How about mapping analogies to insects/animal and their behavior

• A badge for consistently getting more than 20 points in 3 consecutive rounds? => 🐴 'Horse' or :lion 'Lion' or 🐺 'Wolf' (Wolf of open source)
• A badge for a big leap of more than 40 points in consecutive rounds. => 'Grasshopper' - A rapid plant-eaters - here rapid issue resolver
• A badge for consistently participating in 5 consecutive rounds. => 🐜 'Ant' - Ants form colonies - here participant
• A badge for consistently participating and not scoring more than 2 points in 2 rounds! (some badge like medication to encourage more participation). => 🐌 'Snail' (slow and steady)

We can evolve more innovative badges around this 😄

Pramod's idea of mapping insects/animals sounds interesting to me.

If we use it, we could use something like 'dyne' or any other suitable
energy metric for scores.
So the players get animal badges and energy as score.

+1 for pramod's Idea.

[anujaware]

👍 I like this idea too.

+1 for @pramodshinde idea.

Also we can use names of superheroes and modify names to avoid copywrite or trademark issue.
i.e

People - great ideas. What more rules can we give badges to apart from the ones we have mentioned.

We need at least 10 badges. We also need to think about ideas around the currency exchange - contributors collect "points" and I don't like that terminology -- what could it be? Jewels, exotic elements, flowers, etc. - something exciting that can be exchanged for actual money!

We could use 'Dyne'. It a unit of force or energy. It will match with the
theme of Animal Kingdom.
