Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot Launches User Achievements
In a concerted effort to compete with more popular MMOs like World of Warcraft, we've decided to add an Achievement system to Slashdot. We've retroactively granted around 900,000 achievements to our logged in users. You can view them from your user page, or you can see my list if you're curious what a REAL achiever looks like. Many achievements have been sprinkled throughout the system and are awaiting discovery by dedicated Slashdot users, but a starter list of achievements is in the FAQ. I'll toss you one freebie: you can register your wow main for points if you're that kind of person.
Now go forth and achieve!

Posting to get my achievement.
Um. I don't think you thought this one all the way through...
Okay, this is an attempt to get the April Fool achievement by posting a comment in the April Fool's thread. However, in order for it not to be a completely wasted posting in an otherwise insightful discussion, I am going to try for multiple achievements in this one post (well, at least two achievements).
The first achievement will be the "April Fool". Easy.
The second achievement will hopefully be the "Comment Modded Up" achievement, assuming someone sees this and is generous enough to mod it up.
The third achievement will hopefully be the "Comment Modded Down" achievement. The order of this and the previous achievement is unimportant. So, come on mods, abuse your powers. You know you wanna.
I suspect that the "Score 5" achievement is unlikely, but hey, I can dream.
I'm not sure what else I can get in just one comment, so let's just roll the dice and see what happens.
