Seeing as us GA's don't get a lot of requests, I have a new deal. For 10,000 DBs, (Staff Do Not Get it Free) I, or another GA if they're willing will make you a custom, official badge. They do count towards your total. They can say anything you want. They dont have to be your name. You pick what they look like as well. It can not be super complex. Remember these badges are 30 x 33 there isn't a lot of room. Another thing, if you get twenty badges, a GA will make you a custom badge for free.

Will we? OK... 10,000 DBs is a bit steep, isn't it? Anyway, 'for free' isn't proper English. It's either 'for nothing' or just 'free'...Sorry, I'm part of the grammar police...

damn.... I have 19 badges...... but since I am rich enough for a badge.... I'd like one.... It better be good as it will replace my current memzak badge..... it must be black, flaming, bleeding etc.
just something cool..... Once it is done and I am satisfied, I'll make the transaction...

Haha, if memzak claimed his badge before you did, he would've actually been the first to get 20 badges . . .

Actually no. This custom badge he just bought raises his number to 20. I already had 20 before I got my custom badge, because I get it for free for reaching 20 in the first place. Am I right, or am I right?

I find this to be a ripoff. 10,000 DBs for a tiny pixelated image?
And getting 20 badges requires me to do stuff, like, think.(How many badges do I have left? AMGZ TOOHARDTOFIGUREOUT) And work. Seriously, work. And I'll have to do stuff.

Well, right now we have quite a bit of stuff to do, I dont want to be making a bunch of these. Maybe once the skin is more complete I will lower the price.
Also, pixelated? What badge are you looking at?

I'm thinking not a lot of custom badges will be made. People like SM and GV, who would probably have almost enough don't seem to use badges that much. I figured TSL and Memzak would do requests.

Seriously, work. And I'll have to do stuff. Well, we are actually supposed to be thinking and working here, as this is a...well, since Community is the collection of the anti-intelligentsia...group of those with common interests in Japanese Java games made by ha55ii. Badges are supposed to encourage others to be exemplary, and one can be exemplary by using mind and effort. If those don't comprise exemplary, badge-worthy actions, then why have badges in the first place? This is part of why I'm not so particular about having custom name badges count as official badges. Well, right now we have quite a bit of stuff to do, I dont want to be making a bunch of these. Maybe once the skin is more complete I will lower the price. Also, pixelated? What badge are you looking at? He means that he is ultimately receiving a new pattern of light on his computer monitor/laptop screen. That's what all of this physically is, and we should never forget that; however, we should also remember that there exists meaning behind all of these pixels of light. I'm thinking not a lot of custom badges will be made. People like SM and GV, who would probably have almost enough don't seem to use badges that much. I figured TSL and Memzak would do requests. Indeed, I do not jump at every badge of which I am or may be worthy. Do I deserve the Respect Badge? Do I get the Helpful Badge? Is Outstanding Achievement too much to ask? I should probably get the Knowledge Badge. I ought to get my hands on a Sub-Board Owner Badge. Why don't I get number badges? et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...I figure that my actions, ethics, and character speaks for itself, and that I don't need badges to tell anyone what I have done, what I am like, or what I am capable. I am willing to bet that Sandmaster shares such an argument, although I have no right to speak for him alone...

I find this to be a ripoff. I agree. I think custom badges should be 5,000 DB's, like the member boards. Barely anyone has 10,000+ Dan-Balls. Heck, even I don't have that much. I was the one to 20 before you. =] So therefore you are not the first. Well, you don't really count because you're first to pretty much everything here, lol. But besides you, I was the first. Whenever I scream to the world "I'm the first to such-and-such!!!!!!!!!!!", it's understood that TheListo got there before me. I figure that my actions, ethics, and character speaks for itself, and that I don't need badges to tell anyone what I have done, what I am like, or what I am capable. I am willing to bet that Sandmaster shares such an argument, although I have no right to speak for him alone... Wise words, GV.

I can't help but disagree to this. Being able to buy custom, OFFICIAL badges is just plain wrong. The purpose of badges is to signify achievement, not to signify wealth (excepting the 10K Dan-Ball badge). I do think it would be okay for the 20-badge thing, though.
