Instead of a rep system, I would prefer an achievements or badges system.
Badges as a reward for example:
A badge for having built and posted at least one of a type of cannon (combustion, pneumatic, hybrid, cloud etc.)
A badge for having built and posted a cannon with more then a specific amount of kinetic energy.
A badge for having penetrated some x material (like steel plate) or a coin.
A badge for having achieved a specific distance
A badge for breaking the sound barrier
And more.
This would surely make people build and post cannons, to get more badges.
It would be cool to build a gun with a mission, and the amount of badges someone has shows off what he can do.

I know the perfect place where these badge icons could be placed for other people to see yet not as distracting...psycix wrote:Instead of a rep system, I would prefer an achievements or badges system.

and you could click on the peoples different badges and see the different cannons, etc. under that category that they've made/posted.

And I wouldn't mind making the badges (would actually love to) if I have permission to do so.....
any objections?

I do think badges would be better than the rep system. It may be a little work on PCGUY's part, but I'll help with whatever I can.
I think it would be better as far as respect goes. The only question: I know you guys spoke of a clean slate, but would past launchers count towards the badges, example, clide's semi-auto.

I think it would be better (and easier on PCGUY's part) If people could organize what cannons of there's goes under what badge through a sort of file system when you click on the badge...
you click on a certain badge and a listing of all that persons cannons (under that category) shows up with links going to that topic.
I would also be happy to help all i can (currently working on the badges)...

O-K. Done! I've created the icons for the different badges, and have decided to place them under the "spudbux" of your account description when viewed inside a topic. I made two different designs though....and would like your input on what one you like/what i should do differently to make it better...
They are labeled 1 & 2. tell me what you think. hope ya'll enjoy!

I love the badge idea, I think it would be quite cool.
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.
I was thinking I could just make another badge that forwards you to a listing of all the achievements divided into different categories, rather than a bunch more badges...just 1 more...?bigbob12345 wrote:I like 1 better
