It also proposes a mechanism of 'titles', rather than simnple badges, indicating levels of achievement: "what if we had hierarchical titles that can be earned as you get more badges? Like how some games start you off as a 'townsperson' and move up to "King" or how in one of Alice's classes you begin as a 'Noob' and move up to 'Super Genius'" You can use Jon Orr's Master Spreadsheet to try this out yourself.
