Hi everyone,

We’re excited to introduce a brand new event called Badge Quest!

Badge Quest will take place over the first 3 weeks of December, and will have additional point levels based on your feedback.

There are four (4) ways you can earn badges during Badge Quest. Whether you try for one, or for them all, we hope you’ll have some fun while supporting your fellow Contributors on their own quests for a badge. :heart:

Here are the badges you can earn:

Badge 1: Participation Badge

Receive a participation badge by making at least 100 contribution points at any time during Badge Quest, from December 1 @ 12:00 AM UTC to December 21 @ 11:59 PM UTC.

Badge 2: Journey Badge [NEW!]

Receive a journey badge for every week of Badge Quest by making at least 100 contribution points per week. The journey badges will take you from the forests (Week 1) through the meadows and rivers (Week 2) until you reach the castle (Week 3)! NOTE: Please check the weekly schedule under “General Guidelines” below to make sure you understand the start and end dates & times for every week.

Option 3: Event Badge

Receive an event badge based on your total contribution points earned throughout the duration of Badge Quest. You must reach the minimum number of contribution points to reach any of these point levels: 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000 or 15000. You will be awarded the highest level event badge you are eligible for, and all the event badges leading up to it.

Option 4: Top 100 Contributors Badge

Aim to earn a Top 100 Contributors badge by making the most contribution points during Badge Quest! The Top 100 Contributors will be proportionate to the % of Segmenters and Subtitlers participating in the event.

We will also have a weekly Discussion post where you may share which badge you’re going after while spreading good vibes and cheer to your fellow Contributors!

Full details are available below.

How to participate:

  • Earn a badge by meeting any of the following badge criteria:
    • At least 100 contribution points at any time during Badge Quest to earn a participation badge
    • At least 100 contribution points during any of the assigned weeks of Badge Quest to earn a journey badge
    • Reach a minimum contribution point level by the end of Badge Quest to earn an event badge:
      • Point levels: 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000, 15000
    • Be one of the Top 100 Contributors by the end of Badge Quest to earn a Top Contributor badge
  • Share the badge(s) you’re pursuing in the dedicated Discussions thread each week, and encourage 2 others by clicking the heart to “like” their post! (optional)

General guidelines:

  • Badge Quest runs from December 1, 2024 00:00 UTC – December 21, 2024 23:59 UTC. Convert your local time zone to UTC here.
  • Each week starts at Sunday 00:00 and ends Saturday 23:59, in UTC time.
  • Contributions can be segments, subtitles or both.
  • Badges will be awarded 7 – 10 days after Badge Quest ends on December 21, 2024

Check out the FAQ page, which will be posted on November 23, 2024 (PST), for suggested shows if you’re looking for a new project to contribute on. New titles will be added to the FAQ page throughout Badge Quest.

Very nice to have a new event but there is still no official position of you regarding the fact that right now you reward your subbing contributors in two different ways: 1 point and 2 points. I thought that maybe you would accept the mistake you made, and you would fix things before an event to have it fair for everyone (side fact: I think that until now we have ~4 people hiding from the leaderboard after the hot discussions we had here about the false need of the OL TE role rewarded with 2 points).

At this moment I stopped being bothered by the new OL TE role but I still can’t agree with having it rewarded with 2 points. And since you keep a total silence about it I guess I will have to use it starting with this event… and the reason it’s very clear…

Anyway, thank you for this new event.

and what does that change? The best they’re going to get is a picture! A little badge that doesn’t do anything more than a picture to stick in an album, what’s wrong with that?

I don’t know at all what you mean by “hiding from the leaderboard”, but I fully agree that two OL editor roles is a false need, and the double contribution point is an extremely bad idea.

That’s why I’ve created a poll. Let’s see how many of us will support the existing system (even with badge quests and subathlons luring them to use it to cheat) and how many would want to go back to the more fair “one point for each contribution” system we had before. Let our voices be heard.
