I came up with this idea the other day, about earning "achievements" on MAL for doing certain things. A few months ago I came across this Achievement Generator, I never really did anything with it until I came up with this little idea. I thought it was sort of a fun way to get people more active in the MAL community, or just to show off past milestones I've completed for people to see. Either way, I haven't really sculpted this completely and wanted to hear some feedback on the idea. Would (or could), people actually want to get into this type of "game"? Or is it a dead end? I'm not really sure myself. Any feedback would be appreciated.

P.S. I think the Gold for each one might be a little off, might have to change them since they seem sort of awkward.

Cool idea, It might but fun. But it could be so easily abused xD

Yeah it would be a fantastic Idea! although, the achievement system would be easily abused just like TakeshiKun stated!.

Thanks, I thought that Hyouka one was clever too.

Thanks! I just enjoy coming up with clever ones for people to put on their profiles. If you have any requests or anything, I'm all ears!

You could easily make your own design. Honestly, it doesn't take much effort to throw in some special effects, a box and some text involving some achievement.

Edit: which reminds me, http://mal.oko.im has some achievements for MAL. Just insert your user name.

I actually tried once, but stopped because it took too much effort. If people are honestly interested in this, I'd be willing to put in the effort to change it.

Ahhh, the wonders of Photoshop.

That's not a bad idea, I just want to see if I'd actually have a following of people who are actually interested in participating.

http://mal.oko.im/Meri

this site has achievements that are really funny



So manly I can't breathe
GAR: level 1
Watching all those men made you feel like a little girl… and you liked it.

Earned because you watched: (25)




Me? PILOT this thing?!
Mecha: level 1
Got kidnapped by some kind of secret organization. We know it's your first time seeing such a huge mecha, but you must pilot it. You can do it.

Earned because you watched: (26)



So I guess go there if you want achievement badges related to MAL.

Those are pretty cool, but they seem too complicated to earn really. I mean, these could eventually reach those levels. But I'm starting out with something simple.
