice .

Other than that, I do like the awards and I think they have a lot of potential to be awesome. But we should focus on the awards for good/cool stuff.

I'd like to remind you that so far, staff members can't (thankfully) see what you're doing on the Interguild, and we can't see if your PM inbox is full.

Still, keep the suggestions coming.

guys, i think we might wanna have the awards hidden. aka, only some 2-4 mods will know about them, and the others will not. like avvies on neopets, actually >_>

Three awards to start things out with could be worth it.

Especially since the system isn't automatic.

I like the idea of a lightbulb award. I'm thinking it could work as, simply, suggest an idea that the staff implements (awards included). It'd be the "I'm always thinking... OF IDEAS!" award. It's funny that Yaya suggests an award that would be given to him by definition...

Well, the lightbulb award has been created and awarded to both yaya and guyguy, and I have switched around this new post to reflect its growing nature. As well, a new, Aeon-related award has been added.

Hey! I remember the "Interbot was is here!" It was I think... in the jellsprout's profile! Now, there's not that/

LOL at teo's sig because I don't get what it's saying.

http://www.interguild.org/articles/index.php?id=36? (This is what I see)
Why does it say 'Interbot was is here'?

Holy moly!!! !!!

Someone found it already!? Jazz, you must have been hunting down the location or something, cuz I just can't believe that anyone would be looking at the interguild rules, especially not after all of that stuff that neezles was doing...

I have awarded you with the award, Jazz.

You are I think the 4th person to find interbot.

1st Location: Login page - Found by Kroto(apparently)
2nd Location: Jebby's userprofile - Stumbled upon by Dando and Quirvy
3rd Location: The Interguild Rules page - Probably hunted down by Jazz

No, I was trying to find the Invisible Board. Where is it, anyways?

You were planning to find the secret test board by reading the rules?

The secret test board? It's so secret that I don't even think that some staff members have access to it(not that they couldn't give themselves access to it...)

If we ever make it an actual achievement, Livio will have to do some work on the board to make it so that you can access it, but you can't find it through the forum index, or unread topics from the secret board. Or of course, we could always just delete all of the topics, since the transition used in there is going to apparently be redone some time later.

But you probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about, so I'll just simplify it to "no"

Also, I've moved the censor elsewhere, and edited my previous post

Lol, the 'Interbot was here' on Jebby's profile was actually a part of this game? Lol, I thought it was a joke planted by a mod, lol. Actually, maybe Teo found it too, lol. 'Jebby' looks kind of like 'Jellsprout', lol.

EDIT: Aha! The Invisible Board!

I found "Interbot waz here" at Jazz's Profile!

Or he might have remembered me revealing its location in the random chat.

I'd give you a second award for that, except that you have to actually report finding it. Kind of like how Livio reportedly passed through Jebby's profile at some point, but failed to notice it.

Can we have a new section of awards so that these don't get in with the best of 2009 awards?

There are already many awards on the Interguild.

Anyways, I have a few ideas for awards if we are still suggesting?

I think that we're open to suggestions at all times...

But especially now.

And to Dando, you're encouraged to not get those specific awards that you criticize.

I got a question: Are we allowed to cheat like Shos tried to when getting the "going for the record" award?
