Hi Snurk and wishing you a Merry New Year too. Your badge is my all-time favorite and I want to thank-you (again) for providing this for the WCG Community.  Looking at the requirement for achieving "Guru" level, I have an observation to share. Having read through several previous discussions of this topic, it would appear the most likely people to achieve "Guru" are those that have been Crunching at WCG since inception and at least realized a badge from 22 of the 24 Projects (the 90% science and beta badges requirement currently in place). I did some analysis of this and also included the average Projects per year that have been released since 2004. That average is 2.2 projects per year across the past (11) years through 2014. Carrying it a little further, I did a forecast of how long it would take to achieve "Guru" level given a person (like myself) that has 15 badges. It would take 29 years (or until the year 2043) to achieve "Guru". That is because of the additive effect of every time a project is added, it also factors into the 90% calculation because the total Projects count (since inception) are used. Taking 29 years to reach "Guru" could certainly be considered an act of dedication, but it will be too long for me. I'll be dead of old age by 2043.  Even if the factor for Badges completed across all projects was (80%) versus the current (90%) setting, it would still take me another 10 years to achieve "Guru". I would never advocate that "Guru" should be easy to attain, but at the current calculations, it seems pretty unattainable. Just wanted to share these observations with you as "food for thought". There have been several discussions on the Guru topic indeed. Lately I'm wondering if I should keep this feature (together with the junior/senior icon) on the signatures. There are two items on the signature that are not real WCG data, but 'invented' by me. That's the globe and the junior/senior/guru icon. The rest is normal WCG data. Perhaps I should only stick to the globe and WCG data and no other self invented items to keep it more clean. |

Perhaps I should only stick to the globe and WCG data and no other self invented items to keep it more clean. Please keep those SNURK invented items (junior/senior/guru, etc). They add a bit more recognition for levels of participation that I think many people value. I'm a big believer in having lots of "accomplishment yardsticks" for nothing other than a way to help maintain interest while we wait for the most meaningful accomplishments (the science). My thoughts were purely just "thinking out loud" and I would not want you to remove any of the things that (I feel) make your badge "special". If I croak before I make Guru, then so be it, but by all means retain what you have done. So many people love your badge as I do and it is a "winning creation" in the world of badge-dom.  |

On the bright side, those of us with 22 badges only have to wait till it hits 30 projects to get guru.

But why is someone talking/thinking about being a Guru, when they are years away from being a senior?
