I think those with 200 wins should be rewarded with another badge. Maybe "Master of Trades" or some such similar title. Very difficult to reach 100 wins (I'm nowhere near there!) how much harder for 200?

Or 300? 300 is good, too. :)

I thought of a good badge to add to this. How about a prolific expert, where it is based on the number of "Champion" plays you make. I noticed bigdog has over 3000, which is ridiculous, and there are a number of people that have 1000 or more. Not sure what I good number would be to make this one difficult, I have just over 500, and have my All Trades badge, so I have the opportunity to get more plays. Something to think about, all ye powers that be.

I didn't notice exactly when it happened, but I must congratulate DaBomb on being the first to 300 wins.

P.S. Even more impressive is that most of those wins came in the heavily lopsided 76+ division.

I think there should be a badge for a certain number of wins in the Champs division. It would encourage more people to participate in the Champs division as well.

I really like robert's idea. Seems that someone who has multiple wins in the champions division is probably actually the expert of the category and not someone who eked out the victory by googling or doing it at level 20 or something.

A clarification: I'd rather see (if even measured) someone who wins the champion division for a specific category 5 times get something as opposed to someone who has 5 separate champion victories. Not that the latter's not an accomplishment, but the former is truly reflective of someone's expertise.

I like the idea robert326 has also. It won't encourage me to play champion division games as I answered in under 40 seconds only once. Very discouraging to play when someone has 15/15 in under 30 seconds. But, I am for rewarding those who do well!

I agree with the idea of champion wins.

Perhaps the same badges could be implemented... A badge for winning one round in the champs division. Then a "Champ of Many Trades" and "Champ of All Trades" badge.... One for 20 champ wins, and one for 100 champ wins. Just like the expert badges, but a bit tougher because you need to beat all the champs. :-)

I quite like the idea.

I think Salami swami just did all the work. I wouldn't change a thing. Even the names of the badges.

I also think there could be a second Who's the Expert game the same hour, ranked according to number of wins in the Who's the Expert Game instead of level divisions. That way you could play in two special themes every hour. The More Expert badges the better, it's one of the best games!

Is there a reason there's not a monthly Expert badge? I realize that it would have to stretch across all divisions, since we all play our division and Champions of the ones we have already won, but I think that would be a prestigious badge to get.

Along these lines, maybe there could be a badge for accumulating a certain number of Who's The Expert points.

And a Daily who's the expert game with badges and all, on a particular theme chosen by a funtrivia member selected at random, like the lucky ducky or the perfect score.

...who would have a time window to choose for the following 24 hours. If they didn't exercise their choice, funtrivia would make the selection. So the theme would be "brought to you by (funtrivia member)"

There could be a badge called "Champion of champions" for those who achieve 100 wins against other champions in their champion division games.
I agree with having a badge called "Master of all trades" for those people who achieve either 200 or 250 wins in the non-champion numbered divisions.

I agree with Kenners.

What about a badge for consecutive wins? Imagine the competition for a mini for 2 in a row and a level up for 5. This could apply to all hourlies. Just a thought...

Afterthought- 5 in a row is just stupid. Thought I might lower that to 3 which is probably still a challenge worthy of the Diamond Dome.
