Mysterious New Badge

[Bok]

It's a count of how many megaMilestones you have accrued. There are lots of different ones to try to achieve...

between :
5,10 - bronze
10,15 - silver
15,20 - gold
20,25 - emerald
25,30 - ruby
35,40 - sapphire

Thanks. Is that in the FAQ or some place on the stats page?

It's not. I always kept the MM stuff purposefully mysterious

But I'll see what I can do on return from my trip tomorrow.

This seems like the right thread for me to fall in to the same trap again. So yesterday I notice another mysterious new badge which seems to have come from nowhere. I assume that some project has decided to give badges, but a bronze 'name block' with IBL in it means nothing to me. No projects or sub-projects that I have participated in appears to have those initials - unless of course it's not English, in which case I could guess all day long! So what obvious thing am I missing this time?

I only implemented the credit ones.

What about the atlas badges for years of contribution (similar to the one in Milkyway) and for perseverance? It would be very nice, if you could include these two as well.

[Bok]

yes, I will add them, just needs a little extra coding..

Hi Bok
So I just hit a total of 25 MMs and was surprised to find I didn't qualify for the Ruby MM badge, thinking I was sure that I had read somewhere that I would. So I dug around a bit and found this, and I am curious. I didn't spot it before but the break points of these different badges as definied above are a bit confusing, is 25 Emerald, or is it Ruby? My gut feeling is that getting to 5,10,15,20,25,30 and 35 is a more noteworthy and worth a change of badge than getting to 6,11,16,21,26,31 and 36. So no, I am not campaigning to get the ruby badge, but I think it is worth checking out the coding to make sure it is the way you want it and publishing a correction to the badge values once you decide which way to go.
Cheers
Mark
