After a little banter and then some encouragement from Ed, I'm putting the question out there for my fellow BrickPickers if you have any ideas for Awards that can be earned and given to members?

 

Be sure to check out the Awards page before making a suggestion.

<- Mr. Brick but really an award could be a trophy or cup for winning a brickpicker event. Fantasy sports, Investment game from the summer are two examples. Could be a trophy for first and ribbons for runner ups? That would be exclusive

Or a ribbon for winning the trivia challenge? But that's a one day challenge.

Ex Astris, Scientia.

 

I'm totally all over this idea...

 

BTW For the record, this is post #1000!

Thanks! It was either the contest, or writing some SQL schema upgrade scripts. Lego wins again!

Not sure if this is the right place, but I'd like to nominate SnowmanOlaf for the 007 badge for sharing TRU.com inventory levels.  Most recently, on the Cinderella's Castle thread.

awwww cool! Can I have my first award? How about Ms. Brick? I'm too new to earn much yet!

Bam! ^_^

Feels kind of funny to ask if I can be a Mr. Brick... because, well, I've always been a Mr. Brick. But can I?

Of course you can.

Just out of curiosity, why does Mr. Brick look line some old dude with grey hair?

Of course you can.

Thanks!

Maybe the gray hair is supposed to make him look dignified or experienced?

I just finished this thread and had a blast reading through some of the recommendations.

 

Napoleon had a quote once... "A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon".

 

The badges are awesome, seriously. I like the idea of expanding them more a lot.

it's the lego emazer minifig

With the degree and quality of sarcastic posts around here these days, I think a "sarcastic poster" award would be fun. Can't think of a fun graphic for it, but will give it some thought.

Hahah perfect!!

 

Perhaps "sarcastic posts" could include a "sarcastic emoticon" or image to go with them. For some (certainly not all) folks with English as a second language, I believe some of our sarcastic banter can be more confusing than anything. A unique emoticon after an intentionally-made sarcastic post could be helpful.

Rolled eyes on the smiley works for that or you can use the tilde.

 

I've always used the tilde to capture sarcasm.

See?

Not a suggestion for an award but with the mods constantly reminding members to keep threads on track, maybe some "thread derailer" awards should be handed out.
