Badges: Who thought they were a good idea, and where do you go to earn some of them?

Yes, you can retract it from a being a wiki image

but as @feyfayer found out if that was your first edit of a wiki to get the wiki editor badge, if you then remove it you also lose the wiki badge, it’s seem to know and keeps tabs which wiki it was and not just a case of give the badge out and that it, badge collected, done and dusted!

I wish I could remember. It was on DramaFever about the same time as Once Upon A Time In Saengchori . . . somewhere between 2010 and 2012.

Both dramas involved, as the English saying goes, the “city slickers” versus the “country bumpkins.” I’m thinking both were TvN. I just loved both.

This is for subber “zyxw” who wonders about the activity on a thread that appears to be very cut-and-dried but underneath is not . . .

This is a thread designed to lure the unwary into a life of utter silliness.

Since you have come into the strange soju-and-dried-squid tent that “Badges” has become . . . I think maybe I can get you on my sub-team.

I would contend that kielbasa and REAL sauerkraut can take on sundae and kimchi ANY day. Am I right?

Take a seat, have a snack!

I saw An Incomplete Life when I was in the middle of the final collapse of my efforts to keep going in a horrible civil service job.

The only K-drama I’ve ever seen that made me more and more depressed the more i laughed.

Or, Ever Night, I’ve watched both, keeping fingers crossed for a third. What’s his name? Fu Zi must return from the heavens, there is so many loose ends to tie.

I’m thinking more along the lines of those that do not have “any literal equivalence” and are also without “any plot/theme relevance.” I will try to find some examples…

I understand the concept. I’ve done several of those in my past life, errr, I mean, past work life.:sweat_smile:

I’m “addicted” to this “meal” and am already at 100.:rofl:

Indeed. Still, it could have been better… if there’s no “amnesia trope”:expressionless:

I sent an email to leerla73 in response to a “topic notification” and am quite serious as follows in the text I cut-and-pasted from the email, and I would love to know what folks think. . . .

Since I started the whole mess, I am going to suggest that the inmates continue to run the asylum by designing and promoting to the whole Viki-verse a set of badges that truly are communicative, loving, inclusive, and silly as all get-out.

This may require an “off-shoot topic,” but seriously, I am willing to “pony up” a certificate good toward a purchase on Etsy for the person chosen as having the “Viki-est” badges.

Obviously some very simple rules and standards need to be developed, but let’s go!
