What are these badges?
I've been snooping around the source code. I haven't seen these badges in anyone's profile. Anyone know what these mean?

Pot of gold is probably 20 Gold deliveries
Silver Bullet is 20 Silver deliveries (I have that one because of a small bug so i am told)

Ya - several people have the 20 Silver Deliveries badge, despite there not being 20 silver sets.
I think kiwigirl is the only one experiencing a bug giving her both the 20 Silver and 20 Gold badges.

I think watehey is too or one of the other regulars also has that problem or so I ready somewhere

Go to a Chef's page (iconmaster, for example) and you can see most of the badges available (so far, anyway). Mouse over and get their description.
Sly on Mar 23, 2007
But even they don't all have all the deliveries (as they get them the same way we do) so they should not have all of them too
watehey on Mar 23, 2007
@ Sly - no, I've never had too many badges.
But I've cursed with another, more troublesome bug.

@Sly: Uhm.... Yes, they have all the deliveries. Just go to iconmaster's page, and look at the Need tab.
Sly on Mar 23, 2007
Well that is only a relatively recent thing as I have traded with the Chefs

I'm assuming badges are just for the deliveries the user received. Maybe there should be badges for sending icons as well? Not necessarily for each kind, but one badge for, say, 10 deliveries, one for 50, one for 100, etc.
Sly on Mar 23, 2007
Some have all the sets but one of the Chefs still needs 45 sets, I have not checked all the others ... there are 6 Chefs to find ..

@mcd: Delivery badges would be a welcome addition - they could look like little envelopes perhaps.
iconmaster on Mar 23, 2007
There are many, many more badges still to be implemented. Shall I be a tease and preview some of the badge images, with no explanation whatsover?

Aw, crap! Thank you SSOOO much, iconmaster! Damnya!
watehey on Mar 23, 2007
All right! Now we can make a game of it.
Though my psychic skills are impressive, I may or may not be right about what these new mystery bages are for, but I'll give it my best shot...
HERE are my predictions.

Pretty good guesses. I would definitely agree with the microphone one. Sticking with the cool theme, my guess for the glasses is "have X number of friends". Angel wings for having a certain number of people sign up where you were the referrer...since you've brought them to the icon heaven. Not sure what I would guess for the others.

Ummm lucky jackpot..

@ IƱigo - it looked like a slot machine window to me.
@ Finah - why would you need a second pair?
@ Keeblerelf - you do realize that I was being silly, don't you?
Keeblerelf on Mar 24, 2007
Yeah...still good guesses though. :)
bkim on Mar 26, 2007
i want badges even though they don't really do anything! i want to collect them all! hmm...this reminds me of pokemon, magic cards, baseball cards, diablo 2...

The link is gone. What's the microphone for?

We're not sure yet. Anyone else interested in badges may want to visit ChickAzul's Badges FAQ.

"Badges!? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!!" (Alfonso Bedoya in the 1948 movie "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre") . . . Sure glad the IB badges don't stink.
