Why don't Armor Games apply a Badge system with requirements in games. That would make it more fun. And get us more users as well.

A badge system like how Kongregate has? I mean that would be a nice little feature. People could get AP for getting achievements in games. I'd say they should add them. Most people only play games on here. So that would be a good little addition into AG3.

And I don't expect people to reply in a matter of 6 minutes, sorry. :/

6 minutes! There goes my watching eyes! It would be nice and people would actually play games instead of writing random comments and rating them just for AP. I hope a moderator/admin sees this. It could change a lot.

rating them just for AP.

That should be taken out. Too many rate spammers.

writing random comments

Most comments I leave for games are pretty long. At least one paragraph. They have a spam filter though that deletes short comments. They also have Moderators that delete spam.

The badges sound good. I don't think they will add it though. Or maybe their thinking about it. I can't really say.

If they had badges though. This site would be pretty much perfect.

Pretty much perfect and pretty much cool. It will help people get more interest to play games. And shine up our profiles.

How about an ''un-flag'' option. Just in case a person accidentally flags a comment.

I don't think the Administrators actually see flagged comments unless more then 1 person has flagged it. That would be an okay feature I guess. Really it's unnecessary. The badges would be the only thing there I can really think of right now.

lol Ghost. The badge thing would make AG more cooler. And it would be nice if they got better looking badges than Kongregate. By the way mate do you by any chance have an account there?

The link to it is on my profile. But I don't use it much. Only thing that I rarely use it for are the games.

Only thing I would enjoy in AG3 are the badges, better layout of the forums, better looking profiles, better background all around, whole bunch of new features. That's about it.
Different points layout too. For example:
2 AP for forum post
1 AP for comments(comments on user profiles don't count though)
No AP for rating since you can easily just spam those.
I'd say keep the merits. It's a nice little thing. I just don't understand why they would remove those.
Well if they keep them 25 AP for each merit still. I just want them to add the up vote button on comments though so they can detect merits easier.
Submitting games stays at 20 AP.

Yea. I agree with the Rating spam. Here is what should be of the badges :-
Easy Badge- 10 AP
Medium badge- 20 AP
Hard Badge-30 AP
Endurance badge- [get until a certain hard point of the game] 40 AP.

You could come op with some more ideas and edits on this.

The easy and medium ones could be a tad less. It would just be too easy to get those.
Many people would just skyrocket in points.
Maybe having the easy one as 5AP & the medium one as 12AP. Somewhere around there.
For me right now they other ones seem fine. Since they'll be difficult to get.

Seems like a good chart.
I just wonder on how they'll intertwine these into the games.

1. How is this related to video games in any way?
2. AG3. Wait for it. It will have cool new stuff you can see in the section about it. I do believe there will be achievements. I also do believe there will be some relevance between your gaming score and your profile.

Locked due to to above.
