I don't see why not, that would be interesting. But than achievements shouldn't worth that many AP, maybe just a few.
..."Yay 250 Armor Points! That was easy and it only took a minute!" Do you get the point?
No. It takes more than a minute to hack a game, assuming that you know how to do it. I tried to do it, managed to do it only with that "monkey shooting balloons" game because a friend showed me how to. Hacking on your own takes programing skill. It ain't fun cheating anyway.
The problem with achievements on ArmorGames (I'm on Kong so I would know :P)
- Kongregate is slow. Part of it are the achievements, and I'm pretty sure ArmorGames can only take a little at a time. - The head admins (and developers?) have to add the achievements them selves, having 5-10 achievements per game would result in having 7,500-15,000 achievements. Still if you don't mean ALL the games, it still hurts - On Kongregate there is an API intergration system that allows you to submit scores, share, etc. The developer has to put the API themselves if they want the game to be able to access highscores and achievements. I'm not sure if there is an easier way, but if there was Kongregate would have used it? - Looking at previous threads about this, I'd think people would consider this as "copying and unoriginal" - And hacking. People on Kongregate hack. Even though it is sometimes obvious, you can't prove it. So if someone does hack, they're still be sticking around. If someone has a awesome score (or achievement), people will accuse of hacking and the innocent person can't prove it, ruining his/her reputation.
So really, I think achievements would kill ArmorGames.
Why not just make your own, like I did? Come up with diverse and challenging/humorous achievements to show your friends! Or are you in it just for the AP bonus? Isn't it better just saying you worked to get that achievement rather that getting it because it gives you more AP?

I'd feel lonely if I did that :P Also not many people have as much creativity as you.
Oh yeah, another comment: You can go ahead and create an account on Newgrounds or Kongregate and show off you achievements there. Many people on ArmorGames have a Kongregate account (thanks to some people *cough*don't look at me*cough*) so you can easily show off your achievements to other ArmorGamers! If you just don't like Kongregate or Newgrounds, you can create an account just for the achievements.
It's not even hacking all you need is cheat engine and a calculator.
There is no point achievement are good and all but who is going to implement it? Also the only games that would have the achievements would be new games or games that got get re-edited by the developer. This would just be one big hassle to follow the flock and copy ideas.
I personally don't need another achievement site because I probably won't care there are enough already. It would be too much work and would end up impacting AG in a overall negative way. So just give it a break.
