This is what we used to have to do back in the day, in Bloody Bay.

And we had to walk uphill both ways to get to the zone! In the snow!

...wait, what are we talking about here, again? Get offa my lawn you kids!!!

Oof, I remember that. I was right there with you for about 500 of the SOB's. I was very happy when Issue 10 came out and I was able to get this badge through normal fighting.

(And yes, Eric, it is acceptable to use an apostrophe in between an acronym and an s to denote that it is plural. Possibly not preferred, but acceptable. )

And that apostrophe denotes...what is missing? Your grammar education?

In the 19th century, it was standard to use the apostrophe to form a plural of a foreign-sounding word or an acronym to clarify pronunciation.. but this is the 21st century.. lol

Misused apostrophes are often referred to as "idiot's apostrophes" (a literal translation of the German word Deppenapostroph which criticises the misapplication of apostrophes in Denglisch).

Could have been worse. Could have been the lone Contaminated in RV, going for the Isolator badge.

Know someone who did it that way, and found someone else was also trying to do it, and they started with a rivalry, trying to get it before the other could. Then, they decided to team up, and both get credit for the kill.

The best part? They both got the badge days before Issue 11.

Thank You all. Happy New Year

What makes you think I didn't do that too?

In fact I did have to -- when I started playing in March/April of 2005, I had never played an MMO before, and had no idea what a "badge" was. So doing the tutorial with my original (and badge) toon, I didn't have any idea there even WAS a badge, and even if I HAD known, it probably wouldn't have mattered.

So I was very pleased when they added the lone Contaminated in RV. I just parked my toon in the tram station and logged in every so often to check. I even started a tracking spreadsheet (since this of course pre-dated the progress counters in-game, and I'm too dense to use HeroStats for anything other than badge-verifying ), and it didn't take all that long to get the required defeats.

That's how I got mine

*Pyro and I shake our fists at Kheldarn!*

I did that too. When my character was first created, there WERE no badges. And even when they came out, very few tracked any prior data (only the TF Accomplishment badges, if memory serves).

I spent two weeks in Recluse's Victory. When everybody else was PVPing, beating AVs/Heroes and trading pillboxes, I was sitting in the train station. I was the first person on Victory to get the badge exclusively from fighting Contaminated in RV.

I wore that badge with friggin' pride, though, all the way up until I got the "Architect C" badge. I'd intended to keep that badge title forever, but I had so damn much trouble getting Master of Statesman's Task Force that I finally decided to switch it up and use that title instead.
