...and just use different background colors for categories.

So, is it just me is it kind funny that Tom is a private? 

I'm pretty sure you could get away with a non-ranked promotion. CIC, Supreme Commander, Secretary of Defense, Generalissimo, Hall Monitor...

Super awesome system and really hits on what I have been hoping for for a while!  Nicely done tom and Raptor!

I'm a bit on the fence on Achievements that you can lose, but I think as long as there is a good balance between lifetime Achievements and ones that may fluctuate then it's a good path.

I look forward to future ones to go obtain too!

The borders are Green/Easy, Yellow/Moderate. Red/Hard, Black/Extreme.

The Ranks are all bordered in Gold

The Win Streaks and Kill Streaks are all bordered in Black, just because.

The backgrounds are by category with related categories having similar colors

I have already created a Commander In Chief icon for Tom he just needs to swap it out.

Our discussion regarding achievement types:

As I see it they fall under three types:

Progressive - These would be awarded when you reach a plateau and the medal would replace the previous medal, so you would only have one at a time.  Includes: Games Played, Games Won, Released boards, etc.

Status - These would also be awarded based on your current status and will go up and down the scale as your status changes.  Includes: Rank.

Collector - These would be awarded and could not be revoked. I see these awarded the first time it is achieved and only once.  Includes - Fog, Tournaments, Other.

The "Not Feeling The Love" medal doesn't show, apparently because "The" is capitalized in the png filename, but not in the link.

Great job, btw, Tom and Raptor. I'm taking great pride in my "Above Average" medal in particular.

Nice logic!  I'm a big fan of the Collector ones and if these got to be a decent size in number, then I think a new ranking/tracking list would be cool of Players with X Number and/or most decorated or something along those lines.

I really like my achievements cabinet! That killing spree achievement-get was super satisfying.  Good work guys!

This makes a lot of sense & I think should be added to the wiki list somehow.  I'll do it when I have time if it no one else has gotten to it yet.

Fog and Game Speed rankings have now been back-calculated and should be visible on your profile.

Maybe check the timing achievement.  My buddy Viking has definitely not been around for a year, but he's got the Veteran Achievement.

Looks fine - he joined on 24th Aug 2012.

Sorry Tom, seems like I'm unable to determine how long a year is. Were in 2014 aren't we... 

Don't mind me wasting your time... 

I believe there is a Bug somehow with the Friend Achievement...as I'm fairly certain I should have one (if for no other reason other than my Board Test Account Yurog "Friending" myself )...unless I'm missing something.
