Oh alright. xD
I just wanted to see if I could help out a bit, but it seems that greg outsmarts me with his fancy tools and programs. ;)

Actually he just uses Paint.NET, it is quite primitive of a tool compared to other graphics editing programs such as PhotoShot.
EDIT: I’m not quite sure my information about greg using paint.NET is correct. But It am pretty sure that is what he used.

I use Irfanview to change the sizes of images, but any program like that, will work.
Anyway, best of luck on No Comment getting badges. (I’m neutral on whether it should or not)

I would like to suggest a badge for a new game. It’s called **deadly 360** ([http://www.kongregate.com/games/Tryzx/deadly-360](http://www.kongregate.com/games/Tryzx/deadly-360)). The game is rate 3 and is third place on the weekly contest.
I thinks a Medium badge **Defeat the Boss** would be a good idea. The badge would be to defeat the boss, so to win the game.
edit:
**Win on every side** (medium-15 points)
Defeat the Boss to win the game.

Maybe Greg hasn’t been on for a while, or it doesn’t have a high enough rating.

You already get 15 points for making an account. Hard badges are worth 30 points, and 50 hours is nothing. Make it like a thousand hours and you’d have a more reasonable imp badge. Still, people would just idle. No challenge, no game, no badge.

This. SPecial badges like that should only be something like becoming a level 65,(Level 65 can’t be hacked to geet, badges only give up to level 50.) Or other extremely time taking things like that.

The thing is that there are many games out there that have badges even though they have a smaller rating than imperfect balance. Even so, in less than a week Imperfect was able to get over 200K plays even though it was displayed on the main page under “new hot games” for just one day.

The most likely answer is that Greg wants more stats from it and has yelled at the ttursas to do so. Right now Imperfect Balance only reports total diamonds, which isn’t useful if Greg want to add a medium badge for beating 10 levels or a hard badge for getting 8 achievements.

Hey all, thanks for great site!
Now for the badges – do you really think any other tower defense game should get any badges, ever? I mean – seriously, as theres nothing new about these games mostly, why not to give badges to games that are really inovative, fresh and just great (for example Primary) instead of (for example) mTD?

A big reason why games are given badges is because of their rating. If it is highly rated, it is a big potential for badges. Sure, it needs API with at least a few statistics, and shouldn’t be against the rules, and certainly some games with a lower rating get badges as well, but rating plays a vital role. If (yet another) tower defense has a high rating, and good API, then it’s pretty certain it could get badges. I don’t know if Primary has API and what the exact rating is, but if both are fine, then it definitely deserves badges as well.

Firstly, if you feel that you’re “wasting time” on them, you aren’t being forced into earning them and can stop at any time. Secondly, they may take a long time, but that’s part of the game, if you’re not having fun, stop playing. Thirdly, they may take time, but not all badges can be short, there needs to be variety. As for apparently not involving “skills,” where’d you get that from? They do involve skill, otherwise they wouldn’t get badges above the difficulty of easy.

Agreed, you’re never forced to get any badges anyway.

Agreed. There are a large scope of badge time ranges. One of the puzzle medium badges literally took 2 minutes, while that MTD game took 30 mins to get the easy badge, and the Heroes of Gaia badge took me 4 days. But I **agree** with the fact that they are congesting all these MMO’s at once, so when your finished with that Hard badge from Dream world, or whatever, that other MMO that got a badge that’s 7 days late. Besides, everyone loves that feeling of accomplishment when you achieved a badge, which is why Kongregate was an Epic Success.
It’s okay to add that occasional MMO badge once in a while, but not like three times in a row.
