_EW_

She has Forum Veteran, Helpful, Mod contest winner, and LF staffer. She has the display option turned off, however. You can see what badges she has in her profile by clicking the 'badges' tab.

Edit: If you're wondering why no action is taken on some people, please re-read the first post. That will usually explain everything for you. The prime reasons for not handing one out is no one's seconded the motion, the nominee's name isn't spelled correctly, or there are no links for us to look at to evaluate the recommendation. The other reason we don't get to it immediately is we've been busy keeping you all out of trouble in other parts of LFN, or we all-volunteer staff have had an attack of Real Life.

Psyk0Sith, Qliveur, Darth333, TriggerGod, and oldflash's recommendations have been brought to the staff. Emperor Devon is not currently eligible to receive any badges.

Badges given out within the last few weeks:
Ten year veteran!: Nute Gunray
Forum Veteran: GonkH8er, Thrik, EnderWiggin, mimartin, stingerhs
Roleplayer: stingerhs, CommanderQ

Wait, I don't understand. Are nominations, both seconded by another member and provided with evidence by the OP, completely irrelevant for the Jester and Notable Contributor badges when it goes to staff, and are solely based on staff decision alone? Wouldn't that mean that there would still have to be a public nomination in this thread, along with links and and others seconding the nomination?

If that is so, then there's a number of both Jester and Notable Contributor badges which haven't been publicly nominated, or even seconded with evidence provided, for that matter.

They did an excellent job, and made the thread a great success

I have to second that. It was a very successful RP which I took the time to read seeing that I'm in the second one. The posts were well crafted and they all worked well together.

No, they're not irrelevent--we'll use them in the threads, and it's impossible for staff to know every sngle person here. Your nominations are going to continue to be very important in bringing deserving people to our attention.

Right. We know that. That's part of the reason why we're making some of these changes. Some of the people who received the badges when they first came out were obviously deserving and didn't need much discussion. There was also a lot of staff discussion about the badges when we first gave them out, and people's names came up through that route.

This is a new venture for the staff, too. We're learning through this process as issues come up. I ask that you please have patience when we make changes. They aren't done lightly or without staff discussion.

So Darth333's humble, then? I like that. I apologize for the unnecessary nomination; I should have done some better research.

We have exciting, major, old school news coming soon. Stay tuned here for more info!!

I suppose this has nothing to do with badge recommendations, no?

you certainly sound like some over-excited LA employee who will be announcing something "EXCITING AND MAJOR" on monday and has been dropping hints all weekend.

...now that I think about it...

You would be wrong.

Are you getting rid of all badges except for the ones that were already given out?

[Jae Onasi]

No, because that would not be exciting. That would whizz people off.

[EnderWiggin]

So how long are you going to make us wait until this "big news"?

You're giving back our YOINK STICKS?! FROM THE FORUM BATTLE RPG?!!

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

give me all the badges and let me add new and exciting badges whenever i please

It would be exciting if you gave us one week between the announcement and the change to get those badges before it's too late.

As tempting as that might be...

[Evil Q]

Agreed, at this point.

[GTA:SWcity]

I nominate Rhett for the Helpful Badge.
http://lucasforums.com/showpost.php?...14&postcount=2

This solved a network connundrum for me since my network skills are not as stellar as they should be...and he wasn't even addressing me in that post!
(Instruction manuals are not as helpful as they ought to be.)

Here's to you Rhettski!

[EnderWiggin]

I'll second that.

_EW_

[Chevron 7 locke]

I'd like to nominate Tysyacha for the role-player's badge. Tysch has contributed many wonderful Rps to the Dantooine theatre company and recently finished one.

The posts he/she makes are always entertaining and her portrayal as a corrupted Bastila was perfectly executed in my opinion.

And here are a few examples of the posts.

Star Wars: Fugatives

Check Posts 1 and 360. The first and second to last page.

Tysch also came up with an excellent ending to the Rp.

[PastramiX]

DarthStoney for the Veteran Modder badge; his contributions to Holowan are innumerable, and has shown plenty of enough talent with M4-78 and now TSLRCM.

I suppose that the same badge can be awarded to zbyl2 as well, with his contributions to TSLRCM coupled his own restoration projects that he's completed.

[Evil Q]

I second both nominations. Stoney and zbyl2 have both worked tirelessly to improve and restore TSL and both deserve recognition and high praise.

[Stream]

I third Stoney and zbyl2 for the same reasons.

Badges have been awarded to both of them.

I would like to suggest Revan_Malak for a 'helpful' badge, for his excellent signature work in the Republic Commando forums, and for being very friendly while doing so.

Some examples - here, here, here and here.

I'll happily second that - I've enjoyed seeing RM's work for quite a while, and he's been most helpful (and enthusiastic) in providing me with personalised signatures.

[Jeff]

Awarded!

[Darth InSidious]

I think that the Veteran Modder badge ought to be awarded to stoffe, Darth333, RedHawke, ChAiNz.2da, Darkkender, deathdisco, gameunlimited, Talchia, oldflash, T7Nowhere, Prime, tk102, Shem, and svösh, of course.

Someone should probably be nominated for the Veteran Fan-fic Author badge, and off the top of my head, Jae Onasi, Bee Hoon, JediMaster12 and machievelli are all eminently eligible.

I'll second ALL of those - I've used and enjoyed mods from all of those mentioned, and the friendly help and advice provided by the last four goes a long way in improving the work of many a writer, and I can't imagine the CEC without them.

I third the above, and also would add Achilles, Darth Insidious, Doc Valentine (Gsccc), Mono_Giganto and Quanon for the Veteran Modder awards, they are all still active, are helpful, have pushed KotOR modding forward and written tutorials.

In that case, I'll second those recommendations too.

[mimartin]

I fourth Darth Insidious recommendations and third J7 recommendations.

[Jeff]

All nominations have been awarded!

[PastramiX]

Don't know if this has been looked over or denied, buuuuuut...

I would like to nominate Rtas Vadum for the Helpful! Badge. I am new here and Rtas Vadum has helped me on numerous occasions. Most importantly I think that Rtas Vadum did not always tell what I wanted to hear but the "correct" info. I am very thankful to have a forum like this with such nice and accepting people. Thank you all.
