Board Game Geek Arimaa Award Badges
The Arimaa Award Badges program on BoardGameGeek.com was designed and setup by Ururam Tururam (UruramTururam) based on a proposal at BGG (http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/600304/tournament-signup).
Since the golden elephant is reserved for the buyable "Arimaa fan" badge, silver pieces were used for the design of a set of "Arimaa awards" badges.
Rules
The following rules were adopted for awarding the badges. See http://arimaa.com/arimaa/forum/cgi/YaBB.cgi?board=talk;action=display;num=1297805501
- Elephant - "Arimaa Grand Prize". Currently held by the founder of Arimaa Challenge. It will be awarded to the developer of the very computer program that wins the challenge when such a fact occurs.
- Camel - "Arimaa World Champion". Awarded to human players who won Arimaa World Championship at least once.
- Horse - "Arimaa Challenge program developer". Awarded to developers of Arimaa playing programs that won either Arimaa Computer Championship or the Arimaa Challenge Qualification.
- Dog - "Arimaa Challenge defender". Awarded to human players who played at least once in the Arimaa Challenge winning more than a half of the number of games the human players are expected to play that year.
- Cat - "Arimaa Computer Championship developer". Awarded to developers of bots that played in Arima Computer Championship tournaments (including qualification tournaments). Note: the Arimaa microbadge manager may decide not to award this badge to a developer of a bot that malfunctioned repetitively (submitting bad moves, hanging, etc.).
- Rabbit - "Arimaa World Championship player". Awarded to players who participated in World Championship tournaments including qualification ones. Note: the Arimaa microbadge manager may decide not to award this badge to a player who dropped from the tournament or resigned repetitively.
