DECKILLER'S PROFILE
Hi there! I'm the Manager of RMN; I handle submissions (except reviews), events, some light moderation, some front page content, and other odds and ends.
New achievements
I wanted to do that, but I was worried that people would be concerned that their achievements pages would get too cluttered (hence the two different achievements). Maybe achievements 1-2, 3-5, 5+? I'm fine with stacking achievements as long as everyone else is.
How to become half as good as the masters of Hobbyist game development?
Super RMN World
Lol, I'm finishing up a couple of RM obligations (Reincarnation and a chain game thingie) but I should be doing the last round of judging by the 30th.
Achievement From Nowhere
This topic was featured in our Writing Spot in October 2012:

If you'd still like it removed, I can do so. These achievements are like a thank you to anyone who has helped fill our main page with content over the past couple years.

New achievements
I'm still debating how to handle video achievements for LPs - e.g. whether to give the developers of the game achievements as well as the LPer. I'm leaning on the "give them to the devs too" since they are small achievements and it's their game being displayed.
A Shout Out To RMN?
New achievements
Yeah, some way to sort would be cool. Otherwise we could make Redux worth 20 and remove the older achievement.
I can rename the Limelight achievement and keep the poke theme goin'

Assigning credit is going to be the biggest challenge.
Please note that for games that are featured and whatnot, only those listed as leads or devs will get the achievement credit. If I see artists specified in the credits and it's a screenshot or something, I'll make an exception.
If you're credited as an "Other" and had a role in a featured gamespot/screenshot, feel free to let me know so you can get the achievement. I'm giving it to leads/devs, but like I said, some people may be credited as "others" who had a major role.
For example, a mapper made an environment featured as a Pic of the Moment, but they are credited as an Other. Let me know and I'll give the achievement to the mapper as well as the leads/devs.
tl;dr version: Give us a PM if you should have an achievement for something but don't!

[Poll] Judging whether to download a game? What do you look for?
For me, it's two-fold: screenshots (graphics/style) and description. I put priority on the description because based on my past experiences, a competent description means competent writing. And since RPGs are text-driven, competent writing is key. However, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I also want to see diverse screenshots that demonstrate ability.
New achievements
Surprise!
So I just added small 10 MS achievements for the following:
Pic of the Moment feature
RMN TV feature
Writing spot feature
Game/Dev Spotlight feature
There are also "redux" achievements, meaning you can earn up to two per category (and many have already!). I grandfathered everything, which is why some of you suddenly have 3-4 achievements in your notices. :)
