We have just released Achievements! Visit the Achievements tab on your profile page to check it out, or perhaps take a peek at your friend's. Hover over an achievement card to see what percentile you fall into amongst all users.
Any feedback is appreciated, particularly:
-Any additional achievements you'd like to see (we already have some more planned relating to all-time peak portfolio metrics).
-Any additional features related to achievements
-Any values you notice that seem to be wrong
You can expect in the near future:
1) Clicking achievements to see the leaderboard for each
2) Links to specific markets/trades responsible for a particular achievement (thanks for the idea Strutheo)
3) More achievements such as consecutive seasons in masters, highest ever loan, and more!
As others have said, they feel more like leaderboards than achievements. However, I wouldn't want you to change them to make them more achievement-y and less leaderboard-y. I've realised that leaderboards are what I actually want!
@Fion Going to try making different coloured badges (bronze + gold in addition to the current silver) that you can earn by meeting certain thresholds. But other than that colour changing and a progress bar that isn't prominent, I'll probably keep at as is with the most emphasis on the rank still.
Is there a bug with the "age is just a number" where it counts backwards? Or is it intentional that young accounts "win"? Or am I just underestimating how many early accounts there were that might not still be active?
(The reason I ask is cos I'm number 16 in terms of daily streak, but something like 14,000 in terms of account age. I'd've thought if I'm so high for streak I'd be higher up for oldest account.)
@Fion Austin is number 1 in account age, so it's definitely the correct way around. Just a lot of old inactive accounts. Will probably change this achievement anyways since it's impossible to actually improve your score.
How about an achievement that rewards profit divided by net worth? Maybe the best month or league season
anti-superforecaster: (number of markets lost more than 100 mana)/(number of markets won more than 100 mana)
superforecaster: (number of markets won more than 100 mana)/(number of markets lost more than 100 mana)
FYI I'm taking notes for all the feedback and will probably do an update sometime next week with a lot of them.
@100Anonymous Stopping at $1,000 would just be artificially limiting the gains. Need to at least have a $10,000 tier.
(Not to mention there are several users who have already done so.)
Also some potential names for the achievements that are currently just plain statements:
High Frequency Trader -> Manifold Addict
Longest Daily Streak -> Committed Relationship
Giver -> Donation Demigod
Biggest Win -> Magnum Opus
Helpful Moderator -> The People's Stick
@TheAllMemeingEye I also recommend changing Age Is Just A Number to one of:
-> I Was There, 3000 Years Ago
-> Tribal Elder
-> Venture Veteran
Since "Age Is Just A Number" has somewhat gained a notorious reputation as a stock phrase used by online pedophilia advocates.
A couple ideas:
Influencer: number of comments with >10 likes
Microceleb: number of followers (who've bet on at least 1 of your markets)
Well this fucking sucks: number of markets resolved
Sycophant: number of 5-star reviews given
Gunslinger: number of bounties collected
Oracle: longest streak of correct predictions
Lone Wolf: only correct predictor in a large market
Mana Meltdown: most mana lost in a 24-hour period
Big Pot: most bet-on market of the month or year / biggest market
If thereโs a roundup type deal at the end of the year, someone could beโฆ
Sage: most correct predictions of the year
Bullseye: highest overall accuracy across predictions
@yeeta I'm a fan of the Lone Wolf one there. Although, it could be easily gamed. It needs to only count markets with a minimum bar of traders. Otherwise, it's just whoever can best win 1v1s.
@TheAllMemeingEye As somebody awaiting a secret trigger condition to be met to launch Nash Pit Episode 2, these sorts of secret triggers seem to be really hard to naturally trip if you don't leave breadcrumb trails.
maybe mod stuff shouldnt be achievements bc it feels weird to have locked achievements you have no chance of getting (for 99% of people)
Agree with the other commenter that so far these feel more like leaderboards .. yโall could add a function where if someone hits #1 for some category on a particular day it leaves a (hide-able) trophy in a โcaseโ at the top
@yeeta maybe it could also have a ratchet effect where it primarily shows the highest rank you've reached, with your current rank if that's decreased being secondary
@NivlacM maybe we could measure fraud by the size of negative payments from the official manifold accounts i.e. fines
@121 tbf the leaderboeard and stats pages could do with being more prominently displayed on the site, perhaps in the main sidebar rather than being hidden in the about>sitemap page
achievement for holding a position for a long time , or winning markets where you hold to the end
achievements to encourage tipping / subsidizing / other social activities
submitting feedback, having a good feedback score
This is cool!
Some ideas for true one-time-earn, never-lose achievements rather than the leaderboard-like ones there are now:
Steamroller: Bet NO on a market at >97% or YES on a market at <3% and have it resolve in your favor.
API Adept: Make and realize over แน1,000 in profit using API trades.
Engagement Farming: Earn more trader bonuses than your creation costs on one market.
@Robincvgr Oh, also, for leaderboard-like achievements: maybe the topics you're #1 in?
@Robincvgr +1 for "maybe the topics you're #1 in".
I've wanted to see a breakdown of what topics I'm best at for a while. A dedicated page listing topics by profit would be great too!
Maybe some achievements for less-used functionality on the site:
Liquidity added to someone else's market
Tips given/received
Questions/posts boosted
Mana purchased
Posts with at least 1 like
What's required to "earn" an achievement? Most of these seem like leaderboards rather than achievements. It looks like "earning" the achievement means being in the top 20,000 for that. Which leads to the possibility of "unearning" an achievement, which is really weird.
new achievement ideas:
Largest difference from highest amount of mana to lowest amount of mana owned
Predict "correctly" on # of consecutive markets
Profit on <10% or >90% markets
Profit from betting against a market >70% or <30% at time of bet
Profit for other users generated from your markets
# of topics traded in
Mana volume traded on your markets
Mostly looks good, but my "Longest Daily Streak" achievement shows as 0. My current streak is 77.
