Badge Drop #8: Let's Review!!!
by nicole
PHEW! Summer 2017 has been CRAZY GOOD so far! Full of long days, warm nights, and that odd, rarely-seen kind of weather that consists entirely of HOT, SUMMER SUNSHINE!
Honestly, the SUPERIOR QUALITY of this summer has us a little bit blown away! Never before have we experienced a summer so EXHILARATING, so POIGNANT, so SWELTERING HOT and RIDDLED WITH CONSTRUCTION. We deliberated for days, thought long and hard about where we could go to release our MANIC SUMMER ENERGY in an orderly and wordy fashion. Now, FINALLY, we've figured out the PERFECT PLACE to unleash our TIRADE of POSITIVE COMMENTARY about how good, exhilarating, poignant, sweltering and riddled our summer has been so far: RIGHT HERE IN THE LIBRARY CATALOG!
Please, we know you're shocked, but for goodness sake, contain yourselves.
2017 Badge Drop #8 |

Unlike your postman, your bus-driver, your boss, or your pregnant friends, WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!
Did you just read a book that knocked your socks into the stratosphere and left you with a burning desire to tell the world about your SPACE-BOUND SOCKS? Find that book in the catalog and WRITE A REVIEW! Is there a terrible movie that UNJUSTLY STOLE 120 minutes of your summer? DEMAND THEM BACK with some CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! Got a really awesome story about how your DOG once did a ROUNDHOUSE KICK like CHUCK NORRIS? Save that GLORIOUS GEM for your postman, because IT'S NOT ACTUALLY A REVIEW and will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help you earn those prestigious REVIEW MASTER BADGES!
If you find yourself OPINION-LESS, not to worry! This week's drop is bringing you plenty more SHINING NEW BADGES for you to LAY JUDGEMENT upon!
Thanks for telling us what you think and THANKS FOR PLAYING!!!

Hi! I have reviewed 111 items, but I'm not being awarded the badge for reviewing 100 items. Is it a glitch or do I have to wait awhile? I reached over 100 last night. I also earned another badge after that. Any help on what to do? Thanks!

@gardenfaerie - You want to
@gardenfaerie - You want to look in the city that the story takes place in, not where the meeting was held like I did for way too long. A capitalized word in the hint provided is good to include in your google search.
I see that no one has gotten
I see that no one has gotten the badge for the latest Arbor Stories yet. Only the first code worked for me even though I'm confidant I have the other ones right. Is this a contact someone from the library situation?

The second code didn't work for me. I got the first and third. I tried many variations of the second clue, which seems obvious, but nothing worked. Is there a problem?
@Zekicmom, thank you SOOO
@Zekicmom, thank you SOOO much. Once I knew the right city, it was a LOT easier. Still, Expriation Date has got to be my least favorite badge series.
I also didn't get the second clue to Ann Arbor Stories and I'm sure what I entered was right.
I was able to get the third code in A2 Stories, it's a year, using numerals, not spelled out. The first two are from last century. The second two are three less than an age many people freak out when turning. :)
HINT: If you're trying B and
HINT: If you're trying B and S for A2 stories, less is more.
Has anyone got the Over Dun
Has anyone got the Over Dun Dun Dun badge? I've been working on the fourth clue, which I think the answer is s***** or l***** s***** or y******* s*****, but I can't find a code anywhere. I'm relying on internet searches for answers because I cannot watch those movies!

Still waiting to hear back about the issue with the giga reviewer badge. Any update? I'm up to about 140 reviews but still not awarded for doing 100. Thanks!
:) LETTER 776
My guess is that the giga
My guess is that the giga reviewer badge is on some kind of glitch (no one's got it yet) and that it'll be fixed on Monday. The perils of doing a badge drop before the weekend, I suppose.
The Giga Review Master badge
The Giga Review Master badge must have a glitch because it hasn't been awarded to anyone and I had over 100 reviews before it came out on Friday and the other two review badges came through that I qualified for.

Finished the Forest Hill
Finished the Forest Hill Cemetery badge today - what a nice (but long!) stroll through an area that I've driven by so many times before! Props to my 4 year old for tagging along for the hour and a half it took to complete it.
We got really stuck for a while looking for the third clue, and in the end we finally determined that the first part of the clue was found in area 8PK, not M. At least, that's what it seemed like to me (maybe the GMs can verify). Just thought I'd pass that intel along for anyone struggling with the badge.
Another bonus - walking by Bo Schembechler's gravesite on the way to the 5th code!

@aunty and @mmm,
For the Overly Tanky code, try putting a space in one of those compound words when you look it up in the catalog. That search result will get you the code you need. Cheers!
Sorry, but putting spaces in
Sorry, but putting spaces in between words for overly tanky doesn't work!! I've tried spaces in between different words and still have gotten nothing. I don't even know what the heck I'm looking for.
@aunty, Huh, that's weird!
@aunty,
Huh, that's weird! It's a book, with a picture of a lady on the front. I found it by searching just one of the two words (with no spaces in the word), or one word with no space and the second word with a space. Good luck!
