If every achievement in this thread was put into the game, there wouldnt be a second where someone wasnt getting blasted with achievement completion notifications.

I think that the people that post in this thread are aware that not all of our achievements would appear in the game, so, we are throwing ideas like crazy to see if one of them stick.

Oh, of course! Keep doing what you’re doing, its interesting to see all of the possible achievements that might get put in the game sometime. It really makes the later stages seem just a little closer.

In my prime: Become the (next prime number) person to get every achievement.
