Achievement Discussion

Please discuss Ogre Achievements here.

Great work on this Hragged!

On the monthly painting challenges....are you wanting to do completed challenges starting from now....or award them for work previously completed?

A lot of the automatic Achievements are retroactive so feel free to do it either way (same goes for any other Achievements like this!)

Can we count games played on universal battle?

Don't forget to PM me with your chosen Big Name (from the book or make one up) if you unlock an Achievement with a bonus Big Name attached!

Yes that's fine, although they wouldn't count for any Hobby Achievements obviously

Is there anyway to have the achievements topics hidden from the show new posts thread as they take up quite a bit of space when ever I come on

I've now hidden Achievement topics from the "Show unread posts since last visit" link for everyone. If you want to see those topics there, you can change it here.

I can't do the same for "Show new replies to your posts" unfortunately, but as a workaround for now you could perhaps delete your posts from the Achievement topics (you wouldn't lose your Achievements). Can you delete your posts here or will it require me taking a trip to the labyrinth of Stronghold permissions?

Edit: or I could purge replies to the unlocking topics every so often, keeping them isn't really necessary I suppose...

Gave out Ogre Club Achievements for posting in the Clubs topic prior to the launch of the Achievements system.  They were mostly given in bulk to numerous members so your automatic Achievement System PM for that one might be a bit screwy...

Thanks that's great. The replies to my posts doesn't bother me as I barely use that one.

I have a questions about some of the Hobby achievements.

10. Gut-Barger (unlock here)
Enter an Ogre Stronghold competition. Bonus Pet Gnoblar!

Which competitions does this refer too?

11. Website Contributor (unlock here)
Submit photos, artwork, an article or a download to the Ogre Stronghold's main website. Bonus Pet Gnoblar!

Again a little silly of me but I take photos like in my gnoblog count for this one?

13. Wiki Contributor (unlock here)
Add or edit content on the Ogre Stronghold's Ogre Wiki. Bonus Pet Gnoblar!

I can't seem to find any ogre wiki section, perhaps I'm just being blind. 

Sorry if I am just being a little silly but any help with these would be appreciated.  I don't want to cheat myself into getting achievements I haven't earned. 

Which competitions does this refer too?

No competitions are currently running, but I'd like to get around to running one soon!

No, just content submitted to the main website pages such as Articles, Gallery and Downloads.

I haven't launched it yet (though we used to have one a couple of years ago!)

Ok thanks for the reply Hragged.  Very helpfull.

Umm, this is a wonderful idea!! (so excited, this should give me a kick in the rear to do more painting for sure)

I'm interested in this wiki very much...can't wait till it's up and running!

Hello guys I was wondering is there a way to get my ogre big names to show up anywhere other then just on my profile currently?  Cheers muchly.
