If you have earned these milestones prior to this announcement, they will be counted as well. What follows is a list of all CURRENT badges, and how to obtain them:

Well, if not you can pm any of the head admins lol. But, I WILL explain a bit about the groups of these badges, cuz most of them are judged similarly. So without further ado here we go:
Yearly Badges - Yearly Badges are decided by the Head Admins, and are decided in the days following Christmas and announced on New Years Day each year. There are a few rules for these however:
1. The same person/topic/post/character cannot hold the prize for more than one year running, to allow fairness in the voting process. You MAY however, win the badge multiple times, just not consecutively.
2. You CANNOT bribe or talk your way into these positions, those who try to bribe or force there way into these badges will be eliminated from the list
3. Even after you've finished your term as current holder of these badges, you keep the badge on your profile as proof of your term as badge holder.
Monthly Badges - Pretty much the same as the last one, only the handing out of these badges happen the first of every month, and they are discussed about in the last week of each month. The rules are exactly the same:
1. The same person/topic/post/character cannot hold the prize for more than one month running, to allow fairness in the voting process. You MAY however, win the badge multiple times, just not consecutively.
2. You CANNOT bribe or talk your way into these positions, those who try to bribe or force there way into these badges will be eliminated from the list
3. Even after you've finished your term as current holder of these badges, you keep the badge on your profile as proof of your term as badge holder.
Posting Badges - These badges are earned by reaching certain ranks, which coincide with current posts amount. The current ranks and the posts amounts required to reach them are as followed:
Newb - 1 Post
Beginner - 10 Posts
Student - 100 Posts
Rookie - 1000 Posts
Novice - 10 000 Posts
Master - 100 000 Posts
God - 999 999 Posts
Badge Badges - These badges are earned by the amount of badges you have. The amounts are listed in the badge names. There's also monthly and yearly most badges earned, as well as the person who has the most badges over all.
Character/Rp Badges - So far the only badge for this is actually making yourself your first character. Pretty basic lol.
Membership Badges - These badges are earned by the time you're actively a member. The time periods are 1 day, 1 year, 1 month, 1 week (yeah I know not in order, sue me -.-)
Other/Misc Badges - These badges are ones that you just sorta earn for fun lol. These ones can be earned multiple times, and will probably be added to in the future. Btw, a Service Badge is given to members who have shown exceptional service to this site, WITHOUT being a staff member. It's kinda like a Purple Heart or a Good Conduct Medal, you know?
So yeah, those are the badges and how to get them. If you have any questions PM the head admins: Vermilion Emperor Kouzai and Earth King Lu.
