Trophies, Badges, and Ranks!

Im not sure Michael is solely responsible for OB. I should imagine there are quite a number of others who play a huge role in OB success. I take my hat off to them all

Agreed, very impressive. Didn't mean to ignore the hard work being done by others.

Is there anyplace that defines what the rockers are? "benefactor" "supporter" etc.

[Jeff Graham]

My Rank shows Benefactor. I'm happy to be a Benefactor, but their is a bar for that. How do I get my Rank to show? Not super important, I just noticed this today, and thought I would ask.

@Jeff Graham You must pay to get that.

On Achievements, concidering the newly shown Guardian badge; I think achievments/badges should be

Guardian:
1. Get certfied as an LNT or Tread lightly trainer
2. Hold an OB LNT or Tread trainer class
3. Bring awareness to some environmental issue that effects overlanding such as an article or photo.
4. Clean up a trail, campsite
5. Volunteer on a cleanup crew for a real group.
6. More?

As OB overlanders we really should be stewards of the places we visit, not renegades who use and abuse.

How do you select the badges to display ?

I pay to be a Benefactor. For most members, under name shows "Rank (I-VI)". I show Benefactor, I would like to change this to Rank ?

 

[Ozzie H]

Your talking about paying for membership

I know IPA as India Pale Ale but that might be due to my ex Naval background and alcohol was generally on demand

Thanks for looking into this. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice, if I could change this to Rank.

Indeed there are quite a few people

Hey, at all I really like the Idea of Archievements! The ones you invented are awesome and hard to get but we'll work on that :)
I have only one thing that bothers me, these Goals are only for Forum stuff, like providing a Route. What about some like these:

- General
- Visit another Country with a fellow Overlander
- Help a Overlander/fellow Motorist in need! (Towing or Mechanical assistance)
- Trail Assistance (Help a Member Stuck in a Trail)
- Show your Rig to the World (by a post in forum)
- Invite a new Member (by Invite Card)

- Exploration
- Aimless Explorer: Visit 3 Countrys with your Rig
- Trailblazer: Visit 6 Country with your Rig
- Pathfinder: Visit 15 Country with your Rig
- Ranger: Visit 30 Country with your Rig
- Legendary Explorer: Has visited more that 30 Countrys around the Globe

- Base Camp
- One Man Shelter: Have a Base Camp with 1-2 Tents (Roof Tents, Normal Ground Tents or 1-Man Tents)
- Basic BaseCamp: Have at least 5 Tents on the Side
- Small Colony: Have 15 Tents deployed on the Campside
- OB Headquater: Have at Least 30 Tents on a Campground

- Trail completion
- Crawler: Complete one Trail
- Trailblazer: Complete 3 Trails
-

- On the Grid:
- Sunday Driveout: Drive 100 Kilometers on Highways
- Wrong Road: Drive 600 Kilometers on Highways
- Long-Distance Driver: Drive 1500 Kilometers on Highways
- Trucker: Drive 3000 Kilometers on Highways

- Off the Grid:
- Country Roader: Drive 300 Kilometers on non-Highway Roads
- Detour-Taker: Drive 600 Kilometers on non-Highways Roads
- Forest Road Crawler: Drive 1000 Kilometers on non-Highways Roads and 100 Kilometers on non-serviced Roads (Offroad)
- Dirt Lover: Drive 2000 Kilometers on non-Highways Roads and 500 Kilometers on non-serviced Roads (Offroad)

- Self-sufficient Camping
- Stay off the Grid for more that 5 Days without Refueling or Restocking

- Helper:
-First Aid:
- Help a OB Member in need of Medical Assistance
- Give a lesson in how to set up your Vehicle for first Aid situations
- Give a lesson how to react in case of emergency
- Participate in any Lesson given by OB Members
- Driving Skills
- Participate in a Offroad Driving Lesson
- Participate in any Driving Lesson (provided by ADAC in Germany for example)

Thats a lot and now your wondering who will all confirm that stuff? Well it's something for the future. But once there is a App with GPS tracking it will be a lot easyer. Also taking Pictures and sharing them helps.

It's late and im tiered but I will extend the List later.

Greetings and thanks for the awesome Community!

I love this! Thank you very much! Indeed, the other tracks are intended to be mostly non-forum related stuff. This will be helpful!
