So, the last time we got a new batch of achievements was back in March 2010, and so I figure that it'd be great to get another group added! The novice achievements made last year were great, but I do like aiming for more things to dabble around in (and xp boosts/free lessons are dandy too). If folk have ideas they'd like added, feel free to chime in. I've drawn some from the older thread, and more would be interesting to see!
Not particularly sure how the administration feel about achievements that are only available when someone is part of an organization, but I'd think they'd be interesting! I mean, things like....
Yay, late night brainstorming.

Yay, late night brainstorming.
My only issue is what about for people who have previously done these things - will they have to re-do them? (I don't remember when achievements were put in, nor how they worked originally, as I didn't play at the time)
I already own a manse, am married, have a kid, etc...
Edit: Also, beastmastery achievements.

Certain things just had to be verified by the system, the kill counts you had to go out and kill something I believe, but other things, you'd have to do again (fae one from his org suggestion as an example)
I like those achievement names 
Yeah, as much as I like the idea of elected office achievements, it sounds like a bad idea in the end 
Maybe have an achievement for having a design with your name in the 'designedby' field successfully submitted?

Yay, life in the thread after I went to bed! Now, let's see...
A lot of these things are already recorded by the system and can easily be accounted for, really, so achievements already gotten prior to implementation can get added to you. For instance, status lists your marital/divorce state, so that'll be counted, family tree likewise shows children and news posts in Politics record prior elected officials!
I don't quite understand this sentiment. For me personally, a -lot- of those achievements I tossed up were things I personally tried to do within the game. I like having a checklist of things in my Lusternian career that does show my accomplishments, and I don't see how getting 2 'points' (which don't do anything but move you up in a superfluous ranking system) for getting e-married hinder your roleplay immersion?
Elected positions usually involve the participation of a guild, city, commune or family - if you get an -entire- organization to abstain from its roleplay of who should lead the group just for a momentary boost in superfluous points for one individual, then that organization is doomed to fail as roleplayers anyway, no?
On a more positive note though, yay people like the names.

Ugh more achievements? I'm sorry, but every time I see a suggestion for yet ANOTHER way of OOC rewarding people for OOC gaming, I get really turned off. I thought achievements were really neat, I'm glad we have them, but are we really to the point where the only way we'll have fun anymore is to pull ourselves away from IC gaming again?

- look at the things like hold family seat. contest for the seat, get seat and achievement. give back to the original holder.
- also most people do achievements only to say they have them. a lot of gaming can be done to just get the achievement and points for it. as I said anything that needs one as a leader where you can contest for the achievement and then give it back to the person who actually deserves it.
