Author	Topic: Awards: Put the values needed for the next level in the FAQ?	Post a Reply Back to Topics

MrGromit Rookie Author Washington Posts:46 Points:429,745 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Jul 21, 2012 12:55:11 AM Ignore MrGromit Report Abuse I scrolled through a few pages and didn't see anything on this topic, but forgive me if I didn't go back far enough if this has been asked and answered. FAQs are supposed to the answers to the most frequently asked questions, obviously, so perhaps this topic isn't asked often. I'm really curious as to how many of what types of reporting it takes to get to the next level in the nine different award categories. I've searched the site and have found nothing that offers this information. Since the site generates the advancements, there's obviously hard-coding going on to make those advancements. Any chance we could see those numbers? And is there any reason it can't be posted in the FAQ?

Scrapheap Champion Author Virginia Posts:14,561 Points:2,361,455 Joined:Sep 2006	Message Posted: Jul 21, 2012 9:45:23 AM Ignore Scrapheap Report Abuse A list of the requirements for the awards can be found in this thread. I would be nice if these were spelled out by the moderators somewhere but in that thread, they said they had no intention of doing so. Figuring out what is required is part of the game supposedly. Since that thread exists, they might just as well spell it out in a more official area, like the FAQ. Unfortunately, some of these are poorly programmed.
