Omnium Badge Questions...

Quote by Milik_the_Red
That's okay. I've gotten used to annoying people

The system can take awhile to update. Your badge will be returned.

I dont have the omnium.

I know. As I said, I misquoted you. Sorry.

Quote by Poppet


Don't worry, no one...and I mean no one thought you had an Omnium badge.

Quote by kiera


True.

Quote by Magical_felix


Like, not one person in all of lushdom thought that kiera. Not one. Not a single lush user would ever confuse you for someone that could do that. Just the thought of it elicits laughter.

Quote by Poppet


You're not annoying. You're unique. A special kind of flavor and not everyone can handle that taste. But the ones who can? Oh, we cherish it dearly.

I've asked Gav to confirm all this.

The Omnium badge is for those who've written a story in every category. So, in theory, once we add a new category, nobody should have an Omnium badge until they write a new story for that category, or transfer one over to that category.

Another option might be to have a badge for writing stories in a wide number (30?) of categories - "Genre Badge" or something along those lines?

Quote by Poppet
I've put a brand new story up in the historic category yesterday and I wake up today to see that I don't have my omnium badge anymore. I also noticed that Banes1 still doesn't have his back either. Is this going to be fixed soon?

Quote by Banes1
Why am I the only one out of five to lose my omnium badge?

I moved my pirate story to the Historical Category the day the category was posted.

I thought once moved there I would still have the badge.

Will someone kindly explain this to me?

Here is the link to my story;

Thank you for your time.

There's normally a 24 hour delay to recalculate the badges. However its been longer than that, so I suspect there's something wrong. There are 3 others with the badge, but interestingly they have published in 38 categories, you have 39.

I think that if you HAVE GAINED an Omnium Ribbon before the addition of NEW CATEGORIES then that should stand.

That is an UNIMAGINABLY horrible and cruel thing to say.

Really.

Thanks Gav. Figured that when I didn't see the badge on my profile this evening.

I have a omnium badge question - I'm only 7-8 categories away from attaining it but I was wondering is it allowed/a good idea to maybe create a series for stories to go into the omnium badge so its easier to organize/see that every category is accounted for, esp if you have more than one story for the category we can pick which one we think is 'best' or what have you to go in that omnium badge 'omnibus' series as it were? I know it would be hard on the mods to have that done esp if we are like 80% of the way toward it already so that's why I ask, I don't want to tax the mod team more than they are already taxxed but it felt like an inspired idea as I am trying to organize my worlds /writings anyway?

It has been done -- see the stories by CumGirl. The basic series followed a topic progression satisfying the needed categories. It was quite a clever approach, simplifying the creative demand.

Cool. I'll just be doing it backwards I suppose?

Not to burden the Dev Team, how about adding a 'Sort by category' option that sorts an author's stories per category in an alphabetical order, something that is accessible for readers, too.

Example:

Anal

Story Def

Story Qrs

BDSM

Story Ghi

Bisexual

No stories published in this category yet.

Cheating

Story Abc

Story Jkl

Story Lmn

I created my own forum post where I order the categories and put my stories in each and posted a link on my profile. It was more for me, but helpful a few times when readers asked if I had any stories in certain categories.

Don't tell me there's a category for THAT as well now...I'm not bendy enough to even write about it.😇

I made a spreadsheet, but I like the post idea
