Badges & Ranking

I opened a discussion in the Forum, which Slim suggested would be better placed here. A précis of my original post (as corrected by nesters with more knowledge than me!):

Ranks are earned by the number of visits, comments, etc, that each nester makes. No problem with that.
There are (or, should I say, were) twenty badges available. Fifteen are either voted for by members or awarded by Bird Leader and Slim for altruistic contributions.
Five are for flinging prowess:
Seasons Greedings 1-16 Feather – closed
Danger Addict – “An Elite Few” who achieved a certain number of points. Well, it’s closed now, so very elite
Jedi Addict – still active, much loved
Anchors Away – still active, much loved (but based on a glitch)
Underdog – still active, much loved
Only the five for flinging prowess! And two closed!
What badges would you like you like to see, to celebrate your achievements?”

Well, that’s what I posted. I have to say here @amslimfordy I had no intention of leaving you a huge list that could never be managed by the admins. Although I am not a mathematician, I can count, analyse and give a reasonable synopsis as to whether a suggested badge is feasible or not.
Two suggestions were posted:

@Burpie said “Perhaps an AB Master-badge for meeting the score addict requirement in all episodes”
I liked that one, until I looked into it. Poached Eggs has 1693 flingers who have score addict achievement, Mighty Hoax, 1452. You can work out the probabilities of how many have achieved it in all levels. Too many to make the badge feasible to manage or have any meaning.

Then @Rat posted “I would love to see a Top Twenty or Top Ten badge. A badge awarded to anyone that can improve their scores in every level of a World, Chapter, etc to above a certain ranking. For example, all levels of Trick or Treat in Seasons above top twenty. I think this would motivate a new level of play. It would also honour a flinger of prowess……..”
This badge is feasible, but would create a very exclusive club indeed. I play mainly Seasons, so looked at Hogs and Kisses (less levels than Trick or Treat, easier to calculate). Of the top five scorers for that level, not one has achieved a top twenty place in every level. Not even the great Moonsabre.

Neither of these suggestions provided the kind of ‘celebrating a darned good, as opposed to top, flinger’ badge that I had in mind.

I then looked back in this thread, and noticed two people (November 2011) asking for a Top Score Badge. I like this one. The admins gave two replies “being considered” and “looking at linking badges to the leader boards”. But it could be modified to make it even more exclusive, say for holding a number of Top Scores consecutively. In Seasons there are roughly six players with five to ten top scores, three with between eleven and twenty, and one with more than twenty (unsurprisingly its Moonsabre, who has forty four!!!!). Bronze (5+), silver (10+), and gold(20+) badges for Top Scoring seem, to me anyway, the way forward. Obviously, for a Top Score to count, it needs to be in a level that has been in existence for some time, as the Top Score changes hands frequently on release. If this can’t be linked to the leader boards, an application with screen shots should be easy to manage.

Another option would be a badge similar to Jedi Addict in Space, Seasons, Rio, and Original. One level, free of glitches, with a recognised level of difficulty, and an achievement level set by experienced flingers, would also provide an added bonus to us mere mortals to compete with flinging gods!

Any comments? Any more ideas? I’m prepared to evaluate any suggestions.
And, don’t forget, whatever we suggest, may be impossible for the awesome admins to achieve for technical reasons that I couldn’t even begin to imagine.
