Tracking different stats and ranking you in comparison to other users on the site, eg. number of seasons ranked gold or higher, number of markets traded on, number of likes received on your comments, etc.
The key is that for each, you see your percentile (or maybe #ranking).
Users can see a full list of achievements on their profile. TBD what other users see when visiting your profile. Do they see all of them? Maybe they just see the achievements where you are in the highest percentile.
The follow-on task would be to add badges, which maybe you just choose one of your achievements and the corresponding badge gets displayed by your name across the site. Hovering over the badge would then show the specific achievement and where you are amongst other users such as shown in the screenshot above. Not going to worry about this right now.
The intention will be to not have any prizes for these achievements. People will know if you’ve earned your standing through bad acting, making the recognition redundant. The value added to long-term users who will have a decent ranking from all of this will outweigh the few individuals who try to artificially boost their stats.
Probably will do around 75% of these, not all of them. Need to decide if to show the user all the achievements that are “0”, or if they should be hidden until they get at least some score on it. One option would be to add a toggle.
