y'know… the glasses have to be the easiest badge to get. Ever.
Think about it: if the friends list caps at 1500, to have 25 of those people befriend you back is less than 2%. If you want that badge, just start adding friends until your clicking-finger falls off. Those peeps will get the little message and the option to add you back. You only need a 1.7% return to get the badge.
At 972 friends, I only needed a 2.6% return of adds.
Now - don’t mistake this post. I am not complaining about the badge. I am bringing up another theory on what some of the other yet-undisclosed badges could mean. I think the ultimate “fan” badge might require 25% of whatever the list cap is – in this case 375 people would need to add you as a friend. That seems a pretty decent number of people befriending you to be Ultimate Fan Badge worthy.
KatieK -- yes it is. Chefs' badges are fairly meaningless (I actually have nearly 400,000 pts just through pushing sets out to y'all), so we need to just turn those off in our case.
Looks like that rockstar point value is going to have to stay after all. It's like a free gift of 100 pts. :)
I cant believe i havent made it to the deliveries badge.. it must be more than just straight deliveries?? hmm... and i thought inching my way to 3000 pts was really good.. :::lol::: -- must. set. goals. higher. :^D

MobiTec needs to seriously log out and back in so we can see what having over 25 referrals nets you.
These are awesome!
@Lucky: it is ironic you got the referral ones, specifically if they are counting the dupes, hehe.
toamigo on Apr 25, 2007
they are cute:P
Luckybeitia on Apr 25, 2007
I don't know why my account just got 600 more points! I swear I didn't cheat (not again :D).
epidemix on Apr 25, 2007
Cool, grats to those who got new badges. Did you earn tokens too?
Luckybeitia on Apr 25, 2007
No I still have 25...
tamashii on Apr 25, 2007
Ya, mine jumped up some points as well. I don’t know why.
MobiTec on Apr 25, 2007
Woohoo... I Got a TV/Monitor Badge!!! 25+ Refferals
Should be very close to the 50+ soon
Wonder what that will be.. *Ponders* That Gold Ring looks good!!
Chefs... You know you want to give it to me, hahaha :o)
daveamun on Apr 25, 2007
25 referrals! Way to go
soprano on Apr 25, 2007
Must..get..to..5000...points!!!
tanic5 on Apr 25, 2007
5000 I am setting my sights on 1 million. I am gonna start bum rushing strangers on the street and demand they sign up.
tamashii on Apr 25, 2007
I hear street urchins will sign up for 5 dollars. Their scam is that they don’t have a reliable internet connection.
tamashii on Apr 25, 2007
Boo-YA!!!
I have 25 fans (sunglasses) and I have made over 200 deliveries (wings)
gswd on Apr 25, 2007
Well. I guess I am the loser of the pack. Used to be "kickin' it old skool" here, but I don't warrant any of the new badges today.
I assume that the deliveries badge carried deliveries from the old system, as that was listed on our profiles back then.
tamashii on Apr 25, 2007
@gswd: try logging out and then back in.
I don’t think the Wings badge counts old deliveries.
MobiTec on Apr 25, 2007
Aww!! I Want some "RedBull" Wings!!! hahahaha!!
*Looking Kool With Those Shades Tamashii* :o)
gswd on Apr 25, 2007
Is there any place that shows us our delivery count like the old system did. I just scoured my profile page and couldn't find it.
gswd on Apr 25, 2007
Ok. I took Tamashii's suggestion, and I did get the glasses, so I guess that is for friends (not referrals).
dishg on Apr 25, 2007
those are sweet badges... congrats u guys =)
soprano on Apr 25, 2007
glasses are for anti-friends (people who have friended you)
Hoshichan on Apr 25, 2007
Yay, I have glasses! :D
MobiTec on Apr 25, 2007
Hoshichan: Now you can see your "Parrot" is upside down!... lol
tamashii on Apr 25, 2007
fuseunderground now has the Golden Halo (#31) = I’ve sent 50 Gold deliveries.
Apparently, I have my wad of points from Bronze sets, LOL.
fuseunderground on Apr 25, 2007
yes but you got the wings, I wish I knew how many I'd sent in total, I can't be too far off, can I? oh the agony! ;-)

I really want to know what the tree means! I just can't figure out what kind of thing it could be.
lparziale on Apr 25, 2007
TREE? Knowledge perhaps?
lparziale on Apr 25, 2007
Ooooooo.... CRYPTIC!

i just have the glasses for fans.. i want the other badges! :::cry:::
KatieK on Apr 25, 2007
Tamashii & Fuseunderground, I am impressed! Nice delivering.
Iconmaster - More badges? More? You don't want us to get any work done at all.
PS - Isn't it somehow unfair that Josh & Iconmaster have the points badges?
iconmaster on Apr 26, 2007

And here's that clue again. (Isn't it obvious?)
fuseunderground on Apr 26, 2007
well they all seem to say 'deliveries' so maybe every 200 deliveries, and a tree means 'firmly rooted' and 800/1000 deliveries??
