Good enough but no badge (and the one you get for 10 comments doesn't mean a thing to me). I don't keep up with all my stats but from what I do see on games for be are tons of fours. That is so insulting. Voting is a weapon of discouragement. - Sassette, Aug 25, 2015

What makes entries from Porcu, Mardle, and rac1 so special where they deserve a badge and I don't? Can you pass this game and my question along to SD administrators? Maybe they have the answers. - Sassette, Aug 25, 2015

Princess - there is no conspiracy on SD - it is just the way the cookie crumble amiga. xx - ian-hill, Aug 25, 2015
