And once again, the badges are mostly medium. Why, when it's bad enough you have to submit missing badge reports for badges in Flash games as it is, would they continue to put the badges on medium instead of easy!?

I submitted a screenshot to the missing botd report thing. Did anyone else get their badge from today yet from the missing botd report feature? I'm wondering if they're running late...

You were answered in the other thread you posted this in.

Does this mean that my guesstimate is correct (2-7 days)?

Making them Medium means most folks won't bother as it's extra hassle to get the medium AND send in the missing BOTD email. Saves a lot of work for them. Or I'm wearing my conspiracy hat again :D

Last week, I was up late and completed and submitted one shortly after midnight. It was awarded before I woke up in the morning. But I've also had them take a few days. Remember that there's only one person handling them (last I heard), and that person is probably pretty busy. Just be patient. Even if they're late, you'll still get your Kongpanion(s), Shiny if appropriate, and whatever bonuses are due. (Last week's Shiny wasn't Shiny on the day that I'd normally earn it, but it got there.)
And remember that this system is temporary. I'm not sure what the target date currently is, but I think that somewhere around the first of next month, the BOTD picker will start picking non-Flash games only, and then the badges will work the way they used to. You can make it until then. It won't always be easy, but we're all in this together -- including that poor Support tech who has to award all of our BOTDs manually until the picker gets updated. How about a round of applause for that person!

It can take even longer. One badge took two weeks to be awarded. It was frustrating for sure. But on average, yes, you're correct. Anywhere from a day or two, all the way up to a week or more.

She definitely deserves a round of applause (and a raise, but let's be honest, that isn't likely to happen) because she's alone in a sea of chaos. Not only does she award ALL the missing badges, but she also answers all emails. There used to be two separate TEAMS handling badges and emails, but MTG in its infinite wisdom (insert massive sarcasm here) fired everyone but her. So she's doing the job of MULTIPLE people in two different sections. I know I get very frustrated when the badges take more than a few days, but that's my temper and is on me; I know it's not her fault. Sometimes I just still need to vent though, hence my venting here when it's taking a long time. She's doing the absolute best that she can considering the circumstances.

Thank god Sunday's game is playable! And it's one of my favorites. I love the games by Esthetix! They're so campy, but they're fun! And Sunday's, including screenshot will mean I will have earned five badges! Though, four of them I had to submit screenshots for. Only one was previously earned, though had I known Sunday's game existed, I would have played it way before now and earned it long ago. I'll miss games like this being part of the rotation!

I sure hope that the support staff can award past botds in the week so that it *counts* towards the botd count for a Shiny Kongpanion, because otherwise this will suck for both of us.

She can. I had a badge which was my fifth BOTD and it was awarded two weeks after the BOTD, and she made the Kongpanion shiny. You might have to contact her through support after you receive your badge if the Konpanion wasn't made shiny when the badge is awarded, but the Kongpanion can be made shiny after.

Apparently, MTG has just acquired NinjaKiwi, makers of the Bloons Tower Defense series, Tower Keepers, and a few other games. I play a few of them pretty regularly, and I'm not looking forward to seeing what MTG does to that organization.

I thought there was like, some law or something against creating monopolies. I mean, isn't that why they tore apart Ma Bell back in the 80s?

Local vs. international laws, monopoly size, bribes, etc. :/
Although their hits... err, acquisitions hurt for me, they don't seem very big globally. Or, i just don't know, heh...

I don't beleive any bribes were needed. I doubt that the aquisition of Ninja Kiwi by MTG gives MTG a monopoly of computer games (or even tower defense games). There are lots of other options to play tower defense games other than from Kongregate, MTG, or Ninja Kiwi.

That was just an example, lol.
OK, back to discussing kongpanions now?

This week is the first time since the very first Kongpanion that I havent reached 5 or more BotD. There are no new Kongpanions but still this is an achievement for me I think. After so many weeks (even setting up other people when I cant be on PC during holidays) I can finally rest. And it was an amazing ride. Thanks to those who made the Kongpanions, the BotD-System and of course the amazing games we could play. Gone but not forgotten.

Congratulations on your achievement! It's definitely been a long journey for those who've went through the entire journey. Perhaps truly, the real Kongpanions were the fun and games we had along the way.

Yes! I came here to ask the same question. I still need shiny Artie.

Wait, all you have to do to get Friday's badge is fricking login? Why can't they all be like that? lol
Now I just need tomorrow's and Wednesday's and I already submitted missing badge reports for both, so with those two, I can get this week's Kongpanion Shiny. Cool.
