I don't know what we know about the Battalion, but are they from the Shard?

Also do we know if the note sender is Mender Ramiel?

Its one thing to ask a single player to perform some degenerate behavior to get a badge, whether its killing thousands of monkeys for no reason or whatever. If you really want the badge, you'll complain about it but you'll do it. Its another thing to make badges that require teams, like completing Positron's task force.

Combining the two is problematic because you have to ask an entire team to do something unrelated to the primary task. Even the old school Master badges asked teams to at least do something that didn't interfere with running the task force: don't die. You can ask someone to not die, please.

But Master of Keyes? That requires volunteer bunnies to hop around avoiding patches, an activity that isn't strictly necessary to complete the trial. And it requires a league to deliberately shoot at the thing you're not supposed to shoot at for the sole purpose of taking more damage for no reason. Master of Underground requires asking an entire league to give up an additional half hour of their lives creeping through tunnels and shooting at bombs instead of just setting them off and getting to the end of the trial.

My main Hero badger has all the badges (except for MoMoM, working on Nightmares) and the PvP ones. My main Villain is still working on the MoKeyes (Loves a Challenge and Avoids the Green Stuff how I hate you both), MoMoM (Nightmares) and the PvP ones. I'm really, really, REALLY getting sick of Keyes...

When badging was something you could either do solo or do with a team where the badge requirements were nominally parallel with doing well at the team task in general, badging was at worst an extra activity that wasn't antagonistic to the rest of the game. But badges like Preservation Specialist put badgers in actual conflict with other players: others have to suffer for you to get that badge, and unnecessarily if they are not badgers. Master of Lambda has similar silly requirements that require asking an entire league to do something stupid just so the badgers can get the badge.

I think that's a problem. The devs need to institute a cardinal rule on badges: badges that require teams will not require degenerate behavior from the league. Badges that can be acquired solo can ask the players to do anything the devs wants, but badges that require teams should never require badges to force non-badgers to do blatantly unproductive things.

Not been awarded a single badge since the start of Freedom, just wondered if they were a thing of the past, and now we are only getting badges on every year?

Which one?
Score spread?


I'm going for the 49'ers cause they have prettier color options, Holiday colors. Plus they have warm weather. Jealous.
