Cool! I will grab the top of page two and I will run the bulletin board for badge rarity. Until the first person reports they have all 100, at which point their own page can serve as the bulletin board for badge rarity.

Not me. They can stick their badges were the sun don't shine. One of dumbest ideas ever except for Battle of the Sexes and Know Your Server. Even worse I am seeing people use the smart phone to cheat on this. A new low even for cheats.
I have almost stop playing altogether. Kentucky is at their lowest site count in years. Louisville has been reduced to B-dubs and Old Chicago. Sad times. :(


Hey Cards, I actually started laughing when I read this.

Cheating for Badges ? Good Lord.

The badges are the third dumbest thing NTN has ever done?
I demand a recount!
I wouldn't rank them in the top twenty.
And that's just including stuff from 2012.


Well I might have left a few things out. Still it is in the top 10.

First came player's plus points, then medals and now badges. What's next? Ribbons, gold stars, smiley faces? :?
Dear Buzztime, it's all about the competition. Team or single player. Not the meaningless rewards. :roll:

One thing I've noticed is the rarity ranking is not predetermined but changes. For a few hours I had a "unique" Sir Mix-a-lot which has now been downgraded a few times as others have been awarded. I doubt the basic categories will ever be anything but common, but depending on how long these last before resetting, I can imagine in a couple of weeks nothing will be all that rare.

Which is the badge I've awarded NTN Buzztime for their godawful, horrible, grievous bungling of the Kenny G question in Friday's "Soothing Sounds" Topix. :cry: :evil:
