Achievements with no criteria

[Trekkan]

I'd like to be able to manually add an achievement that doesn't have any associated criteria.

The reason for this is basically that the current criteria system can't possibly calculate things such as "died the most times in a single game session" or something.

Sure, I could do this with a medal, but... it's more of an achievement in a way to me. I dunno... I could use medals.... but it just feels wrong.

Hmm, ok, ignore this request. I'll just use medals. I'm only posting it still because maybe a better idea/discussion will come of it.

Medal.

hmm, Letting achievements do this would just confuse people to be honest. Most people wouldn't understand why achievements and medals can do the same thing.

the only way around this would be to do all your achievements as medals. vba's achievement systems is all about what you do on the forums and not what you do in say a game, however the medals system was developed so people had the choice to go things outside of the forum area. its quite easy to make achievements as medals but it would mean a lot of work on your part making them and manually giving them out to everyone.

Maybe we need a "medal moderator" or something access level? That way I could let people in specific usergroups (my division leaders) hand out medals to their people, etc.
