2009-03-09 [windowframe]: What's the criteria for awarding different stages of the badge?

2009-03-09 [Chimes]: We're still working that one out, for now we won't need it.

2009-03-09 [windowframe]: But I do. ;)

2009-03-09 [Chimes]: I know. :P Lin and I will make the decision tonight, then the donors page can be updated. *is currently in college*

2009-03-09 [windowframe]: :O Naughty! Get back to work!

2009-03-09 [Chimes]: It's lunchtime :P

2009-03-09 [Chimes]: I don't have another lesson until 2.

2009-03-09 [windowframe]: :O Slacker. <.<

2009-03-09 [Chimes]: I am, I am :P

2009-03-26 [windowframe]: *pokes* Figured out your badge scaling yet?

2009-03-26 [Linderel]: !
Good point xD We'll discuss it when Chimes comes online.

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: *Insert Chimes here*

2009-03-27 [windowframe]: *insert discussion here*

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: Righty-ho. How many phases do we have?

2009-03-27 [Linderel]: We has four o' them.

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: And how many do the featured wiki and daily poem has? (As a point of comparison, to make it easier to decide on numbers :P)

2009-03-27 [Linderel]: Daily Poem has... well.
Two phases for each level, and as far as I know, four levels: Daily Poets, Master Poets, Grandmaster Poets and Great Grandmaster Poets.

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: So, we can have the four levels... with only 1 badge for each... 1 feature gets you the first badge... now we need logical steps to get you the others.

2009-03-27 [Linderel]: Yarr. So... do we use a standard number, or does it go exponentially?
(In DP three poems gets you coloured phase of the first badge, five gets you green version of second badge, eight gets you coloured, then fifteen again a green one... and thirty again a green one. The coloured ones for those haven't been officially decided, but I'm thinking 22 for Grandmaster and 38 for Great Grandmaster)

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: Hm... well, seeing as we only have four badges we probably need to have higher numbers.

2009-03-27 [windowframe]: *butts in* but you're featuring once a week rather than once a day, remember, *butts out*

2009-03-27 [Linderel]: Yah. Though I find it really hard to imagine anyone getting to even 20 featured stories - especially seeing how this is going to be a weekly/bi-weekly feature, non? xD

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: True. I have no brain, evidently. XD

2009-03-27 [Linderel]: My suggestion: 1 - 6 - 13 - 22. That would be bloody hard, but... eh. We want to make it hard. There won't be a Great Grandmaster Poet in yeaaaaaaaars yet, either.

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: I like it. :]

2009-03-28 [Linderel]: Shall we go with that, then?

2009-03-28 [Chimes]: Yes. ^^

2010-10-01 [Mortified Penguin]: The link in my badge slot links to the empty Featured Writer wiki, instead of here. Fix it, [Chimes]! Fix it fix it fix it!

2010-10-01 [Chimes]: Fixing, fixing.

2010-10-02 [Mortified Penguin]: Dang it, [Chimes]! Now my badge slot says "and and also one"! Fix it fix it fix it!

2010-10-02 [Mortified Penguin]: Also, there's no comma after Featured Wikigraphers and there's an unnecessary 'and' after Portraitists. Fix it fix it fix it!!

2010-10-02 [Mortified Penguin]: Plus, there should probably be a comma after Daily Poets... it would probably just be easier to give me higher privs, so I could fix it myself...

2010-10-02 [Chimes]: Done - the fixing not the privs. :P I apologise for the 'and and' thing, I was really tired when I first attempted to fix it.

2010-10-02 [Mortified Penguin]: Excellent! Except you put a bracket after Featured Wikigraphers instead of a comma...

2010-10-02 [Chimes]: WHAT? How is that even possible? I am so not with it today. Soz. I die. I die.

2010-10-02 [Chimes]: Aha. Turns out the comma was there... it was just inside the bracket and so mysteriously disappeared. Weird.

2010-10-02 [Mortified Penguin]: Uh huh... uh huh... suuuure it was.

2011-08-10 [kians mummy]: I have a Question, if you have had a poem featured on main street, which is classed as a writing, how come they don't get this badge . ?

2011-08-10 [Chimes]: They get the badge specifically for the Daily Poem (Daily Poets badge) - this badge is only for the Featured Story.

2011-08-10 [kians mummy]: Ok then, now worries, no harm in asking. :)
