I added a new category for badges: Scenarios.

Each WU is 1 out of 400 different seeds for a single scenario. so when you complete 400 tasks, that's essentially completing 1 scenario. so there are now some targets for completing various amounts of scenarios.

I added a new category for badges: Scenarios. 100,000 scenarios = 40 million valid tasks


Does the existence of this badge imply that more scenarios will be added in the future beyond the current 302,400? Or is this badge reserved for the one user who has done a third of the total work?

The beta badge looks like a regular badge from the Credit Badges series. I suggest adding a black β in the center to distinguish it. Aside from that, I think the badges are well-designed.

you're right about the Beta badges, I've changed them to be more distinct.

the 100K scenario badge, yes, there should be more work after this first main sweep. more in-depth sweep of more interesting or borderline scenarios that come out of the first. but truthfully I came up with the badge levels more arbitrarily before changing how the levels worked. maybe i can rethink that.

initially I planned to have the Scenarios badge awarded for contributing to *any* scenario. but that would essentially award everyone fairly equally. and I didnt want it to be a participation trophy, and so the basis was changed to a "scenaio worth of tasks" which means for every 400 tasks you complete, it counts as 1 scenario for the badge, even if they technically weren't all from the same scenario. maybe that needs some more thought too, or maybe I remove the 100K badge. i'll think some more how I'd prefer to award these.
