The 'Shroom:Issue 100/The 'Shroom Achievements
The 'Shroom Achievements
Hello, members of The 'Shroom! You must be wondering, "what's all of this about?" To explain, the idea of 'Shroom Achievements was presented as a potential partnership between The 'Shroom and the Awards Committee as a sort of way to draw attention to both projects. If a 'Shroom writer manages to unlock some sort of achievement– boom!– you not only unlock the achievement, but you get tokens as well. As the economy of Awards tokens tends to fluctuate each year, we will instead provide you with 'Shroom Tokens, which you can then exchange for Awards tokens based on an agreed exchange rate between the two currencies.
Due to the messiness of dealing with age-old 'Shroom token distribution, we'll not be handing out achievements retroactively; you will only be able to acquire 'Shroom achievements from this issue onwards, which will be kept in check by our Statistics Managers, RandomYoshi (talk) and Turboo (talk). If you wish to know how many tokens you currently have, then please feel free to contact either of them. Terribly sorry for any inconveniences.
