guillavoie | 1,208 Events Team · Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Dear Sages, We're happy and excited to introduce some new Charms concept related to the Completion Threads on VGS. These will be rewarded to members who are participating in the Completion Threads by meeting the requirements stated to beat the games on the list. Each Completion Thread will have its own participation Charms representing the controller of the console played. Here's an update of the Charms (64x64 format) with all consoles and their golden/silver/bronze variations (the 00 is where the year will be). Big thanks to @CasualCart for making these up, they are terrific. But.... there's a twist in the way these Charms will be rewarded. The complete list of games will need to be beaten for the Charms to be distributed to all participants. So you guys are better to be ready to tackle the hardest challenges on those lists in order to have your Charms party! In addition to the participation Charms, we will add some performance Charms to reward the best contributors in each thread. First, second and third best contributors will be rewarded with a special Charms, respectively in golden, silver and bronze colors. The exact measures to determine who are the best contributors are left to the members running each of the Completion Threads (some already have points distribution system in place). Feel free to discuss and ask questions regarding these Charms or about the Completion Threads in general. We all hope this will give you guys extra motivation in beating more video games!!!

NESfiend | 1,515 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Really like the idea of the charms, but the "in order" part is concerning. I assume the order is alphabetical? That would pretty well ruin the completionist thread for me, and I assume some others who have jobs, kids, etc. The NES thread provides a good excuse to play through some of my favorite games and feel like I'm contributing to something. I have no delusion that I will ever be overall points winner, but its fun to contribute some harder titles that others probably wouldn't enjoy much. With my schedule, I couldn't monitor it and then drop everything when it's time to play thru american gladiators. I think that system would narrow out an already thin list of participants. We have 20ish for NES now. I suspect the order format would take that down to 5ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I never meant that the games needed to be beaten 'in order', but I admit the way it was written was confusing so I just edited that part out.

"in order to get X you must do y". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
