 ===  Opinions from WarGear threads ===
- I feel it's better to have many small attainable rewards rather than a few with lots of space in between.
+* I feel it's better to have many small attainable rewards rather than a few with lots of space in between.
+* Some achievements should not be tied to being 'good' at wargear.  This will allow everyone (even not so great players) to have something to strive for.
+* Achievements could be used as a way to simplify the site for newbies.  i.e. Once reaching achievement X,Y, or Z, yellow difficulty maps become available, similar for red difficulty.  This is called 'Progressive Disclosure' - from the wikipedia article: "By disclosing information progressively, you reveal only the essentials and help the user manage the complexity of feature-rich sites or applications."  This is a more broad topic than just achievements, and could be discussed separately.
+* Achievements could represent a general achievement, that has a standard title, that gets modified by bronze, silver, gold, platinum as the N goes up.
+Here are some examples of achievements that could be achievable by average players:
+* Achievements for playing N games/turns. - adversary
+* Achievements for eliminating N players - executioner
+* N Posts - communicator
+* Vote in a mapmaking competition - Suffragist
+* Publish a map - designer
+* Finish a game on N different boards - completist
+This way even players who are not that great can get 'rewarded' for time spent playing.
+Obviously there would also be achievements for skill in wargear:
+*Achievements for ranks, champion points, etc. - warlord
+Some things to think about:
+http://gamification.org/wiki/Game_Design#Achievements
+http://gamification.org/wiki/Game_Design#Discovery - This ties in to having unlockable areas on wargear.
+http://gamification.org/wiki/Game_Design#Progression - Player profile page, should show what you need to do to achieve next achievement/title.
+http://gamification.org/wiki/Game_Design#Status - Titles/achievements should be displayed next to player name in as many contexts as possible.
