Ah, thank you for that.

I don't really see the need to have them all listed. You just go to the members page and find the top achievement earners. Chances are you can get a pretty full list from that.

Is the keys in the car one where your thread gets locked? Anyone know?

Obviously people don't like that though. However, I don't think anything more than a list of the images and names would be fair. They are supposed to be hidden. They are worth a lot more points because they are difficult to get. If they aren't difficult to get, then there's no point.

It's not really about the difficulty to get level that we're complaining about (I don't think), it's just that we have absolutely no idea what we're getting some of the achievements for. Normally when you get an achievement you know exactly what for. But since we can't be trusted not to share, we don't get to know. It's almost pointless for some of them in a way.

Exactly.

Why should I care about a hidden achievement? I have no idea how I got it and no clues as to how. It should be fun because they're secret, but you might as well not even tell us we're getting them because it wouldn't change a thing. Whatever we did to earn it would go unnoticed all the same. I'm not saying they're bad ideas, but some of the titles are too vague (Color Me Red) and others are obvious to the point of multiple possible meanings with none that are clearly right (Everyone's a Critic--could be a lot of things involving criticism). So just a clue in the right direction would be nice. Like, say, Mary Jane. Let's assume Eric is right and you have to post at 4:20. The clue could be, "It's that time again..." Makes perfect sense with the title (time to smoke weed), but also hints at the fact that the achievement is based on time. It seems overly obvious in hindsight, but for those of us who never thought of it (like me), it's still incredibly vague. It'll at least give some confirmation to those who think they've figured out (it makes sense), but doesn't altogether give away the answer. And as long as you guys don't confirm/deny anything, the members can never really be sure, anyway, unless they tried to unlock them via the methods someone has proposed (which we could still do even now if we wanted to; I just don't think most people do).

As for a list of them, that defeats the point of them being hidden. Keep them secret until unlocked. Again, if anyone really wants to know, they can go find them on other people's pages, but I try to avoid that because I enjoy unlocking achievements, especially on accident. I just don't enjoy being completely in the dark about it.

I can kinda understand where you're coming from, but they're still not pointless. You still get points from them... quite a bit at that. :P I'll consider it I guess, but I really can't see it happening.

It's been years and I still haven't figured it out.

Also, after rereading my most recent post in this thread, I still stand by what I said.

If you play it backwards and modulate the soundtrack with the rick roll soundtrack, it does describe the hidden achievements, but in Latin.
