Holla fellow "Badgers"!
Well, it's kinda "official", based on what was replied by Nike+ Running & posted on Facebook w/c I spotted yesterday:
(
I intentionally erased the FB askers/posters' names to protect their privacy...the poor peeps got "robbed" --like the rest of us badgers..if you ask me) I dunno about you guys/gals, but this seems an "easy way out" or a "cop out" for Nike Running & Nike+ Support to put a stop to all the questions of badges not getting credited to us. It "
...was a 2012-specific achievement and is NOT Recurring this year". Whaaaaaat!?!? O_o No "
Valentine's Day" achievement for 2013?!? That just "breaks my heart"...aside from elevating my blood pressure :-( How can Valentine's Day NOT be a recurring event? It always falls on February 14 worldwide Heller!?!?....Dammit!!!! (>_<) I "ran" away from a Valentine's date expecting to get a badge after all....Then you tell us it was "2012-specific"...the same way with the Resolution & Dragon badge? It took you what? Like weeks, even months to "figure" that out, after telling most of us that "you'll look into it"...tsk, tsk, tsk....Do you really believe we're that dumb to just "accept" that reasoning? I mean I can probably accept the "Dragon badge" not getting awarded for the Chinese New Year since it doesn't fall on the same day each year (
besides, the animal sign for this year is a "Snake" not a "Dragon"). But its quite different for a
New Year's Resolution (Jan.01) or a
Valentine's Day (Feb.14) badges...since they always fall on the same date! Also, these "particular" badges are "somewhat extra special" and anyone who gets them must be given "recognition" for their efforts at the very least. Why? Well, we all know how people kinda "abuse" themselves with "drunken revelry and uhmmm...debauchery" when these special dates occur...and yet, some of us find time to put in a run or two and stayed active on the "program"....right? So...enough with your "
source of motivation, surprise and delight" spiel Nike Running!!!! (>_<) Most of us need to "visualize" the goals to get motivated ok? Second, "Life is more manageable when it is treated as a scavenger hunt rather than a Surprise party" --which btw, like everything else in life...most of us "just don't do it"....we gotta "plan for it" first then do it. Lastly what will delight us (well, mostly me) is when you actually fix and improve the way the Nike+ apps and website work instead of giving us these run-arounds and "revolting" reasonings. Comprende? <Sigh>
There, I got my "rant" out. Anyways, for those who are curious enough what The Chocolate Heart (
Valentine's Day) badge looked like last year, its this one:
Well, that's supposedly what it looked like (thanks to
howtonike.blogspot.com for the picture). For those who actually got a Resolution and/or "Dragon" badge last year (2012 or perhaps the year before?)....may I invite you to send us or post a pic of it? (so us "badgers" can take a look at it also)...
Consider this the first "official" Badgering post! ;-P Thanks for reading, gotta "run" & see you next time!
