Scioly Achievement List

[SilverBreeze]

Perhaps a wiki page could be created to record what each achievement means? It's a bit hard to remember what everything means.

I might do that. Someone else would have to do formatting tho lol

I'll pitch in. I just PMed the Wikimods to ask if it was ok, seeing as it's not directly related to competition, and some might consider the page useless.

We have an Off-Topic Forums section... maybe it's time to start its counterpart in the Wiki. You could group it with the lolmain page and the Div. D page.

I got the "all good" from the Wikimods, we are good to start making the page.

Here's the page: https://scioly.org/wiki/index.php/Scien ... ement_List.

Here's the page: https://scioly.org/wiki/index.php/Scien ... ement_List.

Now we gotta create userboxes for all the achievements...

[BennyTheJett]

Alright, I have every achievement from this subforum in there (I hope). Anyone have any ideas for how to make the page better?

Missed a couple of mine I tacked on to the end of my list... I can add them... might want to fix all caps vs. normal capitalization for achievement titles? Looks a bit mismatched, but not a priority.

[Things2do]

Alphabetization would be nice... I'm willing to do it. The ''' will need to be added to each of 'em to end the bolding, but it should be otherwise ready to put in the Wiki page.

In fact, since I mentioned it... (Click to Show Hidden Text)

CLUTCH ACHIEVEMENT - Chem Lab @ YUSO 2020 (6th), turns out i forgot almost everything from ap chem
EULER ACHIEVEMENT - Chem Lab during tryouts 2018-19... did not turn out well rip
NEWTON-LEIBNIZ ACHIEVEMENT - I'm pretty sure I've done this a couple of times in astro and other events.

MULTIPLE GUESS ACHIEVEMENT - everyones done this at least once...
BS ACHIEVEMENT - DP (1st) @ States 2019 - my partner and i were dumb and had never heard of the 8.2 kiloyear event and we had to explain why it happened i think, so i bsed some stuff about thermohaline circulation that i think was right.
HOST ACHIEVEMENT - Geo Mapping @ YUSO 2020 - my partner was a freshman who had never done the event before and didn't really know any geology either, so I let him practice codebusters stuff and ocassionally asked him to flip through my binder for me lol

STUDY EVENT PARASITISM ACHIEVEMENT - Geo Mapping @ Princeton 2019 (4th) - i think our binder dated all the way back to 2015 (we couldn't use it this year because it was more than 2 inches and i also may have lost it rip), Fossils @ every competition 2020 - our binder was largely made by the two seniors who did the event last year.
EVENT POLYGON ACHIEVEMENT - numerous times (for example, my astro partner's chem lab partner's protein modeling partner's experimental design partner's codes partner was my geologic mapping partner).
UN-STREET SMART ACHIEVEMENT - almost every single time oops
Scripps Achievement - Given that I always write out "West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South" on every test, I wouldn't be surprised if I've done this many times.

I've marked two of the listings with a "1X" superscript. They're the same thing under two different names, and I wasn't sure of what should be done about it. Those're the only instances of "1X" on the page, so you can find 'em quickly with [CTRL] + [F] .

[jimmy-bond]

Does it count for National Security Achievement if my friend brought 50 decks of cards and TSA made him go through each one because they thought he was smuggling cocaine? No clue if he actually got the tape but still, it has to be worth something.
ACCESS DENIED ACHIEVEMENT: that one year we went to a different regionals than the other top 2 teams in Hawaii... Good times.
